It’s still not clear exactly what we can expect out of Dave Grohl’s upcoming ‘Sound City’ but we have a much better idea now that a trailer has been unveiled. “I decided to make a film about that feeling when you put five guys in a room, hit “record” and the hair on the back of your neck stands up,” Grohl previously told Rolling Stone. “Expect some epic jam sessions.”

In addition to the previously announced “jam sessions” with Corey Taylor, Cheap Trick, and members of RATT — it appears that ‘Sound City’ will include interviews with artists who previously recorded at the legendary studio prior to it’s closing last year. In the preview you can see interview segments with Trent Reznor, Tom Petty, Stevie Nicks, Lindsey Buckingham, Mick Fleetwood, Keith Olsen, Rick Springfield, and Krist Novoselic just to name a few.

Interscope Records' Jimmy Iovine: 
'Lana Del Rey's Voice Haunts Me the Way Stevie Nicks' Did' 

After a video segment featuring several vintage clips of Iovine working in the studio, the Interscope Geffen A&M chairman took some time to reflect on his tenure in the industry, thanking many in the room personally. He then introduced his latest signing, Lana Del Rey, who performed her breakout song, “Video Games”.

The sexy newcomer has been the subject of much controversy in recent weeks after a shaky TV debut on Saturday Night Live. But the 25-year-old beauty clearly has Iovine in her corner. He called her “an incredible girl” and told the crowd that Interscope has “a real commitment to her “ just moments after complimenting Nicks, standing nearby, for her one-of-a-kind voice. “I dare anybody to tell me that’s shit’s not amazing,” said Iovine of Del Rey’s debut album, Born to Die. “It’s left-of-center, it doesn’t sound like anything on the radio, it’s not trying to be anything to anyone…”

The Hollywood Reporter asked Iovine if was in fact comparison Del Rey to the iconic Nicks. His answer? “Lana haunts me the way that Stevie's voice haunted me and I just love her album so much,” he said. “But I can't compare anybody to Stevie Nicks because Stevie has the greatest tone of any female rock singer that I've ever heard.”
