Disappointing

They spend too much time on bands that suck. And why were Frank Bello and John Bush in it? Probably because they couldn't get Slayer. Dave Ellefson is the only reason to watch this and he's on screen for about 2 minutes.

Thrash or not?

Well this video does cover the basics of the start of the scene so that is a plus. However it seems very repetitive in its subject matter, interviews and direction. Way too much time is spent talking about Glam Metal and why LA Thrash became more known as Bay Area Thrash. None of the interviews were all that compelling to me personally and I'm not exactly sure why Accept a German band were included in this at all.
