Woodstock with Peter Jackson’s Get Back treatment.

Sly and the Family Stone. There is some REAL drama that happened with that group, and watching Sly fall from an innovative musician who wanted to preach love and acceptance to surrounding himself with gangsters and becoming paranoid, to eventually living in a van as an old man who “used to be somebody” would be heartbreaking if it was done right.

The disappointment when The Family Stone got announced and it wasn't about them...

Was that a movie? I’m not familiar with that.

Yeah, some tepid relationship drama I think? I never saw it on principle after it played with my heart like that

I see… they were trying to be clever with the title. Lame.

I’d love to see a Fleetwood Mac miniseries too! I recently got into watching music documentaries and specifically went looking for one on Fleetwood Mac on streaming and was sadly disappointed.

Technically it’s already been done before, but I’d love to see a better biopic on The Doors than the Oliver Stone movie, specifically in regards to accuracy of the events shown on screen.

Oasis, Liam and Noel are so funny

Maybe a musician who isnt legendarily well known, who didnt have a stratospheric rise from the start. Somebody like Greg Gonzales from Cigarettes After Sex, who recorded his debut in like 2010 or something and put it on bandcamp, and barely anyone even listened to it. Then a fan put it on youtube years later, and it suddenly went viral. Gonzales was playing in cover bands in dive bars for barely any money at the time, and when a flood of people started buying his record and the views on youtube were racking up, he said he started crying, he thought no one cared. Now at age 40 hes touring the world and while his band arent pop megastars, they are doing quite well for themselves. A lot of the music biopics are about big acts with skyrocket trajectories, so maybe Id like to see a story about a quieter triumph.

That's a really good idea, too. I discovered Cigarettes After Sex on Spotify while looking for Murakami-themed playlists. I actually didn't know that about him, this could definitely be a movie for sure.

There was zero chance the Whitney biopic was going to be accurate bc the family had control and the family will not accept that she had issues and was lesbian/bi.

Yup. That's the probably with most biopics. They won't really dig into the dirt since they want to maintain a certain image. The best biopics are showing just how shitty the performers are to balance out their celebrity

Joe Meek. There was a low budget film made a few years ago but a proper adaption is warranted. Very eccentric music producer and electronic music visionary during the British Invasion era. His story ends with a murder-suicide.

I think I read a story about him in one of the Big Books by Paradox Press.

I'd personally love to see a biopic of Joan Baez.

There is this really good graphic novel named WHO'S THE SCATMAN, which is a biography of Scatman John. They should turn that into a movie, but as animation, done in the same art style as the comic book.

A Ramones biopic. I know that Pete Davidson is doing a Joey biopic, but for me, Joey was always the least interesting member of the band. There were so many other things going on behind the scenes that would be more interesting to cover.

Dee Dee's addiction and rap album, and Johnny marrying Joey's ex and being a republican would be great.

TheeMunson t1_j2a91yj wrote

Dee Dee's substance abuse issues and his traumatic life history. Johnny's strict upbringing and his politics. The rotating list of drummers. The band was bigger than just one person.
