Must still have all the standard cliches - a death or a near death, and a segment at the end that says "but they're all friends now"...

And midway through there has to be the line: "But backstage, things were falling apart."

Dude, just the part of the Fishbone history where Kendall joined that cult and Norwood went to rescue him and got questioned by the FBI or whatever ALONE would be a great hour+ of television. Much less all the drummer-drama or the Chris Dowd-drama or the record-label-drama etc.

Calum. They should do Calum.

The story begins in a small village where as a young lad Calum would sit in his room, masturbate and surf the internet all day. When he reached 35 he stepped tentatively out into the exciting world of the music industry when (you finish).

― S Samson, Thursday, 20 March 2003 15:52 (twenty-three years ago)

Having left his parent's house for the first time at 35 and arriving in London was a shock to Calum.

Calum: My first response was to go an internet cafe and post stuff on ilxor.com. I resisted and instead started a pop band.

― S Samson, Thursday, 20 March 2003 15:53 (twenty-three years ago)

Phil Spector?

― Marcello Carlin, Thursday, 20 March 2003 15:54 (twenty-three years ago)

I believe they did a Phil Spector 'Behind the Music', Marcello.

― S Samson, Thursday, 20 March 2003 15:55 (twenty-three years ago)

Willie Nelson already has one.

I always thought the Smashing Pumpkins would have one interesting BTM. To wit:
-Two members date and then break up
-Band leader refuses to let other band members play on the record
-Band leader nearly has enormous Brian Wilson-esque breakdown
-Drummer increasingly abuses drugs
-Massive success
-Band leader shows himself to the world as a gigantic jackass
-Drummer kills the keyboardist, gets kicked out of band
-Disappointing sales
-Drummer rejoins the band
-Bassist exits inamicably
-More disappointing sales
-Breakup

Each of the primary Beach Boys (Brian, Dennis, Mike Love, Carl) deserves his own BTM.

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Friday, 21 March 2003 01:06 (twenty-three years ago)

Clearly this thread is all about Mayhem/Burzum. I'm shocked they haven't already done one, actually (unless they are thinking that making people curious about Burzum and Mayhem records might not be the best idea.)
