For British members and those in Europe who can get BBC Four, tonight (October 20) from 21.00 BST theres a riot of great metal and rock music. Starts off with a documentery on the making of Black Sabbath Paranoid album from 1970 (some of us are old enouigh to remember it when it wsd released...

Also on BBC Four theres a Heavy Metal Britania, fetauring Blasck Sabbath, Deep Purple and Uriah Heep, amongst others

I'll be watching it all while sipping a glass or two of something alcoholic

To get us in the mood here's the original Black Sabbath vdeo of Paranoid

It's not all British rock, cos at 23.30 there's a documentary about Anvil, the Canadian metal band. Here's a bit of Anvil from 2007

hi Howling, thanks for that mate, i do have the Anvil documentary on DVD which is really good, you can pick it up in Tesco's or Asda's for a couple of pounds best to look out when they have sales on, I got mine's for about £4.
I got to0 see the band live here a few months ago & they're just great down to earth guys.
I do like some of the stuff that BBC 4 has at the weekends.

hi there Howling & many of the other British rock fans on here, if you're not going out this Friday 21st Jan, why not grab yourself some beers & pizza etc! & settle down to hours of great rock on BBC4 , there's some Thin Lizzy' s Bad Reputation , Iron Maiden's Film Flight 666 on the band's 2008 world tour, also there Black Sabbath & then some great Bruce Springsteen, sounds like a good night in if it's pretty cold outside.

thanks for the heads up scotscub, it sure looks like a great nights headbanging ahead. I plan to start off the evening gently, with Mozart uncovered (Symphony 40)

I truely enjoyed the Thin Lizzy story, how they started at the beginning of their career, trying their hardest to get known on the media side & right throught until the end of Phil Lynott's death. It's not cool to take drugs!!
