Best Of 2009: Music Videos
Here's my favourite music films/DVDs of 2009
1) Flight 666: The Film
- Iron Maiden. A heartwarming documentary about a heavy metal band of 50-somethings who buy a 757 jet for their latest tour and yet still seem to have their feet on the ground.
2) Arctic Monkeys - At The Apollo
Beautifully shot gig of a band who, if not at the top of their game, are certainly on the up. Really nice blend of hits and B-sides.
3) Joe Satriani Live At The Montreux Jazz Festival
Shot in 1988 but only released recently as part of the Surfing With The Alien (Legacy Edition)
CD package. Heavy Metal guitar heroics with as much creativity and intelligence as free jazz.Friday, 7 August 2009
Loud, Louder, Loudest
Rock music documentaries seems to be the cinematic soup du jour at the moment (ain't I talkin' fancy!)
First up here's one I really enjoyed Iron Maiden: Flight 666. I was impressed by the genuine camaraderie show by the band, and the mature attitude to personal space they have, playing golf, taking their kids along on tour, sight seeing and, yes, flying 757 jets.
Here's one not on release yet but looks fascinating, It Might Get Loud. Jimmy Page, The Edge & Jack White in an aircraft hangar, talking about guitars...
And last, one that looks funny and heartbreaking at the same time, The Story Of Anvil.
I wonder if the whole thing is a laugh at Anvil's expense, rather like the awful singers always set up to fail in the early rounds of The Pop Factor's Got Talent?
