The good news is this is a DVD I highly recomend plus I'M IN IT being interviewed!It also includes alot of my footage I've shot over the years wich is gratouitusly used in this.
The bad news is I had no idea that this had been released yet & the producers promised to pay me for the use of my footage!I stumbled across it browsing through Amoeba Records the other day.
I did this stuff almost a year ago.I was wondering what was going on & why we haven't heard from them & now I'm kind of ticked as I was offered a substantial amount of money & now it's released with out my knowing & I didn't even get a couple free copies!
On the plus side it's a well done documentary critcal review of all their albums.I'm honored I'm featured along side Malcom Dome one of the foremost authorites on Heavy Metal!
My bros in bay area thrashers Heathen are interviewed as well as bay area photographer Harold O.(bass player for D.R.I.)
myslef and all the music critics are seen talking fondly of all the Metallica albums up to the black album.Alot of you Maiden fans will be pissed at my comment on "Kill 'em All" as I said the record was so Heavy It made Iron Maiden sound like the Bee Gees,and I'm sorry but it was TRUE!
Me and the other critics are all in agreement on Load,Reload & St. Anger basicly sucking.I was a bit suprised.I said some brutal stuff that didn't make the cut.I was concerened about consequences of some of the comments I made but it looks like myslef & these other professioanl rock critics were unanimous in our opinions.
I'm in another unauthorized Metallica documenatry that was callled "Dark Souls" but I think it's been rereleased under another title.I'm credited as co producer & again alot of my footage & photos re used in it.Those guys told me up front their budget only covered their travel expenses from England(the newer one I'm talking about is from a british based company also) I gladly did that DVD & donated stuff for free(not to mention it was free publicity!)I would've done the same thing for these guys also but they offered money up front to use our footage.I was even paid for my interview wich was cool(like $200) but if they'yre offering money but then go & release this behind my back with out conatcting me,that's pretty FUCKED UP!!
