Separate BEATLES thread….

[drew]

……for Scanny, from drew at this special time of year…..


Halfway thru the 2nd part of this complete and total masterpiece. As a music fan this is a master class in style. Everything about music, other than the actual songs, is wrapped up in style. Part of my love of all of things Rock has been getting underneath the surface and trying to see what makes it all work.
I’ve played in bands but I’m not a musician. Reading tons of books and seeing rock-bios is ok but this is something I am enjoying on several levels.
I get it if you are sick of The Beatles at this point in life. I was for a time the same as I got for Led Zep and the Stones but I came full circle and love all these bands even more now that I “understand” them better.

So many scenes to love in this, after I’m done I can see watching it again….

I watched part one. Man, it’s just this side of complete tedium that I made it to the end and plan to move on to part two. It’s so funny to read comments from people who are loving every second. I feel like some people would watch them animating The Yellow Submarine in real time. That said, it’s shocking how many other bands there are for whom I would sit through similar tedium. If they filmed the rehearsals/making of any of The Stooges original three albums, I’d totally watch that. Same goes for way too many other bands for me to be really comfortable with it.

I am still interested in any music documentaries with historic footage, even if I don‘t like the band that much. Getting the background, the commercial side the creative process, the personalities, how the way of making music is approached is just fucking interesting and amazing. Even if they are assholes it is entertaining.
The special thing about the Beatles film, might be that we all know the songs, and there is something magic expected when the gods go to work.

PS: Without ProTools.

Oh same; I'll watch any terrible bio-pic or Behind the Music type thing on any artist if it's music-related.

Especially if it's based in the 50's or 60's. Actually, I'll watch a documentary about horse penises if it's set in those eras.
