Guitar Meets Science has shared a new mini-documentary about very longtime HardRadio friends MANOWAR. "This week, we delve into the greasy, fur-covered, and absolutely absurd world of Manowar during their Into Glory Ride era. We explore the story behind their infamous loincloth image—a decision that turned them into the laughing stock of the metal world yet cemented their status as the ultimate cult band. We'll uncover the disastrous photoshoots, the freezing cold tours spent in animal skins, the backstage fights over 'false metal' clothing, and Joey DeMaio's relentless refusal to wear pants. We look at how their obsession with being 'True Metal' alienated the mainstream press, baffled their peers like Metallica, and created one of the most bizarre legacies in rock history."
