And here's the official "decline" site which states COMING SOON TO DVD & VIDEO!..... but a quick trip to the Internet Archive shows that the official site has been claiming that for more than FIVE YEARS! "decline" site from February 2001
It's been one month since I posted that. Well, I just went back to the official site and, after more than five years of claiming that the films were "coming soon to DVD", they've changed the front page to say "Thank you for your patience as we continue to work on the DVDs and updating this website. " I'm not sure that the removal of "coming soon" instills much hope in me.
BUT, the good news is that the Sundance Channel is broadcasting "The Metal Years" three times this month!!!! I don't have the Sundance channel, but it seems to me that a Tivo/ReplayTV/other HD recording of one of these broadcasts would have to be better than the VHS dubs floating around. Does anybody know if Sundance screens stuff uncut/uncensored?
If anybody (besides me) has any interest in recording these, I (for one) would appreciate it. I have a ReplayTV but since I don't get the Sundance channel, it doesn't do me much good.
