Should be good, I hear they talk a lot about Death Metal and Black Metal.




toggletoggle post by dugnli at Sep 9,2006 7:54pm
I watched it on VH1 Classics last night. Very good indeed.



toggletoggle post by ZJD   at Sep 9,2006 7:56pm
Could be, but have you seen VH1's other installments of the story of metal docuthing? Top 100 hard rock/metal bands ever? When metal ruled the world?

I'll probably watch, but I'm pretty sure VH1 doesn't know much about metal, and I wouldn't be surprised if they lumped Slipknot and At the Gates into the same category.

This isn't a VH1 Production though, they are just showing the documentary movie.



toggletoggle post by ZJD   at Sep 9,2006 8:59pm
Oh. In that case, awesome, and I can still say VH1 knows nothing.



toggletoggle post by vomitthesoul  at Sep 9,2006 9:12pm

I want to tape it



toggletoggle post by Dankill at Sep 9,2006 9:50pm
I heard some things about turning the Celtic Frost book into a movie. THAT would be interesting.



toggletoggle post by AUTOPSY_666   at Sep 9,2006 9:58pm
METALLICA were only relevant in the 80's and everyone knows them anyway, fuck them.



toggletoggle post by vomitthesoul  at Sep 9,2006 10:14pm
Man that was weak.I just turned it off.Im all set with watching anymore.Glam aint Metal.I wanna see a documentary thats about the underground scence



toggletoggle post by CNV at Sep 9,2006 10:17pm
I thought the Mayhem interview was pretty funny



toggletoggle post by AUTOPSY_666   at Sep 9,2006 10:36pm
The stuff with GORGOROTH, HADES ALMIGHTY and BURZUM was great.

yeah, the Gorgoroth one was great



toggletoggle post by CNV at Sep 9,2006 10:40pm
I think this a great documentary

I do not understand why people on this board are crying about Metallica not being on there

We all already know the story of metallica, why the fuck do we need to heard it for the billionth time



toggletoggle post by AUTOPSY_666   at Sep 9,2006 10:44pm
AUTOPSY!



toggletoggle post by Abbath at Sep 9,2006 11:03pm
bah! i bought this dvd months ago, the special features are killer, longer interviews and they added an extra 30 minute segment about black metal



toggletoggle post by AUTOPSY_666   at Sep 9,2006 11:13pm
I might get the DVD.



toggletoggle post by paganmegnli at Sep 9,2006 11:18pm
Are they going to reshow it anytime soon?

well they showed it on VH1 classic last night and tonigh on VH1, you know how they are.... they'll show it until it's unwatchable



toggletoggle post by ZJD   at Sep 9,2006 11:28pm
They'll probably reshow it a bunch over the next few weeks at least. Vh1 replays their own metal docuthings all the time, I'm sure this won't be different.

Also, I liked it and thought all the black metal parts were hilarious. "What's the biggest influence on Gorgoroth's music?" "......Satan" :sips wine: Har har har!



toggletoggle post by AUTOPSY_666   at Sep 10,2006 1:43am
It's on again now.



toggletoggle post by the_reverend   at Sep 10,2006 1:44am
yep, watching it.



toggletoggle post by the_reverend   at Sep 10,2006 2:23am
the venom footage rules.



toggletoggle post by ArilliusBM  at Sep 10,2006 2:35am
hahahahah.

Did anyone see the short interview with Gaahl (Gorgoroth)?



toggletoggle post by mostahthat at Sep 10,2006 2:42am
did anyone see the mafia kiddie porn on limewire?



toggletoggle post by AUTOPSY_666   at Sep 10,2006 2:45am
I like the church burning, we need a hell of a lot more of that in the USA.

This was pretty fun, I had some problems with the guy's perspective but I went and saw it at the Coolidge and it was just cool to see and hear some of those guys on a big screen. I thought the guy seemed to have a bit of agenda with trying to make metal and the metal scene more palatable to a mainstream audience, like as if he was trying to say "look guys, they're not really so bad, it's just about having fun and anyone who says otherwise is sort of just a fringe nutjob."

Personally, not to sound too Infoterror here but I think that metal (all rock'n'roll actually, it has nothing to do with the "extremity" of the music) DOES have a very real subversive side to it, hiding right under all the superficial posturing but for whatever reason, the filmmaker really didn't want to go there. It just seemed very defensive, and that really rubbed me the wrong way...anybody else see that or am I just nuts?



toggletoggle post by Troll at Sep 10,2006 7:51am
....Not to mention Cannibal Corpse had nothing intelligent to say in defense of Death Metal's imagery and lyrics. Hence, Death Metal cannot be taken seriously.
I did like the Gaahl interview he seems very intense. He's got a lot of hate inside. I think if he had anymore of that wine we would have heard some pretty interesting stuff, he seemed like he was holding alot back. Oh and of course there is the shit we don't see due to editing.


Me needs more coffee



toggletoggle post by rotivore at Sep 10,2006 9:47am
when I turned it on it was at the black metal segment, did have a grindcore segment? I got to watch the whole thing. yes the gorgoroth interview was bonechilling. that guy has hate on the mind



toggletoggle post by litacore   at Sep 10,2006 10:33am
heh, yeah just ask the guy he ritually fucked up at some party in Norway (I forget what he did exactly, but there was blood letting of some kind)



toggletoggle post by Kevord  at Sep 10,2006 11:11am
It's on again today at 1P.M. if anyone missed it.

He made it clear in the film that he was looking at the genre from a sociological perspective and he wanted to know why the general public hates it so much

I personally liked the way he went about it

ya in 2004 Gaahl went to court on charges of "torture lasting several hours" on a 41 year old man, he only went to jail for for months! gotta love the court system!

I just watched it. It was more interesting than I thought it would be. I'm going to make a separate post so I can type up and prepare my long response composed of my reaction towards the documentary as well as my own thoughts and theories about metal. Here we go....



toggletoggle post by menstrual_sweatpants_disco   at Sep 10,2006 11:06pm
...metal is fucking stupid.

Metal = great music for idiots that don't deserve it.

i've really grown to hate the word metal.
