Are there any music movies like this?

Asked by Steve_A (5130points) February 17th, 2010

I just got done watching “It might get loud” with Jack White, Jimmy Page and The Edge.

Awesome movie I really enjoyed it, anyone know of other movies similar to it?

I just have to add I have that I have a new found respect for Jack White he is really all about his music and what he wants out of it.

He lives by a motto I wish I had the balls and guts to do.

The movie was a little late in the game for T-D and a little watered down but still respectable.

This is the stuff

The Great Rock ‘n’ Roll Swindle [The Sex Pistols]
The Beatles Anthology
Hype! [90’s grunge]
No Direction Home [Bob Dylan]
End of the Century [The Ramones]
The Decline of Western Civilization [80’s punk]

I have a collection… but those are my favorites.

My very favorite music films are Stop Making Sense (my favorite), The Last Waltz and Gimme Shelter, but those are really from a generation ago, at least from my generation, so I also googled and found this The Definitive All-Time Top 10 Rock ‘n’ Roll Documentaries List where between their top ten list and the user comments you might be able to find several films that you might like.

@Yetanotheruser -Sorry.That doesn’t make you any less right about your recommendation :)
@Cruiser -You detect nothing,Sherlock.LOL!

@lucillelucillelucille Further examination of the evidence shows with out a doubt your jealousy is beyond obvious! Sit down and listen the Acts 1, 2 and 3 of Joe’s Garage to help you overcome this futile effort of denial.
