Kind of a parallel to this is when Henry Rollins sang for the Ruts - another band whose singer OD'd at the beginning of the 80s - but he wasn't onstage in the role of Malcolm Owen, he was just singing the songs, and I have no problem with that (in fact I kinda wish I'd gone to that gig).

wow What We Do Is Secret is shamefully, hilariously bad. possibly the worst "rock biopic" I've ever seen.

Oh come on, it's certainly better than the Def Leppard biopic that VH-1 put together (the one with Anthony Michael Hall as Mutt Lange).

but both the Chips and Quincy punk rock episodes are far better (and less tedious than What We Do...)

WWDIS is a miracle of poor construction, it doesn't even really have scenes or characters - it follows this weird model of a talking head says something happened > show that thing happening for 10 seconds > brief music interlude > on to next thing.

Agree that the Def Leppard movie is great. There is a lot of subtlety in it, and it's really fun to watch. No, I'm not being sarcastic.
