Half Good Half Useless

Warning: Spoilers
As band biographies go, some of these are good, sometimes. The focus on breakups serves the subject well.

The subjects are a mixed bag. NWA and the Clash and Van Halen, all influential and famous for disfunction.

Does anyone care about the Spice Girls? Sonny and Cher? Even Smashing Pumpkins were only mid level success among many other similar groups, pompous and self indulgent, with only 2 albums.

But why include that idiot psychologist? She brings the whole story to an annoying halt every time she's on screen. She adds nothing but the most obvious things that you don't need to be a shrink to see.

This narrator sounds like an electric drill

Seriously, does this guy ever talk normally or take a breath? Man he is annoying! And hey announcer guy - the Priest album is called Unleashed IN The East not FROM the east. Decent episodes, although any fan of the bands probably already know about the issues.

The narrator is so annoying!

I hate documentaries that try to talk the entire time in a dramatic tone as if they need to emphasize how dramatic everything is. It's like they're tying to make a bland story more exciting by talking so dramatic. And some of the topics are cool, I'm not even saying the stories are bland, the whole voice is just unnecessary, and holy crap is it annoying.
