AXS TV will begin premiering new episodes of its Rock Legends series on Sunday, March 5. The slate of new episodes includes features on the Grateful Dead, Santana, Pearl Jam and many more iconic musicians.

Each Sunday AXS TV will air back-to-back new episodes of Rock Legends beginning with U2 and Red Hot Chili Peppers on March 5. The following week Pearl Jam and Johnny Cash episodes will be shown. Billy Joel and Bon Jovi will be the focus of Rock Legends on March 19 and Phil Collins and Radiohead will be profiled on March 26.

On April 2 AXS TV will premiere episodes on the Beastie Boys and Green Day and the following week it will air Dusty Springfield and Genesis episodes. On April 16 Rock Legends will center on Jefferson Airplane and Santana and the current run of new episodes will conclude on April 23 with the Grateful Dead and Creedence Clearwater Revival.

Each 30-minute episode of Rock Legends relies on interviews, archival footage and live performances to detail the cultural impact of the artist being presented. Previous episodes have examined David Bowie, Janis Joplin, The Velvet Underground, Stevie Wonder, Jimi Hendrix and several others.

    Big Johnny Cash fan. Too bad the boys never collaborated anything with him.

    Judging by the Eric Clapton episode this is gonna be pretty underwhelming. They do pay to license the actual music, but it's pretty soft content wise and even used a few kinda tall tale/legend type stories as fact.

    Agree, just watched last week's U2 and RHCP episodes. If PJ is the same, guessing there's almost no footage or tales that are new to anyone here. At least cool that there is a network running stuff like this though. I remember watching VH1 Legends when I was younger and loved seeing footage of old bands before my time, maybe this series can do the same for younger fans.
    No time to be void or save up on life, you gotta spend it all.

    This PJ one isn't new, it's the old one from VH1 Classics. The one one tonight first aired on 9/23/14.

    Don't remember Rock Legends on VH1 Classics. And it would've been mentioned many times at the time.
