    Heavy metal videos!!!

    Forget the plot of this movie (some vj locking himself in a studio playing hard rock videos), and check this movie out for some excellent hard rock videos of the late 70s to the mid 80s. Deep Purple, Rainbow, Kiss, Motley Crue, among others are shown. It was good to see the rare "Stone Cold" video by Rainbow with singer Joe Lynn Turner. Check it out!

    A fond high school memory...

    Having been a metalhead since 1984, this movie holds fond memories for me. I saw it at the midnight movies when I was a junior in high school. Yeah, it wouldn't win any awards for acting, which was cheesy, but the videos alone make it worth watching. It also was a good statement against censorship and I'll support almost anything that is against that. If you like metal at all, or would like to see how the ground was broken for the current metal bands, I highly recommend this movie. Invite your friends, get out the beer and rock on!!

    • Trivia
      Did you know that the director and producers of this film (their first foray into film) are the company called Hipgnosis? Yep, they created classic album covers for hundreds of bands. Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd are just two. The Dark Side of the Moon is the most iconic of them.
