LIGHTYEAR ENTERTAINMENT ANNOUNCES THE RELEASE OF
GET THRASHED: THE STORY OF THRASH METAL, SEPTEMBER 16, 2008
*Rick Ernst has managed to capture the spirit of a metal phenomenon while addressing its influence on today's metal scene. I for one could not be more fired up!
Gary Holt / Exodus
* ?the film offers a glimpse at a vibrant, sometimes violent subculture, that, for a moment in time, appeared ready to take over the world.
Jon Wiederhorn / Revolver Magazine
*?.this is mandatory viewing. For all of you (like myself) that were swept up in the fury of the storm, this will bring back 20-year old memories of a time when new ground was broken in metal music and the ante was upped considerably!
Danny Lilker / Nuclear Assault
*?.the viewer feels actually thrashed, totally beaten up, steamrolled and willing to immediately form a metal band after the film.
MOX / Germany
*Get Thrashed is the ONLY documentary about our music that makes perfect sense!
I?m happy someone finally created this.
Mille Petrozza / Kreator
*Get Thrashed made me feel like I was looking into a scrapbook of my music life. The film gets it right as he makes you feel the vibe and pulse of this music that we all know and love.
Frank Bello / Anthrax
* A heartfelt tribute to the energy, ambition, bloody noses, and sick humor of the once-feared thrashers. Rick Ernst polishes his bullets and aims his sharpshooter lens at the underground movement that unexpectedly ushered heavy music into the modern era.
Ian Christe / author Sound of the Beast
*This is one of the best documentaries I have ever seen on heavy metal.
Sean Cowie / Metal-Rules.com
* This film should be shown to any type of metal fan who ?raises the horns?
