The better you are as an artist the worse your biopic will be. Biopics, like the worst documentaries, are ego porn. Like Paul Stanley said, The Eagles are good but do you want to see a film about them? No .
Now I would see a film about KISS, The Ramones or Fleetwood Mac. The kabuki, the fake family dynamic and the drama respectively make for great films.
I have to admit the little I know of the Eagles and the plenty I know of their longtime manager makes me think a true to life picture would be quite interesting, then again it would never happen.
