It becomes critical to send a “war wagon” to “Gastown”. The warlord practices hydraulic diplomacy in the region, literally, and has power over a variety of intricate and complicated steampunk-style machinery. Max is captured by the minions of a local warlord in a scene taken nearly shot-by-shot from The Postman. The tiresome trope of “the hero is overcome by his visions in the middle of the action” occurs again and again. It’s just the subject of endless flashbacks that become more and more intrusive. This fact – the death of Max’s family – is alluded to again and again during Fury Road, but it’s never explained. It does, however, feature a scene in which Max’s wife and child are killed by gang members. It’s not dystopian, really, and it doesn’t take place after the wholesale collapse of society. Have you seen the original Mad Max? If you haven’t, you’ll be surprised at the fact that it’s not The Road Warrior. What I was not prepared for was this: Mad Max: Fury Road just plain sucks.

I knew all of this before the first digital frame of this movie appeared on the screen, and I was prepared to live with it. Only by becoming a “feminist ally” can a man have any worth in society. Old white men are the source of all the world’s evil and they are always trying to “own” babies, er, fetuses, er, tissue, that should be the property of women. Insofar as I have an Internet connection and the ability to use it, I knew prior to walking into the new “Mad Max” film that I’d be effectively paying to be preached at, and the sermon would be the American-media orthodoxy of 2015: Women are just like men, only smarter, braver, and tougher. So you could even argue that I’m okay with paying for the privilege of being preached at. Once in a while, I’d toss a couple of bucks in the collection plate, as well. I mean, I’ve played guitar in a few church bands, and not all of the churches in question would let me sleep in my car during the sermon. Mad Max: Fury Road is out on Blu-Ray and DVD in October.I don’t mind being preached to. Why Mad Max: Fury Road Is The Most Metal Film We've Ever Seen And, as a figurehead for heavy metal in the acting world, we could do a lot worse that The Doof Warrior. So, no I haven’t ever encountered homophobia in the metal world like you might do in the rap world.” I know I could go to a metal concert and people are wearing make-up and you can’t even always tell the boys from the girls, and I’ll go to a show and see lots of other gay fans of heavy music. But I think metal is one of the most open-minded groups of people that I know. “My whole life has been about putting flags in the ground,” is his steely reply when asked if his sexuality has ever been something people have had a problem with, “for every aspect of my life. This isn’t something you’ll hear from every Hollywood star, but if iOTA dodges clichés there he also does so with the fact that he is an openly gay rock musician – something which, let’s be honest, is still something of a rarity. If I went to a desert island I’d have to take Roots by Sepultura with me. I always loved Pantera when they were the shit during the ‘90s, I’m a big Rob Zombie fan, I love big voices like in Iron Maiden and I guess the current one would be Mastodon. “There’s a big element of glam rock in what I do,” he tells us, “but I just love the sound of heavy music. I paint as well and even my paintings are big and loud. I mean I love being on stage and I love rock and I love metal, and that’s a big influence for me, but just performer is fine… I don’t know. Even the theatre stuff I’ve done, it is musical but I hate ‘musicals’. “If I was to try and put myself in a nutshell it would be performing… but loud and aggressive. But, when asked, even he struggles to sum up his career and what he does succinctly.
IOTA is, as we’ve mentioned, a man with many strings to his bow – an award-winning actor and accomplished guitarist with five albums under his name.
