The Enduring Power of Metal

Speaker

About this talk

Mocked, maligned, and misunderstood, Heavy Metal is alive and kicking over 50 years since its inception. The genre's founders and fans rabidly continue to live the lifestyle even as they themselves turn gray. Why has this music connected so powerfully with people and what does it mean to live an entire life by the values found in the world's most extreme genre of music? Join Sebastian Bach, Geezer Butler, Wendy Dio, and Eddie Trunk as they discuss the evolution of Heavy Metal and where it stands in the music industry today.
