_Leviathan_ posted:Back and Forth was a great documentary. The part about William Goldsmith having to do 80-90 takes for songs, and then the band just taking off and doing it without him made me feel pretty bad for the guy. I can understand that Dave was releasing a major record, had a firm idea of the drums he wanted in his head, and knew he was the best guy to do them though. I think Goldsmith had some time issues too. As a drummer I can relate and can only imagine the blow to the ego. That bummed me out too. William Goldsmith is a loving great drummer in Sunny Day Real Estate, but I can see how he didn't fit with the band. Foo Fighters are probably my favorite "mainstream" modern rock band besides the Black Keys (who were better before they got big). Their performance at Lollapalooza 2011 was transcendent. I think Wasting Light might be their best album period (although TCatS is right up there). Just a solid band.

I just watched the Chicago episode and it was really loving cool, especially since I just moved out here. Love Steve Albini carrying Lil Bub around the studio, plus some great footage of Buddy Guy, who's my favorite bluesman. Something From Nothing was decent but nothing special. Its combination of I Should've Known and Holy Diver is amusing.

I guess nobody really cared all that much for the Nashville episode? I really don't care for country at all, classic or pop-crossover, but I'm pretty sure Florida-Georgia Line are one of the worst things I've ever heard.

Viper_3000 posted:It's an interesting take on my city. Nashville IS a songwriters town, and very much an industry driven one. Country music is a machine that keeps growing and growing, and if you don't believe me take a spin around your radio dial. In a similar vein, I found it weird that they talked to Dan Auerbach but ignored the fact that he was not a Nashville musician and that he moved down there to be a part of that history. He said like two things and then he was in the montage of faces at the end as if he were an important part of Nashville's legend.

Rageaholic Monkey posted:I feel like he maybe spent a bit too long talking about jazz musicians that tons of people know about already and that it would've been cool to show other things happening in music in New Orleans, but at least at the beginning he included Big Freedia and Juvenile in the reel of musicians from New Orleans who have impacted music at large, which another filmmaker might not have even acknowledged. Maybe it's because I just saw Eyehategod again.

Re: Sonic Highways, I wrote about some places where I think they should go next and am curious what ideas you guys have should there be a season 2.

Craig Finn doing a hybrid of this show and Insomniac would be amazing.

Cheesus posted:Is "dad rock" the same as "classic rock"? I always thought it was a slur for self-catalog-derivative music. Like an X band who might one have been good to great but is currently making music that sounds like an X cover band who has only ever listened to X. Dad rock is often just a derogatory way of referring to classic rock, but it should refer to what you're talking about. Bachman-Turner Overdrive is dad rock. Led Zeppelin are classic rock.
