Dave Grohl Documentary Unveils Trailer, Masters of Reality Return + More News
Dave Grohl's directorial debut, Sound City, is set to premiere at Sundance. It will follow with a theatrical bow in February of next year. The film is a doc about Sound City, the Van Nuys, Calif. recording studio. Grohl was inspired to make the film when he purchased the Neve 8028 recording console, built in 1972, from the studio. Besides that, his personal connection to Sound City began in 1991 when Nirvana recorded Nevermind there. So he has serious history with the location.
Now, about that console? Well, it was so inspiring to Grohl since it is considered to be the crown jewel of analog recording equipment and has been used to capture such artists as Neil Young, Fleetwood Mac, Tom Petty, Cheap Trick, Guns N' Roses, Fear, Nirvana, Rage Against the Machine, Slipknot, Nine Inch Nails, Metallica and more.
