Season 1 of Roadies
Cameron Crowe's tv series about roadies is going ahead. It's filming in 2016 and will be shown towards the end of 2016.
Quote:
Created by Crowe, Roadies is an insider’s look at the reckless, romantic, funny and often poignant lives of a committed group of “roadies” who live for music and the de facto family they’ve formed along the way. The series chronicles the rock world through the eyes of music’s unsung heroes and puts the spotlight on the backstage workers who put the show on the road while touring the United States for the successful arena-level group, The Staton-House Band. Kelly Curtis, Pearl Jam’s manager and a regular collaborator with Crowe, is also on board as producer and music supervisor.

Re: Almost Famous
I'm treating this as a Cameron Crowe thread, as his new show, "Roadies" will be out soon. Here's something about the preview:
Quote:
Mingling with the cast was none other than music titan manager Irving Azoff, who is one of the consultants on the show. Irving, who is known never to mince words, told me that show was, “Amazing, simply terrific. Cameron is just brilliant. Happy to be a part of this.” Azoff’s wife, the powerhouse Shelli, was with him and it’s not just a coincidence that Carla Gugino’s character, the tough lady of the road tour, is also smartly named Shelli.

Re: Almost Famous
Wasn't this the show Cameron Crowe was talking about having Glenn in there or guest starred?
-
Re: Almost Famous
OK. Found the article about Cameron casting Glenn in this show. Too bad it didn't happen. :cry:

Yes, he wanted Glenn to play the manager, "Preston". However, I can't see a character called "Preston" in the character list at imdb.
If you're in the US, the first episode is available to watch (legitimately) online.

Also, the actor who plays the tour manager, researched the role by talking to the Eagles road manager and the Fleetwood Mac road manager.

Re: Almost Famous
I've been thinking of checking out this show since I love Cameron's movies, I like some of the actors in it, and I knew he was wanting Glenn to play the band's manager. IMDB usually isn't updated accurately till the press releases for each episode comes out or after it airs, but it's possible Cameron changed the character's name too. I do know Cameron's got a lot of musicians guest starring including Lindsey Buckingham as himself.

Re: Almost Famous
Ooh! Lindsey B. is going to be a tv? Where and when?
-
Re: Almost Famous
Not sure which episode it is yet NMB. "Roadies" does premiere on Showtime on the 26th and it'll be a 10 episode season, so hopefully we'll find out more soon.

"Preston" is mentioned in one of the preview clips. I wonder if he's a character that people talk about but who never appears on-screen. It has me thinking of Cameron's description of his first meeting with the Eagles an how Glenn wasn't there but his name kept coming up and finally, Glenn swept into the room. With "Roadies", the idea may have been to have "Preston" as an absent character that everyone talks about but we don't see for weeks and then he finally turns up and it's.... Glenn Frey!

Re: Almost Famous
Oh cr*p, it's premium cable. I'll have to wait for the DVD.
P.S. I never saw Lindsey on SNL either. Apparently he once made an appearance as a guest on "What's Up with That?"
-
Re: Almost Famous
UTW, that would've been a great idea and I would've loved that. Would fit too with how it seems like now Cameron's based a character off of Glenn in almost every movie he's made. We knew about Russell in "Almost Famous", then Glenn played the coach character in "Jerry Maguire", and Cameron confirmed he based Mike Damone in "Fast Times" off Glenn in that tribute article in Rolling Stone and I now wonder about "Say Anything" (as it's my favorite of Cameron's movies). It will be interesting to see if they did choose a different actor or if that character will still be just spoken off but not shown.
We lucked out with a couple months free of Showtime since we had a technical issue with our tv company, so I can watch most of the season. Our free trial does end in August so I think I won't get to watch the final 2 or 3 episodes till a DVD release but I'm hoping Lindsey's episode is still while we have it.

Re: Almost Famous
"Roadies" did recast Preston with Brian Benben. He debuted in the 2nd episode and looks to be recurring from the trailer I saw for the rest of the season. Lindsey was also in the trailer but still don't know when his episode airs yet. The show's not too bad but it doesn't have the same feel as Cameron's movies.
-
Re: Lindsey Buckingham
Lindsey is guest starring on Showtime's series Roadies tomorrow, and his live performance of "Big Love" will be featured on its soundtrack.
See a preview here:
http://zap2it.com/2016/07/roadies-fl...d-to-love-her/
ETA: "Big Love" again. Sigh. However, I hear on the Mac fanboards that there will be a lot of other songs featured on the show, including instrumental versions of rarities like "Think About Me."
-
Re: Lindsey Buckingham
I've just found out that Roadies is available with Amazon Prime UK (included in the subscription).
-
Re: Lindsey Buckingham
In the US, you have to have a Showtime subscription to watch it. You can't even pay to watch an individual episode; you have to purchase the entire subscription wholesale even if you just want to see one thing.
And they wonder why people look for "alternate" sources...
-
Re: Lindsey Buckingham
I'm glad it's tonight's episode and we're luckily getting a free preview of Showtime till the end of next month so I can see it. I watched the other 2 eps and while I've loved most of Cameron's movies it just doesn't feel the same with the show even though I like some of the cast. Will watch tonight but probably won't after that.

Season 1 of Roadies
I just saw this on facebook.
If you have Showtime, Glenn's daughter Taylor is on this week's episode of Roadies. Also Lindsey is in this episode too. The episode is called The Bryce Newman Letter. Her character name is Cassie. She's the love interest of Luke Wilson's character.
That was a surprised. I usually record this show, but I probably wouldn't had known that was Taylor when I was watching.
I saw the debut of the character Preston. I could definitely see Glenn in this role. The character wasn't on tonight's episode that much. One scene and that was it. Now Lindsey had a lot of air time.
Here's a post from Twitter.

Re: Glenn's daughter, Taylor guest starred on tonight's episode of Roadies
I've just watched it and I'm not sure what to say. I wish I hadn't known who it was before I watched because then I could have seen it without thoughts of "Does she look like her mother or her father?"
She acquitted herself well - warm and natural - and doesn't come across as awkward stunt-casting. It seems wrong to be so focused on how she looks, but this wasn't a part that allowed for range of acting. I was looking forward to seeing more of her later in the show, in part, to see if the camera loves her. That's because lookwise she's not a conventional "pretty girl", she's more interesting than that. She has a great smile, like her mother, but the angles of her face show something of her father. I wanted to see if it worked on screen.
It's a cable show and Taylor provide this week's nudity quotient. It's tastefully shot.
"Preston" makes his second brief appearance. It's a part Glenn could have played but a bit "meh" without that frission of it being a cameo by a big name. Glenn would have done more for the part than the part would have done for him.

Re: Glenn's daughter, Taylor guest starred on tonight's episode of Roadies
OMG Cassie was Taylor!!!! :o I had no idea that was her. I actually really liked her character and kept thinking the actress playing her looked familiar but I thought it was an actress I've seen on another TV show/movie. She did really well (especially since I thought it was an actress I'd seen before) and I liked her scenes with Luke Wilson, and especially at the end of the episode because it felt somewhat like that iconic scene from Cameron's "Say Anything". LOL
Lindsey did really great too in his scenes. I've been having issues with the show as it wasn't living up to my expectations with me loving most of Cameron's films, but last night's wasn't too bad. I do like Luke, Carla, Imogen, and Rafe in the cast but still don't think it's enough for me to keep watching. I agree I could've seen Glenn as Preston too.

Re: Glenn's daughter, Taylor guest starred on tonight's episode of Roadies
I've been watching this show since it started, but I don't remember the character Cassie. So I have to go back to watch the other two episodes. Like I said. If I didn't see the post about Taylor being in last night's episode, I wouldn't had known that was her. I had recorded last night's episode and I was going to watch it later like I've been doing the other episodes. I end up watching the episode once it ended.
As who she looks like. No doubt about it she looks like Cindy. I always loved her eyes. They are soo pretty.
Lindsey did a great job. He was soo funny. He really did have a lot of scenes. I didn't expect him in a lot of scenes. I didn't know Lindsey was so short. How tall is he?
But yesterday's episode I really liked. They had me laughing especially Bryce Newman. I agree. I'm not really enjoying the show. Its kinda boring, but I can't stop watching it. :hilarious:

Re: Glenn's daughter, Taylor guest starred on tonight's episode of Roadies
I think Lindsey's official height is 5'10"
-
Re: Glenn's daughter, Taylor guest starred on tonight's episode of Roadies
I don't suppose that this episode is or will be available for free viewing online? I don't have any cable or satellite. I have the 6 month trial version of Amazon Student Prime, but it doesn't include Amazon Prime Video.
-
Re: Glenn's daughter, Taylor guest starred on tonight's episode of Roadies
Is Taylor in all three episodes? I was only planning on obtaining the third one for Lindsey but if she is, I'll get them all.
ETA: IMDB only lists her as appearing on this one, but I'll take the word of those who've seen it over that.

Re: Lindsey Buckingham
How brave of Lindsey to be making his acting debut at...what, 66? Good for him. People said he did a good job and was funny.
-
Re: Lindsey Buckingham
I didn't know that was Lindsey's acting debut. He did great. Like I said in the other thread, he had a lot of scenes. Not just one scene and that's it. I think it was like 5 or 6 scenes.
The scene with the guy who played Bryce Newman was hilarious. Poor Lindsey. He thought the guy was crazy which actually he was because of something he drank.
-
Re: Lindsey Buckingham
I posted in the other thread too but I agree Lindsey was great!!! :D I laughed during a few of the scenes too, especially with Rainn Wilson. I liked that he was supposed to be friends with Luke Wilson's character too. Hard to believe Lindsey's never acted before since he was good.
-
Re: Glenn's daughter, Taylor guest starred on tonight's episode of Roadies
So far she's only been in episode 3. I can't remember if Cassie might've been mentioned though in the first two episodes as it seems like Luke's character Bill and her have been on/off for the past couple years. She could appear later in the season as it seemed like with her final scene it could be hinting at more since Imogen's character Kelly Ann encouraged Bill to try to continue things with Cassie, and whomever is updating IMDB is only doing it close to when each episode airs or the day after.
It might eventually be on DVD or Netflix. They've done that with Showtime shows in the past. Of course it also depends if it gets renewed or not, but do know the ratings aren't that good.

Re: Glenn's daughter, Taylor guest starred on tonight's episode of Roadies
Showtime are offering a free 7-day subscription through Amazon.com (probably US only).

Re: Glenn's daughter, Taylor guest starred on tonight's episode of Roadies
It was nice to see Taylor in there. I guess Taylor got bitten by the acting bug. Looking on IMDB, she starred in two other things, but of course. It looked like small parts.
She wasn't bad. I just wish she had more scenes.

Re: Glenn's daughter, Taylor guest starred on tonight's episode of Roadies
Well, you can watch it on Putlocker.is, but you need to install an adblocker on your internet browser to access it. You can use it w/o one, but it's annoying b/c there are pop-ups every time you press play/pause or skip to a different part. I've been using the website for over a year now on occasion and I haven't run into any problems w/ my PC while using an adblocker. Also, as you can tell by its nature, it's not the most legal website, but it hasn't been shut down yet. I like it better than torrents as long as you use an Adblocker. Honestly, I just use it if I'm too lazy to drive to my local library for movies. I only have Netflix by mail, not the streaming.

Re: Glenn's daughter, Taylor guest starred on tonight's episode of Roadies
I'm re-watching the episode. For those who saw the episode, did anybody notice Preston brought up Irving's name? I don't know how I missed that.
-
Re: Glenn's daughter, Taylor guest starred on tonight's episode of Roadies
I totally missed that about Irving too. LOL I did notice too that during Bill and Cassie's text messages/her seeing him through the window at the end Bill gave her a nickname and it brought to mind how Cameron himself has talked about how Glenn was always giving people nicknames.
I checked out her IMDB page too and that's interesting she had an extra role in Cate Blanchet's film "Carol" as that was up for some Oscars back in February. It'll be interesting to see if Taylor sticks with it as I thought she was good.
-
Re: Glenn's daughter, Taylor guest starred on tonight's episode of Roadies
:hmm: - I gonna have to figure out how to see this. I may just check out the Showtime trial offer, but I don't want it past the trial so I'll have to make sure I can cancel after the trial period.
And thanks everyone for your comments - they convinced me that I definitely need to see this.
-
Re: Glenn's daughter, Taylor guest starred on tonight's episode of Roadies
IABAD. I've been watching this show since the beginning. I think this was the best episode of the three. I found the other episodes kinda boring, but I doubt I will stop watching it.
-
Re: Glenn's daughter, Taylor guest starred on tonight's episode of Roadies
Taylor studied drama at NYU.
-
Re: Glenn's daughter, Taylor guest starred on tonight's episode of Roadies
I would like to see it too, but don't have Showtime. Boo!
-
Re: Glenn's daughter, Taylor guest starred on tonight's episode of Roadies
I think I am going to stick with it now and mostly because I'm curious if Taylor is going to come back but also became I'm shipping Imogene and Rafe's characters so I want to see where that goes. LOL I'm a huge TV watcher anyway so I've been wondering where Cameron is going to take Luke & Carla's characters since it's been hinted that there is something going on between them even if they don't realize it. It's another reason I think Taylor's character Cassie might be back since they did cast Carla's character's husband who will appear later this season and obviously they are going for a love triangle/quadrangle if they do bring back Cassie and she's the only one we've seen so far that Luke's character Bill has actual feelings for. But that's the writer talking in me as that's what I would do. LOL :)

Re: Favorite TV Shows
I'm so glad I decided to stick with "Roadies" as last night's episode was their best!!! :D That felt so much like Cameron's movies and reminded me again why I love his movies and how he writes relationships whether it's romantic, familial, or friendships. I realized this show needed more drama to fit it's dramaedy format and last night's ep did it. And also focused a lot on the possible romantic relationships between Kelly Ann and Reg, as well as Bill and Shelli, but also various friendships between the characters. Noticed a difference with last week's ep and Glenn's daughter Taylor guest starting as Bill's on/off girlfriend and Lindsey Buckingham giving advice to Bill, so hopefully it's taking a turn in the right direction with these past two eps and the rest of the season. :)
Also, I'm loving Netflix's new 80s set show "Stranger Things"!!! :D It's such a great homage to Steven Spielberg's movies and Stephen King's stories and love the cast, especially the child actors. Plus find it so funny how I currently watch 3 80s set shows with his, "Halt & Catch Fire", and "Dead of Summer", and I know there are at least 6 shows total that take place then. So weird my decade of birth is now considered a period drama. LOL :razz:
