Video: The Story of How Guns N’ Roses Broke MTV (Mini-Doc) Part 2

Part 2 of UPROXX’s 3-part mini-documentary series on the story of Guns N’ Roses recounts how A&R Rep Tom Zutaut saved “Appetite For Destruction” from an early death.

After seven months of touring the album had only sold 200,000 units, and Geffen records wanted to pull the plug. Tom decided to risk his career on a power move that got the band on MTV and changed the course of rock-n-roll history.

Look out for Part 3 coming soon.
