...but what about thrash, death, black, power and doom metal? With the exception of clips of Overkill, Anthrax, Napalm Death, Metallica and interviews with those bands and Alex Skolnick and Dave Mustaine, there was pretty much no mention of any band in any of those genres (seriously, Slayer was mentioned -once- in a two hour documentary about metal), instead it focused on early hard rock/heavy metal, glam and nu metal.
I'm actually being pretty generous with the score here, you have heard pretty much all of this before in other (and better) documentaries. Some of the interviews were pretty entertaining (Dio and Phil Taylor in particular), but this is honestly not worth wasting two hours of your life on.
If you haven't seen a metal documentary yet, go with A Headbangers Journey, it's not perfect, but a hell of a lot better than this.
"Pantera kept true metal alive" - I think we're done here.
