It is so well done and it has great concert clips as studio clips. Plus some backstage moments and interviews. Watch it.

Thank you so much for posting this. I had never seen it before. So glad that I got to see this and learned so much. And no advertisement interruptions, which was a pleasant surprise.
Some Observations and comments:
Fonzy wearing the chapstick in the beginning I found to be funny, not sure why, just did.
The Austin Powers doll hanging around the 11:35 mark was cute.
I now know why Carter wears headgear. His 5 head is worse than Dave's. LOL
I had no idea that Seven was originally called Garden Hose.
I had no idea what Steve Lily-white looked like before. Seemed like a movie director.
The Leroi stuff was so sad. I knew it was an ATV accident but I didn't know the details of him going across his property to check on something and the ATV hit a ditch that was covered in grass. He apparently died from a clot when transferring to Los Angeles hospital.
Leroi was funny, though in his clips. "Why are Snoop Dog's clothes so clean? Because he uses bleaaaaytch!" LOL :leroy
The guy from Red Light Management, Bruce Flohr I think the name was kinda reminded me of Jason Sudakis from SNL fame.
I had no idea that Carter, Leroi, Fonzy and Boyd lived so close to each other growing up and that Fonzy's dad recommended him to the band.
Is Millers still in existence in Charlottesville?
I liked the #40 story. "They want me to play it, but I don't know the words!"
I wonder who leaked the Lily-white sessions if there were only 5 CDs?
Overall it kind of reminded me of the Sound City doc in some ways. Definitely worth watching.
Thanks again for posting.
