Recommended Posts

The Rolling Stones' controversial documentary 'C***sucker Blues' has been leaked online.

The rockers commissioned the film to be shot during their 1972 tour, but they placed a ban on the content because it included various rock and roll antics, including footage of them taking drugs, they decided fans shouldn't see.

The band placed a court order on the film, insisting it could only be legally screened when the director of the movie, photographer Robert Frank, was present.

But the shocking documentary was posted on FlavorWire.com's blog on Wednesday.

Guitarist Keith Richards once said about the picture, "If anyone in America saw it, we'd never be let in the country again."

Just watched 8 of the 9 sections available; as is the case often, part 1 is already down. Live footage includes Brown Sugar, Midnight Rambler, and a spot with Stevie Wonder. You'll also see Andy Warhol, Truman Capote, and Mick Jagger bored to tears in a car somewhere down south. The rock 'n' roll antics are tiresome, then sad; I guess I've seen too many of those "Behind The Music" documentaries and start to wonder who in these clips is alive, dead, or suffered as a result of their youthful foolishness/enthusiasm/both. And I really didn't need to see Keith and his girlfriend passed out being ignored by others in the room. The film is blurry, overexposed, and sound isn't synched to movement; you can shoot better on your home camera these days. The Stones should give it an appropriate rating, send it to DVD, and they'll make money on it... We already got over being shocked by the antics a long time ago.

Here is the link to the Flavorwire Blog spot.

Here is a link to the video - in 9 parts. Part 1 has already disappeared. Parts 2-9 definitely has all those things someone under 21 shouldn't see so use your discretion.
