Get Thrashed - The Story of Thrash Metal

Get Thrashed - The Story of Thrash Metal (2006)(DVDRip)

The GET THRASHED journey begins in the early 80s, where Metallica and several other bands laid the groundworkfor what would becomea lasting impression on the face of heavy metal music. These bands helped ignite local scenesin Los Angeles, the Bay area of California and New York City, which helped fuel a worldwide thrash metal movement.By the dawn of the 1990’s, thrash bands had gone from playing backyard barbeque parties to headlining arenas and Metallica were on their way to becoming one of the biggest metal acts of all time. But as legions of headbanging, stage diving and moshing metalheads were flocking to see their favorite bands, the tides had begun to change.

In the early 1990’s, a changing musical landscape sent thrash spiraling back into the underground. Some of themusicians passed away, some returned to their day jobs and some bands broke up. While the music lived on,the scene was forever changed.

Get Thrashed traces the rise, fall and impact of thrash metal; from its early years, through its influence ongrunge, nu metal and today’s heavy metal scene. It is the story of the heaviest, hardest music of the 80s and early 90s as told by the bands who lived it, the fans and bands that grew up on it and by the artists that carrythe “thrash metal” flag today. The documentary throws new light on an overlooked, yet incredible music scene and how it went from a simple rumbling in the underground to a loud, obnoxious and constant roar in the (almost) mainstream.

METALLICA, SLAYER, MEGADETH and ANTHRAX To Play Together for the First Time Ever

METALLICA, SLAYER, MEGADETH and ANTHRAX To Play Together for the First Time Ever

Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax will play together for the first time in history, at the June 2010 Sonisphere festivals in Poland and the Czech Republic.

Says Lars Ulrich of Metallica, “Who would have thought that more than 25 years after its inception, thrash metal’s big 4 would not only still be around and more popular than ever, but will now play together for the first time…what a mindfuck! Bring it on!”

“It’s about fucking time this happened,” says Slayer’s Kerry King, “and about time the fans finally get what they want. This is fucking awesome.”

Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian agrees, commenting on the enormity of the announcement.

“People have been talking about these four bands playing together since 1984. That’s twenty-six years of expectation!! And the thing is, I believe not only will we live up to the expectations, we will shatter them! No other four bands as influential as the four of us have ever done this. Imagine if the Beatles, Stones, the Who and Zeppelin had done shows? Or Sabbath, Priest, Maiden, Motorhead? Well, I may be getting into some rarified air here but as a fan, that’s how big I feel this is.”

These four legendary acts broke out of the underground thrash movement to dominate the metal world in the 1980s, selling millions of records and packing arenas across the globe. The metal giants have never before all shared the same stage, despite huge demand. But on June 16, 2010, Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax will take to the Sonisphere stage at Bemowo Airport, Poland, to make the dreams of headbangers the world over become a reality. A second Big Four appearance is planned for Sonisphere Czech Republic three days later, with more Sonisphere shows featuring the awesome combo to be announced in the coming days and weeks.

“This is a ‘once-in-a-lifetime’ opportunity for heavy metal fans to see the four greatest heavy metal bands in American history back together on one stage,” concludes Megadeth’s Dave Mustaine. “If there are any heads left at the end of this festival that haven’t banged, they don’t belong there.”
