Which episode is your favorite? Motley Crue? David Crosby? Biggie?
Most Behind the Music afficionados have their go-to shows, tales that clock the glories and pitfalls of a particular music act. The famed VH1 franchise hasn’t been that active in the last few years, but there’s good news for BTM freaks: VH1 is re-launching the Emmy-nominated and critically acclaimed series this summer. From the press release:
After more than 200 episodes, Behind the Music is now focusing on some of our favorite artists of today. From rock to hip-hop to pop, these innovative artists we are profiling are sure to captivate a whole new generation of viewers. In addition to the dramatic storytelling that made Behind The Music a worldwide hit, the reimagined version of the series will celebrate them as artists and will also feature originally shot verite footage of each artist, which will anchor each story in the present day.
New episodes will begin airing this summer and continue into the fall. Two confirmed episodes will be portraits of Lil Wayne and Scott Weiland. More information will follow.

WHY ARE WE HEARING BEHIND THE MUSIC ON RELEVANT ARTISTS THAT WE ALREADY KNOW ALL ABOUT??? PLEASE DO A STORY ON JODECI!!! THERE IS A LOT OF PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT HAS BEEN WAITING FOR A LONG TIME TO HEAR ABOUT JODECI! WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM, AND WHY DID THEY FALL OFF???? AT ONE TIME MARY J. BLIGE WAS ENGAGED TO ONE OF THE MEMBERS OF JODECI (KC HAILEY) I’M CURIOUS TO KNOW WHAT HE THINKS OF HER NOW, AND DOES HE WISH THAT HE HAD NEVER MESSED THEIR RELATIONSHIP UP, BEING THAT SHE IS SO SUCCESSFUL NOW, AND HE IS NOW A HAS BEEN. JODECI HELPED MAKE PUFF DADDY WHO HE IS TODAY. JODECI DISCOVERED SUCH ACTS AS TIMBALAND, MISSY ELLIOT, AND GINUWINE. IT WOULD BE A SHAME NOT TO SHARE THEIR STORY WITH THE REST OF THE WORLD.
WHERE IS JODECI?? DID THE ONCE POPULAR BAND REALLY SUCCUMB TO DRUGS?? ONE OF THE BAND MEMBERS(KC HAILEY) WAS ONCE ENGAGED TO MARY J. BLIGE. I WONDER IF HE REGRETS RUINING THEIR RELATIONSHIP NOW THAT HE SEES SHE IS SO SUCCESSFUL AND HE IS NOW A HAS BEEN. I HEAR THAT JODECI HELPED SHAPE PUFF DADDY INTO THE SUCCESSFUL MAN HE IS TODAY! DID JODECI REALLY DISCOVER SUCH TALENTS AS MISSY ELLIOT, GINUWINE, TIMBALAND AND OTHERS?? WHY IS VH1 DOING BEHIND THE MUSICS ON RELEVANT ARTISTS THAT WE ALREADY KNOW ALL ABOUT??? PLEASE TELL JODECI’S STORY!! MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN WAITING ON THIS FOR YEARS!!!
Right after Behind the Music for Brett Michaels, VH1 had a Behind the Music of 80’s video women and where they are now. I only taped two min of it because it was after the Brett Michaels that I was taping. Does anyone know the name? Where I can find it? Will it be shown again?
Thanks………..
Hey ming,that show about the 80s video girls is do it for the band the women of the sunset strip…
I’m dying to watch Scott Weiland episode! when is it going to be aired?
I would like to buy a CD or DVD of the Steve Perry/Journey Behind the Music episode. How might I do that?
I love Journey, and while their two substitute singers were pretty darn good, there is only one Steve Perry. Ever.
Thanks.
I would like to buy the video of VH1′s Behind the Music on Steve Perry and Journey. I’ve only seen the “director’s cuts” that are posted on YouTube which are kind of annoying because they are so repetitive. For me, there is no Journey without Steve Perry, and there is no Steve Perry without Journey. I have the Quintessential Journey CD which is fabulous. I have to hand it to Steve Augerie and Arnel. They’re good. But Steve Perry they ain’t. There was something heartfelt and real in his soulfulness and interpretation of the music. Seemed like he might have been kind of an !+%*!^&__~#+!%! hole, but still talent like that you can’t discount. The other two just mimicked his sound.
Please advise if such a purchase is possible, and if so how much (I do have my limits), and how to obtain.
Thank you.
I’m still waiting for a Peter Gabriel Behind The Music. The guy was a co-founder of the Rock N’Roll Hall of Fame prog/rock/pop band Genesis, had a hugely successful solo career, co-founder of Human Rights Now, WITNESS, the Elders, etc. A proper documentary on his career is long-over due.
how about the band Head East,the singer left the band at the height of their career to get sober.Found the lord & started the christian rock band Petra.
The Beastie Boys?
PLEASE do a Journey behind the music
Salut! checkonetwo
I would love to see artist like Jodeci, Adina Howard, and Xscape behind the music because the younger generation needs to know that there wouldn’t be a Chris brown, a destiny’s child or any other r&b groups or even solo artist like today if it wasn’t for these ol skool artist….. Plus i just love them!!!
Has VH1 ever approached The Cure to do an episode for Behind The Music? I find it hard to believe that Depeche Mode, Duran Duran, INXS, Guns ‘N Roses etc have all done it and not the Cure yet.
I really like this show but over the last few years its become a bit ridiculous, episodes on Britney, Christina and all that fake pop bullshit, it was better when real artists and musicians were featured.
What a lovely day for a 976281! SCK was here
What a lovely day for a 954300! SCK was here
What a lovely day for a 2667223! SCK was here
Will you guys please sell some of these on dvd???? I would really like to purchase BTM: Blind Melon! It’s prob the best depiction of Shanon I’ve ever seen. Hell like half of it is footage he shot himself while he documented his life and his self destruction. Shanon is a legend that died way before his time even came. Definitely the most underrated talent of ALL time. I haven’t seen it air in years, and new generations have no idea who he is. People are letting one song define his amazing talent and there is so much more to it than that. His story is one of the most amazing and yet saddest in music history.
behiind the music SCORPIONS, pleas
