Favourite Rockumentary?

[CrashedCarDriver]

ah there are a lot of hits and misses regarding rock bands/ artists choosing to go the extra bit of public exposure by trying to crack it on the big screen, but which one out of this lot made a bigger smash hit than anyone else?

[color=royal blue]Rattle & Hum.....just bc I haven't seen any of the others......except part of spinal tap..[/color]

 

[U2Kitten]

I voted for U2 of course. But I think The Who The Kids are Alright should be on there, and the Compleat Beatles.(yes it's spelled that way on the tape I'm not dumb)

 

[Bonochick]

U2 is my fave over anything, so I had to go with them. If U2 hadn't been an option, I would have gone with DM.

 

[Basstrap]

I chose U2, but I'm slightly biased.

otherwise I probably would have chosen This Is Spinal Tap! that movie was one of the most funniest I've ever seen!!

IAN: ...uh, we feel, I mean, we feel and it seems to be facts

that, uh...the company is rather down on the cover.

Is that the case?

BOBBI: Yes.

IAN: You can give it to me straight, you know.

BOBBI: Listen umm... they don't like the cover, they don't like the cover.

IAN: Uh huh, well that is certainly straight.

BOBBI: They find it very offensive and very sexist.

IAN: Well what exactly...do you find offensive, I mean, what's offensive?

BOBBI: IAN, you put a greased naked woman...

IAN: Yes...

BOBBI: ..on all fours...

IAN: Yes.

BOBBI: ...with a dog collar around her neck...

IAN: ...with a dog collar...

BOBBI: ...and a leash...

IAN: ...and a leash...

BOBBI: ...and a man's arm extended out up to here holding on to the leash

and pushing a black glove in her face to sniff it. You don't find

that offensive, you don't find that sexist?

IAN: No I don't, this is 1982, BOBBI, come on.

BOBBI: That's right it's 1982 get out of the 60's we don't have this

mentality any more.

The Who The Kids are Alright

 

[ACROB@T]

David St. Hubbins: Here lies David St. Hubbins... and why not?

David St. Hubbins: Well, I'm sure I'd feel much worse if I weren't under such heavy sedation

Derek Smalls: It's like fire and ice, basically. I feel my role in the band is to be somewhere in the middle of that, kind of like lukewarm water

[Discussing Nigel's guitar collection.]
Nigel Tufnel: Look... still has the old tag on, never even played it
Marty DiBergi: You've never played--
Nigel Tufnel: Don't touch it!
Marty DiBergi: We'll I wasn't going to touch it, I was just pointing at it
Nigel Tufnel: Well... don't point!
Marty DiBergi: Don't point, okay. Can I look at it?
Nigel Tufnel: No...ok you've had enough of that one.....

 

[Bono's shades]

Ha ha! This is such a no-brainer. Rattle and Hum of course! I do like Spinal Tap though.
