Just saw this film (Finally!) the other night. It was excellent. I think your review is bang on. There are so many great scenes, but when Johnny is wasted and then passes out during one of the live shows, I could feel for his band. It was like watching a train wreck happening. It's amazing how they stood behind him the way the did, through all his ups and downs.
