Tenacious D has a record coming out in February. I’d like to see a “Behind the Music” that coicides with that.

I’d be happy if I could just catch the REM one - I keep missing it.
Prince would be pretty cool, though I can’t see him cooperating with VH1.

Nah, that would ruin all the fun. 😉
In all seriousness, true fans of **The Residents** already know who the eyeballed ones are. So _we_ (unlike curious onlookers) don’t want to see an expose.

I’d like to see that one, too. For an update as to what she’s been up to lately, click here

I’d like to see ABBA & The Electric Light Orchestra.

I’d like to see Journey and also Aerosmith. The dudes in Aerosmith have done absolutely everything. They should make for a good show.
I loved the one on the RHPS.

I actually e-mailed VH1. I told them to stop profiling nothing bands like Poison, and do the classics.
I would like to see:
**Rush** , although there’s not much tragedy there, only great music.
**Deep Purple** , a 2-parter that also included all the Rainbow line-ups.
**The Ramones**. Gabba Gabba Hey!
**Bad Religion** , arguably, the most successful punk band ever.
And, **The Dickies** , but I’ll never live to see it.
I missed the **Badfinger** one. Great band.
I always catch the **Heart** episode halfway through, after the lead singer puts on all the weight. Dammit, she used to be so _HOT_, and I can’t see the video of her.

I’d kill to see one on They Might Be Giants. On the other hand, even though they’ve been around a long time, they haven’t really had any tragedies or drug addictions (aside from coffee!) or anything to make them into prime BTM material…and VH1’s already done the tongue-in-cheek “Look at all the niceness” episode for Weird Al.

They did do **Kansas** in a **Where Are They Now?** episode.
Although I know they already have declined to have one done on them, I would LOVE to see one on **Cheap Trick**. Since they turned down **BTM** , I would prefer to see them on **Storytellers** anyway.
