More hard rock and hair metal than heavy metal. But a fun documentary of the scene at the time - particularly in L.A.
If you like 80's metal it's worth watching once.
Offers an engaging look into the glam metal scene of the 80s.
If you’re really into the music of this period, it’s worth a watch. Otherwise, kinda lazy documentary. Didn’t hold my attention.
Informative.
