GUNS N' ROSES (GNR) After The Destruction DVD (2014)

Everyone knows Appetite For Destruction. Fewer people talk about what happened after, the years where Guns N' Roses turned themselves inside out trying to follow it up and nearly destroyed everything in the process.

After The Destruction is a documentary that goes there, examining the post-Appetite fallout, the Use Your Illusion era excess, the lineup implosions, the years of Chinese Democracy purgatory that became their own dark mythology. It's the part of the GNR story that's messier and more interesting than the legend, a hard rock band eating itself alive in slow motion while the music industry watched. For anyone who thinks the behind-the-scenes is always more metal than the front-of-house, this one delivers.
