How Can You Mend a Broken Heart: Bee Gees documentary on HBO Max :wow:

Yesssss...loved how they got into the actual writing and recording process for many of the hits, and included the producers and engineers.

Robert Stigwood was a monster behind the scenes, too.

Seeing that made me regret not pursuing a career in music. I wanted to be an engineer and parlay that into producing

I watched this last night, it was pretty good.

Crazy how hard they fell off due to the disco backlash. Even though their 1979 album had only 1 or 2 disco songs on it.

They have a sister too. She still lives in Australia. She joined the band briefly, but for the most part she’s stayed out of the limelight and looked after their elderly parents.

I heard of the sister but have never seen her. She didn't even show up to the Bee Gees/Barry Gibb tribute a few years back.

 

[fact]

The Bee Gees and Fleetwood Mac are probably the only white bands I'm a legitimate fan of

Like breh said, I know their story, but I'll probably watch it a bit later

CSN&Y if you haven’t heard them before, they have some shyt, fr

Her name is Lesley Gibb. She has chosen to stay out of the limelight

The backlash they got always makes me feel bad for them

At least they were able to get some work as songwriters in the eighties

I don't know where rockers get off trashing disco. Rock was a washed up genre by the late seventies anyways

Great doc

Music in the 60 and 70s

Those 2 decades alone

I like how they mention that a lot of that "disco sucks!" was really just indirect shyt.

Found it interesting it only took some DJ to start shytting on this music and these dudes were black balled from that point on. I knew this history but it's like when white boys are a REALLY passionate how much they hate rap and you realize that the music isn't what they really have an issue with.

My parents always told me the disco backlash was due to racism and anti-gay CACs. And that’s where “Punk” was born from.

I've been trying to remember for weeks who on this forum put me on to them, but they're pretty dope

My initial post was stupid anyways, now that I remember all the 60s-70s white bands that I listen to semi-regularly

+rep

Wooden ships is a fukking classic song.

On the 25th anniversary, of the race riot at commiskey park, guess who decided to remake the song.



If that ain't tacky, I don't know what is
