Autostrade soniche

If you love Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters, then you'll love this series! If you love the history of music, within the US in particular, you'll love this series!

The Foo Fighters travel to 8 cities, learn about how the music scene started and developed there, interviewing a lot of local music legends. They end each episode by recording a song inspired by that city. Each of these 8 songs would form the Sonic Highways album...

Every episode is different but it doesn't feel disjointed, there is a flow to it which holds your attention throughout. There is nothing better than seeing the incredibly successful and talented band members STILL geeking out each time they step inside an iconic studio or play with legends like Joe Walsh. They genuinely love everything about music, and it's that joy which puts a smile on your face while watching this!

I wish more bands would do this this show has really opened my eyes to more genres of music like for example i now love trouble funk and zac brown and fugazi but before this show i wouldnt even touch that kind of music this show isnt for every one but it is essential for everyone like me and maybe you

This program is a showcase of more than just American music. This entire miniseries is a celebration of American culture and very distinct style to their music. The album itself isn't half bad either, with every song fitting the city well. Dave explores all the outlets to show the evolution and unity of out singular culture, giving us a loving tribute from a man in the business. The series has a little something for everyone, with every style represented in every city. The editing is beautiful, the cities are chosen well (though I personally would have included Atlanta, Detroit, and maybe San Francisco as well), and the songs are great. It's just a brilliant salute to our nation all around.

This series is great. I discovered it on Netflix thinking it was a film. It was a nice surprise to find it was actually a full series. I am a fan of the Foo Fighters, but, you don't need to be to enjoy the series. They visit some of the most famous cities in the USA and explore their musical histories. There are interviews with too many people to list here and every main genre is covered. The Foo Fighters record a song in each city, inspired by the history of that city and then perform it at the end of each episode. If you love music I highly recommend this.

First of all, I have to make clear I do not play an instrument, can't read music I am merely an admirer of those who can.

And this documentary explains a lot! On why musicians make choices, how they get inspired, how they get influenced. Besides that it explains a lot on how the USA evolved when it comes to music, how musical as well as political influences from different states and across borders brought us the music we love so much.

A monument on music because this documentary really gives a good insight on how harsh the world of music is decade by decade. Showing respect to all the musical streams you can hardly imagine they even existed. A must see for everyone who wants to know why we listen to what we listen and how it deserved its footprint in history.

piece of advice, grab a notepad and write down the names of the artists you have never heard of or almost forgot about.

And don't forget that every episode comes to end which explains the lyrics of the songs which resulted out of this great project from the Foo Fighters.
