Take Note, Generation Snowflake
THIS is how America was and needs to become again. Seriously.
shareYES!!!! We need more rock stars who get drunk and crash their car and kill people, then only spend a month a jail for it.
shareTriggered much, snowflake?
shareNot at all. Believe it or not I'm actually a fan of Motley Crue (I'm much older than you think). But there's a thin line between living like rock stars, and just being a bunch of junkie assholes. And they crossed that line many times. Even now when you listen to these guys tell their stories, they don't seem very regretful for the pain and destruction they caused the people around them. While we might still love their music and hearing the stories, I wouldn't consider them a glowing example of how people should be, even rock stars.
Speaking of triggered, it took you all of two minutes to respond to my post. And you didn't have anything intelligent, or even really coherent to add.
Whatever happened, the people who actually run the world never changed for the better. They never became sympathetic to anything or anyone.
shareRIP Razzle.
shareMost of the people around them chose to be around them. Especially the women hoping to cash in bt screwing a roc star.
shareI agree with what you're saying, but -- to the film's credit -- most of the main characters have a story arc where they learn from their mistakes to some degree and mature. For instance, Vince tries to find love via marriage and has a daughter, which changes his outlook, particularly when a certain person dies. Or what about the scene later in the film where Nikki meets someone at a restaurant and the guy says something like "Just think, this is the same table where we had a babe under it back in the day" (performing you-know-what) and Nikki pretty much rolls his eyes at the thought. He's not the same person; he's grown.
When they reunite with Vince at the bar & grille in the mid-90s they seem like mature(r) people, confessing their love for each other and acknowledging the familial nature of the band. I don't want to overstate their growth, but they definitely weren't the naïve wild punks of the early days (I'm mostly talking about Tommy and Vince, as well as Nikki to a lesser degree; Mick always seemed more mature and wiser).
Razzle was wasted and got into a car driven by someone who was wasted. End of story.
shareDoing drugs, drinking and driving, getting in the car with a drunk driver, is playing Russian roulette.
