mants writes:: The movie is based on several bands-- The DVD says all about Crowe's influences. It talks about the articles he wrote for Rolling Stone, and has a "making of" video.; 5 of 5 people found this comment helpful. Did you?

BlackEyedAngel writes:: Yup, it is based on Crowe's experience with several bands, not just the Allman Brothers, though they were one of them... If you read the introductions to the Rolling Stone articles Crowe wrote in the DVD features, you'll recognize aspects from the movie in his description of several bands... For example, in the intro to the Led Zeppelin article, he talks about how it took weeks to actually get Jimmy Page to sit down and do an interview with him - like the guitarist in Stillwater in the movie.; 4 of 4 people found this comment helpful.
