Here is a list of some suggested viewing for all my students (and parents too!), especially if you like devling into what goes on behind the scenes of some of music's biggest guitar acts in history.  Alot of these documentaries can be found on YouTube or places like Tubi and PLEX streaming.  Eventually Prime and Netflix will catch on.

Iron Maiden - Behind The Beast

Behind the scenes of Iron Maidens 2011 Final Frontier tour and how you get a massive rock machine like Iron Maiden and squeeze it onto a Boeing 757, tour the world and put on a great show at the same time.  Highly recommended, even if you're not a fan of Maiden.

Rammstein - Behind The Scenes World Stadium Tour 2019 to 2024

Rammstein and their massive juggernaut stage show is the biggest stage show in rock history, you'll never see anything like it.  The massive logistics behind this band is incredible and it makes you wonder how they make any money given the undertaking and staffing of such as massive operation like this!  Their team is impressive. 

This is available on YouTube and its mostly in German with Sub titles but there is also English speakers as well.  The biggest issue with modern videos is the sub titles, they move WAAAAY to fast!

As The Palaces Burn - Lamb Of God Documentary

Interesting documentary of Lamb Of God before the arrest of Randy Blythe (mid tour!) on a charge of an accidental manslaughter at a previous show they played.  Highly recommended viewing!

Metallica - Some Kind Of Monster

A very dark time in the history of THE biggest metal band in history; THE band to bring heavy metal to the mainstream.

The BIG FOUR - Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax and Slayer!

Four of histories heaviest bands in one concert.  This is a must watch, the behind the scenes is brilliant!
Click here to watch on YouTube.  The sound its a bit meh but at least you get to see it

The Other F Word

A fantastic documentary on no rules punk rock and being a father!  Punk rockers becoming parents and how it affected them and their lives.  Variety Magazine called it "consistently hilarious! Raucous, eye-opening and unexpectedly wise." Another highly recommend docco;  You can view it on PLEX.
