Music documentaries are tricky because of 'Spinal Tap.' That movie has stood the test of time.
I'm a fan of music documentaries and I always love seeing what goes on behind the scenes. In kind of the new era of record companies and record releases and that sort of thing, there has to be way more content for the audience.
I think that with the success of, like, VH1's 'Behind The Music' and stuff like that, the fact that it's so successful, it's clear that people are interested in rock lives.
I don't really watch too many movies, but I try to watch inspirational pieces about other musicians. Musical documentaries truly inspire me.
I always loved music, and I always wanted to make a film about it, but I could never do it because of the censorship that was around.
I preferred MTV as it used to be when it was about the music - I don't like it that now they just have reality shows. Reality TV rots people's brains.
There are a handful of music docs I'd love to do, including David Bowie.
I think Behind the Music is good for people like Leif Garrett and Motley Crue.
I'm not doing any more music films!
The Nashville Network, that's all I would watch as a kid.
You see a documentary, you want to see it on Aerosmith or Jon Bon Jovi or Kiss, a band that's been established and sold millions of records and done something notable.
I like giving music-themed gifts. I've given a couple of music documentaries to boys. Especially if they don't have the same taste as me, I try to infiltrate their mind with my favourite bands.
I don't think of Storefront Hitchcock or Stop Making Sense as documentaries, I think of them more as performance films.
I'm a massive sucker for music documentaries.
The older I've gotten, the more I've gotten a little precious about music-related films as it comes to biopics. I kind of don't want to see it; I'd rather see a documentary. And this is just coming from me. I love music documentaries; I kind of don't want to see people embodying those people.
I don't like music docs, usually. There's nothing to really say. What can you say about music? Normally, you can't say too much. There are a few really good ones, but the majorities are boring, I think.
I like the rock documentaries that make it seem real. Some rock documentaries are meant to make the bands look larger than life.
I had seen some films made about the underground music world in Tehran, and most of them were short documentaries about 30 or 40 minutes long. And I always wondered why they weren't publicized more. Really, their only flaw was they were short documentaries.
