Would you watch a documentary about these guys?

I'm not really sure what you're trying to do here. Would I watch a documentary about these guys? I don't know. So far all you've shown us is an amateur quality video of them rehearsing a song. So what? And what is "longevity/dead pan serious gibberish"? If you showed some scenes, even long and unedited, of them talking and interacting with each other, or with you - then I might have an idea about who they are and whether I'd want to see a full documentary about them. There's nothing really to comment on at this point.
 
Thanks for the response Bus... well, it looks amateurish because it's youtube. I's actually shot about 4 years ago on a xl1s. And obviously long and handheld. It would've been easier to edit together a mass of video clips and play some kitchy jingle behind it - to appeal to people... but I thought this might be funnier. Did you make it through the whole thing? They just keep going... One long clip just seemed funnier to me. And when you're following around band members (well this shot was setup), it's pretty hard to get good looking stuff. So good, your answer is no. That's what I'm looking for. If these guys aren't interesting in one long clip to people, they're not going to be interesting edited either. I have a million other projects to do, and I can throw this one away for awhile if these guys just aren't fascinating or charismatic enough... I think people just wanna watch famous people, other musicians aren't really interesting. Man, you're from Seattle too... You should know these guys. Seriously.
 
I'm cool with long, verite takes without a lot of editing. But this clip shows us nothing about the people involved (one of them is entirely off camera, I believe).

My point is that if I were watching a clip of them sitting around, shooting the sh@#, just being, I would possibly be interested because I personally love to peek in on people's lives (in a filmic sense) and just get a hit of who they might be.

The clip you're showing does not provide that, nor does it provide any context. Is this a jingle that they're riffing on (and on and on)? Is it a song that they're practicing? Are they improvising the whole thing? I don't find the clip particularly funny because I actually rather liked what they were doing musically, so to me it just seemed like a video of musicians jamming and, belive me, I've sat through too much of that in real life for it to be remotely entertaining in a one shot, one angle, set it up and just let it run piece of video.

These guys may well be interesting enough for a documentary, but it's your job to tell a story both while you're shooting (by choosing shots that reveal something about your subjects, like where are they? How many of them are there? What do their faces look like in close-up when they're really into what they're doing? What is the body language between them?) AND in the editing room.

Documentary is about story telling and story telling is a construction. It is not enough to simply let the camera run and assume that anyone will be interested.

I disagree that people only want to watch famous people. People want to watch other people navigate through life, just like themselve's. Watching a musician's process can be very interesting, whether they are famous or not. Watching a wood carver could be fascinating, but not if you just show 20 minutes (or 5) of him whittling a piece of wood.

And, lastly - why should I know these guys? Are they here in Seattle? I don't actually know everyone in Seattle, and I'm 43, so these guys may have escaped my cultural radar. But if you want to make a documentary about them that has wide appeal (and longevity), then you can't assume that anyone knows them. Even if they're Pearl Jam, a documentary would still have to place the members in a context that will orient people to the story you're about to tell them.

M'kay?
