The MetalSucks Podcast #51: Filmmaker Sam Dunn

Sam Dunn, director, producer, anthropologist and co-owner of Banger
Films is our guest this week. He has become the de facto
record-keeper for heavy metal, having produced Metal: A
Headbanger's Journey, Metal Evolution, Global Metal and more
focused documentaries about Iron Maiden, Rush and now Super
Duper Alice Cooper. Sam tells us the history of a legend
who so many of us know little to nothing about, and we pick his
brain to find out who might be next, how he became a metal
filmmaker and more. We discuss the fascinating story of Vik
Guitars founder Vik Kuletski, hating on gay people and headless
guitars, whether a niche businessman can come out against an idea
and lifestyle that is now in the mainstream, and whether those
consequences are just. Everyone has a right to their opinion, but
when you're selling $5,000 guitars can you afford to lose even one
customer? We also hear the new Wovenwar and avoid talking about the
sentencing of Lambesis, instead focusing on the damn catchy song
the other members made without him. Songs:Gwar - "School's
Out"Wovenwar - "Rise Up" Learn more about your ad choices. Visit
