Well, you get props for shouting out a Canadian musical legend lol.
A friend and I were very drunk at a gig once where he was supporting. He was so metal I'm afraid we spent most of the time shouting 'Holy Diver!' ÃÂ la South Park. It seemed clever at the time.
I'm bitter, I'm twisted, James Joyce is fucking my sister.
The Pistols' rather brief existence has been documented so many times and often quite well. Zero interest here.
I'm interested in it because it's Danny Boyle and because it's based on Jones' excellent book. But something tells me that the few Pistols documentaries out there already will easily best it.
So this is actors portraying the band? That rarely, if ever works for me. I'll watch a documentary about a band I don't even like but a fictionalized portrayal (even if it closely follows the truth) just doesn't interest me.

One of my favourite things is to watch documentaries about bands that I don't like, I don't know why. That one on Rush, Beyond The Lighted Stage, was fantastic. And I HATE that band.

If it's a well done documentary with a compelling story I'll watch no matter what band it is. That one on The Eagles is a good example, I don't like them much at all but it was really well done. I watched a ton of those VH1 Behind The Music ones for bands I genuinely hate but still dug the docs.
The Eagles one is a great example, 3 hours and I was riveted, despite not liking their music. I'm hit or miss on Tom Petty, but the doc that Peter Bogdanovich did on him was amazing, and that was 4 hours.

I haven't seen that Petty doc, I'll have to take a couple evenings and watch it soon. I'm hit or miss on him as well but I'd be interested in seeing how Bogdanovich handles it.
Mark, if you ever want to see a documentary on the guy who invented the country/rock sound that The Eagles later cashed in on, check out GRAM PARSONS FALLEN ANGEL. Really fascinating story of a guy whose life was riddled with tragedy.
I would definitely recommend folks to Julien Temple's FILTH & THE FURY (2000). Temple also contributed to THE GREAT ROCK AND ROLL SWINDLE (1980) which is pretty crazy but has the benefit of being made at the time - believe it or not, it actually started out as a Russ Meyer film! And, the Doc D.O.A. (1980) has some good material
