This film has nothing new or original to say about the music industry, touring or anything related to bands. It truly does not go beyond the clichés. I really expected some insight on how things are different for musicians today, than they were in the seventies, eighties, or nineties, but nothing. The interviews are wall to wall and mostly dull. They are in it for the music, not for the fame. They are poor and struggling. They hate people who are pretentious. They want success on their own terms. They are struggling to raise families, hold down day jobs. The tour van is uncomfortable and breaks down. The record companies only care about making money.
The bands do seem talented but the filmmaker fails to demonstrate how any of them have any wow factor, or deserve to be elevated above the pack. It honestly feels like the director wanted to make a movie about his friends without considering how this could be original, thoughtful, or interesting to anyone outside of his circle. Sorry but unless you grew up in a cave, and thought that everybody who wants fame automatically gets it, this film has nothing to offer.
My recommendations: Dig, and PBS's Frontline: The Way the Music Died.
