The second in Penelope Spheeris' Decline of Western Civilization trilogy, The Metal Years takes a fast-paced look at the outrageous Heavy Metal scene of the late '80s. Set in L.A., the film gets up close and personal with the bands, the fans and the star-struck groupies. It is both an exposé and a fun, irreverent, indulgent, and indescribably excessive ride! Featuring performances by Alice Cooper, Ozzy Osbourne, Poison and members of Aerosmith, Kiss and Motorhead as well as performances by Megadeth, Faster Pussycat, Lizzy Borden, London, Odin and Seduce.
