I can't contain myself anymore. I cannot be insulted anymore by the ineptitude of this series that aims to chart Metal music from it's original influences to modern day sound.

I am 4 episodes in and each gets worse and worse. What makes it even more indigestible is the fact that it is co written and produced by a guy with a degree in Anthropology. This doesn't automatically mean that his word is gospel but If someone has a higher degree of education than myself, then I expect something that will tell me more than I know.

Episode 3 is virtually the same as episode one as it concentrated on British bands in the 60's but this was (vaguely) covered in the first episode.

To say that Metal was inspired by Classical and Jazz (amongst other genres) and not know it made my blood boil and the whole thing smacks of a guy who discovered Metal last week and not a guy who has been listening to it for nearly as long as I have.

If you are listening Scott, I will be more than happy for you to have a beer with me!

Poor. Poor. Poor.
