Shaved and Dangerous is an fantastic album, and I still listen to it all the time.
One of the best gigs I saw in the 90's was a secret gig at the Landsdowne Hotel in Sydney for the release of that album.
Dave was still playing his Musicman EVH's in those days and he shredded the ass off them into a pair of JCM800's- I think he moved to Grubisa guitars not long after that.
One of the loudest gigs of my life- my ears rang for days.
Thanks for posting the documentary- I didn't know they made it.

Update: Eddie (uploader) says he is not the owner of the video.
The 'Eddie' who uploaded is Eddie Parise, the bassist in the band.

So this would be him then?
Eddie and Frank (drummer) ended up playing with Robert Plant for a few years.
Monster rhythm section.

It's unlikely that I will.
(Not that I'm objecting to Aussies, it was just unusual to find so many gathered in one place. Outside Australia. And cricket grounds.)
I'm totally the opposite and I like to go native when I am abroad, which can be as simple as taking a left turn instead of a right turn. It always pays to know where the people you want to avoid are located!
Most of those Australians end up moving back in a few years.

BTW are you from Oz?
When I go back to Australia it feels like a foreign country, but the UK feels like home.

So have you watched the docco yet? I thought it was a good insight into the music business and we'll worth a watch. It seems to be a repeating theme with tales of money problems and unsupportive record companies. Everything is great when the record sales are high, but it doesn't take long for reality to strike.
My take is the real reason the band imploded was she married Nuno and got swept up in life in the US and the band was not rich or successful enough for members to be able to fly all over the planet.
If Suze had stayed in Australia (or the entire band moved to the same country) and they made a 3rd album then I reckon they'd have stayed together.
I don't agree with the notion that the first album was the best and the second wasn't good enough.
It wasn't promoted properly by a record company that wanted a pop record.
IMHO Shaved and Dangerous is a far better album with better songs.
The first album is more commercial, sure- and had more impact, but the playing on S&D is just on another level.
