It's an alt-rock wet dream for sure, but watching the way they jam out and discuss ideas for what will eventually become the song "Mantra" feels warm, genuine and human. Homme and Reznor also represent divergent ideals. Homme is an analog guy all the way and even made the Queens of the Stone Age record Rated R at Sound City. Reznor doesn't have any retro fetishes, instead observing that digital recording is a tool like any other. It makes it easier for bad bands to make bad records, but it also enables good bands to make good records when employed tastefully. This whole conversation is enticing but brief. That said, the best moment in the entire film is when Paul McCartney talks about breakdowns. Sound city real to reel zip full#īecause he's a got-damn Beatle in a room full of punks. Because he's probably one of the most musically gifted people in the world. Because he's Paul McCartney and he's talking about breakdowns. Also, his tune with a reconstituted Nirvana, "Cut Me Some Slack," is the "Helter Skelter" sequel you didn't know you needed. The film suggests that music needs to be wrought from A) hard work and B) collaboration. ProTools makes it too easy to fix things, which means that ideas might not get as much review as they would in an analog setup. Foo Fighters and Springfield collaborate on a tune, "The Man That Never Was," and it is only through repetition that they arrive at the riffs they really want.
