THE MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR



THE ROLLING STONES'

]ROCK & ROLL CIRCUS



Reportedly kept out of circulation because **** & The Boyz wuz mad that their guest acts blew them away !!! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Fearturing Jethro Tull, Eric Clapton forced to accompany Yoko [img]graemlins/cry.gif[/img] with her "solo" and John Lennon and The Dirty Mac with Mitch Mitchell !!!

Or The Stones' rarely seen

C**KSUCKER BLUES

A film by photographer Robert Frank on the Rolling Stone's 1972 American tour. Not released by the Stones because it contained scenes of drug use and groupie orgies.

Featuring **** Jagger in a unforgettable mental lapse when Room Service asks him what type of dressing he wants on his salad and it takes him 90 seconds to respond !!! [img]graemlins/wonder.gif[/img]

And even if its not a Rock Themed Movie

O BROTHER WHERE ART THOU ? A retelling of Homer's Odyssey with some great Southern Folk and R&B Tunes !



And Bluesman Chris Thomas King as Robert uh I mean Tommy Johnson...

Aww, "Great Rock 'N' Roll Swindle" got panned.. aw well, that was basically another McClaren publicity-stunt anyways. For real Punker docs, would suggest looking for "D.O.A." (focus is 'mainly' about the first & only US tour by the SEX PISTOLS, with hilariously bad 'interviews' with Sid Vicious & Nancy Spungen), the <u>first</u> "Decline Of Western Civilization" (God forbid anyone accidentally watches "the Metal Years", BGAH!), and there was some other long forgotten title,.. a lot of it consisted of interviews with Lydon & Cook & other surviving members of SEX PISTOLS in silhouette actually crying about how McClaren used them and force-fed Sid the drugs which killed him for ratings and headlines... [img]graemlins/camera.gif[/img]

Besides the animated movie HEAVY METAL, would also suggest trying to locate a Canadian animated movie from about the same time called "ROCK~N~RULE", which has admittedly 'softer' music, but you get to hear Iggy Pop growl "Pain & Suffering" with an anthropomorphic doggirl in ******* ready for sacrifice to a demon. Those that watched old 'Night Flight' episodes from the early 80's'll remember their bootleg music vidoes!

"C*cksucker Blues" isn't worth the time spent watching it. My vote goes to "Gimme Shelter", a beautiful example of the Rolling Stones trying to repeat Woodstock on the West coast, with disasterous results, in large part to the involvement of Hells Angels. You'll get to see footage of a shooting, bands walking off stage in disgust, and a guy who was knifed to death by "security" during the concert! Golly-Gee-Whiz!!! [img]graemlins/party.gif[/img]

HEAD, 'plotless',... GASP! [img]graemlins/grrr.gif[/img]

It wasn't plotless, it was written to be nothing more than segues from one scene to another. Each segue had the potential to become a plotline, but The Monkee's were manufactured to only BE a segue.

**** fine movie though. Heard The Monkee's actually wrote and played the instruments on every song themselves for the movie. [img]wink.gif[/img]

[SouthwestRanger]

GIMME SHELTERwas regarded as the evil side of Woodstock as depicted effectively in the 1970 movie...



We see Paul Kantner of the Jefferson Airplane get pummeled offstage as he tries to prevent several **** 's Angels from beating up a fan...

We also see Ike & Tina, Gracie, and members of The Grateful Dead making tracks as if they uncannily knew something bad was going to go down...



BTW Meredith Hunter was the unfortunate Black Man murdered by the Angels... [img]graemlins/broken_heart.gif[/img]

Also here's a rarely seen flick...



Gunfights and electric guitars in the Old West?

You bet!

Zachariah gets a mail order gun, practices a little, and kills a man in the local saloon. He and his friend Matthew set out to become gunfighters, joining with the *******s, a rock band who are also (pitifully inept) stage robbers.

Having quickly outgrown that gang, Zachariah and Matthew set out to become bigtime gunslingers. Before long, they part company and a rivalry grows between them.

[TooBig aFan]

A few favs & recommendations >>> Roadie with Meatloaf & Alice Cooper,, Blondie,etc,,,,Streets of Fire Great Diane Lane is hot,,, Eddie & the Cruisers Michael Pare is remarkable in both, That'll be the Day( & prequel with Ringo Starr) with Davis Essex & the excess's of stardom, Rancho Deluxe ,,with Jeff Bridges and Harry Dean Stanton ( a good soundtrack so I qualify it here)and Fabulous Baker Boys with Bridges Bros and Michel Pfeiffer as lounge act,, Almost Famous wonderful insight into the RnR circus

[gus danger]

Yeah TBAF,
ROADIE is one [img]graemlins/film.gif[/img] not to avoid! Blondie is great in that. Meatloaf shines as the Super-Roadie with the mighty slogan, "everything works if you let it."

That'll Be The Day is another favorite of mine!

It certainly isn't a rock n roll movie, but Nashville is a great parody of country music from the 1970s.

1972. My family needed some help, my town needed a hero, and my band needed a break. So I borrowed Mom's pink Cadillac and I kidnapped Elvis Presley, and our lives were never the same again.

And featuring Elvis' co-star Tuesday Weld !

And my favourite Horror Film had a kick *** soundtrack as well !!!gulp:

Featuring

GHOST TOWN by the Specials and MELTDOWN

Best scene: When Shaun & co are surrounded by hundreds of hungry zombies and Ed gets a call on his mobile phone from a pal that wants to buy weed ! [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
