Heavy: The Story of Metal is a four part documentary special that aired on VH1 in 2006. It focuses on the origins, subgenres, and the bands of heavy metal music, paying close attention to influential bands like Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Judas Priest, and Iron Maiden, who helped to define heavy metal in its early years. Other bands on the program include, Alice Cooper, Kiss, AC/DC, Van Halen, Def Leppard, Quiet Riot, Mötley Crüe, Megadeth, Metallica, Anthrax, Guns N' Roses, and Marilyn Manson.

The show is broken down into four parts. Each part focuses on different eras of the genre.

Part One: Welcome to My Nightmare

This part of the documentary talks about the beginning of heavy metal music and how the term came about. It also documents punk rock's threat to heavy metal's popularity. Bands discussed include Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Alice Cooper, Kiss, and AC/DC.

Part Two: British Steel

This part focuses on the rise of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, the Soundhouse in London, and the beginning of the L.A. scene with Van Halen. It also talks about Ronnie James Dio's influence on the birth of the "devil horns" and metal's leather fashion brought on by Rob Halford. Bands discussed include Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Van Halen, and Def Leppard.

Part Three: Looks That Kill

Part Three focuses mostly on the glam metal movement of the 80s, the use of keyboards in metal, the "power ballad", and the decline of the genre. It also talks about the P.M.R.C hearings, the 1984 film This is Spinal Tap, and the 1988 "rockumentary" The Decline of Western Civilization Part II: The Metal Years. Only two bands were discussed in this episode (Mötley Crüe, and Quiet Riot), while most of the episode focuses on glam metals effects to the music industry.

Part Four: Seek & Destroy

This part talks about the emergence of the underground sound of thrash metal in the 80's and the popularity of Guns N' Roses. It also talks about the popularity rise in nu metal, the influence of Marilyn Manson, and the beginning of Ozzfest. The documentary ends with saying how heavy metal has entered a "golden age" of sorts, with many classic bands returning to the stage and performing once again. Bands discussed include Metallica, Anthrax, Megadeth, Slayer, Guns N' Roses, KoRn, Slipknot, Limp Bizkit, and Marilyn Manson.

Μήλος!!!

This is my second time i visit Milos. The first one was like 11 yers ago so I don't remember anything.
Me and kikaa (another member of yourforum.gr) arrived here on sunday. We are staying at kikaas' house in Adamantas wich is right in front of the sea!!!! Well, we don't really go swimming in front of the house because the island is full of beautiful beaches and the one next to the house is nothing compared to the other ones... but it is ideal for fishing!!!

I will soon upload photos in the gallery from our holidays..

cheers,
Thanos & kikka
