Band Documentaries
 

I was watching Refused's DVD the other day "Refused Are F*cking Dead" and it got me really interested in bands who go through internal issues with certain members and differing ideas and such. I was hoping to get some recommendations on other documentaries about that, bands struggling to keep things together. Here's a few examples of what im looking for:

Refused Are F*cking Dead
YouTube - Refused Are ****ing Dead Part 1
Rock Bottom (upcoming TV series about this)
YouTube - Rock Bottom - Premieres Oct 7th at 11pm/10c on FUSE
Metallica's Some Kind of Monster
YouTube - Cliff Burton On Metallica Some Kind Of Monster

there's no movie for it but 'get in the van' by henry rollins about his days in black flag is a fantastic read.

All the parts there? I'm watching this tonight!

Anyone ever seen Heavy Metal Parking Lot? It doesn't exactly fit with what the OP is talking about because it only focuses on the fans but it's a really interesting movie. Basically all it is is a bunch of interviews with people tailgating in a stadium parking lot before a Judas Priest/Dokken show in 1986. Needless to say the mullets and whatnot are a riot but there's something about the interviews with teenage metalheads who are now nearly middle-aged that's really interesting.

Radioheads "Meeting People Is Easy"

Watched it and the live footage was brilliant, though i have to admit the bits where the band members were acting out looking all serious and in despair was VERY cheesy.

When did this come out?

a little after the release of ok computer, really great stuff in here, lots of early drafts of songs that would show up later, lots of backstage tour stuff.

WTF really? I've had it on my Netflix waiting list forever.

There should be a doc for it. That's for sure.

You might like Wilco's "I Am Trying To Break Your Heart".

Heima a documentary about Sigur Ros

Spinal Tap FTW.

Band documentaries/books regarding/books written about/books written by bands are lame-ass. All they do is talk about how many women sucked them off and how many drugs they did. They always come off sounding like they have a hard on for themselves.

Heh. You should totally watch the Buena Vista Social Club documentary.

Not docu's, but...

Obviously leading upto Morrison's death.

I saw the Doors and it basically validated everything I thought about Morrison in the first place. I like Val Kilmer though, and he was perfect for the role.

For years I had a Rolling Stone cover poster with Val Kilmer on it, promoting the Doors movie... for years I thought it was Jim Morrison. That makeup artist got paiiiiid.

you want dysfunctional bands? watch DIG, and witness the complete and total meltdown of Anton Newcombe and The Brian Jonestown Massacre

DiG! (2004)

+2 for the Wilco film and loud QUIET loud. And that show you mentioned even looks like it'd be what you want.
