Another factor is Frank blamed the band for the fall and death of CBlues co-director and dear friend Danny Seymour :
"In other interviews, Frank’s reflections on the film center on the fate of his friend and collaborator on the shoot Danny Seymour: “We both made the film together, but he really sort of lived what the Stones imagined they were living. It was a drug scene, but he really did it in front of the camera, and I lived with him, so I made the film on him, part of it.”
Elsewhere, Frank elaborated about the toll the film took on Seymour: “Without him it was very hard to make the film. So I was disappointed at the end that he was so strung out. I mean he was really gone. And [the Rolling Stones] did promise in the beginning they would help him, send him to Switzerland or somewhere, and of course the tour was over and they were gone. And Danny was left like that.”

So Frank might have used the final cut of the film as a revenge against the band.
