Behind the Life of Chris Gaines (1999)
Directed by Christopher Meindl, Michael McNamara
Overview
To promote the release of his album Garth Brooks in… The Life of Chris Gaines, Garth Brooks appeared as Chris Gaines in a television “mockumentary,” a version of VH1’s seminal cable classic Behind the Music, featuring a totally made-up tale that just may be the greatest rock n’ roll documentary ever made. This piece of art has everything that makes the story of being a rockstar fucking cool. It has childhood trauma, record label trauma, death, disfigurement, a plane crash, a car crash, sex addiction, redemption, a house fire, random unexplained commentary from Billy Joel, and more sex addiction.
