I actually thought the 'new' music kinda detracted from the movie a bit. I mean it was cool seeing all those huge names, just that the songs weren't very good. The whole McCartney/Nirvana song made a lot more sense now. It was basically a song written and recorded out of a jam in one evenings work. Hence McCartneys bad high school poetry lyrics.

It just seemed like a bit of an advertisement tacked onto the end of a really cool story to me.
I didn't think it was totally terrible or anything I just don't think it added to the story much apart from being a good excuse for Dave Grohl to have one of his rock'n'roll fantasy camp jams again.
The "Mantra" track with Grohl, Homme and Reznor did capture my ear though.

I think Grohl wanted to demonstrate that the Neve console was going to live on. And yes, that he could continue jamming with his contemporaries and heroes and that he could do that while celebrating the memory of Sound City.
That podcast was pretty cool. I wish the interviewers wouldn't talk over each other so much trying to crack a funny for Dave though.

Well sure, in this particular interview it just seemed clumsy to me.

.....or get Reznor in Them Crooked Vultures on keys. That'd potentially be some really dark shit right there.
