Essentially the home movies of some die-hard Metallica fans, this documentary boasts access to the stars, as well as some hilarious moments of drunken debauchery among the faithful. Filmed around the time that Jason Newsted joined the band, many fans voice their displeasure at where the music was going, while praising what had come before. Interviews with Slayer's Tom Araya (who wonders aloud: is Metallica too scared to tour with Slayer?), Anthrax's Scott Ian, Madonna (whose expression when asked "and you are?" is truly classic), and Rob Halford of Judas Priest, make this an interesting document of the scene in 1996. Meanwhile the maniacal, drunken antics of the fans are highly entertaining, in an up close and personal look at what goes on at concerts, both behind the scenes and in the audience.

Description:

This exhaustive collection of video material gathers every Metallica music video recorded between 1989 and 2004.

Packed with bonus material, this collection also includes 1989's "2 of One" and tracks previously unreleased in North America.

Description:

Directed by Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky, SOME KIND OF MONSTER takes a shockingly in-depth look at Metallica, one of the world's most popular heavy metal bands. The documentary begins in 2001, just after longtime bassist Jason Newsted leaves the group. Surprised by this sudden departure, the remaining band members, particularly singer/guitarist James Hetfield and drummer Lars Ulrich, struggle to record an album without a permanent bass player, a situation that reopens many old wounds, including the loss of Newsted's predecessor, Cliff Burton, who died in a 1986 bus accident. The group even decides to hire a therapist, leading to a series of incredibly emotional confrontations and revelations. Berlinger and Sinofsky's movie is unquestionably one of the most revealing rock documentaries ever made. Given almost unlimited access to tape the band during a crisis period of nearly three years, the filmmakers capture the members of Metallica both together and individually in remarkably intimate detail. Although the film features Metallica's music and includes vintage footage of the band's early days, it primarily focuses on the difficulties involved with recording the 2003 album ST. ANGER. The end result is not so much a film about Metallica, but a dramatic (and occasionally funny) portrait of a long-running band attempting to understand itself.

Description:

Metallica's 1991 self-titled record marked a change in direction for the band, who were enjoying immense popularity for their brand of heavy metal--a faster, harder sound than most of the more popular acts out there. However, this record thrust the band into the mainstream because of its slowed-down tempos and, most importantly, well-written songs. This episode of the CLASSIC ALBUMS series goes behind the scenes of the making of that record using interviews with the band, archival footage, demos, and live performances to tell the story of one of the biggest selling metal records of all time.
