“In the early 1980’s there was an amazing moment when the South Bay of Los Angeles was overwhelmed by a hard rockin’ tsunami that eventually rolled up to The Strip and then all around the world. Motley, Dokken, Ratt, and Great White formed the wave that rose in The Bay and finally crested with Guns n’ Roses. The Pioneers of LA Hard Rock tells the story of how the scene formed, who formed it, and tells the history of all the bands and characters that contributed to the last great hard rock scene in LA. You should’ve been there … but if you weren’t, this documentary is as close as you can get.” – Alan Niven (former manager for Guns N Roses and Great White)
“This film certainly brought back some fond memories for me. My first time in L.A. was during the summer of ’76 with Widowmaker, and it left a lasting impression. As the decade progressed, L.A. became a Mecca for rock bands and those who loved them – it was a unique place like nowhere else on earth. The clubs, venues, music, girls, rockers, and lifestyle were all ‘alive’ with enthusiasm, we never tired of visiting L.A. during the ’70s and ’80s… and beyond. This film tells the story via those who were there, and there were some great bands and musicians around then, Eddie Van Halen and Randy Rhoads were among them. Watch, listen and learn…” – Bob Daisley (Bassist: Blizzard of Ozz, Rainbow, Black Sabbath, Gary Moore, Uriah Heep, Widowmaker)
“A richly-colored and supremely-entertaining portrait of a long-forgotten tribe of swashbuckling hard rock merchants.” – Joe Daly, TeamRock
“This film captures an era that catapulted metal into the spotlight and takes the audience on a wild ride down memory lane. After watching it I wanted to get in my time machine and experience those days for the first time. You’re hit with a potent nostalgia, a time I thought we couldn’t get back, not until I saw this film. I can’t get enough of this shit, what an amazing film to watch over and over again, well done!” – Jonas Akerlund – Video Director (Metallica, Madonna, Lady Gaga, U2, The Rolling Stones, Ozzy, Beyonce)
