SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie
Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.
Numerootno A story that's too fascinating to pass by...
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
supermaggie I am a grown up and a rock fan, and I absolutely love this show. If you are a teenager, you will love it, if you are interested in comedies about the rock business (realistic or not is not the question, how realistic was Spinal Tap? And , yet, it was great, 11 stars ;-) ) or into rock music (cause the music is not bad at all!!), you will love it. In a world with a lot of hatred, discrimination, and, not too forget, Rap and Hiphop (loved the 6th episode!), it is great to have a nice, fair show about rock where the only offense (if at all) is directed towards the characters themselves, which are all so lovable, that you don't mind them being a bit cliched (yes, show for kids) and simple-minded. And in contrast to other kids' shows, there are not the usual,flat 'dumb grown-ups' jokes where the teachers and parents (over-re-)act like complete idiots and not in the least with the same charm or originality like Ash. Anyway, the stories are fun and inoffensive, it is realtively original, the music is great, and the lyrics even better (come on, Face down in a plate of Nachos is fabulous - lyrics, music and the performance - instant classic). I will never understand how shows like this one (and Grandfathered and Grinder) get axed while a dull show like Young Sheldon (which is nothing like Big Bang Theory or even Sheldon IN TBBT) or even worse shows get fulsome praise... A shame there is only two seasons of this great, great, funny, creative rock show.
tmunonyedi There are some people that have just taken this far too seriously. Firstly, the show was never supposed to be realistic. Anyone thinking it should be shouldn't be watching kids TV in the first instance. Reality ain't what 22 minute shows are about ~ laughs and fun are the substance of kids' shows. Secondly, the music is as close to heavy metal as it needs to be. The point of the show was not to turn the youthful masses onto authentic metal, a genre too deep and wide to honestly categorize with one phrase. Nor was it to accurately portray the inner workings of a metal band {it's not realistic, remember ?}. It's a 22 minute per episode parody and in that context, quite an original idea as many other genres have been covered down the years on kids' shows but not the harder rock end. It's corny yet subtle in many places and to be honest, unless one is prepared to look beyond one's own biases, you're better off staying away from the show. Personally, I thought it was funny most of the time, not flawless by any means and I think 2 seasons were just the right amount of time for the show to run its course. Lighten up folks ~ it was supposed to be ridiculous !Now having watched both series recently, I have to say that this was one of the best kids' shows I've seen. Surprisingly perhaps, it was consistently funny in every episode. I only found one lame episode actually, and that was the crossover episode with "Suite life on deck." Those crossovers are generally hit and miss anyway and this one didn't work well {made me see Zack and Cody in a slightly negative new light though}. While I wasn't really a fan of Logan Miller {although it has to be said, he plays his part well} Steve Valentine, Greg Baker and Stephen Full {and I'd throw in Caitlyn Taylor Love, the guys that played Metalwolf, Chucky, Simon Craig and Tripp's Mum too} were hilarious throughout. The three of them actually achieved a superb rapport and it's hard when seeing them in other shows or films to see them as anything other than Derek, Burger and Ash, so synonymous with the characters were they. No, overall, this was a superb fun series that never let up in quality and finished on a high at just the right time. I'm glad they didn't string it out until it became "not so good" then lame, like so many other series that began with a bang and hit a mighty peak.
cobracjason First off associating metal with this show is an insult to metal these characters are just functionally retarded and play to the stereotype of the stupid dunder headed metal musician. Secondly there is no real metal to be found here despite promises to the contrary mind you this isn't at all surprising considering this is a Disney show but they could have done a better job than poorly imitating hair rock (nope that wasn't metal) a lousy genre to begin with. I can't speak for the actors because i haven't seen most of them anywhere else caitlyn taylor love is cute and steve valentine who is kinda funny i've seen in a few other things but that's all i've got on that. I will give one compliment and say the hip hop is dead episode was pretty funny though.
XanaduWolf156 THIS SHOW IS GOLD! It's better than all the other Disney crap they show (Fanny Montana, Wizards of Waverly Losers, Jonas, etc) The humor is fresh, the actors are actually extremely better than the actors on Disney Channel. Really a great show. I'm am so glad I found a astonishing comedy. (After Drake and Josh lost touch)So ignore all those haters, because they are obviously brainwashed by todays music, and never knew how great Heavy Metal was. And, the name of the band in this show is absolutely funny. "Iron Weasel." Spoof for "Iron Maiden." Gradually a show that needs to obtain an orange blimp on The Kids Choice Awards. 10/10
