Sounds like a similar idea to the album profile's Vh1 made for bands like U2 and Metallica.

Great more unofficial releases to look forward to  ::) To be fair though, I am looking forward to Sorelle's book should it reach the shelves next year.

How about the interview with Izzy?


Edit: I received an e-mail with the following from anythinggoes:


Quote
Part 1 Izzy "i dont know i mean with gnr it was really between axl and i it was a lot of intense criticism on each other when it came to songwriting.

Half the songs i would play for him he would go 'man that fucking black sabbath, thats led zeppelin and id go 'what the fuck are you talkin about this is something completly different

we'd argue back and forth he was a real nasty critic so sometimes there was i lot of nit pickin tryin to get stuff finished. I guess in the end it came out ok. 

Part 2 we couldnt get a manager to save our life theyd come in take one look at us and leave. We met em all. I remember one guy, me and slash had just come back from tijuana, we had tequila, we had an apartment down off of sunset, we had tequila and black tar heroin which was a thing of choice back then. We were dabbling at the time, we didnt have a serious habit.

One of the guys came in to meet us and he was there 10 minutes. He must of known. I guess when you're that stoned you think nobody else knows, we're all sitting there thinkin we're cool. And alan niven came along and thank god he did he took us on.

He probably thought 'well they're a mess' but i think he'd been there himself and saw potential. He worked with up and he became the sixth silent member. He was a major factor in gettin guns n roses out of this town. This interview was phoned in on date to say when it was done. The dvd is a rehash of all the other ones especially behind the music nothing new just looks better havin the official music.

So it's not an official release. . . .more of a documentry i.e. Sex Drugs and Rock N' Roll, AXL Rose: The Prettiest Star?

its not official.

It shows alot of bootleg footage also.

And the televised shows of the 80s.

Post by: Olorin on March 04, 2006, 01:54:01 PM
Its a pile of pish!!

There is bootleg footage from various gigs but that is the only highpoint.

It is a UK made Anti-Axl Propaganda tool.

Its basically Axl is a phsycopathic monster from start to finish. They only rearranged the way in which they say it.
At one point they even zoom in on a particularly harsh looking axl pic, tint it red, have ominous music playing and continue the barrage of, did I mention already - Axl is a sick lunatic phsyco.
It is laughable, amaturish and there is one paticular smug self-rightuous english prick who delights in telling us"at the end of the day he is just not a very nice person at all".(Axl)

Cue more , axl is a disturbed lunatic child eating monster.

Everyone on the programme is english, with minimal, or for the most part, absolutely no relationships or experiences with GN'R except hearsay.

They spent about 60% of the time attacking Axl, 40% talking about music in a very superficial, amaturish fashion.

There is a few good moments, but nothing to do with the half-wits presenting it. No, the undoubted highlights are the footage from Ritz88 and Rock In Rio 2, there is also some really old footage from either the troubadour or the Roxy, cant remember which, axl has his big hair look.
These performances are spine tingling and they make this DVD into not a complete waste of money.

Oh and the Izzy interview is an audio recording!!!

He sounds as cool as ever but its not an complete interview, it is an audio recording of 2 comments he made, to some other interveiwer- noone connected with this dvd.

anybody notice the review on amazon?

What a load of rubbish. This DVD is no more than a load of nobodies in heavy metal t-shirts giving there opinion and stating the obvious in front of drum kits and guitars! AFD a Critical Review is the title yet when these nobodies run out of stuff to waffle about they start going on about the other albums, like how use your illusion should have been one album (dont think so)and then move on to long awaited release of chinese democracy, And there is no interview with Izzy its just a bad voice recording lasting 30 seconds. This DVD is painful and should be avoided at all costs.

I think I may make a GN'R documentary.  Hmm, let's call it "Guns N' Roses - Axl, Slash, Izzy, Duff, & Steven".  I'd show a bunch of old pics over and over and tell the GN'R story for the 10,000th time.  It would sell millions!

Bbest of the unofficial ones out there by far, loved the footage of Ritz. Didn't know any of the people being interviewed but they had some good points. I'd love to have seen it on tv though as a documentary instead of having to buy it.
You could say its a poor man's Behind The Music.
