METAL 0 Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 http://www.movie-list.com/trailers.php?id=metallicasomekindofmonster Looking forward to getting a watch of this one. Supposed to be an uncomfortable watch, warts and all, band imploding on itself kind of thing. Link to post Share on other sites
TheOrange 0 Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 I'm not a fan, but I saw about 10 minutes of that on the tv here (mtv? one of the satellite channels). It actually looked quite interesting. Link to post Share on other sites
yamayamayama 2 Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 I'm not a fan, but this is well worth a watch. After all, metal is always funny, even if you don't like it. ---- Ostensibly chronicling the making of the St. Anger album, there's little music on hand. Instead, a fractured family・faces, via therapy, every embarrassing detail in order to rebuild itself, while this group of middle-aged men struggle to maintain their firebrand ideologies. We witness bassist Jason Newsted's departure, singer Hetfield's unannounced 11-month sojourn into rehab, the PR disaster of drummer Ulrich's war with Napster・ Frankly, the band doesn't come off well. Hetfield's a control freak, Ulrich's a hypocrite and guitarist Hammett is pathetically non-confrontational. Yet the doc isn't a hatchet job, rather encouraging sympathy by capturing plenty of heart-breaking sadness. Link to post Share on other sites
