“Getting signed is sometimes the death of a band”-Dewin Townsend,Working Class Rock Star
So for some weird reason, Metal Documentaries is the new thing. I mean there are every where you look. “Heavy Metal in Bhagdad”,Sam Dunn’s upcoming “Global Metal”, “The Story of Thrash”-I mean they are everywhere! It’s only a matter of time this becomes the next KISS.
Anyways,this other Documentary/Movie “Working Class Rock Star” does seem like something,I mean something. As it is said in their official website there focusing more on the music industry, how bands have to really fight to get their asses signed but then once you are you are like….well in the words of Dewin Townsend and Frank Marino (Mahogany Rush) “Getting signed is sometimes the death of a band” and “As if being signed means anything”
The movie evolves around the lives of three bands “Tub Ring”,”Bloodshoteye” and “3 Mile Scream” also with insights from artistes like Strapping Young Lad, Lambof God, Bleeding Through.
To keep it simple-it’s more of a “what these men are up against” kind of thing. And all you unsigned bands out there-This documentary will not earn you the world,so don’t count on it.But it seems like a nice documentary….a sensible documentary.
Alternative name suggestion for the movie-”Sad but True”
