Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters (and formerly Nirvana) has released the official trailer for his Sundance Film Festival selected documentary Sound City. The documentary marks Grohl’s directorial debut and is centered around the history of the Van Nuys based “Sound City Studios” where music legends such as Neil Young, Fleetwood Mac, Tom Petty, Cheap Trick, Guns and Roses, Fear, Nirvana, Rage Against the Machine, Slipknot, Nine Inch Nails, and Metallica have recorded over the past 40 years. The idea for the film began when Grohl purchased the [legendary] custom-built Neve 8028 recording console from the Studio in 2011; the board was built in 1972 and is considered to be “the crown jewel of analog recording equipment.” It also happens to be the same board used to record Nirvana’s breakthrough album “Nevermind;” an album that remarkably changed Dave Grohl’s life forever as the drummer of Nirvana.
