A diabetic, Bret's self indulgence took its toll, but not even collapsing on stage could slow him down. Drugs, booze, women and more women - anything and everything happened. Living fast and partying hard, Bret took decadence to a new level. It was the 80's, hair metal was thriving and Poison soon exploded onto the scene. It's about five "brothers" whose experience was unmatched by anyone else in history.īret Michaels and his band of brothers left home in Pennsylvania with a rock-n-roll dream and a desire to taste the good life on L.A's notorious Sunset Strip. Thru rare archival images and modern day verite footage, intercut with interviews from all five band members, their enterprising producer, and the people closest to them throughout their career, this hour long documentary will take viewers on a wild ride "behind the music." This isn't just another reunion show. VH1, in association with Allentown productions, will trace the history of New Kids On The Block while also documenting their inspired 2008 reunion. Combined with the changing music climate and the ever-escalating pressures of being international superstars, the group was pushed to an unexpected breakup.īut what if they could do it all over again? What if they're given the opportunity to do it their own way - unlike before? Is that brotherhood bond still strong enough? Do they still have what it takes? However, the whirlwind of exploitation soon surrounded the New Kids.

Their success set a new standard for many, many imitators to follow. With each airplay the "New Kids" sold more merchandise and concert tickets than virtually any other musical act. But overnight, "Hangin' Tough" sales catapulted the five young teens into superstardom. In 1988, when the New Kids On The Block's second album "Hangin' Tough" was released, there were very few acts that equaled the success of The Beatles or Michael Jackson.
