I wonder why he skipped black metal and related styles, and I think he didn't even mention Opeth, even though he was wearing one of their shirts in the Progressive Metal episode.

The one I watched last night was the Metallica Bay area Thrash one. Brang back a ton of old memories.

He did a really great job with this, this is the type of documentary that's impossible to make everyone happy and it really showed a true metal fan at the helm. It made me visit/revisit some bands I hadn't been thinking about too.

If I'm not mistaken, I think his documentary Metal: A Headbanger's Journey covered that sub-genre, but Metal Evolution didn't. Maybe to be more VH1 friendly?

Yup.....think this One was different then the Head Bangers Journey. Never saw this particular one last nite. It was on VH1 Classic.Enjolras56":21msx67w said:rupe":21msx67w said:duodecim":21msx67w said:

Wasn't a fan but I have a huge amount of respect for warrant and Erik Turner. Their ability to adapt and make an income within their genre is commendable.

Erik Turner is a great guy!! I had a couple of his old guitars from Warrant days. We exchanged emails quite a bit back in the 90's. I was in Japan at the time and sent him something from Japan as a gift and he sent some Warrant Swag.jcmlespaul":1qgzjsgv said:

Have only seen a few minutes of this one, I was quite pissed off at their exclusion of Pantera in their first doc, like they had some type of vendetta against them, pretty ridiculous they would try to write one of the more important metal bands ever (and a big reason why the metal torch was carried forward in the early 90s) out of metal history.
