Infamous Rolling Stones documentary leaks

Aug 21, 2009

The infamous - and well and truly banned - 1972 Rolling Stones documentary Cocksucker Blues has somehow leaked online. The film was shot by photographer Robert Frank during their 1972 US tour. I'm not entirely sure what the Rolling Stones of the 1970s thought a tour video of the Rolling Stones of the 1970s would consist of, but evidently they were shocked when they were shown taking drugs and all kinds of other naughtiness. In fact Keith Richards once claimed that: "If anyone in America saw it, we'd never be let in the country again." Weirdly, the film was banned due to the Stones whingeing, and a court order ruled that the film can only be legally aired when Robert Frank himself is present at the screening. The leak has now been removed from the flavorwire.com blog, but we'd be exceptionally surprised if you couldn't get a torrent of it somewhere now. Just make sure you invite Mr Frank round before you press play..
