Dave Grohl isn’t just a musician. These days he is a budding documentary producer and director. Grohl started making Sound City--a music documentary  after he purchased an old recording console, a console of the type used at the old Van Nuys studio, Sound City. The focus is on that studio and its remarkable history. The list of bands that recorded at Sound City crosses genre lines and includes some of the biggest (or just BEST) acts in music history.

Check out clips below of Germs, Nirvana (etc) guitarist Pat Smear and Fear’s Lee Ving. Don't let these fool you. It isn't all about punk or post-punk rock n roll.
