Join Matt and DW for a special "Pump Up the Volume" episode of the Warner Archive Podcast, an interview with Art Tavana, author of the upcoming book "Goodbye, Guns N' Roses: The Crime, Beauty, and Amplified Chaos of America's Most Polarizing Band." More cultural deconstruction than rock bio, "Goodbye, Guns N' Roses" uses film and pop culture as the lens to re-examine the band and its place in the broader cultural landscape. And its penultimate chapter is titled "Pump Up the Volume" (now available on stunning Blu-ray Disc!) - join us to find out why!
