Did you “enjoy” The Monster That Challenged The World? hehe
Monster is an old favorite from my childhood. It was the first time i’d seen it in many years, Joachim.
What exactly does “Metal: A Headbanger’s Journey” cover? Is it like that “Decline of Western Civilization” movie from 20 years back?
Sam Dunn was, at the time, thirty-one years old, a metal fan since the age of twelve. With a degree in anthropology, he decided to study metal fans around the world in a documentary to see what attracted them to a music form so universally reviled by older folks. He touches a bit on the various sub-genre of the music form lightly, with a more in-depth look at some of the major branches. Traveling all over the world, from Norway to the States. he covered a lot of territory for an interesting look at the world to this admittedly aged headbanger.
Cool. The mid-’90s were a weird time for Metal –lots of death metal and grunge with hair bands trying to become Nirvana overnight (or should that be “over-nite?”
In that age of Danzig and Pantera and the lot, I parachuted into Jazz big time, while still keeping an eye (if not much of an ear) on what was going on.
