Much of it is made up…
But it gives a good account of the band’s highs and lows.
Really influential industry people are omitted, the band met under different circumstances, so some of it is just made up but like with Walk The Line, The Doors or Bohemian Rhapsody, it tells a coherent, dramatic and often funny story.
It’s a pretty great retelling of an origin story of a great rock act, none of these music biopics tell the whole story.
Read the books if you want more ‘true’ stuff but even then I doubt it’s all on the level.
The Dirt was a very good movie.
