I lived it. Excellent. I was there. And this is what it was like. I'm so glad there is finally a serious documentary about thrashit was serious music.

Great story of the thrash metal movement of the 80s but sadly bands like HALLOWS EVE who certainly were there the whole time are left out without even a mention. These metal pioneers were probably the first metal band ever to come from the south.even before DEATH and the Florida death-metal movement. Good documentary but too bad some bands have been ignored.

Interviews with Thrash legends like Overkill, Slayer, Death Angel, Exodus, Anthrax, Testament, and new thrash acts like Municpal Waste, ans Evile bring the Thrash right to your face, so close up, and personal, you can almost SMELL the stale beer, and sweat. History seems to be repeating itself, and thrash is making a foothold again in the mainstream of metal, this DVD shows how the soul of thrash never did die out, it just went underground. it is a must see. bring it on, bring it all on. Slayer stayed in LA, bludgeoning the "posers" into submission. This is a great video view into the beginings of Thrash, on the west, and east coasts.

if you are a fan of early, or current Thrash, this is the video for you. when Metallica flew to New York, eventually sending Dave Mustaine packing, and bringing in Exodus guitarist Kirk Hammet, New York bands like Anthrax, and New Jersey's Overkill welcomed them into a huge scene of thier making. bands like Overkill and Metallica, Exodus, and Testament never went away, and thier new releases are selling great. Overall if you are fan of any metal, this vid will show you how it was done BEFORE the internet, and BEFORE the labels took over every aspect of music, when metal was ugly, pure, and real. Begining with the west coast, bands like Metallica, Slayer and Exodus, the video delves into the roots of Thrash, and how the hair bands, and the punks had shunned the early Thrash bands, forcing Metallica to move north to the Bay Area, joining the Bay masters, Exodus, in creating the mighty metal scene there. This vid is fantatic if you are a fan of Thrash, or even just the New York metal scene back then, as the bonus features delve into the crossover bands, and New York hardcore.

A comprehensive look into the history of thrash metal including all the major pioneers, Mettallica,Megadeath, Anthrax, Overkill, and Exodus. Get thrashed is a must have for anyone who is into the thrash metal genre. There are also A lot of bands that were big for a couple of years and then dissappeared from the scene. When I watched this film it brought back a flood of memories from my high school days in the early 80's when A lot of these bands were just making it to the big time. The special features on this DVD cover thrash metal worldwide, well worth watching.
