Ozzy Osbourne is renowned as one of the wildest and craziest frontmen of all time. His antics, including biting the head off a bat and snorting ants, have gone down in the annals of rock and rock history. But what made Ozzy so wild? In this revealing biopic we go back to Ozzy’s roots to discover the childhood trauma that forged the entertainer and made him want to ‘out crazy’ the rest. We hear from his friends, many speaking for the first time, and chart his life from his poverty-stricken upbringing in Birmingham, England, through his rise to the top as frontman of Black Sabbath and his eventual dismissal after his drink and drug addiction overwhelmed him. We also hear how his future wife, Sharon, saved him from ruin and how she helped harness Ozzy’s wild side and turn him into one of the world’s most successful frontmen.

In the mid 1980s, hair metal band Poison fronted by ambitious Bret Michaels and wild lead guitarist C.C Deville, bass player Bobby Dahl and drummer Rikki Rockett were united in their determination to become global rock stars. Through sheer hard work and relentless promotion, they did indeed take the world by storm within a couple of years of landing in Los Angeles. Thanks to their spectacular arena gigs and 40 million album and DVD sales, they have become one of the world’s most successful and enduring glam rock stars. Their off-stage excess and partying, along with their female following at all the parties, was legendary. But Fame and fortune cost them dear and they paid big time. By the 1990s, serious cracks began to appear. Festering jealousies and power struggles, worsening addictions, gladiatorial backstage fist fights and ultimately burnout from constant touring and partying were amongst the trials they faced.. So which of these ended up poisoning Poison ? Or was their fate sealed by outside forces beyond their control ? Hold on tight !

Malcolm and Angus Young are the heart of AC/DC, one of the world’s greatest ever rock bands. The 2 youngest of 8 siblings, they grew up in a working-class family where rock n roll was the only life they ever knew. Both brothers had a relentless, take no prisoners, attitude to success and they shared one dream; to get to the top and become guitar toting multi- millionaires. Their desire to conquer the world with their singular brand of heavy rock came before everything, including family relationships, and over 35 years many of those around them would be chewed up and spat out as AC/DC rose to world domination. But even as its members achieved global success beyond their wildest dreams, AC/DC would be haunted by tragedy after tragedy.

With a combined fortune of 900 million dollars and a band life spanning four decades, Metallica is one of the biggest selling heavy metal bands in history. Their 1991 sixteen-times certified album ‘Metallica’, known as ‘The Black Album’ changed the course of heavy metal and plunged the young quartet to megastardom. But, it hasn’t always been an easy road. Struggles with aggression, addiction, jealousy and the death of a much loved band member have plunged the band in and out of darkness for as long as it’s been a unit, and yet Metallica continues to thrive. ‘Breaking the Band: Metallica’ reveals the inside story of the trials and tribulations of one of the biggest, baddest metal bands on earth.

At the height of their success they were the biggest rock band in the world infamous for their excess and raucous live performances. With their strutting frontmen, wild hair and penchant for spandex they are often portrayed as the archetypal 80’s American rock band. The band went through two ‘break ups’ covered by our timeline owing to a variety of factors but most prominently conflicts over the Van Halen brother’s desire for total control and the destructive impacts of substance/alcohol abuse. By 1984 they were the biggest band in the world but, behind the scenes, all was not well and a battle for control raged between the brothers at the heart of the band and it’s lead singer, David Lee Roth. Years of touring, drugs and personality clashes had left them on the brink. When Roth’s ambitions grew beyond the band, the brothers moved quickly to force him out. Their millions of fans were left devastated, but rising from the ashes the they would regroup with a new front man, Sammy Hagar. Against the odds they reached even greater heights with a string of 4 consecutive No.1 albums. Apparently vindicated by their decision the band appeared harmonious. But as the success grew, new tensions emerged and in 1995 the tale of ten years earlier was repeated when Hagar too was ousted for his apparent disloyalty.
