I had never heard of Pentagram and after hearing their music I'm not surprised that I had not.They didn't become famous because they aren't good, it's that simple.But none of that matters because this guy is definitely fun to watch.He lives with his very supportive parents who look to be about 10 years younger than him.He spends most of his time digging in the couch looking for crack and talking about the 70s.Somehow he has two or three fans and they will do anything for him, so he manages to get drugs and get his records reprinted.This movie definitely needed to be made.I heard that Pentagram is doing really good and touring a lot now.I hope he's giving his parents some money this time.

I am not a fan of Pentagram, I have barely heard of them. However, I barely heard of Anthrax and thought that documentary was superb. That film was about a band soldiering on, ad midst a mostly apathetic public. This is the story of a broken wreck of a man named Bobby Liebling, someone who actually is doing drugs on film. Thankfully, he seems more coherent as the film goes on, to the point where you can understand him. Even if you think of him as a drug addled loser (this is not disrespect, watch the film), you want him to clean up and succeed. This film at first had no meaning to me, but it is the story of a second act. another chance. The best thing about the film are the interviews, as they are not with musical legends, but people who love him. You can see their frustration, but you also see the caring. I wish him well. The film is good, not in the echelon of the Anthrax and Rush documentaries, but worth watching.

I'm hesitant to actually discuss this incredible film because of the many parallels to my own life. However, the music Bobby Liebling has created, and the relief to know that he's been so prolific, coupled with the incredible ending, absolutely compelled me to at least put these few thoughts down, so as to contribute my voice to the thousands of fans who are so grateful not only for this film, but for Pentagram.Another amazing aspect of this story is the feeling one gets that this band can very rightly claim that they were, are, and ever shall be the Greatest Rock Band Never To Have made It, and as such, will be almost sorry if they ever do, for fear that that magic, that music made on the very edge of desperation, may be lost once Fame steps in and drops a giant deuce all over everything.

This is the sad story of Bobby Liebling, strung out on every narcotic you can think of, a mere shadow of the stage-commanding metal god we all remember him as, reduced to the heart-tugging confines of his parents' basement.This is very much like the film, Anvil: The Story of Anvil, showing us the harsh realities befallen to some bands, despite their moments in the sun, and their God-given resiliency to forge on and keep the music alive.Next to death for seemingly the majority of his life, Bobby somehow manages to conquer his demons, find love, and revive his musical career in a heart-warming culmination of survival, spurred by an amazing assortment of friends and family.The metal lives, and Bobby, you're helping to lead the way.
