The saga of Dan Cleveland, the hardest-working man in local rock, and his band Dark Horse continues. Several years have passed since the events of "Driver 23" but Cleveland's enthusiasm for his dream of heavy metal stardom has not been dampened in the least.
"This Is Spinal Tap" shines a light on the self-contained universe of a metal band struggling to get back on the charts, including everything from its complicated history of ups and downs, gold albums, name changes and undersold concert dates, along with the full host of requisite groupies, promoters, hangers-on and historians, sessions, release events and those special behind-the-scenes moments that keep it all real.
Get Thrashed traces the rise, fall and impact of thrash metal; from its early years, through its influence on grunge, nu metal and today's heavy metal scene. It is the story of the heaviest, hardest music of the 80s and early 90s as told by the bands who lived it, the fans and bands that grew up on it and by the artists that carry the "thrash metal" flag today.
Recorded at The Metro Chicago December 5 2003.
