That was about the first film in ten years to make me repeatedly laugh out loud when I first saw it
For me, it's up there with the mighty This Is Spinal Tap

I thought it was quite funny but not in the same league as 'Tap'.

Maybe not, on relfection
It probably made me laugh just as much but Tap is the better film, if only because the humour is less obvious and more intelligent. And the fact that Black Sabbath actually thought it was based on them.

They researched it by spending time with Saxon, I understand.

Did you ever recieve the "Heavy Metal Thunder" documentary?

(Bazongaloid, Thu 14 Jul 2011, 9:12, Reply)

I did, and very funny it is too. Have you seen it?
Good time at Sonisphere, by the way?

Yes it was excellent.
Got a bit wasted on friday and fell asleep briefly during Metallica.

I once fell asleep with my head in a bass bin at a rave.

I've done that twice.
Once in some gay disco, and once in a raaaawk club.

That doesn't surprise me
I remain impressed by their temerity in lampooning John Bonham's death, however.
