That's the one LF. The director Penelope Spheeris has said that she'd thought at the time that the interview had been a total disaster...that they'd left Holmes' house thinking they'd wasted a day's filming. Now of course it's the one scene everyone remembers.
Haven't watched the DVD sadly, only the version shown on Danish TV. You are right about Lars' dad, Torben. He is a real character. He used to be a tennis pro (I don't know if you know this). Actually my late grandmother and he were peripheral friends when they were teenagers, and she used to say that he changed...a lot!
How funny! I wonder if he gew that stange beard after Lars became a successful rock star?
It's worth seeing the DVD extras...some great moments...such as Lars' son going on stage to throw a Spiderman web out on the audience and the crowd getting the wrong idea thinking he was doing the devil sign...plus there's an extended clip of that TRAGIC therapy session with Dave Mustaine...and the collaboration between Metallica and Jah Rule the rap star when Bob Rock embarrasses himself by trying to be 'street'....
Talking of great rock documentaries...have you seen Dig?
No, haven't seen that one unfortunately, just took a look at IMDB and it seems interesting. And only £10 at Amazon...
