NTFLIX OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCES HIGHLY ANTICIPATED RELEASE DATE FOR GROUNDBREAKING DOCUMENTARY THAT WILL EXPLORE THE HISTORICAL RISE, TURBULENT FALL, AND UNFORGETTABLE LEGACY OF GUNS N’ ROSES, PROMISING TO DELIVER NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN FOOTAGE, RAW INTERVIEWS, AND AN INTIMATE LOOK INTO ONE OF ROCK MUSIC’S MOST ICONIC AND CONTROVERSIAL BANDS
Netflix has officially confirmed that the highly anticipated documentary chronicling the extraordinary journey of Guns N’ Roses will premiere worldwide on November 15, 2025. Titled “Paradise City: The Story of Guns N’ Roses,” the film promises an in-depth and unfiltered exploration of the band’s rise to global fame, the chaos that followed, and their enduring influence on rock music.
The project has been in development for more than two years, with the full cooperation of original band members Axl Rose, Slash, and Duff McKagan. According to Netflix, the documentary will feature never-before-seen backstage footage, rare interviews, and candid stories from those who lived through the whirlwind of the late 1980s and early 1990s when Guns N’ Roses dominated the charts and captivated millions.
Executive producers said the film would not shy away from addressing the band’s notorious struggles, including internal conflicts, substance abuse, and the highly publicized breakdown that led to their disbandment in the mid-1990s. Instead, “Paradise City” aims to present a balanced portrait — one that highlights both the magic of their musical achievements and the pain of their personal battles.
In a brief teaser released today, Slash is heard saying, “We were a family, a dysfunctional family, but a family. And like all families, sometimes it gets messy.” Axl Rose also reportedly gives one of his most candid interviews in years, reflecting on fame, regret, and the price of living life at full speed.
Fans of Guns N’ Roses have already flooded social media with excitement, with many calling this documentary a “dream come true” for rock enthusiasts who have long craved a comprehensive, honest look at the band’s history.
Netflix has confirmed that the film will be available for streaming in all major markets and will include subtitles and special bonus material, including exclusive concert performances and behind-the-scenes footage from the making of their landmark album, “Appetite for Destruction.”
With “Paradise City,” Netflix hopes to deliver not just another rock documentary, but a powerful human story of ambition, excess, loss, and redemption — told through the lens of one of the greatest rock bands in history.
