..went to see this documentary this evening.. I don't really like Metallica's music, but after reading about this I just had to see it..
the documentary is 140 minutes long and follows Metallica for 2 years, from 2001 to 2003.. the grouprelations go to shit and a kind of highly paid councilor is hired and starts to help them..
this film is VERY funny.. just shows the ridiculous ego's that a rockband of this magnitude can create..
countless extraordinary moments - one of the most notable a conversation between drummer Lars Ulrich and Dave Mustaine, who got kicked out of Metallica in the early eighties, where it comes out that Mustaine has been feeling like shit for the last 20 years, each and every time he sees or hears anything concerning Metallica he feels like he fucked up. incredible.
if you liked "This is Spinal Tap", you'll like this.

dave mustaine feels like he fucked up? he must be thinking of all the money they've made, because metallica's music has gone from bad to worse since the eighties.

Master of puppets can be cool though.. like fast and entertaining. There is a certain type of really intricate guitar playing that rivals idm in intricate complexity... the best example is pearl jam's (I think the quite long guitar parts in "even flow" or some other song.)

I don't want to see this.. I don't even acknowledge their existence anymore. They're Metallica in body only, not mind.
While it's been all downhill since Master of Puppets, the Black Album is still solid for what it is, and I'm in the minority that enjoys Load and Reload. I get an early '70s bluesrock vibe from them, but every dumb prick back in '96 compared it more to modern day alternative for some undefined reason.
St. Anger, well... there's no excuse for that.

Are you a big Metallica fan? Well I am, and it's not funny at all to me, it's just depressing and distressing. :_-( If Ringo decided to make a gangster rap album, it would be kind of the same thing... there's definitely comedic potential there, but I'd more likely too embarrassed and mortified to laugh.

Funny you mention that. I used to be a metallica fan, I hated Load, but Reload was decent. Started off with the ol classic "for whom the bell tolls". I will also not be seeing this movie unless I happen to be at a party where someone is playing it in their living room and I'm piss drunk. They have gone to shit and now that I'm older and wiser I see them for the cunts they are. They lost their 'humble-ness' as soon as they started living in mansions and buying expensive art, trying to push their way into upper-class. "Alcaholica" was a spot on description of them. Just bitter, rich fucks who cant get along with people in general.

I really want to see this. St Anger is awful, awful shit and I want to see the process that went on in the band's heads to make them think they were making something worthwhile. Plus Lars is an asshole and it'll be funny to see that dickhead talking about his feelings.

you'd be surprised.. I mean, Ulrich is being an ass in the film, but you kind of can see where he's coming from.
Hetfield is just being a domineering ass.
you'll also get to see Ulrich's father - which is... special.

I'll alert my friend (who listens to 'metal' and enjoys the 'music' of 'Metallica') of this one. I'd like to see it as well, sounds.... interlesting.

that those documentaries will most probably be a lot more polished and "band-friendly" than this one.
this certainly has some very embarrassing moments for the band in it.

the same metallica who sued its fans, now it wants them to see what a changed bunch of rich assholes they have become, this is just a feeble atempt to attract some of the fans they lost when they forgot how to play music, and turned into rich assholes.

they also turned into rich assholes before this movie. but i could never watch the movie objectively. i would always think they are trying to earn millions, once again. the movie might be good, but i will never watch it, its kind of like movies with ben affleck or julia roberts in them, something in the back of your mind is saying, here's another rich asshole trying to become even richer.

Why does everyone say only the very first couple albums of any band are the best. Like that's the cool thing to say. The music geek mantra.

its funny though, because the first couple of metallica albums, although not my cup of tea, are actually good, while their latter shit, is well, shit. you could make an argument for the black album, but i am sticking to my story.
