Duff McKagan Documentary Opens Friday, June 3

Opening this Friday, June 3 is It's So Easy and Other Lies. The documentary is based on the best-selling biography of the same name by Duff McKagan (Guns N' Roses, Velvet Revolver). The film is a mix of Behind the Music style commentary (with Slash, Matt Sorum, Mike McCready and Nikki Sixx among others offering up insight) and a spoken word artist performance with backing musicians.
McKagan is a likable, witty guy and his memoir that this draws from is a good read. So I had some high expectations going in. There's even plenty of archival footage to keep long time fans happy. But, sadly, it feels like there's something missing from the film…inflection, energy perhaps. There were times that I wondered how we got from one bit to the next due to some of the vagueness. A few instances made me feel like I'd left the room for a few moments and came back in the middle of a story. I suppose this would be the fault of director Christopher Duddy and I guess Keith Megna who edited it.
By the end of It's So Easy and Other Lies, I was left thinking, I probably would have really enjoyed this had I been there live. The film however, it felt long, bordering on lifeless and choppy in parts which is a great shame. This could have been a great documentary instead of just a good one. However, if you're a McKagan, Guns or rock fan, it's worth seeing.
About The FilmBased on his New York Times best-selling memoir and featuring exclusive archival footage, this authorized music documentary of Duff McKagan – founding member and bass player for Guns N’ Roses, Velvet Revolver and other bands – chronicles his meteoric rise to fame and fortune, his near-fatal struggles with alcohol and drug addiction, and his remarkable life transformation.
Me Before You Soundtrack To Be Released, June 3
Me Before You (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is set to be released on June 3, via Interscope Records, the same day as the film. I listened to this album on a rainy, foggy, mildly humid day. It was as if it was curated just for the day. I can't tell you how good the film will be but its soundtrack fit my day nearly perfectly…had to skip Jack Garratt's "Surprise Yourself". You can pick up the album HERE.
About Me Before You
Based on the critically acclaimed, best-selling novel by Jojo Moyes, who also wrote the screenplay, Me Before You stars Emilia Clarke (Game of Thrones) and Sam Claflin (The Hunger Games series), under the direction of Thea Sharrock, making her feature film directorial debut.
In Me Before You, Louisa “Lou” Clark (Clarke) is quirky and creative, but her cheery outlook is put to the test when she meets Will Traynor (Claflin), a once adventurous young man whose whole world changed dramatically in the blink of an eye. The now cynical Will has all but given up…that is until Lou determines to show him that life is worth living, and that love can take you where you never expected to go.
About Me Before You Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
The soundtrack features songs from Imagine Dragons, X Ambassadors, Ed Sheeran, The 1975, Jessie Ware, Jack Garratt, Cloves and more, including three new tracks: Jessie Ware’s “Till The End,” Imagine Dragons’ “Not Today,” and X Ambassadors’ “Unsteady” (Erich Lee Gravity Remix).
Track List
- Max Jury – “Numb”
- HOLYCHILD – “Happy With Me”
- X Ambassadors – “Unsteady” (Erich Lee Gravity Remix)
