for me i'd like to see a manic street preachers and guns"n"roses documentry.Wich bands would you like to see coverd?.
shareThe Shangri-las.
shareThe Damned. captain sensible and dave vanian are quality post punk mentals!
What's that? You just called me a bastard didn't you!
PiL's documentary would be so boring, though.
Hey, how about the Dead Kennedys? That would be an interesting, with the early controversy they caused, being condemned by conservatives and the religious right, Biafra running for mayor, the trials and the PMRC.
Of course it would probably be impossible to get both Biafra and the rest of the band to agree to be in a movie together.
I would like to see an Iggy Pop doc. (is there one?). I know a biopic movie about Iggy is being made starring Elijah Woods as Iggy. I hope it's good.

is there a documentery on Sham 69, because that would be some seriously awsome things
share"PiL's documentary would be so boring, though."
Not necessarily, a lot of interesting things happened in PiL's career. Here's a reasonably brief list:
- It could start off with John Lydon being stranded, penniless, in America by Malcolm McLaren (after he left the Pistols), rescued by Richard Branson and taken to Jamaica, where his experience with local dub-reggae bands practically planted the seed for the whole PiL idea.
- The fact that their first album was released only six months after they formed, and how much money they spent on weed as opposed to recording (that's why "Attack", "Low Life" and "Fodderstompf" are of lower sound quality than the rest).
- Jah Wobble literally setting fire to one of the band's rotating drummers.
- John Lydon writing "Death Disco" for his dying mother.
- The 1981 "Riot Show" - some footage of this would be absolutely brilliant, and it definitely exists.
- Keith Levene's parting, and the subsequent "Commercial Zone" and "This Is What You Want..." war.
If treated with the same level of humour as "The Filth And The Fury", a documentary on PiL could be very, very entertaining indeed.
Oh, and I throw my votes towards The Damned and the Misfits. Both bands have had such varied and lengthy history, they'd make fantastic documentaries (particularly the Misfits).
buzzcocks- or at least an updated dvd release of Playback.
sharei think the Kinks would be a great band to do a movie about or a have a documentary at least.
shareI think it would be cool to have a documentary on skate punk bands like NOFX, Mike V and the Rats, and The Faction.
shareTHE REPLACEMENTS
BUTTHOLE SURFERS
CRASS
basically bands that were extraordinary as people as well as for their music

The Replacements. Absolutely. It's hard to find the complete story with that band. It's either starting from the beginning and paying little attention to everything after Let It Be or ignoring that they were a band before Let It Be.
And The Smiths.
The Adicts, Dead Kennedys, Black Flag, Social Distortion.
shareBeck
Jeff Beck
The Clash
Buzzcocks
Modest Mouse
These would all be very interesting to learn more about.
I would say Joy Division, but for two things:
1.) There's not a lot of footage of the band (or at least enough for a two-hour or ninety minute treatment, but I could be wrong)
2.) They already covered a lot of that territory in "NewOrderStory" (which I recommend to any fans of JD/NO)
So my vote goes to Weezer, the Kinks, David Bowie (his entire career), Elvis Costello, Radiohead (a proper doc on the story of the band, not the world's most boring rock tour), and Gram Parsons
You know a ton of fourteen-year-old girls?
If you guys want a Joy Division documentary, watch 24 Hour Party People... It's an amazing movie about the begginings of the punk scene.

I always thought Sonic Youth was supporting act on that tour. I saw Social Distortion with Neil Young and Crazy Horse on that same tour, but I had always been under the impression that here in L.A. was the only place Social D opened the show. I know for a fact that Sonic Youth was the supporting act for the majority of the tour, but I guess if you say you saw them in Philly, Social D must have opened up more than once.
Back on topic, I'd like to see a well-funded doc on the early Los Angeles scene (1977-1982).
