Locke Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 I'll watch and hope for the best, but I'm guessing it will be a two-hour hate watch based on their other work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Blackstar Posted January 31, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 31, 2021 This was just what it was expected to be - no more, no less. The reenactments were worse than the ones in the "Breaking the Band" episode. Doug Goldstein changed his version for the second time about whether he was in Barcelona (when allegedly the name was signed over to Axl). He can't do that and then expect to be considered credible. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel the same way, pretty much what I expected. A few cool little tidbits, like Vicki Hamilton giving a tour of the tiny apartment they all shared. I didn't know anything about the woman from Lafayette who accompanied Axl to LA. She mentioned that they had flown out, which somewhat surprised me. But didn't Axl have fits and starts going to LA? He would go to LA for awhile then head back home. The part about the two of them going to a pizza place and Axl playing the piano for a few free slices was cool.

Maybe she went there with him at a later time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a bit off topic but I was reading some interviews relating to the Adler lawsuit recently and it was claimed there, and given Adler won, presumably true, that Goldstein presented him with a stack of papers to sign and told him that it said one thing when it said something different. So it seems he had form in regards to pulling bullshit tricks with contracts on people who were paying him to supposedly look after their interests.

Yeah, but there Steven seems to conflate the time he was put on probation with the time he was fired (after the probation period had ended), and some of the things he said about what it meant (e.g. that he lost his publishing rights) were not true. Also the band's lawyers (whom he also sued) must have been present when he signed the probation contract, but apparently he should have been represented by his own lawyer, which seems to have been one of the main reasons he won the lawsuit..

reayj2003 Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 (edited) It’s pretty bad. Terrible view point on the Chinese Democracy years. Despite GN’R not being as popular they did eventually tour the shit out of that album and Axl had moments where he was on fire. I’d also argue those tours helped him get to a place where he’s comfortable doing what he’s doing now. A lot of the current tour personnel are from the 2009-2014 years. Was Axl nearly broke? If so when. I find that hard to believe. Edited January 31, 2021 by reayj2003 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reayj2003 Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 The use of Axl describing the Halloween tree & linking that to the Use Your Illusions parties! 😂😂 what utter trash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonzalo palmese Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Just finished watching. Not cool really.. I Think they gave 90% negative look on Axl, repeating "he destroyts everything" over and over... I mean cmon... He is the only responsable over everything? What happened between 2001 and 2015, Buckethead and nothing else? Reunion over money? reunion under slash n duff saying "yeah okey we´ll do u this favor but dont be late"... Goldstein, i literally dont believe a word that guy said. really terrible... dont Liked it at all 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackstar Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Mick Wall said that about Axl being nearly broke before the reunion. I would guess it wasn't based on any other information than Pitman's lawsuit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He makes things sound interesting and is a good storyteller. Whether those stories are true is another matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocknroll41 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 The stage re-enactments are super cringe. Did they use a cover band or something? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocknroll41 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Finally finished the full thing, and I have one question: Why is Goldstein claiming that it was him who found Axl a bandana at the Ritz show and got the police escort for him for the 1989 stones gig, when in last year’s documentary (also made by Reelz) it was Niven who have claimed to have done those things? Which one of them is lying? Aside from that, the rest of this doc was cute, as long as you don’t take it too seriously lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friend sent me the application form that went out to find 3 actors for this programme, lol. (I have a passing resemblance, red hair etc.) They wanted 3 guys to play young / wilderness / current Axl. Not many speaking parts I think. Glad I didn't go for it ha.

But I have to say whoever got the bandana, it kicks ass. That long tail reminds me of a kite, like if Axl could get a good run he could fly off the stage.😄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reayj2003 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 I’m surprised they were allowed to use real footage & especially the Vegas 2001 stuff. Surely the band didn’t sign off on that? At that point of the documentary someone says Axl was struggling to sell out the House of Blues..that show sold out in minutes then they headlined Rock in Rio to what I believe is the biggest crowd any line up had played to. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
