Watching part 1 now. Do they ever get around to the fact that before he was a G thing, Dr. Dre was a she thing?

I lol'd, although in reality it's pretty much the same 2-3 politics posters who keep getting banned and coming back with new socks.

Also, Jimmy was an Italian catholic right?

I didn't even recognize Trent in the interview. He can look and talk like a normal person.

Family man. Never would have guessed it. Been married for 8 yrs. This isn't the best picture of her, but his wife is pretty hot.

Loved the series.

NIN is one of my top 5 rock bands ever. Trent is a great interview. Very intelligent and funny at times.

He's been pretty healthy for years now. A couple tours ago he was straight up jacked.

Dr. Dre talked a lot about how hard he worked to make Beats the best sounding headphones in the world. I've never heard them but all I've heard and read about them is that they are actually NOT very good sounding, they just have a lot of bass and are marketed well.

two episodes in. Well shot and edited. Liked the Tom Petty / Stevie Nicks stuff. Holy hell Patti Smith was/is one unattractive woman.

They do sound good, but only if your preference is more of a bass heavy balance.

I probably only know what Beats are because they got so many athletes to wear them. I wonder how many free sets they gave away to get them on TV.

They are kind of like Yeti coolers. There are better products out there, but they had superb marketing, and were the first "Luxury" version of the product. the Bose headphones that were popular before weren't so much about having great headphones, but rather not being able to hear anyone else.

Beats are good, you can usually just get something as good for less from another brand that isn't all about image and thus spends a lot of their budget on marketing. Kind of like Apple computers.

I had always heard that Beats were really good before Monster got involved, but this documentary makes it sounds like Monster was always involved, so my sources suck.

And how does Apple ever justify giving them $3 billion? Why not stop at 1 or 2 billion? How many freakin headphones do you have to sell before you see any ROI?
I would guess 20 million headphones would cover it.

But I doubt they put up that much cash. And now they have Dre and Iovine working at Apple Music.


Duncan,
Your statement was offensive and insensitive. Jimmy Iovine is Italian.
Beats controls 40% of the headphones market now. I'd say they probably already made their money back. Not to mention they are in phones, computers, tablets etc as well. So the licensing has a lot of value too.

Iovine is Italian American who is also Jewish. He also loves Christmas so much that he put out "A Very Special Christmas" album to honor of his father who passed during the holiday season. All the albums proceeds went to (and continue to go to) the Special Olympics.

Just finished watching this. Amazing. Iovine and Dre are both geniuses. Marketing. Music. Culture. Everything. They are one of those perfect entertainment marriages that defines a generation.

Didn't the deal also include the beats streaming service that became apples play in that market?
yes.

it wasn't just buying a headphone business.

I guess I had known Iovine had been involved with Petty and others, but I wasn't aware he was as instrumentally involved. I first probably became aware of him via someone like Dre or Eminem maybe...or maybe a Rolling Stone article from that era.

I'd love to see the second season of" tales from the tour bus" being "tales from the production box" and have stories from Rick Rubin, Jimmy Iovine, and the rest of the producers behind the great artists.
