Hey, Look At Me I'm a Friggin' Rockumentary, aren't I special?

[cujo]

Well there are lot's of Rock Operas and Rock Documentaries out there... which is the best? What has the best live performance? Which has the stupidest outtakes? Why do I keep making stupid general interest threads?

Anything counts from Spinal Tap to Quadrophenia to Hard Day's Night... so who wins it? Whose Cuisine Reigns Supreme?

My favs:

Song Remains the Same
Rattle and Hum
Spinal Tap


I also have to say that I'm a big fan of the VH1 tv series:

Behind the Music
Legends

 

[nbcrusader]

Spinal Tap


And so we say:

Tap Into America!

*chord intro thingie* it's been a hard day's night and i've been working like a dog it's been a hard day's night i should be sleeping like a log...but when i get home to you i find the things that you do will make me feel all right you know i work all day to get you money to buy you things and it's worht it just to hear you say you're gonna give me everything so why on earth should i moan cos when i get you alone you know i feel all right when i'm home everything is just right when i'm home feeling you holding me tight whoooo it's been a hard day's night...


cannot go wrong with the beatles.

side note: only the beatles could pull of a song with lyrics that cheesy and make it a great song




disclaimer--i can't really answer this question cos i can't think of really much that i've seen/heard that would qualify...i just wanted an exucuse to sit at my computer and sing to myself to see if i still knew all the words to the song above

Rattle & Hum
Spinal Tap


I'm embarrassed to say that I have tons of others to catch up on. But those two are my favorites.

<---forgot rattle and hum

 

[HeadsOnSticks]

Of course:

Meeting People Is Easy: Radiohead

I Am Trying To Break Your Heart: Wilco

 

[yertle-the-turtle]

I've only seen Rattle and Hum.

I wanted to see A Hard Day's Night (the remastered edition or whatever it was called) a couple of years back but I couldn't find time to see it.

 

[MrBrau1]

Best film I've ever seen was The Wonder Stuff "Welcome to the Cheapseats." Follows the band from England, to America, and back again.

 

[HeartlandGirl]

Rattle and Hum is tops in my book. Exit live and that version of Sunday Bloody Sunday.

I also think Madonna's Truth or Dare is good, although I'm no longer a fan of hers.

 

[adamswildhoney]

<----- has never seen Spinal tap or Hard Day's Night!!

 

[Stories for Boys]

i haven't either, kelly...

The Kids Are Alright- The Who...

Interesting documentary... lot's of drug-induced behavior. Some odd interviews, and one kick-ass performance of Won't Get Fooled Again.

--> cue knee slide Mr. Townshend!
