Well, I watched it. It was a pretty crappy documentary, if it was even supposed to be that. The only real metal guys on it were Mustaine, Lemmy, and Cooper.
I was hoping it was going to be a more historical documentary. There's plenty to talk about when it comes to the rise and fall of metal. They could have talked about how Eddie Van Halen, Randy Rhoads, and Yngwie Malmsteen helped introduce more complex guitar work into hard rock/heavy metal. They could have talked about the start of thrash metal in San Francisco to counter the L.A. based glam metal.
Instead, we get a bunch of choads in makeup. Oh well.

10 minutes? Maybe after my nap.
it's ten parts about 7 minutes a part.
don't watch it please, therefore we will not have to discuss it.
It is not supposed to be a all encompassing biographry on the genre, but on the sunset strip glam side of metal.
and i think metalheads are fond of revising history to distance
themselves from glam cack rock...face it bro, posion/odin/kiss/and all those other choads with makeup are as much metal as eddie van halen or mr.rhoads
you can't hang in a metal discussion, kiddo.
this will be an unflattering one if we had it
the metal underbelly that you try to claim
to hate.
but i know this was once you

You can't watch movies like this in 2010 - you have to watch it during it's time. It's like watching Grunge movies now or Disco movies. Everything always looks silly later on. All depends on what's in style right now - in 2020 we'll be laughing at affliction shirts, uggs boots, jersey shore and listening to lady gaga. 
Music back then will never be equaled sadly

Um, that's not metal. You could've at least done something with Metallica/Pantera/Slayer or something.
THIS is a metal documentary. I've never been a huge Gorgoroth fan, but it'd a pretty good movie that pays homage to black metal's roots. And this documentary shows why people like me and Puds cringe when people like you talk about "metal".

Unf,. this "metal" isn't sellable to the masses. I have tons of friends who play this kind of "metal" and play in front of 22 people at the bar every weekend earning $11.
80s metal was metal at it's time and unlike today's metal, made record companies MILLIONS. Heck, guns and roses paid off all of geffen's debt.

I don't see the relevance of your first sentence. Music isn't music unless it makes millions?
Like you said, this isn't the '80s. Things change.

Oh I know that, and it doesn't bother me. I actually don't mind a glam metal song every now and then.
That might be your 1986, not mine though. Never cared for J Priest.
'86 was a huge turning point for metal. This band along with a few others paved the way for the brutal onslaught to come.

if ur making a living at it - then yes.
as for 'metal' the concept of what's 'metal' has kept changing from the shores of england in the 70's, to glam to gnr to grunge metal to rap metal to nu metal to today's xxxcore. Who knows what it'll be tomorrow. What matters is GOOD music not "labels".
People don't buy labels, they buy GOOD music.

I thought I wanted a career in the music industry, got my shot back in the 90's. Realized pretty quick what an ugly industry it is.

I also thought I wanted to have a career as a guitarist. I wasn't really even looking at bands, I was mainly trying to get in as a session player.
A few years ago, I almost had the chance to go to Nashville and do some work with some fairly well known country artists (I didn't really know them, because I don't listen to it, but whatevs). It didn't work out though. They chose another guy who lived in Nashville. I don't really blame them.
For the record, I am a better guitarist than the guy they picked.

it was an interesting look at the 80s metal scene.
i was hoping you were intelligent enough to comment on it, and not be a smug musical academic dbag.

Are you an alt pretending to be Gambino? When have I ever talked about '80s glam rock or hair bands??
To be fair, I really don't know music outside of death/black/power metal and some classic US stuff. The '80s, to me, was Venom, Bathory, Slayer, Morbid Angle, Destruction, Sodom, Voivod, Kreator, Megadeth, Metallica... stuff like that. Hell, my parents didn't have cable back then, and I never even saw a live episode of MTV or any of that stuff.
In short, no, I'm neither knowlegable nor intelligent enough to discuss this kinda stuff.
But I will take this chance to plug the GREATEST METAL BAND OF THE WORLD, MANOWAR!!!!!!!!!!!! FUCK THE WORLD!! HAIL AND KILL!!!
