the documentary needs a name!
It's a collection of rock-related stories and anecdotes; some of them happy, some of them sad. It's been "untitled" for too long. So I look to you, the best and the brightest (and the drunkest) to come up with something fantastic. Click on comments and post your suggestions.

How about????
"Chinese Democracy"
Guns and Roses will never get around to using this title....
Okay, this is a little too alliterative, but how about "Rock n Roll saved my soul?"
Or "Metal Salvation."
"And I, for one, welcome our new metal overlords."
"Confessions of the Fred Phelps fan club"
"Metal comes out of fucking nowhere!"
You can tie into the religious theme of "Bigger Than Jesus" with:
"Rock of my Salvation."
P.S. - You didn't hear that from me...just like you didn't hear the idea of doing an encore of the show next year on 6/6/06...
I confess I'm fond of Knights in Satan's Service...
Rock and roll stole my goddamn tacos.
Certainly some evangelical has a copyright on "Knights in Satan's Service."
Here are some suggestions:
I was a Teenage Metalhead
Rock N Roll Ate My Brain
Rock N Roll Took My Baby Away
Tim Riley's Babealicious Express
Some might even call it "Rocking on Air."
.
Wait. No they wouldn't. Nobody would say something that lame...
Between a contest between hard rockin' and fecal lasagna, 9 out of 10 dentists prefer hard rockin'
oooh... I really like "I Was a Teenage Metalhead" but I fear it's too genre specific. For example, one story is about Pink Floyd, which isn't really metal.
How about...
I Was a Teenage Woo Guy
heh
How about "I was a Teenage Rocker" or I was a Teenage Rock Fan" or some variation on the BTJ title.
Maybe:
I Wanna Be Joey Ramone
There's always:
Confessions from the Gay Chair
Sigfried's gone to his happy place.
...or how about "Gene Simmons Took My Girl"
There's already a title song.
Ok, I'm done.
I got it!
How about...
I Was a Teenage Dirtbag
Come on, that's adorable!
And we can get some rockin' band to cover the Wheatus song.
Sexcopter - bwakka chikka bwow, bwakka chikka bwow bwow
Glad you guys are taking this so seriously. Gawd, it's like I'm babysitting except I'm not getting paid.
You can't call it Sexcopter, that's my mom's name.
Paid? What's that.
Unleashing the Woo.
By Jove, I've got it!
"Behind the Balo Curtain."
"It's gold Jerry! Gold!"
How about - " This Means Something." And then a graphic of stacked vinyl albums or CDs to resemble a recreation of that scene in Close Encounters of the Third Kind where potatoes become Devil's Tower. And you could have Rick just gazing at it while sitting at a dinner table while everyone else at the table has a similar Devil's Tower reproduction on their own plate. Or you could have one plate full of actual mashed potatoes to help solidify the reference. It conveys the draw and obsessiveness of music. It ackowledeges the " fanatic " part of us that we all have. And it is done in the company of people who feel the same way. As opposed to Close Encounters where Richard Dreyfuss is an outcast. Then you can have some subtle images of rough attempts at sheet music on the fridge behind a dishevelled Rick. Half his face can be sunburned or one ear noticeably deaf or one side of a headphone burned out or something like that.
I would like to see some real dense stuff though. Something between Highlights for Children Hidden Pictures and a messy bedroom.
I actually thought about this over the weekend. How about...
"Headbangers don't die, they just go to hell and regroup : Confessions of a metal maniac"
1) Whoever suggested Chinese Democracy -on the premise that it'll never actually be used otherwise- is a genius.
2) Nate gets some kind of special award for working a Public Enemy lyric into his title suggestion.
3) We all rule.
4) We're all retards.
Open Up and Say Blah...
(Drum role please)
"Theater of pain"
Or...since maybe all are not painful stories, you could call it
"Theater of pain.
comedy and tragedy."
Or just...
"Comedy and tragedy"
Did I spell that right?

Hey Joni,
you have that picture of me when I was younger gripping the power cord. I want that to show up when I add a blog entry. How do I do that?
You do that by asking me really nicely to scan it for you. But my scanner's not hooked up at the moment. Ask me later.
Joni you sweet, nice, beautiful, talented person. Could you scan my 80's picture sometime in the future and show me how to make it work on my little blog entries?
"Wasted Youth" is great.
How about:
"Youth Gone Wild"
"Let There be Rock"
"And Then There was Rock"
"Problem Child"
"I can't belive I slept with the band on the first night.."
by Kristen in accounting...
I've got it,
Rock and Roll and Revelation
Or rock and roll revelations.
"Just add Rock"
It's kind of a long name but how about:
"And if you listen very hard, the tune will come to you at last"
or
"Most of all I'd like to thank the fans..."
or
"Without you there would be no us."
Wow I am getting real deep today, must be the f@#$%ing heat.
\m/
"The Need for More Cowbell" or something even dumber like, "Hell, Ain't a Bad 'Mentary'"
Or another one I should've added to my last post is, "Us and Them"
