Most of you may know, I desperately want to see Decline of Western Civilization Part II: The Metal Years to come out on DVD. However, I think that I have found something that might be more of a panacea for that need until DoWCPII:TMY (yeah, that’s a messy acronym) finally reaches my greedy fingers. METAL: A Headbanger’s Journey
- 16 extended interviews with metal rock icons
- 20-minute mini-documentary on Norwegian black metal
- Footage with Lemmy from MOTÖRHEAD at the Rainbow
- Director’s commentary
- Travel outtakes
- An interactive metal history family tree, created specifically for the DVD
To find out more on the release of this soon-to-be classic doc, click here for write-up by Blistering.com. To watch the trailer and find out more about the actual film, click here to go to the official website. And since I’m suce a nice guy, the Amazon pre-order has been linked above.

The rights for those Decline of Western Civ docs must be pretty screwed up. I can’t think of any other reason why they haven’t been released on DVD yet. And they’re both so amazing, too…
ODIN!!

Actually there are three. But you’re right; there must be something hung up on the rights. Although there are great sources of info about them - a website for the series (http://www.declineyears) & an article about Spheeris in the Wash Post from last year (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/06/16/AR2005061601651.html)

Yeah, I never got around to seeing that third one. About gutter punks, right? I heard it wasn’t so good…?

Yeah, I heard that one too. Punks from the late 70s-early 80s were cool and stood for something. I think that Gutter Punks are just kids who can’t think of anything else better to do other than trying to live as close to squalor as possible.
Living a life that is basically a homeless person existance doesn’t seem like punk to me. Then again, I must be thinking like the establishment in my old age.
