VH1 Metal Evolution

[rjturtle9]

The only reason all the metal documentary shows cover New Wave of British Heavy Metal is so the can talk about Iron Maiden. There is no other reason. You never see them spend more then a few seconds talking about Saxon or Tygers of Pan Tang. If it wasn't for Maiden, NWOBHM would never be touched on, since no bands really went anywhere.

Very true, but I think Diamond Head got a decent chunk of time.

That's how they see it.

[JRA]

True. But Metallica covered quite a few of them.

That's how most people see it, and really, how can you blame them?

As condescendingly as possible.

Dunn's treatment of the material is his own, but the genres covered mirror VH1's 4 part heavy metal documentary.

Meh. The only reason most people and most metalheads know anything about them is because of Metallica. Lightning to the Nations was a good album. That's it, really.
