Takasaki Imports Precious Metal

B. Sabbath, I. Maiden and D. Purple--all the usual suspects, hit Takasaki's local cinema art house last week. The documentary Metal: A Headbanger's Journey proved to be a scholarly dissertation on all the lucrative metals: Death, Speed, Thrash, Hollywood, Shock, Black, Progressive, Glam, Industrial, Goth, ???? That only covers the tip of the guitar's neck.

By the way, Ronnie J. Dio and the ever articulate (I'm not kidding) Dee Snider steal the show--ever metal's unsung heros.
