Directed by Dave Grohl. What do Bad Religion, Barry Manilow, Cheap Trick, Johnny Cash, Nirvana, Josh Groban, Tears for Fears, Rancid, Ratt, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Santana, Foreigner, Nine Inch Nails and REO Springfield have in common? They all recorded albums at Sound City Studios. Those are just a few of the big names that rolled through the studio, an d the list is pretty long.

And it is no doubt that over time his sensitivity has emerged as his strongest trait. He cared […]
