Customer Reviews of Waking Up Dead
awsome! chilling! crazy how drugs can take control of someone <
>great story <
>a must see for all aspiring musicians on how what NOT to do
Raw, real, and amazing.
I was a little worried this movie would glamorize drug addiction, and be somewhat pretentious, but it was just the opposite. The footage was raw, Phil is incredibly open, honest, and true. No holds barred. Really good stuff. Sad and inspiring at the same time.
Depressing look at the rock lifestyle
As a thirty-something rocker wannabe who never mustered up the nuts to follow his rock and roll dream, I feel somewhat vindicated after watching this movie. The fact that you can sell a million records, tour the world several times over, and basically make no money doing it is just mind-boggling. I guess the megastars like the Bon Jovi's and the Def Leppard's are the only ones who make the real money.

>That being said, the drug-induced downfall of Phil Varone was very sad to watch. He's just an average guy that everyone can relate to, but he became so jaded by the business side of music that he went after an escape into drugs and ultimately found addiction and pain instead. As a drummer for hire picked up by Skid Row, he got to live out his dream by touring for 4 years but made very little money doing it and spent whatever he had on cocaine. All the while his wife and two children are at home wondering what he is doing. Very sad indeed.

>Even the groupies and the sex part of it is portrayed to be empty and unsatisfying, leading to the question of why it is even worth it to go into music in the first place. Which is ultimately Varone's point, as he tells you at the end to get an education and do something else and that anyone who takes that advice will thank him later.

>What about the passion for the music itself and the love of the craft of drumming? Although Varone started out with that as the main focus, the joy of it quickly got squelched by the business side of music and seemingly never returned. Then it became all about escaping into drugs and sex.

<
>Again, a very depressing film about one man's journey. Hopefully not all rocker stories are this depressing, and maybe someday we'll get a chance to see another take of somebody else in a different light.
