what the hell was that?!  Its a bunch of still photos and 'rock and roll' words with GNR playing.  How can anyone be 'excited' about a movie that didn't show any clips?

It's more of a poster than a trailer.

It's more of a poster than a trailer.

Well, it's a documentary, not a big Hollywood production.

The interview list looks very interesting, and Duff tells a good story.

Right, show me a trailer of a documentary that looks exciting.  There are no special effects or plot twists.  It all matters if you're interested in the storyline.  And, I am.  So it works for me.

That is one of the more ridiculous things I have ever heard.  There are several entertaining documentary trailers.  Here are two of many:

If anyone can find the trailer for the 'ESPN 30 for 30: The U' please post that.  I am completely anticipating you saying how 'boring' and/or 'trashy' these trailers are.

They haven't even shot the documentary yet.  How are they suppose to show clips.

[FernandoR]

THIS is a really nice trailer, very cool to see Duff narrating his own story

Exciting? It's a documentary so it should look interresting and not exciting. Yes it matters if you're interested in the story, I am but this was a shitty "trailer".

Here's a good trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdkyLrDpaUg

Here's another: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hEojBYmR-o

Then it makes no sense to release a "trailer" in the first place.

Yes, that's a trailer. 

However, I thought he sounded hilariously cheesy when he said "You can't make this shit up" 


I'll wait to praise it until I actually get to see it, I hope it's nothing like the Shitty Lemmy doc.

For promotion - to garner interest, raise funds etc.

There will probably be more trailers, maybe one you like.

To be quite honest, I think Duff was and is the most objective and honest  person in GNR.
