Get Thrashed: Documentary On The History Of Thrash Metal

I rest my case. Errr...I believe MOTORHEAD and VENOM beat them to it.

2 - Will there be a DVD?
The Get Thrashed DVD should be available in the first half of 2005 and will feature over an hour of extra footage that will not be seen when Get Thrashed airs on television.

VH1 Classics then?

the good new DECIBEL magazine summed it up acely: "First Megadeth album in ten years that doesn't suck worse than the one before it."

"Kick the Chair"'s a good early Megadeth romp.

I think Get Thrashed will be good times, and it'll probably do one important thing: establish thrash metal as a distinct cultural ripple, suitable for milking and reference abuse by shiny rock magazines with Usher on the cover. The director's an MTV lifer making it for a mass audience, but he's an old school L'Amour veteran, so it's coming from the heart. I've been buying up Artillery LPs in anticipation of the forthcoming price boom.

true, but somehow when i first heard metallica it seemed newer (than motorhead) and more visceral (than venom)....after the first time i heard metallica (and i know this probably could have been exodus or slayer or whaterver but I just happened to hear metallica first), lots of metal before seemed well...just old and outdated...not as fast and lean and mean and menacing....the priests and maidens and ozzys that i liked up to then seemed just kinda weak in comparison....motorhead sounded like a loud blues rock band (which they probably were in most senses) and venom just brittle and cheesy....Not to say that Alex is wrong, but sometimes I think that in the post-Napster, post-St Anger, post-Some Kind of Monster world that has stripped Metallica of any and all mystique they once had people tend to underestimate how fucking amazing and powerful they seemed to me the day that Ride the Lighting cassette came from the Columbia Record Club........Or when I first heard the Intro to Battery from Master of Puppets...just brutal and brilliant and so much better than everythign else i was listening too.....This is probably somewhat due to my age (i just turned 30 so i was probably in a real good position to have my mind blow in 1987)....
