Has this never been on DVD? It's an incredible documentary. It's great to watch Judas Priest's attorney destroy the parents' case in court. The moment that stuck with me was when one boy's sister testifies. He asked about why her brother shot himself. She goes on about how the music drove him to it, and that he was a happy child until he discovered heavy metal. The attorney asks her about her musical taste, and she says what kind of stuff she likes, and he asks if she listened to heavy metal, and she says no. And then the hammer drops - "So it's safe to say that heavy metal music played no part in your suicide attempts?" The look on her face - and the parents' - was classic.
Ultimately, it was a very sad story - abusive home lives, substance abuse, and ultimately suicide for both (the boy who survived the initial shooting later killed himself, as I recall).
Bill Hicks may have said it best...
