Dave Grohl appears in a new documentary about the Sunset Marquee Hotel. If These Walls Could Rock, directed by Tyler Measom and Craig A. Williams, explores the history of the Sunset Strip hotel with archival footage, animation and interviews.
The film shows how the hotel became more than a stop on tour. Musicians wrote songs there, partied there, and made music history behind closed doors. It also follows founder George Rosenthal and his son Mark, who turned a motel into a landmark for musicians.
In the trailer, Grohl says, “God, if a bomb went off in this joint, rock radio would be f*.” Other contributors include Slash, Lzzy Hale, Roger Daltrey, Joe Elliott, Nancy Wilson, Sheryl Crow, Morrissey, Gene Simmons, Sharon Osbourne and Kelly Osbourne.
If These Walls Could Rock opens Aug. 14 at Landmark Theatres Sunset in Los Angeles. It will also debut the same day on Apple TV and Amazon. The LA screening will include a Q&A with the directors and guests.
