In the 1st episode, who says...


...that heavy metal appeals to the "reptilian brain"?

Looking for the guy's name and the full quote with that phrase in it.

Started watching it the other day...had recorded a few episodes and pleased to find out it was by the same guy who made the movie "Metal: A headbanger's journey". Looks interesting.

Thanks. I'm looking for a direct quote. Is that anywhere? It's quite a good quote, I think!

If you've got access to that ep, I'd appreciate the quote.

“There is something in heavy metal music that speaks to the reptilian brain. It doesn’t speak to the intellect. It doesn’t speak to a thought process thats on the surface. theres something that connects very viscerally with heavy metal music. That it just FEELS awesome” the quote is indeed from Tom Morrello, and I agree that it’s a great quote. In general Tom Morello seems quite well spoken, and like he has put a lot of thought into the subject.

Thanks! I remember watching Bowling For Columbine and being similarly impressed with Marilyn Manson's comments.
