A Band Called Death is the story of three musician brothers, born to a Baptist preacher and his wife in 1950s Detroit. In their teenage years, the three brothers (to five other siblings) emerge as, first, a budding rock/funk band, ultimately evolving into punk band Death. Influenced by music by Alice Cooper and The Who, the group was heavily-steered by the guidance and decisions of visionary eldest brother and guitarist, David Hackney. The story follows the brothers' unsuccessful attempts to get radio airplay and a record deal, largely due to David's adamant refusal to change the name from Death. An eventual trek east finds the boys in Burlington, Vermont, living with relatives and reflecting on the failure of David's vision. We begin to explore post-Death projects in The 4th Movement, a gospel/rock band with the same line-up. However, after two years of being homesick, David returns to Detroit, leaving Dannis and Bobby to form a lively reggae band called Lambsbread. The film also focuses on the intense brotherly bond between the group members, and their personal lives, including David Hackney's battle with alcoholism, his death in 2000 and his family members' reactions to these events. The film follows the re-discovery of the group through record collectors leading to an eventual release of Death's album ...For the Whole World to See by the Drag City record label and the group's eventual reunion and touring with a new guitarist.

La tournée révolutionnaire. Les cinq membres originaux du groupe Alice Cooper filmés en direct. Le show de 1973 "Billion Dollar Babies" était la première du genre. Aucun autre groupe n'avait jamais apporté une production théâtrale plus chère et plus élaborée sur la scène rock - et en a rarement eu depuis. "Good To See You Again" a été réalisé lors de la tournée Billion Dollar Babies qui combine de superbes séquences de concert avec une histoire scandaleuse, et présente également les débuts d'acteur du groupe.
