| The BEST thrash metal documentary ever!! It goes in depth of all the main, and even some of the bands that i never heard of. I don't know what else to say... It's just so freaking EPIC!!! I like how Dave Mustaine finally gets a little cocky in this one too, he's not sad one little bit!! Hell yeah! Buy this if you love thrash metal, whether you know everything or not, it's still awesome!! |

| I never expected to find this DVD for sale on an Army base in San Antonio, TX, but I'm very happy I did. Wow, this brings back memories. As one who spent almost every weekend in the mid-80's at L'amour's in Brooklyn where Anthrax and Overkill were practially the house bands, it was awesome to be able to re-live that scene. There are some great interviews and commentary from the "legends" of thrash metal, as well as a pretty true description of the entire scene, from the music to the clothing to the attitude. I'm glad I'm not the only one who woke up one day and wondered, "where did that music go?" For a true thrasher, grunge just didn't cut it - it totally lacked the energy, the passion, and the testosterone of real metal. This is an absolute must-own for any fan of heavy metal, and thrash in particular. Great job! |

Get Thrashed: The Story of Thrash Metal (Rick Ernst, 2006)
I'll say this right out: this is a movie for those of you who were there. If you're trying to get an objective look at the history of thrash, you would be well-served to go elsewhere. (Where, I'm not sure, but this is not the movie that will give it to you.) This is a by the fans, for the fans, kind of gig, and in that respect, it's great. Lots of band footage, lots of interviews with people you probably didn't know were still alive, lots of horns-in-the-air headbanging metal. If Paul Baloff's immortal "there's blood upon the stage" line was real to you, and you still have the scars to prove it, you're going to get just as much a kick out of this as I did.
There's really not much else I can say about this. If you were a part of the scene, it's an absolute must-see. I wish they'd covered a few more bands (and I won't name names, because I'm sure every thrash fan will have a list, and they'll all be different), but what's here is pure gold.*** ˝

| This is the seminal documentary on one of the most overlooked genres, that the Bay Area was instrumental in developing...Thrash Metal. It was great to watch a film that really accurately portrays the scene as it was, both here in the SF Bay Area and NY. Loads of folks whom I grew up with are in the film, the interviews are great, with insights from players and fans alike. Absolutely a must-buy DVD, if you are a fan of the genre, and want to know about how it really was back then, this is the film. Go Get Thrashed!!! |
