My Review-
I have never really listen to bands like these, only once in awhile but I have heard of some of the big name ones but never this one, and this documentary should me who they were and after over 30 years they were still doing what they loved. These two guys are the only members left of the original band from the 80s and have been friends since they were 14, so to see them still together like this and still playing music they love is pretty damn amazing, even if some people have forgotten who they were. To see them going through their ups and downs for the past 30 years and them trying to get another record deal shows dedication, because at the end of the film Slash from Guns N Roses says "how many bands can you name that are still together after 30 years?" and for Slash its not really that many. Now if I had listen to this music right now or sometime in the last few years I would know, but now I would like to start listening or trying out this type of music since I am trying to widen my music library to different types of music or musicians. If you have never heard of this band then watch this documentary so you can learn who they are and the passion they show in their music playing even though at times they may be at each others necks all they want to do is play music.
