Does anyone know of any good studio documentaries?

I’m a big Metallica fan and really love a year and a half out of the life of Metallica. Are there any other similar type documentaries out there that are must see?

Download Tubi on your tv. There’s lots of documentaries on there from different bands. I just saw on the other day on Randy Rhodes that was really cool

3 part interview with Hugh Padgham.. He's the guy that came up with the big 80's gated reverb drum sound completely by accident...
I really enjoyed it if you have the time..

I can recommend some audio books that have large amounts of studio stories:

- Take it Off: Kiss Truly Unmasked
- Birth School Metallica Death Part 1
- Eruption The Eddie Van Halen Story
- Iron Madein 80-81 by Greg Prato
- Rush Across the Decades Books 1-3 by Martin Popoff
- As Above, So below - The Unofficial Yngwie Biography

There’s a part towards the end of that last Mastodon documentary, as soon as I heard the bass player say “Days in the studio are pretty….nocturnal”, I knew what they were doing, it’s fucking hilarious. When they push the bathroom door open on Brann I almost pissed myself. Just goes to show how much that Year And A Half Of vid was watched repeatedly by a lot of us.

A&M Studios

while filming video and film productions on their historic Chapman soundstage a few times as the production company i worked for was a block away, with the Crazy Girls club (inspiration for the Crue’s”Girls Girls Girls” tune) right across the street on La Brea and Sunset.
