Slash: No Guns N' Roses biopic


Recommended Posts

Slash recently told the Belfast Telegraph in an interview: “I would not like to see a Guns N’ Roses biopic. It’s really rare where you see actors portraying live musicians (well). I don’t think rock and roll translates in the movies, I don’t think they really get the gritty vibe of what it’s like.”


“That’s an easy one. When I was a little kid, my mum took me to see Night Of The Living Dead, and the scariest scene was when the daughter grabs a spade and goes after her mom, and her mom can’t accept that her daughter’s a zombie; she’s pleading with her and doesn’t realise what she’s dealing with – and she gets spaded to death. That was just a very unnerving scene for me, and it clearly stuck with me all this time.”

I can't see any actor really being able to pull off the roles.

Dream would be an uberlong documentary series, with the first part being Marc Canter's Reckless Road, the 2nd part being the UYI doc Perfect Crime, and the 3rd part being The Making of Chinese Democracy.

With a good director and writer I think a Guns N' Roses biopic would be awesome. The "early days" and the "most dangerous band in the world" period could last less than an hour. The rest could be about the break-up and Axl's downfall. Less than 3 hours and I would love it.


I don't think it'll happen, though.

The only problem is you'd show up to the theater 15-45 minutes early, and then when the movie is supposed to start they'll play another 3 hours of previews. Then when the movie does start, it shuts off half way through. That would be the most accurate GNR biopic.

LOL yeah right :rofl-lol:

Slash's concern is they would pussify it.

Axl is the one that would be upset about how he would be portrayed- a woman beating, tantrum throwing, insecure, bigoted little psycho more than likely.

I disagree about Slash's public rationale. He has convinced the world that he was the innocent little hard-working victim and it was all Axl's fault. He doesn't want fans to see the truth which directly conflicts with the image he's portrayed of himself ever since then. Of course he's got a canned and bullshit answer to tell the pres, but that ain't the real reason.

Since when have movie makers been interested in showing "the truth"?

A Guns biopic would be cringe-worthy. Just seeing actors try to portray them would be too weird.

Any GNR biopic would look cheesy as hell. Honestly, the best recreation we have are those cartoons on Youtube.

What about the recreation currently touring South America?

The guy playing Duff is pretty good.
