Summary: one of the biggest bands in Metal History gets it’s own doc.
Musical documents can only go so far, they can’t cover everything which means they have to be selective about what they include. That leads to the first issue with the film some big events such as the Ozz Fest incident of 05 are not covered in the film. That said they do cover an awful lot of the most important moments.
It is interesting to see the behind the scenes stuff particularly the trip behind the Iron Curtain and what that represented both to the fans and the band. As well as the creation story behind Eddy that in and of itself is worth the price of admission.
Overall, a good band documentary that doesn’t go as far as you might want it to.
