metal gives me a bad feeling, but this documentary has something interesting, 18 January 2009
3/10
Author: benininho from Netherlands

In the past i was a metal head for 6 years. I listened a lot of glam-rock, speed, trash, death and black metal. And 20 years ago i listened to Japanese hard rock, i didn't understand the lyrics, but i liked the vibe and it was something completely new.

But i grew out of it. I still like the raw energy, but nowadays i get depressed listening to this music and i prefer to feel good, so i don't listen to it anymore.

Still this documentary has some interesting features.

The fact you can find metal fans and music in places such as Iran, (and even festivals in )Dubai, China and Indonesia was quite new for me.

My vote is 3, i really don't like the vibes of this music for this reason i would like to give it a 0 or a 1, but i have to give credits for the interesting novelties of this documentary and i really like the community spirit of the metal fans that this movie breathes.
