Waking Up Dead' Movie Featuring Ex-SKID ROW Drummer to be Released in U.K.

"Waking Up Dead", a film about the seedy underworld of '80s metal as seen through the eyes of SKID ROW and SAIGON KICK member Phil Varone, received its long-awaited North American DVD release on June 26 via MVD Visual. According to Varone, the DVD will be issued in the U.K. on October 29. More details will be made available soon.

Directed by Emmy Award-winning journalist Fabio Jafet and filmed over a four-year period, "Waking Up Dead" was previously described by Varone as "a great lesson on life for anyone who watches it. . . I traded everything … my family, friends and finances … all for my addictions and the world of sex, drugs and rock and roll."
