Mary Anne talks to award-winning director Jon Brewer (B.B. King: The Life Of Riley and Nat King Cole: Afraid Of The Dark) about his latest documentary, 'The Most Dangerous Band In The World: The Story of Guns N' Roses'.

Guns N' Roses produced one of the greatest debut albums of all time - Appetite for Destruction sold over 30 million copies worldwide and spawned some of the most famous rock songs ever written (Welcome To The Jungle, Sweet Child O' Mine and Paradise City).

Jon Brewer joins us to talk about how one of the most successful rock bands of all time made it from playing bars on the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles to stadiums across the world, selling over 80 million records in the process!
