The makers of the documentary “Metal: A Headbanger’s Journey” are seeking metal fans from Middle Eastern countries who are attending the Desert Rock Festival in Dubai, March 9-10, 2007, to appear in their follow-up film, “Global Metal.”
“We are excited about filming at Desert Rock and meeting with fans from throughout the Middle East,” says directors Scot McFadyen and Sam Dunn.  “We want to talk with metalheads from the Middle East about their love for metal and their experiences being metal fans in these countries.”
The filmmakers are seeking information from fans who are attending Desert Rock who currently live in the following countries:
Egypt

Iran

Iraq

Jordan

Kuwait

Lebanon

Oman

Qatar

Saudi Arabia

Syria

The Palestinian Territories

Turkey

United Arab Emirates

Yemen
If you (A) currently live in one of these countries, (B) are attending the festival and (C) are interested in being interviewed for “Global Metal” please contact the directors at: info@metalhistory.com
“Global Metal” is the follow-up film to “Metal: A Headbanger’s Journey” which explored metal’s impact and controversy over the past 35 years and featured interviews with Tony Iommi, Bruce Dickinson, Alice Cooper, Ronnie James Dio, SLAYER, Dee Snider, ARCH ENEMY, LAMB OF GOD, CANNIBAL CORPSE, EMPEROR and many more. The two-disc DVD set was released in North America in May and includes extended interviews, an interactive metal history chart, and a mini-doc on Norwegian black metal.

nah mate…..wish i could go though…..

imagine all the metal n headbanging n stage diving n moshing going on in the desert….mind you though..i wonder what the alcohol policy is??? its quite strange trying to imaging a metal festival without booze….it’ll seem more like a pavaroti concert or something…..metal just isn’t fun without copious amounts of liquor…..

i talked with someone called Lisa at Global Metal, she told me to forward her the name of Syrian metal heads who are going….apparently she’s only interested in people who are traveling there, and not with the metal scene or the metal bands in Syria…oh well, perhaps in another documentary……..
