There are multiple moments during Oasis Knebworth 1996, the hugely entertaining documentary revisiting the Britpop legends’ most gargantuan concert, when present-day interviewees remark how lovely it was that the show occurred pre-iPhone, Facebook, etc. Yes, it is the “Not a cell phone in sight. Just people living in the moment” meme brought to life. And in this instance it’s hard to disagree. The audience was not littered with screens. There were no social media platforms overflowing with attendee gloating. Indeed, the Internet of 1996 was glitchy and unavailable to many. Ticket-purchasing involved waiting in long lines outside record stores or tying up the home phone line while waiting (impatiently) on hold.
As Oasis Knebworth 1996 vividly details, just getting to a concert like Knebworth was not easy. Even more difficult? Finding modern bands with enough popularity to headline such a location. Knebworth House was the domain of Monsters of Rock () like the Rolling Stones,...

Music at the Movies – The End of the End for Black SabbathMusic at the Movies – The End of the End for Black SabbathCineplex Events9/26/2017 10:04:00 Am
Black Sabbath (est. 1968) is done. Retired. Finished. Seriously. They mean it this time. It’s over. I mean, why else would they call this farewell tour The End?
Okay, so maybe it’s not really the end of Sabbath. Although Ozzy says that he’s done with the band, he’s said that before. And why didn’t he make a proper farewell statement at the end of the last show? Tony Iommi doesn’t want to tour anymore for health reasons, but he says he’d consider recording a new album and perhaps the odd on-off gig. Geezer? He’ll go along with whatever Ozzy and Tony say. Bill Ward wasn’t part of this farewell because he was fighting with the other three,...

Title: Oasis Definitely Maybe: The Documentary Director: Dick Carruthers In their 14-year recording career, Oasis sold more than 70 million albums worldwide and helped spawn the “BritPop” movement of the 1990s. They also became almost as famous for the frequent intense squabbling and literal fisticuffs between brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher, the primary songwriter and lead singer of the band, respectively. As part of a series of remastered reissues of the group’s first three albums, and specifically to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their debut, “Definitely Maybe,” a hour-long documentary on its creation is now seeing wider release. Directed by Dick Carruthers, “Oasis Definitely Maybe: The Documentary” charts the crafting of [ Read More ]

London -- The song remains the same, as Led Zeppelin once observed. But Zeppelin fans can visit the band's music anew thanks to a film of the rock titans' last show together in 2007.
That was the band's first full show in 27 years. Singer Robert Plant, guitarist Jimmy Page and bassist John Paul Jones got together again Friday to promote the film – but that may be as close as fans will get to a new reunion.
At a news conference, the members flatly declined to answer when asked if they were tempted to perform together as Led Zeppelin.
Plant said that even lining up onstage to answer questions – "like a bunch of soccer managers being interviewed after a match" – was not his idea of fun.
The band members have moved on, with Plant in particular finding success in other genres. He has played with musicians from Mali and won a Grammy...

The comedian has recently turned his hand to directing music videos – with spectacularly odd results. We asked him how it feels to step into a boxing ring with a robot
Shaun of the Dead, Alan Partridge, the voice of Darth Maul ... Peter Serafinowicz boasts an impressive CV. Still, being able to say "You worms are no match for the dark side" in a menacing voice doesn't necessarily mean you're qualified to direct music videos.
This hasn't deterred Serafinowicz, who took up the music video challenge when Hot Chip asked him on Twitter if he fancied directing something for them. He came up with the bonkers video for I Feel Better. Now he's directed a second video – for Alex Metric and Steve Angello's new single Open Your Eyes – a Rocky spoof in which Serafinowicz dons gloves to face a robotic opponent. Thrillingly, it's just as stupid, funny and original as his darkly comic debut.
