A 2hr documentary from the guys that made Paradise Lost (about the West Memphis 3).
Was supposed to be a puff-piece for the recording of the new album from Metallica, but with their bass player walking out prompting a host of problems it turns into watching a band disintegrate before your eyes.
It's excellent, even if (like me) you used to enjoy their music before the Black album turned them into Bon Jovi and they started wearing mascara and boas.

It's especially interesting/amusing if you're in a band, because you'll see the same discussions and arguments from a multi-million selling band that you've had endlessly.
Interesting to hear Newstead's side of things, why he left and the ensuing chaos of them not talking/dissing each other.
And if you're a Metallica fan from way back, it's fantastic to see Ulrich talking to Dave Mustaine after 15yrs.
Excellent to see Hetfield berate Ulrich for playing really bad drum patterns, amusing to watch Ulrich bellow into his face.

It's basically 2hrs of Hetfield shouting at Lars, Hammet sitting quietly and being effete, Lars shouting #@%& a lot and some pyscho-analyst telling them to embrace the fog whilst Bob Rock sighs and doesn't care.

Oh, and if you didn't think Ulrich was a tubby tennis pro who gurns like a Scally in a full-blown E gurn? Watch him get moody about Napster stealing his songs, yet makes $5,000,000 from the sale of some of his art collection. Yeah, Napster really hurt you didn't it?

There's an accompanying book too.

They made a bit of a mistake there: assuming most Metallica fans can read.

The special edition slipcase version is rather strangely the same price as the regular one so I snapped it up sharpish.

Just ordered this on DVD. Hopefully I'll have it soon. Can't wait to see Lars and Dave Mustaine speaking again. :D

I'd let Lars download my band, and I don't have millions of dollars of art hanging from my walls or a private jet.
What a puss

So what? I'd make my kids available for download if I had any. Only fair.

I've seen them going on about Napster on MTV a while back.

"Our albums are like children"

Oh STFU!

Drums free kit from his inability to keep time I'd say.
Hell, even his singer ends up saying "I'm used to the drummer playing the drum part...y'know, a beat?"

Everyone thinks he's mental, I just reckon he has a hands free kit.

Yep, Hetfield Hammet & Trujillo seem normal. It's just Lars with his constant slurping and gurning that needs to join a covers band and play clubs.
He's just...a bad drummer and a fool
