fantomas Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 The difference is the original line up has never collaborated on a written biography. No one would be able to agree on it. The Dirt was co-written by the band which makes a huge difference. An official GnR film having band involvement would never get past development stages. Too many different recollections of events and it's more likely to open old wounds than resolve them. At this point, it would literally burn the band to the ground. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. Reality is it was a very messy and ugly implosion in the mid-90's. You can't sugarcoat that, which means we will not see a movie made about it as long as Axl and his handlers are alive.

sebagn'r Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 With the amount of stories that the band has,they could make a cinematographic universe. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's morbid but we'll probably get a lot of stuff released after he dies. I very much doubt he'd be willing to show the craziest stuff or anything that puts him in a bad light. P.S. You could solve the complexity of the breakup easily, just do a substance fuelled multiple timeline for that part. Maybe, but I doubt anything they release in the future would put him (Axl) in a bad light. I think the fans would dig anything! I would!

Kwick1 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 I probably wouldn't go see a GnR movie for the same reason I usually don't see movies adopted from books I've read. Those I've seen have been disappointing. A movie simply can't live up to what my mind sees or makes me feel. The Crue movie, I wonder if it includes the huge mistake of having GnR open for them and GnR with their 3 song set blowing Crue away. 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 GNR don't have that kind of time. lol The Crue have been working on getting this movie made for years! It looks really good. Just like the book, but I doubt it's all in there at least not that explicit. lol Most of us who lived through the early years of the Crue probably know it all, but the book does tell every little detail of their lives. The guys who are playing them look pretty cool. I will have to definitely watch it when it comes on Netflix. If GNR did do a movie about their lives from the start of the band, I would definitely see it. I would just like if Axl wrote his autobiography for now. I loved Duff and Slash and Steven's books, but I think Axl's would be awesome. I would love to know what his childhood was like growing up.

Evan442 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 I like GnR’s music a lot more than a Crue (although they don’t really have that much material) but I think Motley’s story is way more interesting than Guns. ALOT more interesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RONIN Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 It will never happen because they're corporate rockers now. Way too much dirt they don't want revealed, especially Axl and Izzy. The Hell House days alone would be scandalous if they addressed it even 50% truthfully. If a movie does come out, it will be even more watered down than Duff's book which itself was an airbrushed milquetoast affair. Would make a hell of a 3 season HBO series though if it was done properly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussTCB Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 I'd watch a documentary about the Chinese years all day long. A movie? Not so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Bird Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 I think GNR's history has the potential to be turned into a movie if it's being done correctly. You can't tell the whole story... it's way to complex. Tell the story about the 5 guys how they find each other, how fucked up they were, how it was them against the world and how they almost imploded before they release Appetite. It should be a happy end movie in which nobody believes in this band until they finally succeed with AFD... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lame ass security Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 (edited) I don't know, it might work. Tarantino could direct it. The military recruits Axl and the boys to secretly infiltrate Isis. And everytime they kill a terrorist they cut his pinky finger off. They could call it Infurious Fukkurs. Mickey Rourke could play Axl. Edited February 21, 2019 by lame ass security 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamsapple Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 The only time someone ever got a film about a rock band right was Oliver Stone with The Doors. Compare that to Bohemian Rhapsody and you immediately see everything wrong with modern cinema. I don't need a stupid movie to spoonfed me some one-sided angle to a band this complex. I'd rather have a new album with new music. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The general public would just have no interest in it at all. I mean, they didn't make the Queen movie about how they got together with Adam Lambert. The recording of an album mike make a good documentary, but no one want's to see a movie about Richard Fortus auditioning for GNR, or Robin Fink in the studio.

This would actually be a good idea, and could also lend itself well to quite a few comedic moments - studio engineers running around like headless chickens trying to calm Axl down after finding Buckethead watching porn in his chicken coop - a comedy of errors. It would make a much more enjoyable film than a group of smackheads laying comatose in a "hellhouse". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhazUp Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 (edited) I don't want a GNR biopic at all, that would have the potential to turn out badly IMO. The thing with Queen and Elton is there was the glamour and spectacle of it all, where a Hollywood movie seems fitting for the type of people Freddie and Elton were/are. With GNR it would feel tacky if done in that vein, and too try-hard and cheesy if they tried to do a gritty production with it However a documentary with all members of GNR from the classic era talking about the history of the band, their downfall, a segment with Axl discussing Chinese, and up to present day events? Yes please! I would love a doc that would be similar to "Pearl Jam Twenty" Edited February 21, 2019 by WhazUp 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is NO WAY on God's green earth a movie about them is made without pissing off 1-3 of the members and re-splintering the band. 2. There is a NO WAY on God's green earth movie about them doesn't get enough shit wrong to piss off us, the hardcore fans. 3. Don't give them any more ideas that are not called "New Music." 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
