Foo Fighters lead singer Dave Grohl‘s directorial debut pulls in all the biggies in this documentary about Van Nuys, CA-based Sound City. The iconic recording studio hosted pretty much every significant rock act over its 40-plus years before it was shuttered for not keeping up with the high-tech times. That list includes everyone from Tom Petty and Neil Young to Nirvana (Grohl was drummer for that band, of course, which recorded its iconic Nevermind album there), Guns N Roses, Nine Inch Nails and Metallica. Sound City just landed a spot in the Documentary Premieres section at Sundance, and there’s a soundtrack featuring new music created just for the film. With this lineup of talking head(bangers), how can that miss?

Very Cool! Joe Gottfried is smiling from somewhere basking in a bit of sunshine.
Thank you Dave Grohl for archiving this legendary studio. I just read Neil Young’s autobiography & it’s obvious that the magic from those days were the result of live recording. Digital has taken that magic away from the real rock n rollers. The kids today have no idea what they’ve missed!
I went to high school a couple blocks from Sound City and didn’t even know it was there. Wonder if the guys took lunch breaks at Tommy’s ?
There is a really cool book published a few years ago called ‘Temples of Sound’ about all the great recording studios, and what made them great. (Look up Phil Ramone and the A&R studio story, to get an idea of what this book is about.) I live in Seattle and there is this recording studio in the Ballard neighborhood called Ironwood Studio. It look like a dilapidated dump, but when you go inside you can feel its history. A lot of cool records have come out of there. I would be crushed to see the same thing happen there. There was an art to making records back in the day. A room had a sound, a computer doesn’t. Progress isn’t always progress. Sigh….
