    Has anyone else been bored with FF for the last ten years?

    yes I have, lol
    No, because I don't listen to them. Hahaha!
    I would like to see this series though. I have just recently been to Nashville and New Orleans for the first time and they are bucket list places for sure, especially for the music.

    I understand Detroit is a city with a huge music history but for those saying they were surprised Boston was left off I ask why? I am not digging on Boston but honestly curious as I can't think of any specific music style or bands that came out of Boston.

    Aerosmith, Pixies, Geils, The Cars. There's a lot of good Boston bands.
    Sonic Highways season 2, perhaps.
    I wouldn't hold your breath cause the FF are touring all of 2015. I think the next set of songs they record is gonna be strictly on his Neve 8020, that Sound City recording board that he put in this home studio.

    Good read, how is the documentary??? I haven't seen it yet, worth checking out?

    Yah it's been really good. My favorite eps so far have been Chicago and Nashville. The Nashville one was really good.
    Fuck that! The DC show with the bad brains was the BEST! Haha
    Agreed, but I am definitely looking forward to Seattle and NY. I know they were limited to a certain amount of cities due to time constraints and song constraints for the album, but I am surprised Detroit and Boston did not make the list.
    did Memphis make it?
    No, they chose Nashville. The run of cities is: Chicago, DC, Nashville, Los Angeles, Austin, New Orleans, Seattle, and New York.
    I've been to six of those. all great cities. can't believe I haven't made it to Austin yet. LA will prob never happen for me. :(

    Thanks, I figured there were. I just have never heard Boston named when discussing famous music towns or being a town that launched a new sound like Chicago (blues), NOLA (jazz), Seattle (grunge), etc...

    I believe this is what the show is about. Not about what bands came out of the cities but rather the sound and inspiration for what bands came from the area. It's a very educational show and not to mention very cool. I've learned a lot about the specific cities even though I've been to: LA, NOLA, Seattle, Nashville and obviously Chicago. All great cities and each historically unique. I want to visit Austin bad! New York and DC, maybe someday but not in a hurry.

    There isn't much of a recording scene in Boston, I don't think. Most of those bands recorded outside the confines of the Hub, although J.Geils Band did record a few of their records in MA. Aerosmith only recorded the first album there. The Cars, just Shake it Up, but I love that record.

    I get it, Dave was inspired in his travels and used phrases from the episodes in the songs for each city, but I found a a majority of the songs on Sonic Highways (LA and NOLA for sure...) to be sort of, i don't know, cliched. They were certainly LOUD enough, and I cant even tell you how amazing Taylor's reaction to Joe Walsh was. It's a better tv show than a record.
