Update: Dec 22nd, 2020: ABRAMORAMA to release "LONG LIVE ROCK…CELEBRATE THE CHAOS"

Abramorama just announced they have acquired worldwide distribution rights for veteran film and television producer, and longtime music supervisor, Jonathan McHugh’s directorial debut Long Live Rock...Celebrate The Chaos, a deep dive into the often misunderstood but beloved and dedicated culture of hard rock music. The film is produced by McHugh, Gary Spivack and Jonathan Platt and had its global premiere screening in Europe at the Tartuff /Black Nights Film Festival and its domestic premiere screening at The Grammy Museum in Los Angeles in February followed by a Q&A with some of the talent from the film.

Long Live Rock…Celebrate The Chaos will be launched with an online global red carpet premiere screening event on March 11 featuring a Q&A with the filmmakers, band members and some surprise guests. The following day Long Live Rock will be available to music fans around the world on Abramorama’s global direct-to-consumer and affiliate partner platform Watch Now @ Home.

Over the last few years Long Live Rock was filmed at various rock festivals around America showing the scope of just how massive these crowds are, rivaling some of the biggest destination music festivals such as Coachella and Lollapalooza. In intimate interviews, the leading titans of rock discuss the genre and the special relationship they have with their audience. Featuring members of Metallica, Guns N ‘Roses, Slipknot, Korn, Rob Zombie, Five Finger Death Punch, Rage Against the Machine, Greta Van Fleet, Halestorm, Machine Gun Kelley, Shinedown, and many more.

Viewers will get a front row seat to what makes hard rock fans want to crowd surf, mix it up in the mosh pit, or just throw all caution to the wind by participating in the ultimate community mayhem known as “The Wall of Death.” We follow passionate fans as they take time out from their everyday lives to commune with their “rock family” at music festivals across the U.S. or wherever the road takes them to celebrate the controlled chaos that is rock ‘n roll.

Director Jonathan McHugh stated, “Gary Spivack and I wanted to make a film celebrating the chaos of rock culture. Growing up in NYC I would do whatever it took to get in to see bands like Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and other rock icons. We were lucky enough to work with great rock stars like Motley Crue and the legendary Metallica when we met at Elektra Records in the 90’s. Now 25 years later we are so proud to partner with Abramorama to shine a light on the most passionate fans in the world and the music that drives them. Since we have not been able to attend concerts and may not for a while, we hope our film can fill this void…until the day we can all rock out together again!”

Abramorama’s CEO Richard Abramowitz said, “Given his decades long career in a world where music and movies meet, Jonathan is the ideal person to tell this story. We’re delighted to shepherd his first effort as a director out into the world.”

Evan Saxon, Abramorama’s Head of Music added, “We’re ecstatic to bring Long Live Rock…Celebrate The Chaos to music fans around the world. I’ve known Jonathan McHugh, Gary Spivack and Jonathan Platt for many years, and they know how powerful the relationship between artist and audience is. Long Live Rock takes fans from the front row to backstage. While there’s no replacing the live concert experience Long Live Rock is the next best thing.”

Jonathan McHugh has been producing, directing and music supervising film and television for decades, producing over 35 films and tv shows, and music supervising over 75 films as well as producing many gold, platinum, Emmy and Oscar-nominated films and television soundtracks. Among his many credits, McHugh produced Paramount’s Justin Bieber: Never Say Never, the Britney Spears film Crossroads, and the documentary Janis: Little Girl Blue.

News & latest Releases

Ace Frehley – Cherry Medicine - (Official Music Video).

Ace previously released the title track, "10,000 Volts" and single "Walkin' on the Moon." Rock ‘n’ roll and heavy metal simply wouldn’t sound, look, or feel the same without Ace Frehley. Among hundreds of accolades, The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame® inducted him in 2014 as a Co-founder and the original lead guitarist of Kiss. Guitar World named him in the Top 15 of its “100 Greatest Heavy Metal Guitarists of All Time” and plugged the lead from “Shock Me” on the “50 Greatest Guitar Solos of All Time.” Magnifying the imprint of his catalog as a solo artist, Foo Fighters cut a fan-favorite cover of “Ozone,” and he even jammed out “New York Groove” alongside The Roots on NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. The late Dimebag Darrell of Pantera proudly sported a tattoo of Frehley on his chest, while Tom Morello of Rage Against The Machine celebrated him on X/Twitter as “My first guitar hero.” 10,000 Volts upholds an incredible legacy for Frehley, spanning 50-plus years in the limelight. Back in 1978, he delivered his solo debut, Ace Frehley. It reached platinum status and exploded as “the highest-selling of the four Kiss solo albums in the Soundscan era.” Pitchfork even retrospectively rated it a rare “8.5” score. In 1987, he dropped Frehley’s Comet. Following Anomaly in 2009, he went on to make history once again. His 2014 Space Invader LP captured #9 on the Billboard 200 and emerged as “The only solo album by a past or current Kiss member to reach the Top 10 on the chart.” 2016’s Origins Vol. 1, bowed at #1 on the Billboard Top Hard Rock Albums Chart and in the Top 5 of the Billboard Top Rock Albums Chart. He notably maintained his momentum with Spaceman [2018]. "'10,000 Volts,' in its own time, in its own way, is similarly staggering – quite simply, OVERWHELMING. 10,000/10 -- Ghost Cult Magazine (February 22, 2024) RRHOF-inductee and guitar legend Ace Frehley releases a new video for "Cherry Medicine," featured on his new album, "10,000 Volts." His highly-anticipated album will be released tomorrow. Produced and co-written by Ace and Steve Brown, the uncontainable energy on the 11-tracks showcases some of Ace's best works since his '78 solo album. On "Cherry Medicine," a mean palm-muted chug underlines his pensive vocals where he confesses, “I knew I had to change my ways for sure to keep you by my side.” The track showcases another side of Frehley with its saccharine and sweet, soaring hook as he promises, “I love you, cherry medicine. You heal my every need and some.” He seals the sentiment with another powerhouse solo.
