迈尔斯•戴维斯的专辑《即兴精酿》仅仅凭借开篇的短短几秒钟，就从流行文化所造就的一切消费体验中脱颖而出，散发出独特的不祥气息。《即兴精酿》是在商业化音乐的音调、节拍、复奏等等套路的大环境下完成的伟大的抽象作品，也是录音时代开启以来最为与众不同的几份宝贵档案之一。这一专辑无论对于爵士乐还是摇滚乐的影响都可以说是翻天覆地的，正如毕加索的《亚维农少女》和斯特拉文斯基的《春之祭》，都是“砰”地一声给旧时代盖上棺材板并在美学与技术层面上打开了全新空间的神作——有着灵歌味和节奏感的先锋音乐，可以让人随之起舞的具体音乐，它用摇滚的方式摆脱了传统爵士乐的固步自封，又以爵士乐的手法似乎嘲弄了摇滚乐的固有界限；为挚爱它的人所憎恶，又为憎恶他的人所钟爱；既包罗万象，又仿佛空无一物，也总是显得比你所理解的更为丰盈。想象一枚由层层叠叠外壳包裹着的牡蛎，最闪耀的珍珠只藏身于其核心。二十五年中迈尔斯•戴维斯一个接一个地打破外壳，而《即兴精酿》正是在最后等待着他到来的那颗珍宝。

被称为代表了自由、热情和诗意的吉他，不似静止的钢琴，是流动的乐器。六弦吉他有多种弹奏的方式，再运用回声扩大器与和弦技巧，就赋予了摇滚和其它音乐完全不同的声音，因此成为了一个世代的象征。1930年开始的电吉他早在摇滚乐前就出现，在蓝调音乐先是扮演了重要的角色，之后在乡村摇滚乐中被灵活地运用，然后终于在摇滚乐中跃升为最重要的代表性乐器之一。 本集中主要记录了许多摇滚乐中吉他手的先驱如查克贝瑞、齐柏林飞船合唱团的吉米佩吉和无名英雄詹姆斯波顿等人与吉他的历史渊源。山塔那谈到玩音乐时的不断咒骂、弹奏着《爆发》的范海伦忘我的神情、摇摆唱着乡村摇滚《肯达基的蓝月》的猫王埃尔维斯普里斯莱的自在……都让人心醉神迷。比比金大谈吉他弹奏的技巧、布鲁斯史宾斯汀更将吉他的香味用比喻的方式陈述，透过屏幕，让人嗅到了吉他的气味。

2004 musical film directed by Joel Schumacher

In 1985, Sunset Strip in Los Angeles gave birth to what would become one of the most successful and notorious rock bands of all time: Guns N’ Roses. Axl Rose, Slash, Duff McKagan, Izzy Stradlin and Steven Adler formed a band that would change the history of rock ‘n’ roll. They produced one of the greatest debut albums of all time and went on to play to countless millions. Always uncompromising, Guns N’ Roses are an essential band in the musical lexicon. Award-winning director Jon Brewer (B.B. King: The Life Of Riley and Nat King Cole: Afraid Of The Dark) tells the story of ‘The Most Dangerous Band In The World’ and how they came from playing bars on the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles to stadiums across the world. The explosive rise of one of the most notorious bands of our times – it’s a story of sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll in excess. The film has been painstakingly compiled from a host of exclusive, never-before-heard interviews, and the early footage of Guns fan and friend Marc Canter. It is testament to the legacy of this band that the past few years have been dominated with rumours of a reunion of the original members – which is now set to take place in 2016 at Coachella festival – with more dates rumoured. This raw, insightful and compelling documentary tells the story of how it all began and what really happened behind the scenes. The film features exclusive interviews with the likes of Steven Adler – drummer, Guns N’ Roses; Marc Canter – childhood friend of Slash from Guns N’ Roses; Vicky Hamilton – former manager of Guns N’ Roses; Saul Hudson (aka Slash) – lead guitarist of Guns N’ Roses; Mario Maglieri – owner of The Rainbow and Whiskey A Go Go; Michael Monroe – lead singer of Hanoi Rocks; Matt Sorum – drummer of Guns N’ Roses; Tom Zutaut – A&R Executive who discovered and signed Guns N’ Roses. It also features exclusive live footage from Marc Canter– the man who documented the early days of Guns N’ Roses.
