Many rock musicians and singers are known for
their technical proficiency both in the studio and on stage, but that does not
always translate into success as a main act. For a lot of these talented
musicians, the way to making a living is to be a hired gun for an established
act. They don’t get much credit or share of the spotlight, but at least they
are doing what they love. This documentary sheds some light on a few such
stories.
As a music fan, I love to hear stories about
interesting people who do just that for a living. Hired Guns provides a lot of
that. I also appreciate the fact that it gives a bit of spotlight to people who
are mostly in the shadows, doing their best to make others look good.
I loved hearing from Alice Cooper, who comes
off as very cool. The story of Liberty DeVitto, who played drums for Billy Joel
for many years, is also quite compelling.
Overall, this is a must-see documentary for
music fans out there.
