THE MOST DANGEROUS BAND IN THE WORLD- Guns N’ Roses
BBC Documentary 2016
RELEASED IN FEBRUARY 2016, THIS DOCUMENTARY DOES NOT COVER THE BAND REUNION TOUR “NOT IN THIS LIFETIME” THAT BEGAN FROM JULY 2016.
THIS IS THE STORY OF GUNS N ROSES, BEGINNING FROM THE DAYS OF LA GUNS AND HOLLYWOOD ROSE, TAKING US THROUGH THEIR TRIUMPHS, TIFFS AND THE EVENTUAL SPLIT.
THIS FEATURE COVERS THE FAMOUS ANECDOTES THAT FANS OBVIOUSLY HAVE AN IDEA ABOUT. LIKE ROCKET QUEEN WAS BASED ON A SEX ACT BETWEEN ROSE AND ADLER’S GIRL AND WAS FILMED BY THE CREW.THE MOANS AND SIGHS THAT APPEAR IN THE SONG HAVE THEIR ORIGINS IN A LIVE COITAL ACT.
MR BROWNSTONE WAS MEANT TO CONVEY ROSE’S DISPLEASURE WITH SLASH’S, IZZY’S AND ADLER’S PROBLEMS WITH HEROIN. FROM A STAGE CONCERT, AXL MADE A POINT OF WARNING HIS DOPED-UP BAND MEMBERS THAT THIS GONNA BE THE LAST BAND TOUR UNLESS THEY PULL UPO THEIR ACTS.
STEVE ADLER WAS EVENTUALLY FIRED FOR DRUG-RELATED PROBLEMS AND HE SUED THE BAND OVER THIS.THE DOCUMENTARY HAS BEEN VERY SYMPATHETIC TO THIS FOUNDER-MEMBER WHO WAS PERHAPS FIRED A TAD TOO HASTILY.IZZY QUIT THE BAND IN 1991 BECAUSE HE WAS SIMPLY TIRED OF THE LIFESTYLE PRESSURE.SLASH QUIT IN 1996.
THE BIGGEST QUESTION THOUGH IS WHY DID SLASH AND AXXL HAVE A FALLOUT? OF COURSE, SLASH’S DRUG INDULGENCE CONTRASTED WITH AXL’S SOBERNESS SINCE 1986. AXL’S ONSTAGE TANTRUMS AND DELAYED APPEARANCES WERE NOT LIKED BY BAND MEMBERS.THEN AXL DID AN INTERVIEW WITH ROLLING STONE WHERE HE HIT OUT AGAINST HIS STAPDAD FOR CHILDHOOD ABUSE. THAT SLASH WOULD GO AND COLLABORATE WITH MJ, A NOTED CHILD ABUSER, PROBABLY CAUSED BAD BLOOD BETWEEN THE TWO STARS.
SLASH OD’D ONCE AFTER HEAVY HEROIN DOSAGE AND WAS BEATLESS AND BLUE FOR ABOUT 8 MINUTES TILL MEDICAL HELP ARRIVED. SOMEHOW, THEY REVIVED HIM BUT AXL GENUINELY BELIEVED FOR A LONG TIME THAT SLASH’S SOUL LEFT HIM THAT DAY AND SOME ALIEN HAD OCCUPIED SAUL HUDSON’S BODY.DUFF MCKEGAN MANAGED TO BRING THE TWO LEGENDS BACK TOGETHER ONSCREEN IN JULY 2016, FOR THE ‘NOT IN THIS LIFETIME’ TOUR.CAN THEY RECREATE THE OLD MAGIC?
HE DOCU.HAS SOME GREAT SONG AND VDO FOOTAGES AND IS A PLEASURE RIDE INTO THE BAND’S ILLUSTROUS HISTORY.
