METAL MANIA - Full Documentary

A look at Ozzy Osbourne, AC/DC, Judas Priest, Alice Cooper, Led Zeppelin, Iron Maiden, Motley Crue, Kiss and more classic heavy metal musicians.

[@nickjones2340]

I was always surprised how kiss never got recognized for the song Detroit Rock City

[@Vabrejuro]

Ozzy- famous to his fans for his loving shouts " God bless you"

[@everydaylife1885]

Sabbath is the original metal band and that's all there is to it

[@ambimedi]

I couldn't agree with you anymore.

[@goatfromhell666]

Can't be denied.

[@williamellis-xd1rm]

I thought so too, but now I'm not so sure. It's looking like MC5 actually started it. But Sabbath was the first to identify itself as a metal band.

Cooper is right in everything he says

Definitely a smart man. Pretty big difference between him and Ozzy. I honestly can’t believe Ozzy outlived my mom for God sake. lol how is this dude still alive?

I never got into Zeppelin but I respect their legacy.

They are NOT the #1 band in the world. I saw their sorry a** concert in 1976 and they were 2 hours late starting the damn thing. Overrated BS band. Sorry Zep lovers :) Page is not the riff king.

They give a lot of time to only a few artists. I agree. By now all of those given so much attention have the biggest backcatalogue for people to spend $$ on. If they were start ups in todays' times they'd only get an honorable mention.

Without Black Sabbath we wouldn't have Alice in Chains and Kings X, 2 of the best bands EVER to walk the earth. So my best wishes to Ozzy and the crew, Dio rocked it, Tony Iomi, all those guys were instrumental in raising the victory flag for metal and heavy music. 👍💯

[@HollowSun]

Iron Maiden was more punk influenced than Motörhead?? Really?? Sure, their first couple albums were a little punk-ish but never Motörhead level.

[@BRO77TX]

Steve has gone on record in the Metal Evolution doc that he wanted Iron Maiden to have NOTHING to do with punk!! He HATED punk!!!

[@delanoarts3703]

Motorhead hated being called metal that's why it's like hating your own skin color in my opinion lol

[@godetonter4764]

If Motorhed is PUNK, than WTF are AC/DC ? Both bands are influenced by Rock n Roll . The only element of PUNK in Iron Maiden or Motorhed is the speed . Metallica had more in common with PUNK than either band . PUNK fans used to even say Judas Priest was PUNK. People that are uncomfortable liking anything outside their chosen music genres.

[@HollowSun]

@Gode Tonter Nobody's saying Motörhead was a punk band, just that they were very influenced by punk. To say that speed is the only commonality between Motörhead and punk is insane; the whole attitude and ethos of the band was the rebellious "stick it to the man" thing which basically defines punk. Sure, Metallica might have been "more punk" (depending on the era/album), but so what? It makes absolutely zero difference to Motörhead's influences. I'm not saying they're punk inspired just to justify listening to them; frankly, I don't really like punk. I'm just pointing out the obvious and undeniable influence.

So many incorrect "facts" in this - but it's still an enjoyable background/light watch. Just take it with a grain of salt.

[@mooncritter721]

Metal is just a word. Music hard or soft is music. The late 70`s and all of the 80`s were a party! America was having a blast! We need to get back to that again because right now we are not doing so good. I want the good times to roll and the dark times to end. Hair metal forever!!!

I was a teenager in the 80's. When bands such as Bon Jovi, Poison, Ratt, just to name a few, sounded kind of exciting initially but quickly became a bit boring. There are bands from the 80's I still listen to but for the most part, I was so glad when the Seattle bands hit the scene. Not overshadowing how glad I was with Metallica, Megadeth, Motorhead, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, etc was out there to give us something worth listening to.

[@dsvet]

Nothing is more boring than the "Seattle scene"

[@williamellis-xd1rm]

The difference between heavy metal and hard rock is not necessarily about tempo or volume. Its really more about influence. Hard rock is generally rooted in the blues whereas metal is often times influenced by Classical. Not always, mind you...both can and have gone the other direction.

Quite obviously this documentary (and I use that word very loosely), was put together by people who know absolutely nothing about the heavy metal genre. Then to add insult, they get someone to read from a badly written script, who knows even less about the form he's commenting about. Do yourself a favour and avoid this rubbish and find something that's done by people that not only respect the genre, but actually listen to the music. Major fail on so many levels.
