Music documentaries #7: Heavy Metal Louder than life

think what the music changes over time. What was really hard and mean in the 70´s and was honored with the term Heavy Metal is kinda tame if you place it besides the Heavy Metal of today.
But at the same time i refuse to name it something other just ´cause they set the ball rolling, without them, the metal of today wouldn´t exist.

there are a couple of big legends in this documentary, so enjoy!

a site devoted to backward masking

He started his carrer fronting the psychadelic band 13th floor elevators in the late 60´s. he was arrested for illegal posession of maruijuana so he played the insane card to avoid going to jail (this gives me vibes of mcmurphy from one flew over the coocoo's nest) and he became institutionalised in ´69. Under 3 years he was treated with ECT
and psychotropic drugs, and this scarred him for life.
