Click here if you want to see Tom Araya say "Slayer in a Muslim Country??"

Because this here video TOTALLY DELIVERS in this regard.



DEGREE OWNING HEAVY METAL ANTHROPOLOGIST Sam Dunn plunges into what looks like another fun documentary about metal [albeit most likely campy as hell]. His other film, Metal: A Headbanger's Journey (Its Youtube'd into ten 10-min segments) seemed to be a genuine defense of metal as an art form--buuuuuuut I hope the uninitiated take it with a healthy grain of salt.

Some fun interviews though--Dio is amazingly charming, as is Tony Iommi, and I think I have a crush on sociologist Dana Weinstein (I like the idea of coining metal as a transcendental sort of Sturm und Drag).

A few caveats from the top of my head include Alice Cooper (FOR SHIT'S SAKE SHUT UP), portraying Twisted Sister's Dee Snider as a HEAVY METAL SOCRATES, and the guy from Slipknot talking about how metal is "THE LAST BASTION OF UNABASHED MALE SEXUALITY."
(sigh)

Either way, I'm anxious to discover just what happens when "heavy metal goes global."

On a popular social networking site, I put "Slayer" under the "religious views" section

I'd like to interrupt this relatively long period of inactivity to bring to you the greatest thing ever committed to digital film.



(Especially from about 3:30-4:40)

I think I hear the flower children calling
