Behind The Music Will Return This Summer
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.

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………..

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.
