I can respect that. But given the ages of most in the scene and the popularity of Kiss v Alice, I'd say Kiss had a much bigger, wider and more influential reach than Alice Cooper. Just sayin.
I think every musician in extreme metal post-1986 owes a huge debt to Slayer. I know for a fact Immortal are highly influenced by Kiss, not so sure about the rest of the BM scene, though. If anything, the image comes more from Alice Cooper.
Great documentary. I am probably going to get a lot of shit for saying it... but... Black Metal seems to owe an obvious debt owed to American bands like Slayer and Kiss. Kiss for their imagery (black white make up, theatrics, blood, fire, etc) and Slayer for their "Satanic" themes and heavy, fast music (lombardo's drumming!). I think this is worthy of note here and doubt that any of these musicians featured here do not have (or had) a stack of Kiss and Slayer cds at home.
Thank you for the awesome documentary and putting interviews of some of my favorite artists with their insights and intelligence graced with a bit of madness here and there, but that is what makes them interesting. I do not understand all the hateful and ungrateful slouches, I guess it is just human nature, anyways, they just don't get it, Shining and Watain rule, people claim to know so much about what is an is not black metal, let's see them make their own band!
The guy from Shining,he's full of shit man...if he really hate life and living then cut his fucking throat and that's it.. Stop saying stupid crap! I really love Black Metal and Shining is not a part of this clever genre of metal. Black Metal is about living and fighting for life. Black Metal is about growing from yourself. Shining is motherfucker.
@janmarlo15 You're right. That dude is not some scary person. He's just a fool. He sounds like a child.

I watched this entire thing only for Erik Danielsson. He's the only one I feel and the only one who speaks naturall about what he believes.

@TheCryptViolator I think Alice Cooper and 99% of black metal bands owe their makeup and images to pandas. War pandas.
