Overview: From iconic guitar player to construction worker, Chris Holmes has lived a life of highs and lows. After losing publishing rights of his own songs and dealing with addictions, the ex-W.A.S.P. member has had to start from scratch living in his mother in law's basement in Cannes, France.

He is now ready to take on Europe with his new band. As we follow him along, he meets many fans and proves that he still is the showman he was as a young and famous rockstar.

This musical journey draws parallel stories of the rise, fall and rebirth of Chris Holmes with archives, live performances, interviews and behind-the-scene footages.

Blu-ray Verdict: In truth, I knew nothing of Chris Holmes, but did indeed obviously know of W.A.S.P. from back in the day, so I went into this rockumentary with an open mind and willing to learn something rockin' facts.

Surprisingly, for me at least, this rockumentary is actually very interesting, even to the W.A.S.P. layman and reveals a man in Holmes that, to put it bluntly, has been through life's wringer and back, that's for damn sure!

Having had his unfair share of ups and downs, the former W.A.S.P. guitarist has managed to stick around, regardless of vodka binges and black out nights spent, well, shit, even he doesn't know where, and the story of his life and career is told with depth and love and conviction here in 'Mean Man: The Story Of Chris Holmes' from Cleopatra-Entertainment.

I'm sure you know what to expect from it, but it delivers on all those fronts and even adds a genuine heartbeat of care, from the viewer to the screen, thread throughout too.

Tackling his past history as well as his current state of mind and well-being, in the present tense, the rockumentary follows Holmes during 2015-16 while on tour in support of his second album, the aptly entitled Shitting Bricks.

Watching old footage along with seeing endless amounts of old photos of the wee skinny-assed 19 y/o guitarist before W.A.S.P. was even thought up, the film includes its fair share of interviews - with former bandmates, longtime friends and other people that were around during Holmes’ life.
