Guns N Roses

Earlier this month it was finally confirmed that the bank accounts of original Guns N Roses members Axl Rose, Slash and Duff McKagan had all finally aligned, bringing forth the prophesised reunion. And next month you’ll be able to get a reminder of why that’s a thing people – even after everything Axl Rose has done over the years – still get excited about. BBC Four is going to premiere a new documentary about the band on 5 Feb.

‘The Most Dangerous Band In the World: The Story Of Guns N Roses’ has been directed by Jon Brewer, using new and previously unseen interviews, plus early live footage shot by friend of the band Marc Canter.

Interviewees – including Slash, drummers Steven Adler and Matt Sorum, former GNR manager Vicky Hamilton, and others who were knocking around at the time – will tell the story of how the band went from the bars of LA’s Sunset Strip to the stadiums of the world. Basically, they formed a band, wrote some songs, some people liked them, then a lot of people liked them, then they split up. But it’ll tell that story in a bit more detail. And with more swearing, I’d wager. Oh, those rock and roll types.

It’ll be on BBC Four at 10pm on 5 Feb.
