HIRED GUNS

Cinemavixion Review

Fran Strine's 2016 documentary, 'Hired Guns,' offers a compelling glimpse into the often-unseen world of session and touring musicians. These are the unsung heroes behind the biggest names in music, individuals like John 5, Kenny Aronoff, and Corey Britz, who lend their exceptional talents to artists ranging from Metallica and KISS to Billy Joel. While they may not grace magazine covers, their mastery of their instruments is undeniable, forming the backbone of countless hit songs and legendary performances. The film shines a much-deserved spotlight on their skill, dedication, and the unique pressures and rewards of a career spent in service of the music itself, rather than personal fame.
