Watch Quiet Riot: Well Now You're Here, There's No Way Back For Free

Great Film overall

Good concept, poorly executed.

Fresh and Exciting

A lot of fun.

I enjoy some Heavy Metal music but I am not a major fan. My Musical taste is basically everything regardless of era or region.I started watching this and was thinking another fluff piece for an entertainment group but after 20 minutes I was sucked in by the honesty of what was being said and the depth of the soul searching that was done on all the key figures. There was some shockers as well which I did not expect. I loved that they included details as to what was motivating people at the subconscious level as well.I definitely have a better idea now of what it takes and the commitment needed to achieve the level of fame they reached.

First, a standing ovation to Regina Russell for making the movie happen. According to a USC study, only 1.9 percent of the top grossing 100 films over the last two years, were directed by women. Not only did she direct this film, she wrote it and produced it, and put social media to work by raising $24K on Kickstarter. Having said that, this is a great documentary. It has all the things necessary to keep us watching: a sympathetic character, a compelling story, and of course, lots of rock stars and a great soundtrack. This film isn't just for Quiet Riot fans or lovers of heavy metal. This is a great example of the American comeback story.

You don't have to be a fan of Heavy Metal to get into the story of Quiet Riot. The movie has characteristics of some of the greatest underdog stories that have stayed with us for generations . Can you relate to when "Rocky" went the distance with" Apollo Creed "??? Well, once upon a time, the genre of Heavy Metal finally got the respect it deserved . . and it was Quiet Riot that was at the head of the class, first in line to break down the barricades. I am a musician and music lover of many genres, and if you are a survivor of Anything you fought for, believed in, and ultimately refused to give up on...then this movie is your story too.

What immediately struck me about this documentary is the brilliant manner in which filmmaker Regina Russell so accurately captured the true essence and spirit of the band before and after they achieved fame. I was lucky enough to know them before they reached super-stardom. There was nothing far fetched or embellished about this story. This is exactly how they were - the good, the bad, the excesses and the talent. It's all there and transparent as can be. I never thought it will be possible to have more respect for Frankie and his band mates, than I already did. But seeing the "behind the scene" ups and downs that recount the tragedy and triumph before, during and after the death of Kevin DuBrow was really mind-blowing. The friendship and camaraderie is deeper than any of us could have imagined. Through it all is a motivating and uplifting lesson that we can all apply to our own lives. Friendship is forever - life is short - music heals our souls - and the human spirit is capable of some amazing things especially when faced with insurmountable odds. This documentary is brilliant and authentic from start to finish! Once you see it, there's no way to forget it!
