amber vistalite Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 I thought they did in the late 90's with Steven (Rubber Lips) Tyler as narrator. I went to the BTM part of VH1's site and couldn't find anything on the boys. Anyone know something about this. I would love to have a copy of it. Thanks Quote
3hrsoflunacy Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 Well, I have these documentaries: MTV Rockumentary (Zep) Peter Grant Documentary VH1 Legends (Zep) VH1 Storytellers (Plant) VH1 Hangin with Robert Plant Quote
PlantOneOnMe Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 For a band that was in existence for over 11 years, it is a shame there isn't more written, documented and cataloged (not talking about their music). The Beatles were together for less years, and we are saturated by Beatles memoribilia, movies, Anthologies, myriads of books and magazines. As much as I admire Led Zeppelin for being individuals and doing it their way, I would really like to have more of a visual record of their tenure than what's available. Quote
Tadpole in a Jar Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 The VH1 Legends special was pretty cool, as I recall. That must have been 10 years ago now. Wow. It is weird that there's not more out there on Led Zeppelin, but at the same time I think that keeps them feeling like an underground phenomenon even though they're nearly as successful as Elvis and the Beatles. There's never been any kind of VH1 special on Van Halen, though. That's a story that's begging to be told. Quote

Melanie_72 Posted April 5, 2008 Posted April 5, 2008 They did a VH1 Legends a few years back, but I would love to see them do a Rock Docs. That is another series that VH1 does. I saw the Rock Docs on The Who, Bob Dylan and Monterey Pop and it made me think of how cool it would be to do one about Zeppelin. Quote
solar Posted April 6, 2008 Posted April 6, 2008 I've just got the From A to Zeppelin I did'nt see it yet,but it has all the important people from Zeppelin Life in there.(even Cole,Des Barres,their sound tech's...) Yes, all of the important people from Zeppelin life ... Excluding any of the four members, their families, their management or anyone in the day to day innerworkings of the band other than coked-and-smacked-out-Cole, who's already whored out his drug-addled "story" in two books. In other words, that A to Zeppelin is garbage, just like every other pseudodocumentary that's been made. The VH1 Classic Legends is about the best available. Even the Biography Channel's, as mentioend in another thread, is pathetically done. Quote
