When I was 14, I bought an unauthorized Guns N' Roses documentary at FYE. I didn't realize "unauthorized" meant they couldn't use any actual GNR music in the documentary. I just thought it meant the stories would be salacious and the history shocking. I was crestfallen when I realized this 3 hour documentary about Appetite for Destruction wouldn't actually contain any actual songs from the album! I became curious though: Who makes the vaguely familiar sounding but license-free music in the background of these unauthorized music history films? Thanks to the resources I've acquired from QITK, I tracked down and interviewed the most prolific license free stock music makers in the history of unauthorized music docs, and made a doc about them.
