I was looking forward to seeing this and was hopeful that it would be different than what MTV/VH1 had done before! I was wrong!! It's pretty much the same as the others but still a fun watch if you are a fan! They did get the title right with living the 80's metal dream because it is 80's metal!! Contrary to what one reviewer said, Van Halen is not and never was metal!! They are straight forward hard rock with David on vocals! They were more pop rock with Sammy!! Kip talked about his ballet and all that with wondering why his band was disliked, he answered his own question!!
Then you have Ricki talking about Garth being responsible for the end of the 80's metal success? Garth had ZERO to do with it!! The industry itself did it!! They left out how bands in the late 80's were being signed right off the street corners on the strip!! This is what I mean by not getting a documentary right on 80's metal!! Plus you have the fakes saying they made fun of these bands? Those people saying that were probably getting into music after the 80's & also ones who were buying these albums back then!! Why are they made fun of today, the look!! Forget about the great music they made, these people only focus on the look!! I listened to this music when it was all new & I still listen to it to this day!! Long love 80's metal!
