Foo Fighters: Back And Forth [Blu-Ray]

Amazing
This documentary is amazing. I watched it when it first aired on VH1 Classic commercial free. I couldn't walk away from the TV. I was captivated; I didn't even want to go outside for a smoke. There are all kinds of information in this documentary. Lots of concert footage and personal information for the band members. It starts from the very beginning of Dave's career. I'm talking all the way back before Nirvana. All of the band members get very personal as they talk about the journey with Foo Fighters. I just loved this documentary. If you are a Foo Fighters fan I would highly recommend getting this. I have pre-ordered it and can't wait to watch it again.

Here is the synopsis from foofighters.com

FOO FIGHTERS BACK AND FORTH chronicles the 16 year history of the Foo Fighters: from the band's very first songs created as cassette demos Dave Grohl recorded during his tenure as Nirvana's drummer, through its ascent to their Grammy-winning, multi-platinum, arena and...

fantastic retrospective of Dave Grohl's career and the evolution of the Foo Fighters
Wow -- what a compelling and fun documentary! Back and Forth starts with the early career of Foo Fighters' founder Dave Grohl, including personal revelations and commentary about the death of Kurt Cobain by Grohl and others (like Nevermind producer Butch Vig). After the end of Nirvana Grohl took eight months off then recorded songs he'd written over the past few years; liking what he heard, he asked the rhythm section of recently-demised Sunny Day Real Estate to join him, and FF was off the ground. The retrospective continues chronologically through lineup changes and albums and lineup changes and tours and drama and lineup changes, with candid commentary from each of the band members (current and former) and lots of great concert footage, home videos, funny music videos and fascinating behind-the-scenes extras. The film finishes with the delightful process of recording the group's latest release, 2011's Wasting Light, which took place at Grohl's home with the band members' families...

From just the TV broadcast!
Just from seeing an obviously edited TV broadcast...I was so moved! The DVD release is 135mins. Plus I am sure bonus surprises! The Foo's are at the pinnacle now! The band is so tight and "Wasted Light" is amazing. What's even more amazing is "Back And Forth". A seemingly quiet history...no tales told...well here it is! I was amazed what Dave has been through in 16 years! That just since his release of the debut album done by Dave on his own! A genius of the 21st Century. Hell a genius period! The story behind Dave branching his demos into a full fledged band did not come without some major speed bumps. Firing band members for the greater good. Member(s) leaving, then coming back to the fold. Bring all up to date to the incredible band that Foo Fighter's are today: Taylor, Chris, Nate, Pat & Dave. Foo Fighter's forever!
