| I saw Get Thrashed a couple of years ago and liked it, but it didn't have a lot of things that I didn't already know. I think the story of Anvil was on VH1 once, but I didn't see all of it. |

Sean Dunn's (Sam Dunn?) Metal: A Headbanger's Journey and Global Metal are also quite interesting. -------------

As mentioned already Headbanger's Journey, Global Metal and This Is Spinal Tap are all essential. I'm also a huge fan of The Megadeth Documentary. It's a great look into what makes Dave tick, and there are loads of hilarious anecdotes. |

What's The Megadeth Documentary? All I know of is the Behind The Music. Is it a recent one? Also, there's that Lemmy documentary that I should make the time to see. ------------- https://armchairmaestro.com/" rel="nofollow - My Music Blog |

The Megadeth documentary is definitely interesting, but also kind of depressive - but in conjunction with Mustaine's autobiography, the Megadeth documentary becomes less negative. -------------

Oh yeah, I was looking at my documentaries and somehow totally missed them. I don't like Headbanger's journey because he's in it himself too much for my tastes, but am looking forward to his new spin off tv series. Also, that existing VH1 series that did the history of metal... what was it, Heavy - The Story Of Metal ------------- My Blog: http://kingcrimsonprog.wordpress.com/ |

I've been watching Dunn's "Metal Evolution" series on TV. I like it so far. I also enjoyed the doc. "Heavy Metal in Baghdad." |

I'm looking for some good scene/sub-genre specific docs. There's got to be some good death or black metal ones out there. Maybe grindcore too. I've already seen that Get Thrashed one for thrash metal.
I think I'll start with "Until The Light Takes Us", which I may of may not have seen before. ------------- https://armchairmaestro.com/" rel="nofollow - My Music Blog |

Damn! I thought it was going to list 66 documentaries instead of 6 . I still have to see "Heavy Metal In Baghdad" anyways.------------- https://armchairmaestro.com/" rel="nofollow - My Music Blog |

Nice. I missed an opportunity last year to see that in a theater, I'll make sure to watch it at some point |

I just watched half of it and didn�t find it neither enlightning nor very interesting. The interviews with Vard are pretty entertaining though. The guy actually has great humour. ------------- http://www.lyngby-boldklub.dk/" rel="nofollow - Forever TRUE - Forever BLUE! https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |

| Ugh! The last episode of Metal Evolution bugged me! I love Sam Dunn, but I found it annoying everytime he pronounced NWOBHM "Newobum." I didn't know anyone said that! |

I've heard that alot, the Metal Hammer podcast presenters (and Rocksound, since they shared personell) pronounce it like that. Where are you people viewing metal evolution by the way ? I haven't been able to find it. ------------- My Blog: http://kingcrimsonprog.wordpress.com/ |

| I'm watching it friday nights on MuchMoreMusic. Hehe, I started saying "newawbum" just to bug people; it's funny how many times it can actually come up in a conversation! |

I know I've heard Bruce Dickinson call it Newobum. Of course, he's not Canadian. ------------- https://armchairmaestro.com/" rel="nofollow - My Music Blog |

If Bruce says it, it's no wonder Sam does.
