HEAVY METAL PARKING LOT is considered one of the greatest rock & roll movies of all time, although it’s actually a hilarious documentary tribute to rock & roll’s GREATEST FANS. Filmed in 1986 at a Maryland concert arena parking lot before a heavy metal show, HMPL is an unvarnished anthropological study of American metalheads in their mid-’80s glory. It is the quintessential ’80s magnum opus, made complete with a vast display of muscle cars, spandex, bleach-blonde frizzy perms, bare-chested dudes, Mullets From Hell, faded denim metal chicks, and the largest collection of late ’70s Camaros ever seen in one location. Virtually unknown to mainstream audiences for two decades, HMPL was a VHS bootleg favorite among musicians, movie stars and cult-video fanatics worldwide. This limited-edition DVD features a pristine digital-video transfer of the original uncut 16-minute documentary, plus over two hours of exclusive content! Extra content includes sequels, parking lot alumni interviews, karaoke subtitles, Dub-O-Vision and more. Viewer discretion: explicit language, drug references and loud music.
Extras include: Outtakes, Director Commentary, Cast Interviews, Music Videos, Scene Selections, Interactive Menus

Heavy Metal in Baghdad is a documentary feature film that follows the Iraqi heavy metal band Acrassicauda (Latin for a deadly black scorpion native to Iraq) from the fall of Saddam Hussein to their escape from Iraq. The band members – Firas (bass), Tony (lead guitar), Marwan (drums) and Faisal (lead vocals and rhythm guitar) – were bred on American heavy metal albums, learning to speak English by listening to Slayer, Metallica and Slipknot. Playing heavy metal in a Muslim country has always been a difficult (if not impossible preposition, but, after Saddam’s regime was toppled, there was a brief moment for the band in which real freedom seemed possible. That hope was quickly dashed as their country fell into a bloody insurgency.
Directors Eddy Moretti and Suroosh Alvi traveled to Baghdad to find Acrassicauda, Iraq’s most famous heavy metal band. From 2003-2006, Iraq disintegrated around Acrassicauda while they struggled to stay together and stay alive always refusing to let their heavy metal dreams die. Their story echoes the unspoken hopes of an entire generation of young Iraqis.

(I do not own any of these bands or anything, just spreading the music to get them more exposure. If it’s required, this video will be put down, but I hope it won’t because I’m just trying to get these bands more exposure.)
Recorded live for Radio Bremen in June 1971, whilst Ralf Hutter was taking a 6 month brief break from the band, and instead features the Rother/Dinger/Schneider line up.
This is a very hard rocking krautrock number.
Featuring:
FLORIAN SCHNEIDER – flute with effects.
MICHAEL ROTHER – guitar.
KLAUS DINGER – drums.
Pre – Neu! days and this track gives a taster of what was to come from Neu! in the future.
Eventually Dinger and Rother would leave KRAFTWERK to form NEU!.
Later on in the year Ralf Hutter would rejoin KRAFTWERK and electronic history would be made there after.
Reason that Ralf Hutter did NOT participate during this brief moment of the band (late 1970-mid 1971)is apparently he wanted to complete his Studies. Since mid-1971 Hutter was back.
It is rumoured that a drummer called Charley Weiss and a bassist/cellist (now an artist) Eberhard Krannemann also collaborated around this time, but not on this recording at least.
