DVD Reviews of Get Thrashed

DVD Review: must have
Summary: 5 Stars

The fact is if you are a metalhead, you must get this. The dvd, including the extras, are an awesome look at the rise of the thrash metal scene in the 80`s. This is your roots if you a new to metal or a blast from the past if you were around at that time.

DVD Review: Brings back so many memories, get this now!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

I grew up in the early 80's hardcore/crossover scene, and this brought back many memories of that time with the bands and footage shown. I just wish they would have included New Orleans in on the map and spoke about the bands we had here that were pivotal in the thrash movement, i.e Exhorder, Incubus, Chaos Horde, Graveyard Rodeo, Shell Shock, etc.

If you are over 35 and a fan of crossover/thrash you need this in your collection!

DVD Review: It's Not Even Music, It's Just A Bunch Of Noise!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

Get Thrashed is a very entertaining and very informative documentary on the 80s Thrash scene. Many Metal documentaries get complaints from certain folks coz "X" band was not mentioned or covered. Get Thrashed is rather well researched and covers quite a bit of ground. It begins with Thrash's beginnings, the bands, the scene, the fans, it's downfall, and ultimately it's resurrection and influence on recent bands(it it nice to hear younger more recent bands speak so highly of these old thrash groups, it's just unfortunate that they didn't seem to learn much from them). The film is 99 minutes, so it does go into depth. The big four Thrash bands are covered, but many more obscure bands are given their due. Lots of interviews and commentary with bands old and new. There really isn't enough time to go into every Thrash band in history, but that's where the Bonus Features come in. The Bonus Feature is a world map where you can highlight a particular country or city and get a short description of the scene and/or the bands from that particular area. This is a wonderful addition because it can bring to your attention some bands you may have never heard of. Plus it helps in the "this band wasn't mentioned" category that Metal fans tend to get so picky about.
Naturally it goes without saying that this documentary will only appeal to a certain crowd. I can't see the average Bowling For Soup fan getting much out of this, but you never know. But this is highly recommended to the metal fans, even the younger ones so they can see where this whole thing came from and who the masters are. I can't imagine too many metal fans will find many flaws in this film.
Bravo!!

DVD Review: A "must own" for thrash fans
Summary: 5 Stars

A thorough look into the thrash scene of the 80's. Well, as thorough of a look as you are going to get in a documentary in 2008! Even as someone who lived through the time in Florida, there was a lot of interesting information that I never knew about. In the main documentary and in the extra footage they hit just about all of the major thrash bands of the time. I definitely enjoyed seeing this and recommend it to any thrash fans. My only negative opinion of it is that they should have covered its evolution into death metal as opposed to nu-metal (which is what they covered instead).

DVD Review: Excellent
Summary: 5 Stars

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