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

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.

Wow! What an entertaining movie, I was glued to the screen the whole time. Quiet Riot is one of the most legendary bands of all time. They were the original pioneers that brought metal into the mainstream and hit the billboards. The film contains amazing footage of the 80's metal scene that is incredible. It shows the ups and downs of Quiet Riot from their emergence onto the scene through the revival of 80's metal. Most importantly it shows the passion of drummer Frankie Banali and his relentless pursuit of his dreams. He showed raw emotion as he discussed his career, friendships and family. The movie brings you through a wide range of emotions from laughter to sadness and really gives the audience a true behind the scenes perspective of being a rock star. Fan or not you will enjoy this masterpiece from beginning to end! Congratulations to Frankie and the band for making a well put together documentary, my respect for a truly amazing musician doubled after having the privilege of watching it.

Had a great time at the premier of "Well Now You're Here, There's No Way Back". The movie was one of the best music documentaries I have seen. It was informative, sad and funny all at the same time. I am a Quiet Riot fan from the beginning,seeing them in Hollywood at the small clubs. I learned a little about the Quiet Riot members thing's that I didn't know. But I also was very entertained. (Maybe finally Chuck will get his recognition). It had a lot of laughing out loud moments. The scene's done with hidden camera's, caught some memorable funny and heartfelt moments. I can't wait for the DVD to come out. I will definitely purchase it. I just hope it is not cut apart and made smaller.

I just finished watching this fantastic rockumentary and I'm so glad that I DVR'd it when it saw it come up on the guide the other night! The highs and lows this story takes you on make for an incredible tale of a legendary band. Part real life Spinal Tap, part real life Rock Star! This is a new title in the classic line up of great rockumentaries that gives insight into that crazy world that is 80's Heavy Metal. If you are a fan of Quiet Riot or any of the bands or songs from the decade of metal then you are sure to enjoy this movie. Thanks for the reminder of how much fun the music of the 80's was and still is. Great job by all involved on both sides of the camera lens. Rock on \m/

First of all I am NOT a Critic! To be a Critic is to be Critical of some ones work, art, music etc... I do not care what a critic has to say about anything , personally. Those are just opinions to me and everybody has one, so what... So here is my opinion of this Doc. In a nutshell, I loved it! Yes! I thought is was a perfect example of the "Never say Die" attitude that has been kinda lost today. Of course These guys could have thrown in the towel, and rightfully so, but they didn't. They could have went on with other bands or produced other music or something all together different, But They Didn't! Instead, Frankie decided that this is what I do, and want to do, and will keep Doing. I respect that! That's what I am taking away from this movie. I will not quit. When you get right down to it is a good life lesson. A life lesson that I needed to hear. So, in my opinion, see this movie! Good Music, Great Band, life lesson and a positive future outlook.

Oh, and if and when Quiet Riot comes to my town, I will be doing all I can to be there! I wish the guys all the luck in the world!
