Is this the best music documentary? Post your favorites
>Fuck. You see. Fuck. Fuuuck.
All of my favorite music docs are for artists I don't even like
>>130043292Pic is the best I've seen and I don't like cannibal that much, saw the one about richie blackmore recently and it was pretty good
>>130043557>What is this, some kinda monster?
>>130045463The Devil and Daniel Johnston.
>>130043292Get Back
>>130043557i'm not a metal fan in the slightest but i heard this docu is legendary, should i still watch it?
>>130046146Yes, it's Spinal Tap IRLhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjYvScUfAnY
>>130043292BJM was so funny to see live, and they're one of my favorite bands. Newcombe isn't violent at all now, he just acts like someone with Alzheimer's induced brain damage
>>130046260He is retarded.
>>130047697This one is great. Part 2 is also pretty good for completely different reasons its just a shame the music in part 2 is so fucking dog shit except for megadeth
you can't call yourself a /mu/tant if you haven't watch this docu
>>130047697This and its sequel did more harm to music and society in general, dumb cunt should never have picked up a camera.
>>130043292Driver 23/The Atlas Moth is a 2-part documentary released in 1999 and 2001 about the failed Minneapolis band Dark Horse, and the process behind the creation of their 2000 album 'Guts Before Glory.' Lead singer Dan Cleveland recorded and mixed the entire album in at his house while taking psychiatric drugs for severe OCD and working a day-job as a delivery driver (#23) for an office supply company.Among other issues, Cleveland got divorced during the production process, and also went bankrupt, along with the band's bass player Sean Cassidy (who died of a heart attack in 2004). Here's a track from the album for anyone curious:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kk7Os-wBRko
>>130049054elaborate
>>130043292I don't like The Red Hot Chili Peppers but A Dutch Connection is probably my favorite (if not at least a close second to Dig!)You will need to find it with English subs though.
>>130046146Yeah even if you don't like Metallica its extfremely funny and should be considered essential viewing, watching a bunch of washed up 40-something millionaire manchildren hiring a therapist because they have 0 communication skills is too kino.
>>130051668all true but>washed upwashed up implies that you can no longer attain the glory you used to have and metallica have only continued to play larger and larger arenas as they've gotten older. they've been setting attendance records at various places the past couple years. a band that is washed up would be megadeth. they used to be able to headline tours on their own but as recently as the 2020s were only the penultimate band.
Instrument is good the live performance of Shut the Door is fucking amazing
>>130045463yeah this
>>130048965I was disappointed they couldn't get a current day Jeff interview
>>130053410it was obvious though
>>130052679my favorite part is them getting interviewed for some random middle school project.
If you enjoyed Dig! and are capable of reading a book, I highly suggest checking out Jingle Jangle Jungle. Very funny and provides more context.
>>130048965>have to pay to watchNo thanks. I'd rather buy Kevin's new album.
>>130048965This was pretty good. Not amazing, but definitely worth a watch.
>>130052517Well good news, you get Dave with the band and therapist crying about the past too. Fuck, I really gotta rewatch it.
>>130048965Loved it be honestly im jusy glad this came out and made Will finish those Olivia tracks and see the love before he died. Wonder if theyll actually finish LP3.
Does this count?
>>130043557>Fuck... FUCK... FUUUUUUUUCK.>that scene with Lars and Dave in therapy on the day after 9/11>the band "therapist" passing lyric suggestions to James>Lars' dad telling him to delete the ambient opening track>the guitar shit being a little stock>James slamming the door like a baby when he's butthurt>Lars flipping out after Jason's show and calling him the future when he literally left that band 2 years later>Jason REEEing about therapy>James fleeing to Siberia to drink and hunt bears on his son’s first birthday>HE FOCKING LEFT THE BAND>Kirk fucking up the riff>FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUuuuuuuUUUCKKK
Manages to capture the totality of a scene beyond the few bands who were popular for that brief period of time.
>>130055037that scene was tough to watch. i actually really commiserated with dave. to have what you thought your best/only friends in the world just discard you like trash without a second chance...that's rough. not saying dave has problems himself but still.
>The Filth and The FuryPeople can say what they like about the Sex Pistols but most people don't really know the full story and the full story is perhaps the single most epic tale in the history of popular music>Country is fucked/dying>Music is shit>Three lads with absolutely zero life prospects form band to shag women>Ask owner of fashionable shop to manage the band>Somehow recruit one of the most unique characterful people as singer (who also had zero prospects)>Make music just for the fuck of it>Its starts an entire new music scene>It totally revolutionises music>It entirely reshapes the fabric of society>Split up within a year and a half Genuinely mental stuff and the documentary is really fucking goodhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUNAr4Uj1xM
>>130047697>>130048858The Ozzfest 99 one is the best one
>>130048965lmao look at all these numalesshan't ever be watching that. op is right Dig is the best coupled with the Oasis tour docs
>>130055512Would also recommend
>>130056278honestly shocked Dave A) let them film that and B) let them use it in the movie
>>130046146No doubt. It’s funny but also interesting to see a documentary about an aging band making a different new album that ended up sucking ass
>>130054485Wait are you serious? How the fuck is it that someone who visits this board is unable to find a free copy? Is this why the /sharethread/ generals died? Because there isn't point to it when you've literal retards frequenting this place?
>>130058356Ru isn't working, I don't use other sites for piration simple as that.
>>130060950>piration Never mind, I see your problem.
>>130058314why? i'm sure he loved being able to confront at least one of metallica in a setting like that.
>>130047697X is so cool
On a related note, who are some artists/bands/scenes that don't have a definitive documentary but really deserve one?
>>130064496My band desu.
>>130055512his follow-up to that was Scratch about turntablism, which was pretty good too, depending on which side of >not musicyou are
>>130064496it's hard to believe but there isn't a decent or at least thorough series about jazz
>>130065320Surely Ken Burns is a jazz specialist
>>130064721I've always seen the DVD but never bothered to check it out, not really my scene musically, but I'll have to check it out
>>130043292
>>130065870https://youtu.be/cBeMyMY628Q
>>130065870why the fuck did they put a theremin on the cover? that's a very niche instrument
>>130065635that series fucking sucks because Ken Burns is a traditionalist retard
>>130066934>that series fucking sucks because it does not share my exact perspective and preferences
>>130066947kys
>>130066934>free jazz and fusion each need two episodes for the most important stories of jazz history to be told!
>>130066934I've never seen it, I was just making a joke
i loved this one
67th post lol SIX SEEEVEN SIX SEEEVEN
>>130065870similarlyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GdzXKLqu19w
>>130046146It's pure fucking kino. The greatest music documentary of all time. Nothing comes close.
>>130063653Feels like a thing that should be in private, granted in humanizes what happened more and probably got his message out there a bit. Its just weird because its not the usual "oh heres Dave being butthurt about Metallica again lol" and instead "heres a deeply wounded and sad Dave bearing his trauma about Metallica" and I didnt expect to see him be that open and honest in a giant doc.
>>130047697decline has gotta be the one. It's really such a great window into that world that doesn't really exist as comprehensively elsewhere>>130069092king vincent from this soundtrack is so goodpicrel is just my favorite
>>130069404Would I like this if I hate Phish and their fans?
>>130071127You might, they intentionally showcase some of the most fried or obnoxious fans just because it's funny, so that could be entertaining. Directed by Todd Phillips so that's kind of interesting too.At the very least, it gives a better perspective on the band than what the general public tends to assume because of the scene/fans. They're really just some dorky new england goofballs and nothing like the white dreaded hacky sack patchwork hippies that follow them.Also if you're just interested in music history, they were one of the biggest touring acts of the 90s no question, this fact often seems downplayed because of how hated by the media they were, but they were a straight up cultural phenomenon in the 90s. Worth getting some exposure to that world for the sake of music culture/history if nothing else. That's the main reason I like it anyway
>>130069349>Feels like a thing that should be in privatethe entire doc should have been private so what's one more thing with dave? i'd argue it's quite public given how much metallica shit on dave in the 80s in interviews and the like
>>130048965>NmhPedo tranny music, no thanks
>>130072796Again im more surprised Dave let himself be shown that way, Metallica cleatly said fuck it show whatever but an outside party saying "yes show me sad with some corporate therapist jabroni" is outside what Ithink of with The Mustang, granted im only a surface level Megadeth fan
>>130066619That was Bob's first commercial instrument
>>130049502he can't
>>130083519What did he mean by this?
>>130078882his autobiography is really good, dunno about that movie though
>>130073461he was most likely salivating at a chance to give his perspective on arguably the biggest event in his life in a public manner that wasn't tabloid journalists dragging him through the mud
>>130043292Joel demonstrates like the importance of the tambourine player in a band sometimes
>>130066934no it sucks because of his reflexive racism narrative
>>130067221agreed, this one was awesome
>>130095518Stop
>>130097807>Michael RapaportI'm out
excellent docu on an excellent band
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xKhe0EAYrk
Sam Dunn is a huge fag and going in an Indonesian mosque with a camera is the most tryhard shit ever, but I love the rest of this movie. Getting to see how we like the same genres and bands around the world. I wish more directors did this with other music scenes. Getting to see how fans from other regions care about your genres and artists.
the sound of progress. they interviewed test dept coil c93 and jg thirlwell
Bump because why not
I liked this.Eugene from Gogol Bordello travelling around eastern europe in search of gypsy music/culture, eugene is a lovable rogue, the director is a qt woman who is madly in love with him but he's not really feeling her like that, comfy watch, pretty short
>>130120193thanks for the rec, i love this guy, the live shows are pretty fun
This is a very comprehensive six-part miniseries each episode about an hour long but is very well made and breaks down each era of the band into reasonable chunks. It's really good if you're curious about the whole Dead phenomena but also if you are a head and haven't seen it it contains some of the last filmed interviews with all the members/crew/orbiters who have pretty much all died by now except for the drummers. It came out in 2016 so I think it was filmed around 2015-15. Anyways its pretty trippy at times and sad at others but even if you hate the Dead it's interesting to watch just for the quality doc filmmaking. It explains how the whole cult around the band came to grow and grow and what it was like back in those boomer fantasy days
>>130043292As a fan I was pissed it took this long for Sparks to get a doc made about them. I was initially weary going in because of Edgar Wright directing but he actually nailed it it terms of keeping it interesting and matching the bands aesthetic. Highly recommend especially if you haven't heard of them before
>>130120976Best recent music doc

>>130043292More relevant than ever...
>>130043557The only good thing about St. Anger desu.
>>130132030gay
>>130043292the twice kpop documentary
>>130129425it's a bot posting these
>>130043292I'd like to present "5 Days: A Zenumentary". Pretty good coverage of an event that was part of the American rave scene in the mid-late 90s. Helps to serve as a reminder of how much variety there was in electronic dance music in that era...electro-influenced funky breaks were as big in the American scene as house or trance. Also ignore the first 5 minutes of the promoter pretending to be retarded.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdamxnGL6Co
>>130137372Better Living Through Circuitry approaches the same scene from a different angle, way more random interviews of different artists.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOAkdhgQrsQ
>>130043292God Said Give 'Em Drum Machines covers some of the same ground as High Tech Soul, except unlike HTS, this one is actually good. Less random opining on the scene, and more hard history and coverage of internal conflict. It's good enough that I wish it was longer and made room to include more Detroit Techno artists.
>>130137604Being a Detroiter I feel obligated to watch this.
>>130043292This is a solid choice as well.
>>130043292Probably one of the more fun music documentaries I've seen. An upbeat story about how the Incredible Bongo Band came to be, and the legacy that they seem to be pretty proud of.
>>130137473this one is good, haven't seen the other
>>130137604saw Juan Atkins at Motor once. fun times, excellent sound system
>>130140045I have two friends that worked at Motor, they bring it up kinda frequently
>>130045463Do hipsters still bully the mentally handicapped under the guise of "outsider music" or was that mostly a 90s thing?
>>130146539The mentally handicapped have moved on to rap
>>130048858>the music in part 2 is so fucking dog shit except for megadethDave pls...
step aside plebs
>>130156598ode to a feminist - nah
>>130152123>White men badnahI wonder when we'll get documentaries about the violence at Freakniks. Never.

>>130169646Cry about it honkie
>>130171702Only one crying here is you
Those execs were trying to market their shit band to Japan no wonder they don't take the wests music seriously
>>130043557>no warning? No second chanceutter kino. To this day I dont know whjy Mustaine accepted to be humilliated worldwide on this doc by crying like a little bitch and admiting that metallica was better. And that he wished he was as succesful as them.
yes it's actually a documentary
Bump simply because this is still going
>>130197789ugh
Urgh! A Music War
>>130043557i'm gonna be honest and say that i kind of respect them for releasing this and that it's still on netflix and readily available. any other band would've memoryholed the fuck out of such a cringefest
>>130207120>unsung heroinesi bet all my money and possessions that this documentary was made by a retarded woman because Clara Rockmore, Laurie Anderson, Pauline Oliveros and Wendy Carlos are established and respected artists even to people who are not even into that type of music
>>130204397it's pretty good, but more of a concert film.
>>130047982>well the next song is about love, well its called "Love">proceeds to beat the living shit out of his rhytm guitaristBased retard
>>130221840YOU FUCKING BROKE MY SITAR MOTHER FUCKER
the latest one I have watched, on Amazon Prime Video.>In 2006 CBGB, the most famous rock club in the world, closed its doors forever. Everybody associated it with bands such as Blondie, The Ramones and The Talking Heads, but no one remembers that what made it legendary were the hardcore matinées in the 80s.>Walter Schreifels, of several influential NYC hardcore punk bands, tells us a story not only about some kids and their music but of New York and its changes, too.pretty good, but not exceptionally good. worth watching if you like that particular scene, others might find it not that interesting.
>>130204354Is this actually good? Does it get into post-60s Nico?
>>130046146As other anons said, yes. It's like the perfect example on how not to present your band that it almost seems like a big joke.>supposed to be a making-of for their new album>instead because a document of the band falling apart>Newstead leaves>group therapy sessions with a certified quack>Lars and James being giant manchildren>Mustaine drilling Lars for kicking him out>eventually moves into covering the new album>the album is pure shit
>>130055072CFH and Vulgar Videos are shorter and more fun. 3 is kind of hard to watch knowing some of it was shot when Phil was strung out on heroin.
Not the most earth shattering doc, but it was nice seeing some insight on pre-Peart Rush, and how Neil coped with losing his first wife and daughter. Also that kino footage of Alex arguing with his folks about his future as a musician.
>>130234194I still don't know why Kobe Bryant was in this
