Rock fans, get ready — Netflix has announced a major new documentary set for release in 2026 titled Guns N’ Roses: The Ultimate Rock Bond with AC/DC. This highly anticipated film will explore the deep, unexpected connection between two of the biggest rock bands in history, offering an inside look at their parallel journeys, collaborations, and lasting influence on the world of music.
Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Alison Ellwood, known for her work on History of the Eagles and Laurel Canyon, the documentary promises to dive into the personal and professional ties between the members of Guns N’ Roses and AC/DC. While both bands carved their own unique paths to global superstardom, the film highlights the surprising ways their stories intertwine — especially during the critical moment when Guns N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose famously stepped in to front AC/DC during their 2016 Rock or Bust tour after Brian Johnson was forced to step down due to health issues.
In an official statement, Netflix described the documentary as “a celebration of friendship, resilience, and the raw power of rock and roll.” Featuring never-before-seen backstage footage, rare interviews, and exclusive performances, The Ultimate Rock Bond will showcase the mutual respect and admiration that grew between two titans of the genre.
Fans can expect interviews with Axl Rose, Slash, Angus Young, and Duff McKagan, among others, who reflect candidly on what the collaboration meant to them — both personally and musically. Early previews suggest the documentary will also explore the evolution of hard rock itself, tracing how Guns N’ Roses and AC/DC helped shape the sound and spirit of multiple generations.
“It’s a story of survival, loyalty, and pure passion for the music,” said Ellwood in a press release. “At a time when the future of both bands was uncertain, they found a way to keep the music alive — together.”
The documentary is already generating major buzz within rock circles, with fans eagerly awaiting a closer look at one of the most fascinating alliances in modern music history. Guns N’ Roses: The Ultimate Rock Bond with AC/DC is set to premiere globally on Netflix in early summer 2026.
For rock aficionados and casual fans alike, this promises to be a must-watch tribute to two of the loudest, proudest, and most enduring forces in rock and roll.
