''Behind the Music'' is a television series on VH1. The series places its generality on documentation of musical artists or groups who are interviewed and profiled, and discuss how their careers became successful and what hardships they undertook. On September 6, 2012, VH1 announced that the show's fifteenth season would premiere on Sunday, September 16 with an episode profiling band Train. Other new subjects include Toni Braxton, Carrie Underwood, Gym Class Heroes, Nicole Scherzinger, and Ne-Yo. T.I. and Pink will have their specials updated. ==Premise== Each show focuses on a musician or musical group, documenting both the successes of the musicians and the problems they faced during their careers. Except for the first two episodes (which focused on Milli Vanilli and M.C. Hammer), all programs are narrated by Jim Forbes. Forbes was later used to narrate the Milli Vanilli episode when it was modified to include the death of Rob Pilatus. The UK airings of the episodes focusing on Thin Lizzy and Genesis were narrated by Mary Anne Hobbs while Forbes narrated the US airings. VH1's criterion for choosing the musicians who appear on the show is, in many cases, to profile those who are no longer in the music industry, or were moderately significant in rock history. This is as opposed to VH1's other biography show, ''VH1's Legends'', which profiles musicians that have been very significant to the industry. However, there are some artists that were profiled on both ''Behind The Music'' and ''Legends'', including Tina Turner, Elton John, The Who (although their ''Behind the Music'' exclusively focused on their drummer Keith Moon), John Lennon (although ''Behind The Music'' exclusively focused on the months and days leading to his murder in 1980) and Pink Floyd (although their ''Behind the Music'' was the U.S. airing of the BBC produced documentary ''Behind the Wall'' in June 2000). The ''Pink Floyd: Behind the Wall'' documentary focused mainly on the making of the band's 1979 album'' The Wall'', the concert shows that went with it and the making of the ''Pink Floyd—The Wall'' movie and features no narrator. Another episode of ''Behind the Music'' on KISS was re-christened ''KISS: Beyond the Makeup'' in July 2001 (which was 2 hours in length). This featured Matt Pinfield, formerly of MTV's ''120 Minutes'', as narrator instead of Jim Forbes. ''Behind the Music'' came to be after Paul Gallagher and George Moll produced a one-hour special entitled ''Dying in Vein'' which first aired on VH1 in December 1996. While ''Dying in Vein'' was a magazine style show, its approach to storytelling served as the prototype for ''Behind the Music''. A short-lived half-hour spin-off series titled ''BTM2'' (short for ''Behind the Music 2''), chronicled the careers of newer upcoming artists. A spin-off titled ''Behind the Music: Remastered'' on VH1 Classic airs the updated original episodes with new interviews, footage and the later half of the artist's career. Motörhead and Deep Purple are the only all-original Remastered episodes despite not having a ''Behind the Music'' episode. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Behind the Music」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
