Quote / Dialogue Of The Day
Posted by videowatch on February 8, 2008
I’ve been away from my blog for quite a long time now. I’ll be trying to start new reviews again from next month. In the meantime, I thought I’d just warm up with a simple but effective quote that I came across the other day in a brilliant documentary, “Metal : A Headbanger’s Journey“. Though this documentary is not really an exhaustive study of the genre, it still provides enough insight into the chaos and mayhem of the metal world. After having touched all things associated with Metal, Anthropologist Sam Dunn (in the middle), the co-writer and co-director of this documentary, stands tall at the Wacken Open Air Festival (not shown in the image) and proclaims his love for Metal and also has a word of advice for those who condemn it.
Sam Dunn : Ever since I was 12 years old I had to defend my love for heavy metal against those who say it’s a less valid form of music. My answer now is that you either feel it or you don’t. If metal doesn’t give that overwhelming surge of power that make the hair stand up at the back of your neck, you might never get it, and you know what? That’s okay, because judging by the 40,000 metalheads around me we’re doing just fine without you.
