A rising music group on the brink of success…but one member has a problem that’s out of control and jeopardizes the band’s shot at stardom. From drinking and drugs to explosive tempers, violent outbursts and depression, each episode of “Fuse Rock Bottom” explores an up-and-coming band with an issue that is affecting everyone and tearing the group apart. With the help of an intervention specialist, each group must try to save their band and the life of their troubled band mate, by staging an intervention and confronting him with an ultimatum - clean up your act or be replaced. After 30 days, the band must decide between their troubled friend and a talented newcomer waiting in the wings.

A momentous moment in Pop music history:
Ahead of the MTV Video Music Awards, their supporters discuss the question with vigor, as to which band is actually the more incredible. There is talk of Tokio Hotel, the most successful German rock band, and the Jonas Brothers, currently America’s greatest pop band. At this year’s VMA awards on September 7th in L.A., they came together in the category “Best Pop Video”, further stoking up the discussion from supporters of both bands. And the question on everybody’s lips – does this translate to competition between the two bands themselves? The truth is there is nothing of the sort, quite the opposite. Tokio Hotel (who won the MTV VMA category “Best New Artist”) and Jonas Brothers have one thing in common: while Tokio Hotel are currently superstars in Europe who are successfully capturing great attention and fans across the United States, the superstars from America, Jonas Brothers, have planned to conquer Europe. No wonder the guys had a lot of things to tell each other, when they met shortly before the MTV VMAs in New York. They got along great and shared a lot of experiences – and for sure there will be more, next time they meet each other.
