Correction: It was Bob Rock that wanted Holier Than Thou as the first Black album single not Lars. In the clip from A Year and a Half In the Life of Metallica they are sitting together and Lars is nodding along with Bob but turns out he wasn't agreeing after all. ;) Thanks to @ajzamojski for letting me know.

Mike, I haven't watched the video yet. I don't know if you know there is a book that came out shortly after that was written by the filmmakers called this monster lives. It's really good and they talk in depth about their Journey making the film and more about some of the things that went on with the band that wasn't included in the footage

Got that year and half documentary 2 video set for my 17th birthday back 91 or was it 92..?? Watched both of them that many times i felt like i was in metallica lol. I was obsessed with this band from 88 to 96. They seemed like such fun loving dudes, living the dream, so the some kinda monster documentary was a difficult watch, like invasion of the body snatchers, what happened to my heros kinda thing.

nah. he probably tells everyone that's what his intention was. but that couldn't be further from the truth. watch his body language and posturing and wording. he's very manipulative. def high-ish IQ, but not high IQ enough to mastermind a plan like that. when he handed the lyrics to james, he really thought he did something. that wasn't an act. he was wicked butthurt that james thought it was silly.

But James keeping his cool always gave me the feeling it was a "game" moment. Not that it was a fake moment, but part of a process understood by everyone in the room.

You should watch some of the bonus footage they shot. There's like hours of it but there's some good stuff there. There's a part where Kirk is struggling to play a riff and can't quite get it, James is trying his hardest to be patient with him and Lars is in the background like "Dude, your sweating." Another is the whole Swizz Beatz/Ja Rule collaboration. It's probably the worst rap/rock crossover ever, it's downright terrible, but it's fascinating to watch these guys put it together and see how into it they are.

St Anger was just a record that was totally overthought and when that happens everything's a struggle. Even on the St Anger tour when I saw them in London I think they played 1 from the album. Most bands have that 1 album that sticks out from the rest because it just doesn't work. The therapist creaming $40k a month is an utter piss take. He probably retired after how much he made from them.

To be fair, Metallica always played Thing in C# tuning live. Even during the Damage Inc. Tour in 86', they played it half-step down from the studio recording. My guess is that James wasn't able to sing up to pitch live, so they dropped it down for live performances.

It's documentaries like this and the Beatles "Get Back" that allow you to get a glimpse of what was happening at that time. Aerosmith's "The Making of Pump" was also a great watch for some of the same reasons. I wish there would have been something like this for classic Van Halen, but then again, I prefer the larger than life mystique that band possesses; not to mention that everyone probably had non-disclosure agreements most likely. The closest we got to anything like that was The Tape Archive's great KZfaq documentaries on the before and after of 1984.

If you watch the extra footage, it always felt to me like SKOM had two main story arcs. One were the psychological issues between Lars and James (and the demons they had to face themselves). The other one was Jason leaving the band and then being „in limbo“ for a significant period, basically the whole power struggle between Jason and James (and the band still having psychological scars after Cliff‘s death). Get Back (or the Let It Be movie from the 1960s) were probably similar to SKOM since they were both showing a band in a crisis. But the Beatles seemed more mature, and most of the arguments they had were actually normal band disputes. It was four guys reaching the age of 30 while having spent a decade of touring, album recordings and crazy media frenzy together, with all of them already having their own solo careers in mind (and John, Paul and George becoming songwriters too big to be in the same band). With Metallica it seemed like they were all in some form of midlife crisis (including Bob Rock), figuring out something new without finding a proper direction, and then eventually deciding on trying to get their shit together to keep the band working.

Awesome video dude! It’s funny actually that the way you felt originally about this movie was totally the opposite experience for me. The movie came out when I was 16 and started taking guitar and drum playing seriously round that time. My mum got me to watch the movie and it turned me into a Metallica fan! My favourite period of Metallica’s career will always be the 80’s for me since becoming a fan, but I will always appreciate this movie and St. Anger for allowing me to explore their back catalogue. At the time I was studying media and went on to producing an animated music video for the song Battery which got me my best grades in college. Was such a blast at that time in the 00’s despite the bands struggles.

I'm not one of those people who crashes around talking about "they changed with this album" or "they sucked after that album" at all, it's mostly all subjective and we just like what we like and I don't judge anyone based on their favorite Metallica records. That said, my personal interest in them waned significantly by Reload, and I don't think I've even listened to Reload and any albums beyond it all the way through. Sometimes I feel I should give those records another shot but I just never do. I've also said I want to see them live again but have skipped 4 local appearances that I can remember and haven't seen them live since 1998. All that's to say, Mike summed it up perfectly: it may not be my bag anymore but I'm damn glad I live in a world where Metallica exists. We're very lucky people, everyone who was alive and grew up with the music from 1965-1995 was given a real gift.

I saw Some Kind of Monster in theaters and for me one of the coolest parts was seeing James Hetfield going to his daughter's ballet recital. It really hit home because during this time period I became a father. That's why I really connected with St Anger. Seeing Lars son Miles climb up on the stool and ask his dad if he wants to play "dums". Jason Newstead pissed me off. James Hetfield really pissed me off. His new to recovery bullshit and being scared and being selfish in not wanting Lars and Bob Rock to listen to something recorded at 4:15pm when James had to leave at 4pm after only working for four hours. I had never felt disdain like I did for James at that moment. The Mstaine stuff was very intimate and kinda hard to see him confess that his second place is failure. The bass audition stuff was great. Would love to see more of that. The Lars yelling fuck in James face was powerful and I was expecting Lars to throw a punch not James. I'm going to shove $10000 up your ass $1 at a time. The zone turning into The Bone was funny. This was a great documentary.

Watching this as more mature adult made me realise how much of a ego maniac control freak Hetfield is. Also, him going on vacation to Russia during his son's FIRST BIRTHDAY and then lamenting how sad he was to have missed it, like he had no other option about going to Russia to drink and hunt. Maybe, he could have stayed at home since he must have known it was kids birthday coming up. That is next level self centred behaviour, bordering sociopathy. Really turned me off watching that as an adult.

Hard to be honest in a room full of people. You should only ever open up to people who are truly safe. Learnt that the hard way.

Yup, exactly. These guys live in a privileged bubble being afforded freedoms us merely mortals could only dream of. Speaking your mind and being emotionally available just won't fly in most professional settings, for better or worse.

SKOM is a great documentary. and the fact that they put it out there is unreal. One thing they left out, for Jason's sake. The part where he wanted back in the band and they decided no. it was nice of them to not put it in.

Their therapist really thought he was apart of the band. And Bob Rock had the same dream lol

I first saw this documentary when I was 18 and thought the guys were cool and tough. I watch it now in my late 30s and I think they look like immature little kids. Still my favorite band.
