Is this the first thread about this?
I love music documentaries! This is good and it is on Netflix:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=moOQXZxriKY
This one is really cool. Terry Zwigoff's documentary "Crumb" is also very fascinating.

"Anvil! The Story of Anvil" will make feel sad and happy at the same time.

Anvil one is great!
DIG! The BJM and the Dandy Warhols doco is rad too!
Theres a gnarly gg allin one knocking about to!

my homie mentioned this fela kuti doc
might be called "music is the weapon"
not sure
but fela is the shit
the stones/godard film sympathy for the devil is ripe with black panther clips/ideologies which is fuuuucking cool
definitely worth a watch
man i love some godard
-
I actually really dug the Kurt Cobain one "Soaked in bleach". I was super young when he died and never really got into Nirvana past a few songs from nevermind, but I loved that doc. He was definitely murdered.
The Jay Reatard doc made me buy a guitar.
There's a Pixies one I saw on YouTube that almost made me cry. It was made right around the first time they all got back together and toured. There's a pretty nerdy girl who is a huge Kim Deal fan and she steals the show at the end.

i like this doc a lot, but what i like most is that the guitar player will never admit that he was in the band. such a good weird line in the sand.

Hail! Hail! Rock 'n' Roll - A doc about Chuck Berry. It's mostly interviews with other musicians about how great he is.
Don't Look Back - Bob Dylan was followed by the film maker during his tour of England. Joan Baez is in there as well as Donovan. In the outtakes from the special edition there is a scene where Dylan is riding in a cab with The Beatles which is pretty wild.
End of the Century - Ramones doc which is kinda depressing because Johnny Ramone is such a dick, but it's still a good watch.
Not exactly a documentary, but 24 Hour Party People tells the story of Factory Records and it's a cool story and the movie is fucking funny as well.

damn i forgot about such hawks
that one was neat
until the light takes us - kinda soso black metal doc
i saw the pixies right when they started touring again so that doc is a must watch for me thanks jb
still funny to me their drummer is also a magician
-
"Long Strange Trip" on Amazon Prime is really well done if you're into the Grateful Dead.
Even if you're not, it's still pretty fucking fascinating.

rude boy has good clash footage and is partly documentary.

Dig!
Beware of Mr. Baker (watch this!!!!)
We Jam Econo
The Decline of Western Civilization
The Devil and Daniel Johnson
You're Gonna Miss Me (Roky Erikson)
Gimme Shelter
My Name is Albert Ayler
there's an MC5 documentary called "A True Testimonial" that's supposed to be amazing but never got released to do fighting between the makers and band members. It occasionally shows up online but disappears quickly.

Recently watched Gimme Danger, the Stooges documentary. It was ok.... nothing new if you are already a Stooges fan. Pretty underwhelming considering they're the greatest rock and roll band ever. Was hoping for some unearthed live footage but nay. Still, worth watching just because they're The motherfucking Stooges.
That led me to Looking for Johnny: The Legend of Johnny Thunders, which I ended up really enjoying. A lot of great footage of the Heartbreakers, great interviews... He really was an awesome guitarist and songwriter. Heroin is one hell of a drug.
The only gripe would be there is must've been a rights issue, because there wasn't one New York Dolls song in the whole movie (except Give Him A Great Big Kiss, which is a cover). Strangely, you hardly notice.
(i've noticed this can be a thing in music documentaries, where the cover a subject but can't use the subjects music i.e. The Gun Club, David Bowie, etc).

Thunders doc was terrific . I’ve been a big fan of him for a while . His solo acoustic stuff is amazing . Have you ever listened to “hurt me “ LP? I absolutely love his version of eve of destruction . Amazon prime has some good docs I want to see like gbv & I think they one about grant hart

No i haven't. I've never ventured past 'So Alone' but the doc definitely wanted me to check some of his other stuff out. I'll check that one out, thanks!
Yeah I was watching these on amazon prime.... I didn't know about GBV? There's a bunch I'm interested in like Mudhoney, Damned, L7, etc.

Fair warning the gbv is awesome but it’s 4 hours long after 2.5 hours I need to take a break .

Have you checked out 'All Dolled Up' yet?? It's another New York Dolls doc I stumbled across on amazon prime and it's incredible.. not really a documentary but more a tour diary. Amazing footage, tons of backstage stuff... almost hilarious how rock star these guys were considering their record didn't really sell and hardly anybody knew who they were outside of New York. David Johnasen was a smooth motherfucker.
Fucking amazing live footage, though.. powerful band and it really made me realize how shitty the production on their second album is, cause the live versions are so much ballsier.
-
the arthur kane documentary is decent as well for new york dolls though it's centered on him.

Just watched this one about kyuss abs all the desert rock music as well as some rad clips is the nude bowl .
Just finished this and loved it. I was introduced to Fu Manchu from one of the Tony Hawk games and found Queens from One Step Beyond and the extras of The End DVD. Both those bands we're some of my earliest musical obsessions and some of the few from my childhood that I still enjoy today. I've been a fan of Kyuss for a long time too, but other than the bands that came out of Kyuss, I really knew nothing about desert rock. I've got a lot of Mario Lalli to catch up on.
Overall this was great. Even if you're not into this kind of music, I think all skateboarders would appreciate this film. Above all that, as stupid as this might sound, it just makes me proud of what people have done just for the sake of enjoying themselves, their friends and their communities. I can't imagine how fucking cool that scene must've been.

might be before your time but remember when they used a fu manchu song in the transworld 4wd video?
-
yeah, that was a few years before my time. i got into skating around 2000-01.
-
glad you guys liked it , i was pleasantly surprised especially looking at the cover photo . i got into qotsa right before the 2nd lp came out rated r . I think the 1st qotsa is one of the greatest LP's . it's perfect all the way through . have you ever heard the unida ep or slo-burn ?
https://youtu.be/Qy1UmMkfPsA
https://youtu.be/rgxDPW1cCtI
they both feature john garcia who sang for kyuss.
https://youtu.be/lFp1EFE3uqI love the VH song by fu manchu

Westway To The World
The Clash. Not the deepest dive but Joe was still alive when they made it and his interviews are good, as are Mick's and Paul's. See also: Joe Strummer: The Future Is Unwritten
Ramones: End of the Century
Depressing and they hated each other. They all died after it was made. Still worth it for the high parts.
I Am Trying To Break Your Heart
One of a few Wilco documentaries. Benefits from being focused on one album.
Cocksucker Blues
Roadie sexually assaults groupie, Stones can get away with anything.

Damn... waay back in the day I paid a lot of money to get a VHS copy of this. it was super hard to find and boots were the only way to go. It's really not even all that great, not even a documentary as much as it is a tour diary. Mick Jones-era Stones are the shit so worth a watch.
-
I really dig this one
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sr_RaCM-1ug (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sr_RaCM-1ug)
and I think someone mentioned it before, The Devil and Daniel Johnston.
-
The Amy Winehouse documentary and the Oasis one that were both on Amazon are excellent, and I normally couldn't give a shit about either subject.
Bonehead and Guigsy have got to be the luckiest two morons in the UK.

I watched this purely from your comment that skateboarders would like it. You weren’t lying! 10/10 would recommend!

Watched "All in the Family" on Amazon,guess it's on showtime direct,but GG Allin's brother Merle is stuck in the glory days. It was insightful a bit into GG's past familywise,but overall sort of tragic and slow paced. Going to watch the Mentors Kings of Sleaze next

Amazon has quite a few great low budget docs...
Recently watched the Mad Marc Rude documentary. Pretty low budget and mostly just interviews with people who knew him. For those who don't know, MM Rude was a legendary punk hellraiser/amazing punk artist (he did the Misfits Earth AD album and Batallion of Saints first album). Just a ton of interesting stories about drugs, violence and raging. He was an amazing artist, though.
It includes a crazy story about how he once attacked Chevy Chase on some TV variety show... Chevy came out making fun of them and according to the interviews, Mad Marc took him down. Did some online digging and that's not exactly how it went down; looks like Chevy took em on.
around 6:50 mark

Watched the Mudhoney doc.. pretty entertaining if you like Mudhoney (which I do, a lot). Nothing too amazing.. a bunch of dudes who loved the Stooges and all got along and never OD'd; not your usual rock documentary. Interesting antidotes about Sub Pop and a stoked for a Scientists/Beasts of Bourbon mention. A little skating in it, too.
Sex Pistols 'Never Mind The Bollocks' doc.. mostly just about the recording/release of the album. Pretty interesting as it mostly focuses on music, none of the other stuff that usually accompanies other Sex Pistols doc's. Interviews with all the surviving members and there are all pretty friendly and candid and say nice things about each other, which is also different. Made me revisit how unbelievably good that album is. Fuck all that 'Sex Pistols were a boy band' shit... sure they were put together/marketed by a manager but they wrote all their own music and made one of the greatest albums, ever.

agree 100%. well, the original bassist wrote most of it but steven jones was a great guitarist. and sid vicious was just kind of a tragic character. they should have stuck with glen.

Steve Jones rips. I love this video where he goes through the riffs from Never Mind the Bollocks. It's funny because he keeps saying how he didn't know how to play, but some of those riffs are not easy at all. I gave Problems a shot a while back and could not make it sound good.
I'll have to check out that doc this weekend.

that gets brought up more than a few times... that kicking Glenn Matlock out was a mistake. If anything the documentary makes it seem like they really wanted to be a functioning band and Malcom McClaren was doing everything he could to cause a bunch of mayhem and fuck it up.
Youtube has the new Radio Birdman documentary!! Definitely worth a watch, a little long but they were a really awesome band. A lot of great photos and live footage, apparently they didn't get along too well with the other Aussie big-names in punk at the time (Saints, Boys Next Door).
Watched the Death doc on Amazon Prime. Pretty low-budget but entertaining enough, not a lot of live footage and I would've loved to hear more about the early years. I LOVE that first wave/demo-era of Death Metal when it was just a bunch of heshers in their mom's garage. Still kinda crazy how they basically got up in running in the suburban towns outside of Oakland like Antioch and Danville.

Amazon has quite a few great low budget docs...
Recently watched the Mad Marc Rude documentary. Pretty low budget and mostly just interviews with people who knew him. For those who don't know, MM Rude was a legendary punk hellraiser/amazing punk artist (he did the Misfits Earth AD album and Batallion of Saints first album). Just a ton of interesting stories about drugs, violence and raging. He was an amazing artist, though.
It includes a crazy story about how he once attacked Chevy Chase on some TV variety show... Chevy came out making fun of them and according to the interviews, Mad Marc took him down. Did some online digging and that's not exactly how it went down; looks like Chevy took em on.
around 6:50 mark

Watched the Mudhoney doc.. pretty entertaining if you like Mudhoney (which I do, a lot). Nothing too amazing.. a bunch of dudes who loved the Stooges and all got along and never OD'd; not your usual rock documentary. Interesting antidotes about Sub Pop and a stoked for a Scientists/Beasts of Bourbon mention. A little skating in it, too.
Sex Pistols 'Never Mind The Bollocks' doc.. mostly just about the recording/release of the album. Pretty interesting as it mostly focuses on music, none of the other stuff that usually accompanies other Sex Pistols doc's. Interviews with all the surviving members and there are all pretty friendly and candid and say nice things about each other, which is also different. Made me revisit how unbelievably good that album is. Fuck all that 'Sex Pistols were a boy band' shit... sure they were put together/marketed by a manager but they wrote all their own music and made one of the greatest albums, ever.

Steve Jones rips. I love this video where he goes through the riffs from Never Mind the Bollocks. It's funny because he keeps saying how he didn't know how to play, but some of those riffs are not easy at all. I gave Problems a shot a while back and could not make it sound good.
I'll have to check out that doc this weekend.
that clip was great! never seen that before. good find

I didn't know about this but I definitely need to watch this. Another thing I love about the development of early DM is that, from what I understand, Cannibal Corpse sorta operated in a vacuum in Buffalo, NY. Then that the sound is developed even more at Morrisound in Florida. Just this totally new genre of music that develops in the margins of small and medium sized places in the US that is kind of ignored for a while at home but that catches on all over the rest of the world.
I watched the HR doc Finding Joseph I on Hulu a while back and it was a crusher. It was hard to learn that he had been mentally ill for so damn long.

Edit: Duh I got my NY Cities mixed up and I couldn't just let it go.

Color Me Obsessed - The Replacements documentary
Well this doc has two serious negatives going for it... a) no interviews with any of the band members, and b) absolutely no live footage or music from the band. Regardless of that, it was still a pretty entertaining doc, especially since I've always been a marginal fan and this has me listening and liking them a lot more.
It's done with nothing but interviews and stories from lots of journalists, fans, roadies, soundguys, etc... a pretty cool mix of people like Steve Albini, Robert Christgeau and a handful of celebrities from the area like David Carr, Tom Arnold, George fucking Wendt (Norm from Cheers) and David Foley.
Definitely worth watching, especially since it's free on amazon prime. They really were an awesome band.

A Band Called Death. Watched it after discovering them from Ishod skating to "Politicians In Your Eyes" in his Chronicles part. It made me cry.
@JB Fu Manchu is one of my favorite bands. Unfortunately still haven't seen them live :( I bought a bunch of their LPs a year or two ago, and Scott Hill signed The Action Is Go before packing it

Rewatched this the other night. It was good, and it's cool to hear about music that isn't from your typical areas, but I felt like I needed a shower after some parts of it.

I used to be extremely into Nirvana, not so much anymore but "Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck" is a great documentary that held up super well.
Also, The Doors "When Your Strange" is an entertaining watch just off the top of my head

those are absolutely the best parts. when he shuts the delay off and plays three notes in a power stance overlooking a vista out his massive window - that's perfect cinema

You could whack a free vpn extension on your google chrome browser quite easily. I use one called Hola - then you can access the site as if you're in Australia or the the US or whatever non Euro nation takes your fancy.
Also, while I'm here - this is the best of the Prince documentaries - it's the closest to being official - he was supposed to actually be in it, but then pulled out last minute and had to compromise by giving them some snippets from the vault of some special studio and live moments. Since his death, all of that stuff is a lot easier to just see online, all the rehearsals and live shows that were never officially released - but back in the day this documentary was very special in some of the glimpses it shows. Also, just want to add that Sheila E. has the most beautiful speaking voice in this and I fell head over heels in love with her as a teenager while watching this. Not that I wasn't already in love with her, but yeah, her talking voice {which I obviously hadn't heard at that point} took my fantasy crush to a whole other level.

Oh sick, I love Prince, I must give that a watch!
You might want to do a quick google search about "Hola VPN Security", there was a big kerfuffle a couple of years ago when people realized Hola's security and privacy practices were less than what you'd expect from a VPN provider. I guess you get what you pay for.

the david bazan/pedro the lion doc “strange negotiations” is really exceptional. i’m an obsessive fan and loved it, but the film is mostly catered toward the uninitiated. it explores really beautifully the sacrifice musicians and artists make in the “new world” of streaming to provide for their families, but also delves deeply into bazan’s psycho-spiritual collapse and regrowth. he’s one of the greatest of all time, a pioneer in multiple genres and an all around fascinating case. the doc is on amazon prime right now and i can’t recommend it more.
also if you’re a fan, check this out. i was at this show and it felt like being let it on a private moment. it’s hands down one of the best and most moving shows i’ve ever seen. https://youtu.be/8xzCdGTCYs0

The new Velvet Underground documentary on Apple TV is A+++. I didn’t have high expectations as I know there isn’t much live footage in existence, but it’s quite possibly the best music documentary I’ve ever seen. It’s worth signing up for Apple TV just to watch it.

Watched this last night. Thank you for sharing never seen before. Forgot how much I love this band. Songs aged so well, sound better than ever. Haven't listened to any of their new material after the sinking ship album. Regardless, whenever I hear a jam off This Is A Long Drive, Crowded West, or Antarctica wow still stimulates a bunch of crazy emotions. Just based on those 3 albums, definitely top 3 favorite band of all time
