Re: Revamped "Behind The Music" To Feature Axl?
Lil Wayne, Kanye West Lined Up for Revamped 'Behind the Music'
Two renown rappers will up the ante for the return of VH1's "Behind the Music" that ceased from airing back in 2006. Executives for the music channel announced yesterday that the semi-documentary program will come back for a second round and it turns out that they have had a line of names that focus more on the current than the veterans.
In separate episodes, Lil Wayne and Kanye West will be featured in a bid to have more contemporary artists who are "on top of their game". Executive Vice President of the show, Rick Krim explained on the changing of the format, "We had to rethink a little bit and look at these current artists that are really big stars now, and maybe it isn't the classic rise and fall. ...And also, just because their big stars now doesn't mean they necessarily have a great 'Behind the Music' kind of story."
Signed for the first two episodes are Lil Wayne and Scott Weiland respectively. "From our research, (Lil Wayne) certainly does," Krim reasoned on the choice. "From the fact that when he was a kid he accidentally shot himself and almost died at age 12 while playing with a gun, he went through Katrina, he has (a possible stint in) jail pending. He has all the requisite drama in his life, which I think ultimately makes for the great story. The fact that he's one of the biggest stars out there makes it the right combination that we're looking for."
The show is slated to arrive in July although Lil Wayne's date is not yet revealed. VH1 also mentioned other names such as Britney Spears, Axl Rose, Julio Iglesias, M.I.A., Coldplay, Radiohead and Depeche Mode.
That's going to be incredible. It'll be amazing for whatever pro shot live footage they have.Re: Revamped "Behind The Music" To Feature Axl?
^ Gee, that's it, I was at least expecting;
"CHINESE DEMOCRACY PART II STARTS NOW...!"
I suppose if we get to see this, it will be a re-edited version of the old Slash-sided "Behind The Music" (that didn't feature Duff or Izzy either).
The one that told us "Chinese Democracy" was coming November 2004...:P
Re: Revamped "Behind The Music" To Feature Axl?
I wonder who will else will be on it, if its Beta and Co talking about Slash I dont think I'll bother tuning in.
I hope its more about the making of CD, speaking to the people who worked on it over the years and Axls hopes and aspirations.
If he wants to dish some dirt I would love to hear about the aborted tours, riots and the constant obsticles that prevent the normal functioning of the band.

I'd love to see something like that with Axl's participation. It would be so un-Axl-like that it would be must see tv.
