Guest FeArHaVoC Report post Posted March 12, 2003 VH1 started off with a show called "Legends" which covered bands like Led Zeppelin, The Doors, U2, etc., which then led to "Behind the Music." Pretty much everyone and their mother has done these and I can't think of the last time VH1 had a New Behind the Music. Hell, even Artist and bands I hate I watched because the show is interesting. Anyway, who would you like to see do a "Behind the Music" who hasn't yet? My picks Guns N' Roses Chances of that are slim to none with Axl Van Halen I think most of us know about 90% of the story and Drama of this band. But I would like to see the early stuff. The early days and how the band got together with David Lee Roth. Anyone else? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Youth N Asia Report post Posted March 12, 2003 They've pretty much done all the interesting ones they're going to get. It would be too hard for them to do any other big names and actually get the people to show up and talk. You know they're stretching when you get Hall & Oates Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JasonX 0 Report post Posted March 12, 2003 I'd want to see them do Weezer, and if possible a full 2hr Pink Floyd one Weezer would be a really good pick especially given the fact that it would be a good place for the Weezer to set the record straight about the all of the craziness and rumor of an all-out mutiny against Rivers that the band staged during the period of 1996-1999. GnR would be another pick but I can see VH1 delaying any sort of BTM edition until the new album comes out, which means we'll never see it..... Van Halen would also be a good pic for a two-hour edition, especially given the drama that was involved with the numerous changes in the line-up Wilco and Aimee Mann is another potential BTM candidate given their "I fought the record industry to preserve my our artistic integrity and won" story material Pink Flyod also needs a full two hour edition, as the VH1 Legends special only covered up through The Wall and barely touched upon the controversy over the fight over the Pink Floyd name in the late 1980s and such.... As for year themed BMT: 1991 and 1993: To finish up the story of the rise of Alternative and the fall of the hairbands 1988: Metallica goes mainstream with "One", Dirty Dancing Fever, the rise of teenyboppers Tiffany, Debbie Gibson, NKOTB, and the formation of NWA, Nirvana, and the grunge movement 1964: Rise of the Beatles and their effect on Pop Music Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JasonX 0 Report post Posted March 12, 2003 Pink Floyd The Doors (Just bought the Oliver Stone DVD) Elvis Presley Chuck Berry Guns N' Roses Van Halen (They did something similar called the Sammy and Dave show. Where are Eddie and Alex anyway?) The Doors was given one of the first "Legends" specials and it's pretty packed in terms of covering their career (and is narrated by Henry Rollins to boot). Eddie and Alex weren't involved in the Sammy and Dave Show because the focus of the S&DS was on Sammy and Dave in terms of their times with Van Halen and out of Van Halen as solo artists.

Guest Edwin MacPhisto Report post Posted March 12, 2003 Since the best BTMs thus far have been the likes of Motley Crue, Poison, and Def Leppard, I'd love to see them fill out their catalogue with some ridiculous rise and fall of Whitesnake, the Scorpions, and other hair-metal castaways.

Guest converge241 Report post Posted March 12, 2003 The Cure Pop Will eat Itself (no way in hell on that one) Joy Division have they done one on just David Lee Roth? like focusing on him leaving and his solo career rise and fall? Id like to see that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Vern Gagne Report post Posted March 12, 2003 Eddie and Alex probably won't talk to BTM. Nirvana and Alice in Chains seem like good canidates. There also a perfect fit with drug use, and dead lead singers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
