Or, rather, a documentary recommendation.

Metal: A Headbanger's Journey

I'm not sure where I originally heard of it since the file I found has been sitting on my hard drive so long... but all the same. You can find the movie online.

As a warning, it's not very in-depth - more broadly considering of the whole topic. Therefore, certain genres and MAJOR bands I'm sure you know are not listed or discussed.

Also, the first couple of minutes of the movie are all WRONG with the hand gestures. If people only knew how stupid they looked to someone who grew up in a family of deaf people. If you're going to be a douchebag metal "fan", try to at least keep your thumb in check.

Similarly, a couple of those interviews/etc made me "lol". Especially the one with the guy from Gorgoroth. Granted I was laughing through the Norwegian black metal piece anyway, but holy crap... What theatrics on that guy. I'm surprised they stayed quiet through those pauses.

I totally watched "A Little Princess" and "Stardust" before that movie.

These and other reasons why I'm not accepted in the metal community. lol, again.

One Nine time.
