I was thinking about that yesterday, but my take was that it was cool and refreshing to see people on screen who looked real and natural - both the fans and the band. I liked that aspect of the documentary a lot.

Not much I can add. Went to the Manchester screening, found it a decent combination of interesting and hilarious. Hats off to the makers for going through all that effort to get it made, and stick around to do a Q&A. Certainly brought back a lot of memories, saw myself at one gig on screen, lots of familiar faces from the present and the past.

I went tonight, felt a bit under the weather so didn't stay for the Q&A or concert footage.
Overall I enjoyed it a lot. I did though think that there was too much focus on their failure to crack America, the American tours, sales in America and a disproportionate amount of American fans interviewed. Also This is My Truth got very little recognition, and Gold Against the Soul and Know Your Enemy were barely even touched upon or discussed as albums. Also the guy who said Lifeblood was "panned critically": |

The cut I saw in 2012 was significantly different to the one I saw tonight, I enjoyed it for that.
Needed more Sean shooting. |

It was great to see the film again! On reflection I do think I enjoyed the version that was screened in 2012 better - the addition of JFPL-onwards material in this final cut was really interesting, but I think all the stuff that understandably had to be cut in order to fit that in was quite telling at times, especially in the case of the fan segments. It was nice that so many of them stayed in, and didn't get cut completely, but fairly often shortening the clips meant they lacked insight or significance. Don't get me wrong though, I loved it, I think the makers did an absolutely brilliant job considering everything from budget limitations to copyright battles. Really well done Elizabeth and co, and thankyou so much for perservering!
And while it's fair to say that Manics fans are generally quite awkward anyway, I do think the whittling down of interview clips lent a lot of what might have been seen as awkwardness. Either way, at least the fans in the film were brave enough to be filmed despite their awkwardness and lack of make-up or whatever else. Me, I was 17 and terrified and had just got home from a long day at college. Do I regret it? Not a bit.

I know. I couldn't be bothered to edit the picture, profuse apologies.
Still not exactly "critically panned." |

How many Lifeblood songs feature in this film whether live, TV footage or rehearsing?

Pretty sure you see/hear them playing '1985' and maybe 'Empty Souls'. 'Cardiff Afterlife' is used as backing music and there's a chunk where everyone bitches about 'TLORN'.

What is the narrative to the film, does it tell the history of the band from the early days throughout the years with then showing them making SATT? How does it flow?
