PAR Movie Review: Dave Grohl's "Sound City"
By Lynn Fuston for Pro Audio Review
"The subtitle of Dave Grohl’s new movie “Sound City” could easily be “Tribute to a Console.” Grohl, Nirvana drummer and Foo Fighters’ front man, is in love with a recording console: the Neve 8028 that was installed by Sound City in Van Nuys, California in 1972. This console, the film’s centerpiece, was the movie’s catalyst along with telling the story of Sound City, a dumpy studio that became legendary in rock circles, where in 1991 Nirvana recorded their 30-million selling album “Nevermind.” This film, Grohl’s directorial debut, is a very engrossing look into the studio and is a “must see” for rock music lovers or anyone who has spent (or dreams of spending) years in the studio. If you are into rock music, anything from the past 40 years, you've heard songs recorded at Sound City. Notable artists that recorded there include Tom Petty, Fleetwood Mac, John Fogerty, Neil Young, Rick Springfield, Nirvana, Pat Benatar, Cheap Trick, Rage Against the Machine, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Guns and Roses, Foreigner, Nine Inch Nails, Johnny Cash, Barry Manilow (really?), Metallica, REO Speedwagon and dozens more. Producers and engineers that offer their take in the film include legends like Keith Olsen, Butch Vig, Rick Rubin, Jim Scott and others." More » |
