♪♫ The Howlin' Wolf Story: The Secret History of Rock and Roll (Director's Cut 2003)
Howlin' Wolf is a legendary figure in blues music, with an influence
that has seeped into the pantheon of rock 'n' roll via influential
figures namechecking him, such as Keith Richards. His life story is
presented here, tracing his career back to its roots, and following his
battle against hardship as he strove to get his music across to a wider
audience. Unfortunately this only occurred posthumously, but luckily
director Don McGlynn has exhumed a welter of material from the vaults,
much of which has never previously been made public. Discover a blues
original for yourself with this fascinating, in-depth documentary.
Includes: Rare footage of Howlin' Wolf presented by the Rolling Stones on Shindig performing "How Many More Years?"First presentation of previously unknown or unavailable performance footage. Drummer Sam Lay's rare, never-before-seen home movies of stars of the Chicago Blues clubs from the early '60s. Newly discovered photos of Howlin' Wolf and his band. First filmed interview with Howlin' Wolf's family and exclusive interviews with Hubert Sumlin, Billy Boy Arnold, Marshall Chess, and many others

(Bonus repost of Dutch Radio '2 Meter Sessies' from November 1996. Little Axe recorded 'Return', 'Ride On', 'Black Diamond Train', 'Storm is Rising and 'Going Down Slow', but 'Return' and 'Black Diamond Train' weren't part of the original broadcast. The technicians were blown away by Keith LeBlanc and Doug Wimbish, 'the tightest rhythm section ever recorded' in their studio.)

Such Hawks Such Hounds (Full Documentary)
Such Hawks Such Hounds explores the music and musicians of the American hard rock underground circa 1970-2007, focusing on the psychedelic and '70s proto-metal-derived styles that have in recent years formed a rich body of unclassifiable sounds.
A great documentary film by John Srebalus about heavy music of USA. Music , interviews, live and some of the heavy metal, stoner, doom and drone legends from 1970 till now. More than one hour of great music, historic point of views, attitude and great people.
Ad Break: 'Fist Fuck'
Just fantasising what I'd like to do with those BIG red hands. Starting with whatever artwanker 'creative' came up with the idea. I then might move on to Rossi and see if the hand fits through that 'hole in the nose where all the cocaine goes'. As for Parfitt, I might just pat him on the head as he really is like that annoying shaggy haired mutt that insists upon following you home every time despite repeated shouts of 'fugoff'!
