Dave Grohl's 'Sound City' an homage to analogWalking by Arc Light Cinemas in Hollywood on Thursday night, one might think they were looking at the red carpet for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony. Among those smiling for the cameras were Stevie Nicks, members of Garbage and the Foo Fighters, Motley Crue's Nikki Six and Rick Springfield.
They were all there for the Hollywood premiere of the documentary "Sound City," Dave Grohl's love letter to the legendary California recording studio of the same name. Even if you don't know about Sound City, you're probably very familiar with many of the legendary tracks that were recorded there: Fleetwood Mac's "Rumours," Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers' "Damn the Torpedoes" and Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" are among them. Sound City, which closed in 2011, was revered for its acoustics and for a mixing console which helped capture the unique qualities of so many performances. Grohl, in his directorial debut, set out to pay tribute to the people who ran Sound City, the performers who made made music there, and the building itself. Check out the video to hear how Grohl contacted the many stars who appear in the film, some of whom were already friends and some who were yet to be. |

your not dyfunctional...onward you go.
Good times and bum times, I've seen them all and, my dear,
I'm still here!
Gold statue sometimes,
Sometimes a kick-in-the-rear, but I'm here
Now one day you're hailed for blazing trails
Next you're nailed for fingernails
Either they cheer or they jeer, but I'm here
I've heard them say song writing, acting, producing,
What makes her think that she can? Or better yet song writing, acting, producing
What does she think, she's a man?
One day a Tony, Tuesday you're top of the Bill
So I'm here!
Wednesday you're phony, Thursday you're over the hill
But I'm here!
Now I've kept my clothes and kept me space
I've kept my nose to spite my face
Still once you say you won't
Keep your place loud and clear
Once you announce you're directing all you hear is...
Everybody says don't, everybody says don't
Everybody says don't, it isn't right!
Don't, it isn't nice!
Everybody says don't, everybody says...
Don't tell me not to live, just sit and putter,
Life's candy and the sun's a ball of butter,
Don't bring around a cloud to rain on my parade.
Don't tell me not to fly, I've simply got to, If someone takes a spill,
it's me and not you,
Who told you you're allowed to rain on my parade
I'll march my band out, I'll beat my drum,
And if I'm fanned out, your turn at bat, sir,
At least I didn't fake it, hat, sir,
I guess I didn't make it
Get ready for me love, 'cause I'm a-comin'
I simply gotta march, my heart's a-drummin'
Don't bring around a cloud to rain on my parade,
I'm gonna live and live NOW!
Get what I want, I know how!
One roll for the whole shebang!
One throw that bell will go clang,
Eye on the target and wham,
One shot, one gun shot and bam!
Hey, look at me world, here I am...
I'll march my band out, I'll beat my drum,
And if I'm fanned out, your turn at bat, sir,
At least I didn't fake it, hat, sir,
I guess I didn't make it
Get ready for me life, 'cause I'm a-comin'
I simply gotta march, my heart's a-drummin'
Nobody, no, nobody, is gonna rain on my parade!
Kath, I want to bury my dlck in you and fire off a few rounds
Good times and bum times, I've seen them all and, my dear,
I'm still here!

Rented this movie LAST NIGHT on U-Verse. AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME film! I was never a huge Nirvana fan (though I do own Nevermind) – appreciated them, but not a huge fan, but Dave comes across as an awesome, down to earth nice guy who I would love to have a beer with. LOVE Stevie Nicks (GO BUY HER LAST ALBUM!) and many of the others featured in the film. Dave should be VERY proud.
