'Get Thrashed' is an intimate look into the genre that started most other types of extreme metal. A well rounded documentary produced and directed by metal fans and musicians(Rick Ernst and Rat Skates) that taps into the origins of thrash, it's somewhat demise in the mid 90's and now it's resurgence in the mid 2000's. Everyone you would expect see in the film you do. The BIG 4 or even now 5 as Exodus is also included as pioneers of the great underground movement. And it was very underground as most realize. There was a tape trading phenomenon and this was the core behind the movement. Not to mention some great bands.
The film also looks into the other thrash movements across the world. Notably,Canada,Germany and Switzerland. Also included is the crossover point where thrash and hardcore blend together. You hear about Suicidal Tendencies,D.R.I.,S.O.D. and others that incorporated these sounds that developed into new genres.
Many famous people are interviewed not to mention some lesser known folks that offer insight into the realm that is thrash. There is also some really great pictures that are flown throughout the film and ofcourse great background music. Running at about 99 minutes you really get your fill of the genre.
Then the special features continue the majesty. With even more interviews and knowledge from bands I have never even heard of. This film is truly a knock out of the park. So if you are a fan of heavy metal especially a fan of thrash this film was made for us.And I am extremely thankful. It made me feel like a kid again.
HORNS UP THRASHERS!!!!

Get Thrashed is a documentary on, you guessed it, the phenomenom that was and IS thrash metal. Now it didnt really tell me anything I didnt already know about thrash, but it was very enjoyable to hear the music legends talk about a genre they obviously cared alot for. One drag was that I had to listen to bands like Shadows Fall, Corey Taylor, Lamb Of God, and Hatebreed give their opinions. But it wasnt a big distraction form the overall film. They interview every band you'd think should be in there, and the bonus features covers any they missed, with the exception of a few,(Demolition Hammer). All in all, I enjoyed this film alot, and am glad to have it in my collection.
A Must-Have!!! September 28, 2008

This is a great and long overdue documentary of the golden age of Heavy Metal. It really took me back to a time before the internet. If you were around to experience the music and the scene back then or if you are a metal fan of any kind...this is a must see. Great music, interviews and footage/pictures featuring some of the greatest bands of all times. The only reason why I'm giving it only 4 stars is that there is a little too much Metallica bashing. Just because they evolved and became successful they are everyone's favorite whipping boys nowadays. Yes, they get credit and props in the beginning of the movie for Kill `em all and pioneering the movement out of the underground but there are several shots taken at them throughout the whole documentary. Especially Dave Mustaine running his mouth about how great his is and how he is responsible for Metallica's and, get this, Slayer's success...ummm, yeah. Ride the Lightning, Master Of Puppets and ...and Justice for all get little to no mention at all although they are arguably some of the best and most important thrash records period. Hate Metallica all you want but if you are going to do a documentary about thrash keep your bias out of it. They are the band that still holds the metal flag up high and influenced new bands and brought new fans to the genre while most thought it was dead. What's more like selling out...sounding exactly the same over and over again with what made you successful (like Slayer) or taking risks and evolving your music even if it pisses people off? Anyway...the documentary is awesome and highly recommended for all fans of heavy music.
One of the BEST Metal docus ever October 6, 2008

Finally, after what felt like 10 years, I got my DVD!
And what can I say, this ist amazing.
Being a Thrash Metal Fan for over 20 years now, I was really blown away by this docu.
I really don't want to send too much words, for nearly all is said by the other buyers.
You just HAVE to get this DVD if you're a Metal and especially a Thrash Maniac. I really do hope that the makers will do more research in the international Metal-Scene.
Metallic Greetings from Germany, see you at Keep-It-True Festival!
