An amazing and inspiring story !!! .......2005-09-27

This is an incredible story equalled by few similar documentaries about rock stars. If you are a fan you MUST see this. Chuck went from the height of worldwide fame and success, to the depths of delusion, despair and almost death. Truly an amazing and inspiring story. If you like this DVD, read Chuck's book, "Three Dog Nightmare", which is astounding. The book takes you through TDN's beginnings through the evolution of groupies, drugs abuse, drug dealers attempts at murder, self abuse....it is a compelling, and often times a disturbing story. If you are a TDN fan, this DVD and the book are enough to keep you thoroughly immersed for days. Even if you are not a TDN fan, the portrayal of the "psychology" (so to speak) of a herion addict is sickening, sad, captivating and an awakening in and of itself. p.s. when you see this DVD and/or read the book, you will come to realize that there can be no doubt that Chuck Negron was the essence of TDN.

He's Still In My Heart~.......2005-09-15

As a lifelong Three Dog Night Fan, I am always interested in what the members of the original band has been up to. To the youngsters who never got the chance to hear Chuck, Corey & Danny's harmony, while they were in the prime, I'm sorry. You missed out on one of the greatest treats of the era. EAR CANDY, indeed. (Thankfully, most of the original jams are on CD format, and I strongly urge ya'll to give them a listen).
The mixture of dope, ego's, dope, groupies, dope and more ego problems led to the fall from grace. I'm sorry that it had to happen. Which leads to my appreciation that Mr. Negron was able to pull himself out of his self-inflicted "hell", and to find CRI-HELP, and turn his life around. Not that it was easy, or he made it without permanent damages to his soul, but at least he did not come down with HIV/AIDS or Hepatitis. This DVD was purchased at a local music store for $19.99 (Amazon has a much better deal) but it is still worth what I paid for it. If you have read Three Dog Nightmare, then you have an idea what you'll see and hear on the DVD. The audio & visual of the DVD is clear.
I would love to see, one more reunion, but I bet it won't happen.

chcuk negron is an example of gods love.......2005-09-15

chuck i commend you on telling your story . hopefully it will help others to either stop using drugs or not start.people tend to think being a star is all peaches and cream. you definitely show the down sound. you also show that drugs can be overcome. i am not a drug expert but when someone is on drugs as long as you were i doubt they normally ever make it back. may god bless and keep you and yours.

Amazing story.......2005-07-09

You'll laugh and you'll cry as you "witness" Chuck's life unfold before you. The fact that he survived what he did is a testament to his strength, determination and faith in God to bring him out of the torment and find happiness.

I could see this 100 times! Very entertaining!.......2005-07-08

Oustanding! At long last a documentary about one of the best entertainers of our time! It could be 5 hours longer and would still go by in a minute! To see someone survive being a victim of a long addiction to drugs, and come out of it the way he has is more than important for kiss to watch and learn from. Letting us all know that one can lose everything in a blink of an eye, if you should go down the wrong path. This film also teaches us all about how much harder it is the take the long road back and survive.
