STEVIE NICKS PREPPING DOCUMENTARY FROM LATEST SESSIONS

7/2/2012


Stevie Nicks is prepping a rock documentary chronicling the making of her recent In Your Dreams solo album, which was produced by the Eurythmics' Dave Stewart. We caught up with Nicks who shed some light on what a massive undertaking it's been to get the film ready for release.

She told us that the story is literally revealed in the album's sessions: "We filmed it. And we filmed it from February to December. And it took them all year to actually edit it from 100 hours to three hours and in the last four months we've edited it down to an hour-and-a-half. Um, it's really a magical little film, because it really shows you -- it's like and old fashioned rock n' roll film about how, y'know, you go. . . My idea and Dave's idea was Led Zeppelin recording at the Grange. So we said. 'We have. . . I have a big old house, so let's record the record there' -- and that's what we did."

I would hope someone would have the marketing sense to offer not just the hour and a half version but a "deluxe" version of the whole 3 hours. Metallica released that rather loooong documentary a number of years ago about all their issues recording an entire album and then going out on the road (while various members went sober and tried to stay sober).... I'm not even a Metallica fan and I was riveted watching the whole thing.

Why they have not put people to work editing all the video etc from the Bella Donna recording sessions, which could be somehow packaged with the HBO concert video and all that is beyond me. Where is all the Rosebud footage?!? This band keeps recycling the same old crap. We at least got a [I]little[I] bit of previously unseen material in her Crystal Visions dvd package....but there's gotta be more.
