Has everyone seen it yet?
I watched it last night on PPV. It's good in that he at least explores some of the extreme genres, travels to Wacken and Norway etc. That said, there are parts of it that seem to leave it 'open ended'.
For example, he explores most of the major sub-genres, but completely dismisses DOOM. I find it very odd, considering the effort he's put into his metal 'family tree'. So for example, he'll list Hammerfall and Primal Fear, but no genere discussion around bands like My Dying Bride or Katatonia?
Also, WAY too much time spent on fucking Slipknot? How do they qualify above other bands? And the 14 year old girl he interviews insists on her identity and love for metal....and she turns out to be a Slipknot fan. Jeebus.
Otherwise, it's good -- mostly for beginners though I'd say. The obvious candidates are interviewed with the obvious questions. Iommi talks about the early days of Sabbath, Dio talks about "giving someone the evil eye" with those horns. Gorgoroth talk about burning churches.
Not bad.
