No offense to Xacel, I just think we need to see outside our little forum world here and realize this band isn’t that special.

However, I do look forward to the day when a 'real' documentary is made. Remember in the Howard Stern interview where Dave alluded to Roi battling demons? Never heard that before. Or the fact there is clearly something wrong with Boyd? Not to mention Ballard, the Lillywhite sessions, and the burden/humility that goes with their sustained success.

I don’t think either that there will be a movie ever. Chances are absolutely minimal. And I didn’t say that I want a movie.
But when I think about some part of DMB story, I do see some very dramatic moments. Of course everything rotates around Dave and Roi. The story of a strong friendship, with some very critical moments and then one dies suddenly. The huge pain.
And before, Dave had some very critical moments, and was thinking about suicide.
There would be quite some material for a good plot.
If a think about a good documentary instead, Netflix made a great one about Avicii, which had a complicated story, but much less sophisticated than DM’s one. Totally different world, but for a moment I am not referring to the music, just to the story.
I never liked The Beach Boys, but
Love & Mercy was quite an interesting movie to me. What I mean here is that it is not required to deal with an absolute rockstar to make a good movie. I enjoyed
Searching For Sugar Man a lot, and I had no idea of who Sixto Rodriguez was, before I watched the movie.
Love & Death, most of DMB songs and their story rotate around those two themes, and these are often the ones that are used to make a movie (thinking also of
The Doors).
