Great Documentary about the History of metal with some great interviews. if you have 90 mins to spare you can watch it all from the link.

It's no 'Decline of Western Civilization Part 2 - The Heavy Metal Years'.

so who started heavy metal then? i think it was hendrix. some people say led zep, some say it was the kinks, some say it was just the advent of a guitar getting plugged into an amp. i think it was the latter

The Latter were never responsible, they played flutes.

I saw this at the GFT a few years back, and despite being a little "fanboy"-ish at times it is undoubtedly as good a documentary on the subject as you are EVER going to get. People will niggle at a few things here and there - particularly the "genre tree", with Cradle Of Filth under black metal and Biohazard under nu-metal, etc. - but it does a great job as a rough guide to something that is always evolving and so generally nigh impossible to pin down. It presents the history and the facts fairly, and although it is from the perspective of a "headbanger" it's not afraid to poke fun at the culture either. I'll gladly watch this again, cheers for the link.

Yer man from Gorgoroth is almost the whole reason why I utter the word 'Satan" in a monotone voice right before I take a drink, every time.

Part 1 is superb. Very low budget but with some great interviews. Its probably my favourite of the 3.

I recommend anyone to watch this entire thing, but if you don't have the time then THIS and THIS are all you really need.

FUCK YEEEEEEEWWWWWWW~!!!!

that's a coincidence cause i say joe spinebuster just before i take a drink. oh wait i say cheers joe. why does noone on here answer a question rightly? who started metal and then youz are all like oh i'm well knowladgeable about this band it's deep but just say who was the first metal band when did they happen and how did they happen. btw taint from wales is the best metal band i've ever heard apart from ac/dc. lol i'd love to know what a genre tree is though cause that sounds like beavis and butthead

Campestral · 5th June 2007, 9:21pm

Small tear in the eye when Piggy(Dennis D'amour) from VoiVod was talking, he's still missed. VoiVod's Nothingface is right up there with my fav Albums of all time.

Clouds In My House was the first track of theirs that i heard and then i listened to more. Very very good. i wonder who they'll get to replace Piggy, it'll need to be someone great.

The Last album Katorz was based around riffs Piggy left on his laptop that the band found along with instructions on how to use them as he knew his time was limited, really sad to think he was writing riffs for songs he knew he would never hear finished.

Yeah i know. I thought it was a very cool thing. He did what he loved for as long as he could.
