The poignant story of two guys from Toronto who touched on heavy metal stardom in the 80's and then, after sliding into oblivion, kept the flame burning in their hearts.
It didn't help that the music they made was awful...well-crafted and played, simplistic, very loud bombast only suitable for drugged-out festival crowds and grotesquely inappropriate for weddings/bar mitzvahs. In a left-handed way you have to admire their determination to persevere and "make it," whatever that means. Fame and public recognition is addictive and, if carried to the extreme these two guys have, destructive.
Sad, sympathetically moving.
