Way, way "Behind the Music"---no band interviews or music here...
This one's for fans only. We keep getting updates throughout the doc. on how many actual "fans" they had during their 1980's run (based on actual album sales), and it was always a small (BUT EXTREMELY LOYAL) bunch.
So loyal that their fans are still buzzing about them 20+ years after they packed it in. And yet I'm guessing 97% of America's music "consumers" still have never heard of 'em. And I'm also guessing that's why their fans are still buzzing about 'em, as they'll always have a great band to love all to themselves.
I'm not going to review much more of this in-depth, as there are plenty of reviews already posted for you to peruse. I'm just going to reprint the lyrics to "Treatment Bound" (slightly modified to pass IMDb standards), because it sums up EVERYTHING about this band in three minutes and sixteen seconds:
We're getting' no place fast as we can Get a nose-full from our so-called friends We're getting' nowhere quick as we know how We whirl from town to town treatment bound First thing we do when we finally pull up Get sh*t-face drunk try to sober up There'll be no pose tonight no money in sight Label wants a hit and we don't give a sh*t 'cause where getting' no place as fast as we can We get a nose-full from our so-called friends We're getting' nowhere quick as we know how We whirl from town to town Duluth to Madison Treatment bound Getting' nowhere (keep going') Second thing we do is walk around Go to the job or try to hold one down There's no mass appeal Carton's asleep at the wheel Yesterday's trash too bored to thrash We're getting' nowhere fast as we can We got a nose-full of them so-called friends We're getting no place as quick as we know how We're getting' nowhere what will we do now? Take it, Scotty Tommy: one of the chords at that one part you just f*cked it up Paul: f*cked 'em up
