Ozzy Osbourne, Slash, Lemmy, Alice Cooper Featured In "Sunset Strip" Documentary


Slash, Ozzy Osbourne and members of RATT are among the celebrities who were interviewed for the documentary "Sunset Strip", Hans Fjellestad's chronicle of the history of the fabled mile and half stretch of Sunset Boulevard in Southern California that counts Matt Sorum (Velvet Revolver, Guns N' Roses) and Donovan Leitch (Camp Freddy) among its producers. The film will make its debut on Friday at the South By Southwest festival in Austin, Texas.
Written and directed by Hans Fjellestad, the film features interviews with Johnny Depp, Keanu Reeves, Mickey Rourke, Ozzy Osbourne, Courtney Love, Sharon Stone, Pamela Des Barres, Alice Cooper, Hugh Hefner, Perry Farrell, Peter Fonda, Sofia Coppola, Tom Arnold, Slash, Richard Lewis, Paul Mooney, Dita Von Teese, Paris Hilton, Lou Adler, Tommy Lee, Billy Corgan, and Lemmy, along with historians, authors, former mobsters, kids who call it their playground, and families who call it home… all come together to take us way beyond a rock doc and down the rabbit hole into a fascinating world called Sunset Strip. 

Birthed as a dusty trading route at the turn of last century, Sunset Strip became the world's center of gravity for music, glamour, fashion, sex, and decadence. This curvy, mile-and-a-half strip of road falls just outside L.A. city limits, beyond the reach of LAPD, where it grew into a place like no other on the planet. A place where dreams are started, chased, loved, hated, displayed, ignored, ended, or all of the above. You make your last stand in Eden, and this is Eden.
