I just saw an ad for it (but can't remember where) and will definitely take a look (might rent it from Netflix). I like thrash a lot.

Never heard of that one. I did watch Metal - A Headbanger's Journey that also came out in 2006

just seen this, and highly recommend it. History told by the bands who where there at the time, and a bit of an eye opener for those who maybe didn`t already know the history of thrash. Mustaine credited as the creator of thrash (yer he says so himself but then he wouldn`t be Dave otherwise, right?) by the big bands of the day.

Films split into several parts, first half covers West Coast, specifically Bay Area, next quarter East Coast and NY, small part on crossover, then onto Euro thrash. Ends on the death of thrash, and the rise of nu/new metal and how thrash is making a comeback back to its roots and underground.

Good watch, think most will enjoy this.

Nice review wibble, think I'll check it out.

thx

[Danno]

Thanks wibble for the info. I was curious as to how much it would get into the European scene. Can't wait.

[wibble]

Euro scene is sadly lacking, theres a shout out to the likes of Kreator, Celtic Frost & Destruction, and a small mention for canadian thrash ala Voivod, Annihilator etc. Docu mainly focuses on Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Anthrax, Suicidial Tendencies & Exodus for obvious reasons, tho theres alot of interviews with other band members both old and new.

Oh forgot to mention, theres a shitload of old jackson/charvels shown in concert footage and a few nice BCR`s too. Worth watching for those alone

yeah its a pretty good video from what i've seen. i watched about 20 mins of it. and tho it says it features all these bands, from what i could tell some are just quick interviews, like couple mins talkin to cory taylor and couple mins talkin to gene hoglan. not as much footage as i was expecting, but like i said i only saw some of it. my singer had it and we watched a little before practice. i shoulda taken it home and finished it.

Cory Taylor? What's he got to do with thrash?

nothing and neither does that guy from godsmack ,but theyre in the video talkin bout how thrash influenced them and what not. i know, that doesnt sound like a good video huh? bobby blitz is on it if thats any consolation.

Or we could actually invest time checking and exploring awesome new metal ..instead of waiting for a compliation of known people talking about bands we already know...
