Even without the commercial success people of the future will believe that the Norse god thor literally came down from Asgard in the 1980s to form a heavy metal band on earth. This guy is immortalized no matter what
Watched it last night and I was suprised how good it was! GREAT Documentary that makes you want to root for a seemingly good guy that NEVER gives up. Can't knock Thor he's done more in his life than any hater watching this trailer- HAIL THOR!
He could of lived a quiet peaceful life in the suburbs. Maybe occasionally popped up at a comic con or something and reminisce with fans about his metal days and talk about his film rolls that is probably more popular now thanks to MST3K/Rifftrax. But not everyone is suited to live the quiet life. For anyone who felt the rush of performing on stage and traveled the world experiencing the fame, success, and women that comes with it it would be to hard to ever want to settle down in one spot for to long and try to live a normal quiet life.
Showman shape, muscular and good looking, entertaining as hell, good at singing, plenty of crazy strongman tricks in his repertoire, a little cheesiness in his performances but, hell, those were the Eighties... anyway, it's simply a SHAME he didn't get the fame he deserved!!!!!
I would love to see this. I first found out about Thor in a UK music mag in 2004. I don't remember him getting any MTV play or Hit Parader press in the '80s. I like his act, though. Kinda like if He-Man fronted a metal band.
Oh man, this is really sad. I hate riches to rags stories like this, this is like the metal version of "The Wrestler" with Mickey Rourke. On the other hand it shows the person behind the mask and the real person off stage, and I think that lends real humanity to someone who was otherwise seen as "just another metal wannabe". As William Shatner once said, "In order to be a has-been, you have to have been someone in the first place." And I would just like to say to Thor, you STILL are someone! I was a fan of yours then and I'm a fan NOW thirty years later! "KNOCK EM' DOWN!"
Lusty Rhonda MacPhallus Yeah, me too, but you realize that this is a guy with a glorious past and no future, and no way out of his situation. I liked what The Wrestler said when he was having a beer with Marisa Tomei. He was talking about the 80's being 'the best time with the best music" and then he said "until the 90's and that pussy Kurt Cobain came around". Cheers erupted in the theater when he said that.
Lol, amen to that. Some damn good hair metal tunes in the 80's. Ratt and Crue were my favorite of that particular genre. I'm more a traditional metal head, NWOBHM, that sort of thing. I don't really know anything about Thor, bar one or two songs I heard on compilation albums years ago. I love rock documentaries, but it says its riches to rags - I don't like those. No chance he'll resurrect his career in todays market. Hopfully he'll make a few quid from his film, like Anvil did, but the Anvil movie was a Spinal Tap, it was destined for success.
Lusty Rhonda MacPhallus NWOBHM, say no more. Raven is the head of the pack in my book. Always loved those guys! I had a British classmate when I went to school here in America and he came back from summer vacation in England with the Rock Until You Drop album and from there he introduced me to more bands. NWOBHM was, like ANY great genre, prolific, short lived, and oozing with classic sound.
I love Raven. I don't know if they would have cracked it or not, but when they were getting decent label support, a wall fell down on the guitarist crushing his legs - putting the band on hiatus for a couple of years. They supported Metallica in Brazil last year, so they are still gigging anyway. NWOBHM was great - Tygers Of Pan Tang were my favorites of that sound. Downloading has killed rock music now. It must be so frustrating putting an album out then watch it pop up on download sites. I miss the 80/90s, none of that reality bullshit, and there was tons of good music in circulation. I dread to think what the scene will be like in ten years, all the classic bands are getting really old now - there will be nothing out there.
I just found out about Thor about one year ago, he is awesome. I would take care of my health if I were him, may be stop doing some things, and just sing. But he is absolutely awesome. Hail Thor!
I watched the film, and this guy is a fuckin saint, legend, and underrated performer. The movie was fuckin fantastic. Steve price is awesome at guitar btw.
Thor was married to Cherry Bomb, Ms. Bomb worked for mens magazines like Cheri(haha) and a few others. Ms. Bomb was on some magazine covers, I think she also interviewed rock stars and that's how she hooked up with Thor. After Thor's career died out in the 80's they moved to her home state of North Carolina. They led a quiet life until Thor wanted to perform again then they divorced.
Fk it. It's one thing to not achieve the dream, but it's another thing to just give up. You can know you won't make it to where you want to be, but that doesn't mean you don't go all-out and give it your fkin best. Take the moment and rock.
The reason a band like The Rolling Stones have been around so long is their style of music. Metal - Hard rock is a young man's/woman's game. Does anyone want to see a guy in his mid 70's dressed in make up and spikes singing "Christeen 16" ???? Tony Bennett in his 90's and still crooning works. Guys in their 70's trying to scream and jump around like they are 20 for 20 year old girls does not. There are many styles of music but Metal isn't one that forgives aging. Jon had his run. He did what he could do in a Metal market glutted with make up and hair and gimmicks. It burnt itself out just like Disco. Too many, too many sounding the same. A smart move would be to open your gyms and produce other bands here and there. Love or hate him no one can knock the guy for at least trying to find his place and trying to be somewhat different.
Dude, stop! You're old! Stop! I'm tired of Geezer acts recycling their glory days into these old folks home tours. And I can say that, I just turned 60. Kiss, Rolling Stones, all you guys, yeah, I still listen to the music they made when they were young but I wouldn't pay a nickel to see them live today!
most of this movie was very sad untel he got to finland and people treated him like a rock star, i'm not sheer what it is about northern europeans and metal,the germans are the same. in america metal is not popular in any way, the most popular bands are the cookie moster sream'o bands, i'm not a fan of any of that, i love classic metal and rock.
Give it up. NOBODY wants to see an out of shape grandpa on stage doing metal. That isn't going to sell. Metal is for the young. That's just the way it is.
he's trying to do the anvil thing with the documentary lol. GIVE IT UP!! You were great in your prime, we all get old but small bands like Thor compared to huge Banda like KISS,SABBATH,ROLLING STONES,they can get away with it because they have the huge record label & money behind them to put on a great show but Thor & anvil do not.
Ik the guy personally and he is an extremely talented and entertaining person whatever u say can't keep him from his passion so u can shoo with your stupid ass criticism😂
You're just that kind of guy that would even say this to Lemmy Kilmister when he's still around . Thor is a legend that should be known and live with his passion . He has the balls to get back what most people wouldnt dare. Once a metalhead , always a metalhead.
Even without the commercial success people of the future will believe that the Norse god thor literally came down from Asgard in the 1980s to form a heavy metal band on earth. This guy is immortalized no matter what
THOR IS GREAT ENTERTAINER.
... ⚡
i guess I am kind of randomly asking but does anybody know a good site to watch newly released series online?
@Kaiden Kane flixportal xD
@Ellis Douglas thank you, I signed up and it seems to work =) Appreciate it!!
I saw Thor on his comeback tour. What a guy. All for the fans, he worked his ass off - and the crowd loved it.
Respect!
Watched it last night and I was suprised how good it was! GREAT Documentary that makes you want to root for a seemingly good guy that NEVER gives up.
Can't knock Thor he's done more in his life than any hater watching this trailer- HAIL
THOR!
I love Thor! Its heartbreaking seeing what happened to him. But I`m so glad hes back.
He could of lived a quiet peaceful life in the suburbs. Maybe occasionally popped up at a comic con or something and reminisce with fans about his metal days and talk about his film rolls that is probably more popular now thanks to MST3K/Rifftrax.

He deserves a comeback. Another shot to achieve what he longs for!

+Kain Nosgoth Wrestler was so tragic - I hated the end.

I was six feet tall and 130 lbs. I ADORE this man. He was also a really sweet guy.
Thor! Swing your Hammer Way up high.
Thor the mighty, Thor the Brave
You're GREAT Thor...Hail from Italy!
Thor is the best! Hail Thor! Cheers from Brazil!
I remember reading about Thor in Metal Maniacs Magazine back in the eighties. The only strongman singer in a heavy rock band that I know of.
I Watched this today, Great movie! Gained a new respect for Thor's never give up attitude, Real life Spinal Tap!!!!
1:30 Seth Putnam came back from the Dead to see Thor live
Resurrection is gay
I just found out about Thor about one year ago, he is awesome. I would take care of my health if I were him, may be stop doing some things, and just sing. But he is absolutely awesome. Hail Thor!
God bless this guy I hope he gets what he wants out of life
I seen Thor back in 1978 or 79. Great live show, the club he was playing was full that night.
I know Thor he always picked up cd's from my dad and entertained me and my sister back when we were in elementary the guy is awesome
Thor hang in van
Anger is my yardie name.lol
THOR come to Brazil
meu maior sonho pqp
I watched the film, and this guy is a fuckin saint, legend, and underrated performer. The movie was fuckin fantastic. Steve price is awesome at guitar btw.
Holy shit, this makes Anvil look like nothing!

Amazing amazing
He's still great live - has fun and knows what entertains people. No attitude, and still can write catchy songs. Waiting for the new album - soon!
Thunder on the tundra was definitely in my top 10 of 80's metal favorites. but this is sad and difficult to watch.
+James Walker I remember it well James, I used to read Kerrang magazine here in Ireland during the 80s, it covered all the early metal bands!!
DIFFERENTy is older
But so what
My bones hurts
Mistress IL⚡⚡A on covid lock down
... 🗡⛓⚡THOR RULES ! ⚡⛓🗡
He should have returned as Odin.
I hope he's doing great..much love and respect!👍👍👍👍👍- Justin
When asked if the old man ever crapped himself on stage, he simply replied, "It depends".
Yeah Let the blood run reeed! Thor rocks!!
The best!
He is awesome
This approach worked for Anvil. Why not Thor?
Hail, son of Odin!!!!
Great singer and great actor too
+Pater Emeritus i think the moon was the star of that movie, but the van was a good character too.
Steve price is great
This made me so sad.
this is great cant wait
Whre can I watch this?
I want him to shout "bring me Thanos!"
great documentary.
Looks like an interesting film in the vein of the Anvil movie from a few years ago.
Jackass Metal! Fck yeah!!
When ya see how well that Anvil movie did and have an idea lolz!
I find it awkward the only way I learned about Thor was because of watching a review of his movie a few years back. I like a few of his songs though.
And does anyone here know where you can get the lyrics for the tribute song called "Mighty Thor" by the Rocker band?
This was a great flick. Still on Netflix!
Damn...I cant Believe that!
Thor = God Mode
Fk it. It's one thing to not achieve the dream, but it's another thing to just give up. You can know you won't make it to where you want to be, but that doesn't mean you don't go all-out and give it your fkin best. Take the moment and rock.
Metallica: "If you're Thor then i am the TABLE!!!"
This guy was a bodybuilder or was a genetic freak? He had a great body for those times.
Thikk Thor Anger Odinson

This trailer makes the DVD worth buying so I bought it. It sucks big time, his music is good but the video is not
Ozzy le estaba partiendo la jeta
Give it up. NOBODY wants to see an out of shape grandpa on stage doing metal. That isn't going to sell. Metal is for the young. That's just the way it is.
Mick Jagger has a doubt on that.

Hail Thor pussy
You're just that kind of guy that would even say this to Lemmy Kilmister when he's still around .
Thor is a legend that should be known and live with his passion . He has the balls to get back what most people wouldnt dare.
Once a metalhead , always a metalhead.
Madre mía... Que personaje más patético.
I remember being at school in the 80s and being impressed by his muscles and his ladies rack in Kerrang
Jhh
