Synopsis

After splitting up with British punk band the UK Subs, Alvin Gibbs received a call from his old friend, Hanoi Rocks guitarist Andy McCoy, "How would you like to be on a world tour, playing bass for Iggy Pop?"
What seemed like any rock musician's dream gig became an odyssey of surreal decadence: 230 nights of Iggy's unique brand of performance in just about every major city across six continents.
Neighbourhood Threat features drugs, alcohol and professional Japanese groupies. Follow Iggy around the globe as he suffers stage fright in front of David Bowie, and single-handedly takes on Pepsi Cola. Meanwhile, his band members experience vomiting whilst Johnny Thunders of the New York Dolls has sex on the other side of the bathroom, and a Guns N' Roses party that takes on Sadeian proportions.
