Marshall documentary on BBC4 tonight

 

[HMD]

It's toy show night so I'll have to record it.

 

[GARYXKNIFEDX]

Your priorities are all wrong

 

[HMD]

your telling me. Although i want to watch it in peace.

Whats the bets on them having the Marshall bit from the Arena heavy metal doc from 1988?

 

[HMD]

That was a bit shit. It should have been 90 - 120 min. After doing the setup of the company it should have done more of a profile on some of the key users over the years, not just the early users. Sabbath were not mentioned once and hawkwind / motorhead got fuck all coverage.

Every doc like this you always get the same 'we were doing something so unique' etc. Fuck off with your retrospective wank.

It was a bit vh1 alright.

I never associated Sabbath with Marshall. More Laney. Motorhead/Hawkwind got about as much coverage as anyone else I thought,other than maybe the Who. I was surprised there wasn't more talk about Clapton/Hendrix

 

[Space]

Yeah Sabbath is Laney all the way.

This. It felt really rushed. More people talking about the amps in less vague terms would also have improved it.
