Documental "Get thrashed"

[DJ Dissident]

El mes pasado por fin salió después de mogollón de retrasos "Get thrashed", un documental americano sobre el nacimiento de (obviamente) el thrash metal, que según la peña (y me refiero a la gente de Kreator, Exodus, etc...) es el mejor documental sobre esta música que se ha hecho jamás, incluso mejor que "Metal: a headbangers' journey".

"La historia de Get Thrashed empieza a principios de los 80, cuando grupos de jóvenes metalheads, provenientes principalmente de Los Ángeles, Nueva York y la Bay Area de San Francisco, sudaban en sus garajes dando forma a un estilo musical en el cual podían combinar, por fin, el heavy metal con la energía del punk y el hardcore. Ese movimiento, que se inició en el underground más absoluto, se acabaría convirtiendo en un estilo revolucionario dentro del heavy metal, consiguiendo tan solo unos años más tarde el éxito comercial gracias a la aportación de bandas como Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax o Slayer. En este documental viviremos en primera persona, a través de los protagonistas de aquellos inolvidables años, cómo pudo suceder que muchos de aquellos jóvenes con tejanos ajustados, cinturones de balas y marcas de acné, acabaran convirtiéndose en estrellas del rock."

Puntuación de 9 sobre 10 en Blabbermouth.
Pa quien sepa inglés (y se quiera leer el tocho):

There has been such a massive amount written about "Get Thrashed: The Story of Thrash Metal" ? and the critical reaction has pretty much been raving across the board ? that it almost seems anti-climatic to talk about the recent DVD release. On the other hand, the scores of folks who didn't have the pleasure of seeing the film, now get the chance to own the DVD, one that is not only essential for any fan of metal, but also an 11th commandment for thrash denizens. As for my take on the DVD, I find the documentary as stupendous as the rest of the critical world.

In countless ways, what really makes "Get Thrashed: The Story of Thrash Metal" so engrossing is the way it makes the viewer feel. Writer/director Rick Ernst has pieced it together with so many vintage ? often black and white photos ? and gritty live videos that one is transported back to 1985 to absorb ever sweat-drenched and bloody ounce of energy that permeated the scene. For those of us that were around when it happened, the accounts are strikingly accurate and the mood conveyed 100 percent genuine. The excitement of a style carved out of punk's speed and heavy metal's muscle is captured in tales told by the numerous scene veterans (Gary Holt, Kirk Hammett, Katon W. De Pena, Bobby "Blitz" Ellsworth, Lars Ulrich, Scott Ian, Mille Petrozza, etc), new school luminaries like MERCILESS DEATH, modern metal stalwarts such as SHADOWS FALL, and critics like Ian Christe. From the pit violence, to the denim-and-leather fashion, to the explosive scene pockets (L.A., New York, Europe, etc), to the pinnacle Clash of the Titans tour event, to the blistering music, the DVD is a sure bet to send viewers running for their vinyl collections.

Equally impressive is the manner in which Ernst squeezes in the most relevant commentary from the seemingly endless amount of interview footage, which must have been an absolute bitch to sort. The mission was to tell the story of thrash, which doesn't mean highlighting every musician that ever wore a patch-covered, sleeveless denim jacket over a leather coat. Obviously, it is impossible to please everyone, especially when your favorite band doesn't get the time you think it deserves, but Ernst gets around it with a bonus segment that covers damn near everyone else, albeit in briefer segments. To name just a handful: TESTAMENT, VIO-LENCE, FORBIDDEN, HEATHEN, DARK ANGEL, POSSESSED, HIRAX, VOIVOD, SODOM, AGENT STEEL, OVERKILL, NUCLEAR ASSAULT, WHIPLASH, HALLOWS EVE, and ANVIL. The bonus segment also includes examinations of scenes from other parts of the world, such as Canada and Germany. Director's commentary rounds out the bonus features.

It is unlikely I've told most of you anything that you haven't already heard. For the remaining few, your mission is a simple one: purchase "Get Thrashed: The Story of Thrash Metal" as soon as humanly possible.

Lo acabo de ver entero y es la hostia, pero me faltó más sobre la escena alemana, sólo hablan de Kreator. Y en la sección de Crossover, ni mencionar a los DRI es un crimen
También se echa de menos más sobre los suecos (Dismember, Entombed, At the Gates...)
Por lo demás, muy bueno, pero sin subtítulos por ahora

Me esperare a los subtitulos
