As entertaining as this doc was, they emphasized too much on the obscure Glam bands, where are Whitesnake, Motley Crue, Dokken or Ratt?? I wished they interviewed Alice Cooper, Lemmy, Paul Stanley and Ozzy more too, they had the most insightful words....and of course they used Megadeth, not only the BEST thrash band, but the best looking one too (except Chuck haha)

@guitarplaya908 He's the only one CONSTANTLY lying here. His talk about being against drugs and drugs never affecting their shows are totally lies. The guy was on heroin&lots of other drugs, just like the other guys in Megadeth.

Being sincere is more honorable than being fake to look 'cool'

@sorabulq Haha yeh Dave, Jnr and Jeff were sexy (no homo), so was Nick Menza.

@TheE1961 The difference is the real metal bands played for the music. If sex, drugs and fame came along then they might embrace it. But for most of the bands the music was a priority. As Frank Bello says "I'd rather have a good riff and good song that im proud of that have my dick sucked" lol. And alot of famous bands stayed away from the hard drugs e.g. Maiden, Anthrax, Slayer.

@Hughesy16LFC that was kind of the point of the documentary was the fact that these kids were destroying themselves and following these popular trends of mostly glam bands to have the cliche sex drugs and rock and roll lifestyle. that's why it is called the decline of western civilization...

[TheRattlehead73]

man megadeth made metal seem not as dumb as a ll those stupid glam bands
