much, much better than I expected, so much so that I've been meaning to re-watch it since Phife passed

Yeah, that one is good

the ATCQ doc also has all the major people participating, the music, videos/live footage/tv clips etc. it is v well put together. It's a pretty different beast from these other lower-budget, lower-profile ones that have no reason for existing.

cool!
I will continue to mock Michael Rapaport though

perfectly reasonable

I remember the Scott Walker doc being disappointingly unremarkable and plodding, but I haven't watched it in a while.

all the "In Review" docs belong here

Youtube videos where you think you're going to hear a full album but it's somebody yammering about nothing for clicks

Soaked In Bleach? anyone see it?
― piscesx, Wednesday, 22 February 2017 17:41 (seven years ago) link
Those "In Review " ones usually have some insufferable pedantic music journalist types and the occasional cool insight. But mainly they're just excuses for these dudes to blather on and on...

I think crappy animation - or just animation in general - in documentaries should be outlawed. Nearly ruined "Gimme Danger" for me.
― Acid Hose (Capitaine Jay Vee), Wednesday, 22 February 2017 22:16 (seven years ago) link
idk why anyone would think watching a critic talk is somehow preferable to reading a critic's writing - it's not like these people are born performers
lol I haven't seen Gimme Danger (yet)
― Οὖτις, Wednesday, 22 February 2017 22:16 (seven years ago) link
Not seen Gimme Danger but this is a real bugbear of mine, especially if it's an animation of a) an album cover or b) a crap drawing Kurt Cobain did as a teenager.
― Gavin, Leeds, Wednesday, 22 February 2017 22:31 (seven years ago) link
gimme danger was pretty bad. should've just released the iggy interviews with no editing or anything bc that was the best stuff in the movie.

I had assumed that was all there was to it tbh :(

lord knows there's like no footage of those guys
Recent Chrissie Hynde one probably belongs on here. There's usually one of these on BBC4 every week.

Last week it was Springsteen, three minutes of his gormless rictus, unchanging throughout the decades, was enough for me.

I'm glad that recent book came out as it did, because that type of oral history/talking head Color Me Obsessed angle when focusing on that band....after years of "the last great rock 'n' roll band" and "..they changed my life" hyperbole...not knocking the commitment involved but, for someone who owns all the albums, I almost pretty much hate talking about the Replacements

yeah, it's a lot of fun, in a campy Unsolved Mysteries kind of way.
worst music doc i ever saw was the Nick Drake one. there are like two existing still photos of him, so it was nothing but talking heads and stock footage.
― AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Wednesday, 22 February 2017 23:36 (seven years ago) link
BBC 4's on The Stone Roses and Pulp's "Common People" are incredibly well-made. Also, I think they madean amazing one on Joe Meek.
I love Soaked in Bleavh and the animated segments from. Montage of Heck by Hisko Hulsing. An animated Young Kurt Cobain showwould be terrific

Neil Young's Muddy Track (1987) is pretty excruciating, even by his standards. He makes a reallyhomophobic remark in it that make me wince, too
― beamish13, Wednesday, 22 February 2017 23:49 (seven years ago) link
The Gene Clark one (The Byrd That Flew Alone) was a big letdown. Virtually no footage of him playing live or even being interviewed, I guess his estate didn't cooperate.
― henry s, Thursday, 23 February 2017 00:02 (seven years ago) link
agree w beamish that the Stone Roses doc was unexpectedly great
― Οὖτις, Thursday, 23 February 2017 00:26 (seven years ago) link
The Gene Clark one
Yes, that was rough. The one thing I remember most from it was that photograph from his last show. He did not look good, to put it mildly.

@anthonymiccio 2 hours agoTonight I will finally watch the Chris Gaines Behind The Music & Warren Beatty's 2010 Dick Tracy special, so I may know which is nuttier.
