Ages of Rock
Hendrix...Legend
THE BIRTH OF ROCK
Blues-based rock:
The Blues rock-The rock revolution of the 1960s seen through the life and music of Jimi Hendrix. The first doomed icon of rock, Hendrix was the mix of everything that had gone before him and all that was to come. The Birth Of Rock also explores the influence of rhythm & blues on a generation of British musicians such as The Rolling Stones, Cream and The Who, and how the song-writing of Bob Dylan and studio developments of The Beatles transformed the possibilities and ambitions of rock.

Yes the Sex Pistols...
BLANK GENERATION
Punk-
A tale of two cities, London and New York and the birth of punk.Possibly, one of the most interesting and one of my favorites. Each city created a bastard child that marked the biggest and fundamental shift in popular music since Elvis walked into Sun Studios, Memphis( But that’s another story hehe) Blank Generation unpicks the relationship between the bankrupt New York and the class and race-riven London of the mid-1970′s and explores the music of The Sex Pistols, The Clash, Ramones, Television, Patti Smith, The Damned and Buzzcocks ( I heard about them just yesterday actually, and trust me on this one, the name is far more impressing than the work).
I am an antichrist
I am an anarchist
Don’t know what I want
But I know how to get it
I wanna destroy the passerby
‘Cause I wanna be Anarchy
No dogsbody
(Anarchy in the USA, the Sex Pistols)

Yes this IS Black Sabbath in their erm...very early days...
NEVER SAY DIE
The Heavy Metal Revolution
The story of the longest surviving and certainly the loudest genre of rock, heavy metal. With no sign of disappearing, metal has been the most controversial and misunderstood of all rock genres. Emerging at the tail end of the hippy dream from the rust belt of industrial England, heavy metal would go on to secure the most loyal fan base of all. With Black Sabbath as the undisputed Godfathers, we follow their highs and lows, and, along the journey, meet Deep Purple, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden and Metallica.
You’re Children of The Damned
Your back’s against the wall
You turn into the light
You’re burning in the night
You’re Children of The Damned
Like candles watch them burn
Burning in the light
You’ll burn again tonight
You’re Children of The Damned
(Children of the Damned, Iron Maiden)

WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS
Stadium Rock
Ok so till 2 weeks back, I had no idea this term existed so don’t sweat if you have no idea what I’m talking about . We Are The Champions follows the development of some the biggest names in Rock, among them Queen, Bruce Springsteen, The Police and Dire Straits and shows how, through events such as Live Aid and the rise of MTV, rock achieved a global influence on culture and politics. Yes, I know…this is the music has the ` oh god -at-our-time-the-music-was-so-much-more- bearable…induced parent talk…but these are the classics. The film concludes in the early 90s, as U2 effectively brought the era to a close by reinventing the big rock show so completely, that fifteen years later most major rock tours are still pale facsimiles.
The more you see the less you know
The less you find out as you go
I knew much more then than I do now
I’ve seen you walk unafraid
I’ve seen you in the clothes you’ve made
Can you see the beauty inside of me?
What happened to the beauty I had inside of me?
Oh you look so beautiful tonight…tonight
In the city of blinding lights
( U2)

LIFT OF THE DIAL
Alternative Rock
The rise of alternative rock in the USA. From its early underground days where bands like Black Flag drew inspiration from the DIY ethos of punk, Left Of The Dial traces the history of the network of fans, clubs and fanzines that sustained the scene and launched the careers of bands like REM, The Pixies and Hüsker Dü. The film takes a fresh look at the explosion of the Seattle scene, culminating in the success of Nirvana’s ‘Nevermind’ and the tragic loss of Kurt Cobain, an artist whose triumph and tragedy continues to cast an inescapable shadow. (See: The death of Kurt Cobain. R.I.P.)
With the lights out its less dangerous
Here we are now
Entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now
Entertain us
A mulatto
An albino
A mosquito
My libido
Yea
Im worse at what I do best
And for this gift I feel blessed
Our little group has always been
And always will until the end
( Smells like teen Spirit, Nirvana)

The Arctic Monkeys hehehe
WHAT THE WORLD IS WAITING FOR
Indie
The story of British indie, beginning with The Smiths. The film follows The Stone Roses as the heirs to the indie crown, Suede’s dark sexuality and the media saturation of Brit-pop’s Blur v Oasis. how indie ultimately lost its once cherished intimacy and integrity in front of 250,000 fans at Oasis’s Knebworth spectacle in 1996 and how, by returning to its roots in clubs and bars (and even front rooms) with bands such as Franz Ferdinand, The Libertines and The Arctic Monkeys, indie became respectable again.
I can’t say much about it…because you see, not a huge Indie fan…and yes, I will admit taking a little help in the Indie bands haha.
Gona’ start a revolution from my bed.
cuz’ you said the brains i have went to my head… Step outside in summer times. Stand up besides the fire-place, take that look from off yer’ face, cuz’ you ain’t never gona’ break my heart and….. So Sally can wait, She know’s it’s too late, and she’s walking out by. So slide’s away, don’t look back and I heard ya’ say.
So Sally can wait, She knows it’s too late, as were walking out by.
So slide’s away, don’t look back and I heard ya’ say.
