Rock/Metal Documentaries

dez_warlock

I'm just looking for recommendations on good rock/metal band documentaries. So far I've seen:

Killswitch Engage
Chimaira
As I Lay Dying
Some Kind of Monster
Anvil
Mastodon
Megadeth Behind The Music

and a few others. Has anyone got any good recommendations? All bands considered!

120_Minutes

any of the classic albums series.

Metal: A Headbangers Journey is a must see,even for people who don't like the music and are just interested in the scene.

Spinal Tap.

Not exactly rock/metal but the greatest music documentary i've ever seen has to be Sigur Rós - Heima

As far as Rock/Metal is concerned you've already mentioned the Mastodon one which I quite liked, If All Goes Wrong from The Smashing Pumpkins was a decent watch.
Pete Townsend has an interesting bit in it & compares his experiences with Tho Who to SP's path.

Arena: heavy metal documentary from 1988
Such Hawks Such Hounds is great if you're into stoner rock

Try this it's Dream Deceivers: The Story Behind James Vance Vs. Judas Priest

About the Judas priest trial, I remember being shown this in school in a vain attempt to get us not to listen to metal.

Creeping-Death

The iron maiden ones, the early days i think they're called

Decline of western civilisation part 1 and part 2.

There is a second documentary made by the same lads called Global Metal - I watched it but don't remember much from it. The first one was much better.

I also found "Heavy Metal in Baghdad" a good watch. It's about the first metal band in Iraq, trying to stay together.

HERES A LINK TO BEHIND THE MUSIC, PANTERA ALTHOUGH SMALL WARNING THEY HAVE CLIPS OF DIMES MURDER ON IT.. BUT ITS A GOOD WATCH

Yeah saw that the other night, was in stitches!! Very entertaining and they're making another one too so can't wait to see it!

The newest cannible corpse dvd is one of the best ive seen by far. I dont even like the band bar a few songs but a mate o mine made me watch it. Brilliant stuff.

Also you mentioned you seen chimaira, just make sure youve watched both the dehuminizing process and the making of resurrection. Both brilliant, especially the former.

The BBC showed an excellent series recently called The seven ages of rock chronicling rock and roll from its begining up to modern day.

Watched global metal last night,I thought it was almost as good as Headbangers Journey but the second half got really dark.

I agree with both of the above. They're awesome.
