So I finally got around to watching this. I was a HUGE Metallica fan back in the day - seen them live 8 or 9 times I'd guess. I didn't love Load / ReLoad...and I absolutely hated Saint Anger - which is why I stayed away from this doc.
Finally watched it last night.
It's an interesting doc for sure.
James and Lars come off as over-sensitive babies. If I was Newstead and was financially fine I would have left that shit too. LMAO at a metal band having a full time therapist.
Lars is such an asshole I don't know how he doesn't have a black eye 100% of the time. Such a cunt.
Kirk was cool. So was Trujillo (who I saw live with Suicidal back in the 90s)
But GOOD GAWD - The music in this doc is fucking garbage. I forgot how horrible of an album Saint Anger was. No shit - me and my buddies could grab a case of beer and knock out better shit in a single session.
