Get Thrashed DVD

 REAL DOCUMENTARY OF AN UNSTOPPABLE ERA!!!
FIRST OFF, THIS IS NOT ONE OF THOSE LAME UNAUTHORIZED DOCUMENTARIES ABOUT THE THRASH SCENE THAT GOES NOWHERE. THIS IS THE REAL DEAL, TOLD BY THE BANDS THEMSELVES. EVERYONE WHO WAS ANYONE DURING THIS ERA IS IN THIS FILM ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. IF YOU ARE A THRASH FAN, RENT THIS DVD

 Ah, nostalgia
Very cool documentary on the birth of Thrash Metal. You won't learn much if you were lucky enough to be "there" when this incredible music movement began and reached it's peak in the 80s, but it's still cool to relive that important time in metal through the songs, interviews and mostly rare footage. If you are young or just getting into this style of music, then it's a good overview of the bands that laid the foundation and what it was like back in the scene in the mid-80s through the end of that decade. Much of the information comes from insights and stories told by the bands themselves, while current bands, such as Shadows Fall and Lamb of God, speak as fans and how the old thrash guard were big influences on them as they were growing up and decided to become metal musicians themselves. All I gotta say is "Thrash On!"

 Get disappointed
Briefly- I was somewhat disappointed by this documentary after looking forward to its release. I thought the histories of the bands were glossed over. The most annoying part of the entire documentary was the inclusion of interviews with Corey Taylor and Sully Erna. What does either of these guys have to do with thrash? I though Rat Skate's Born the Basement was much better
