It's quite an interesting documentary with a rather sad development. I can see how the first half is interesting and of historic value, but the second part is not short of watching Grohl pleasuring himself. I find it very unfortunate that so many bands made so much money after recording there and nobody had the decency to help them out and keep the place running so other young people can experience Sound City. Instead, Grohl is nothing but an opportunist, who prays on Sound City's misfortune in order to get their unique console for himself. In 2011, after parting with lot's of their equipment the studio leases the space to Fairfax recordings.
