My shitty punk/hardcore bank recorded a demo about 19 years ago with a young engineer who was looking to put a portfolio together. This engineer was working at the same local studio as Bob Rock at the time (which studio was owned by Bryan Adams, no less). One day the engineer is at the studio mixing our demo, and Bob busts in. He hears a few seconds of one of our songs and angrily demands that the engineer “turn this shit off!”. He further admonished the engineer and made it clear that he was never to play our demo in his presence again. I can’t say my (decidedly amateur) musical career had many highlights, but having Bob Rock hear our music and it pissing him off was definitely one of them.
As good as the acepalm is, my favorite moment in this move (one of my favorites in any movie, honestly) is in one of the band meetings when Kirk says something about how nobody listens to what he has to say and everyone in the room completely ignores it. This is a close second.
I’ll never forget the day St. Anger came out. I was about to head over to Best Buy to pick up the cd, only to realize that my car had been stolen. Turns out that would be the second worst thing to happen to me that day.
I paid $1100 for the St. Anger/Some Kind of monster Cd and DVD combo...Let me explain: I "won" this DVD from a radio quiz call in bullshit in New Orleans, went to the radio station to pick up my prize, came out -- Truck got towed! $1100 and 6 hours later, I'm blasting the worst Metallica album in history. I literally threw it out the window. I still have the dvd. Talk about St. Anger!!
I strongly sympathise with Kirk as somebody who was into playing thrash and heavy metal in my youth but now just wants to play dad rock and boomer bends. He just wants to do that sweet 15b17 on the neck pickup of his Paul, but he's in the biggest heavy metal band in the world and they expect him to shred. Truly a gilded cage.
The amazing thing about some kind of monster is that they didn't look at the footage and go "Wow, we look like complete idiot children, lets burn all these tapes". They put it in theatres. Unreal in so many ways
@@stevec6427 The album makes so much more sense in the context of how it was created. It's still not a great album, but as an artistic statement of honesty and vulnerability it's pretty remarkable. Did the documentary dismantle the image of the untouchable rockstars? Absolutely it did. But releasing it was more courageous than most other rockstars would've been capable of.
@@JayBirdNJ. I wonder what you expect from a band documentary. Also, it shows really well what happens when you don't learn a healthy way to talk about your feelings. I'd say the fact they went to therapy is actually a very mature way of dealing with that situation. And of course that involves talking about themselves.
Love this movie. Every band that was around in the 2000's can quote this endlessly. "Why don't we go hammer it out instead of hammering on each other?" Pure gold. I saw a preview screening of this because my girlfriend at the time's friend was on the Metallica street team. I was laughing the whole way through while everyone else just glared at me. Easily the best comedy of 2003.
Sometimes... every once in a while... it's good to remember that Metallica made an album of 7-8 minute long songs where they tried to sound like nu metal. And there couldn't have been a better thing than Pat Finnerty to remind me this time
Imagine going "Hey we're Metallica, what should we be doing? I know, we'll listen to the radio and mimic whatever flash in the pan crap is the current hotness!"
@@whatilearnttoday5295 the double whammy is that they were late to the party and they didn't even do it well lol. the result sounds like 3rd rate Slipknot and System of a Down rejects with a burnt-out James Hetfield singing
Bob Rock is on their Wikipedia page under Band Members, the only entry as a "Session/Touring Musician", with credit for playing bass from 2001-2003. I wonder who put that in there...
Kirk telling that unlike Jaymz and Lars, he doesn't have an ego in one scene and then losing his shit in another when they're talking about not putting any guitar solos on the album is another great pair of moments.
@@RootzillaTo be fair, taking out solos is a MASSIVE FU to a lead guitarist. Also I'm pretty sure Kirk goes into withdrawal if he doesn't get to abuse his wah wah pedal.
Ha, I just found out from this video that Lars is 3 years older than I am and it made me feel like “Hey, I’m still pretty young; I’m younger than Lars.”
If aliens came down and told me to show them anything I think makes Earth worth not destroying, I would show them you. You are a bright light sir in this dark world
I distinctly remember my parents watching Some Kind Of Monster for the first time in like 2007-8 and they wouldn't stop talking about how funny it was for like a week straight
It's almost 8:00 in the morning, I'm getting ready to leave the house and then I hear your voice coming from the TV in the other room. I suddenly and instinctively screamed hell yeah and woke up my baby..
SKOM is a fascinating insight into the minds of two people who are utterly self obsessed, while utterly lacking in self awareness at the same time. How they could have sat through the final edit of this and not realised that it was an absolute car crash is baffling. I get that James was going through rehab, and Lars was desperately trying to pretend that he wasn't a heavy metal drummer and suck up to the art crowd, but somebody must have had doubts at some point during the viewing.
I'm bummed I missed the livestream, but psyched to see your periscope come up signaling your continued existance, Pat. You've provided many emotional lifts for me with the content you produce and by giving me reasons to believe there are at least some good eggs left in the world by undoubtedly being one. So thanks for continuing in that vein as well. You're a legend, fine sir!
The Kirk Hammett face palm is real. Input-wise, he absolutely knows, all too well, that James and Lars regard him as the 2nd most expendable member after Jason.
One of the best parts is when James is bitching to Kirk about decisions being made when he’s not in the studio, and Kirk’s response is “now you know how I’ve been feeling for the last 20 years”
Dude. I laughed for a good 30 minutes. I could listen to you rip on Metallica for hours...and I love Metallica as most of us do. But it's rich to call them on their corn ponerey lmao.
I once saw Lars at the Whole Foods in San Francisco. Even made eye contact. Overheard him muttering to his wife that he doesn’t like broccoli and didn’t want any.
Thank you. Yes! Everclear never gets anywhere near its deserved amount of hate. All their songs are written from the perspective of a 13 year old boy whose parents just got divorced.
@ I saw a band “The Marvelous Three” (led by the formidable Butch Walker of August is Falling fame) play Everclear’s single lick that they turned into four songs
Fuel check - I won the first album on some local radio trivia call in. Had the "In my hands" song on it. I was still taking guitar lessons at that time and had discovered Megadeth. It was a time I lived through.
"you know what guys? lets just get in there and hammer it out instead of hammering at each other..." - theres always that one guy. "MOM, DAD, STOP FIGHTING ITS THANKSGIVING!!! 😢"
37:26 on the contrary, there’s newspaper articles detailing over 300 separate instances of banana peel-slippage happening in the US alone - many of which are even more cartoonish than you’d imagine (my personal favorite involves a kid in sedalia who slipped on a banana peel. he also happened to be carrying dynamite in his pocket for whatever reason, so that exploded when he hit the ground and blew off one of his fingers)
Nothing But Thieves is legit as hell but being an opener is all nepotism can buy you in the rock and roll world. Now pop music, that's a different story.
I would say that St Anger came with a DVD of the band playing the material live together in a garage type situation and it was a hundred times better than the record, along with a normal live drum sound.
Best bit of the film as Lars saying how "its not about the money of course" when trying to flog his Basquiat painting. Could have saved himself alot a trouble suing the Napster people there pal.
Metallica was my first concert! Saw Metallica with The Cult opening in 1989 when I was 12 years old. 12 also seems to be the mental age of Metallica members.
Every 10 years or so I do the reverse Metallica triple feature (Some Kind of Monster, then A Year and a Half in the Life of Metallica pts 1 and 2, then CLiff 'Em All. As someone who could pretty much take or leave Metallica for the most part, I highly recommend it. At the very least a double feature of Year and a Half Pt. 1/Monster is a great watch - they complement each other really well.
Great to hear from you again, Pat. However an F major with open b and e is very 70’s, specifically a British band called Caravan which I “discovered” in about 1980. Light, mostly humorous prog.
It’s 100% Lars trying to get under James’ skin. The shit eating grin as he’s playing the worst beat ever is a dead give away😂. Classic ‘you may be able to kick my ass, but I can mess with you in other ways’
I had a dental assistant cleaning my teeth who was singing along to 3 Doors Down Here Without You. I had a hair dresser once sing Nickelbacks Photograph while cutting my hair at Great Clips.
I don't think that I'd heard the word "verve" before the mid 90s...then there's suddenly 2 huge bands...The Verve and The Verve Pipe. I wonder if they ever played a show together...that might have been difficult. I'm pretty sure that The Verve were around first as they formed in the late 80s. Also...The Verve were amazing. They were like a more psychedelic Oasis with a much better singer.
I saw the Verve Pipe in 1996 playing a show in Houston with K's Choice. There was a meet and greet after the show and Vander Ark was bitching about the catering or some shit. Me and my friends were standing nearby and dude's manager looked at us and said, "I don't think he wants to meet you or sign anything. Sorry." We laughed so hard. I'm all, "Uh, I'm here to meet Sam and Gert - my band covers one of their songs."
You hit the nail on the head with Fuel being too long. This applies to literally every song on St Anger, no song is under 5 minutes and some approach the 9 minute mark. Not really acceptable when theres zero solos, the songs go absolutely nowhere that justify those runtimes.
I don't get how Bob Rock is allegedly why Metallica is as big as they are because Bob Rock basically Sergeant Rock'ed them to the brink of tears making the Black Album but he let this dumpster fire rage and just kept quiet in the corner.
I was flabbergasted at the Boulevard of Broken Dreams WMTSS suggestion because I love Green Day but then Pat wins me back by dunkin (HSG Reference!!??) on the real stinkers. Can't stay mad at you, my bald broski. Also can't wait for Uncle Kracker to be on the WMTSS chopping block.
I'm never going to get over Hetfield telling Lars, "I'm used to the drummer doing the beat." Lars Ulrich, a drummer so bad at keeping the beat that *the man saying this to him* is famously the guy who actually keeps the band in time.
Great to see you back Pat, sorry I missed the stream. Tip: Not 'The Cardiacs', simply 'Cardiacs'. Try searching TH-cam for the 'Some Fairytales From The Rotten Shed' videos.
This doc is insane, always loved it. Definitely more fun than the album, though St. Anger is honestly like a 6/10 for me, a fun-ish odd novelty album in retrospect
Dude, every department store I've ever been in (Midwest) has a bathroom. You ever think maybe the store is so big you've just never found the bathroom?

Bob Rock put out garbage music with his own bands (Payolas and Rock& Hyde) in Canada when I was a kid. He's hardly one to judge

@@vorpalblades I mean it's not great but it was certainly more interesting than anything Metallica have made in the last 20 years.

Bob Rock trying to weasel his way into Metallica will never not be the funniest thing of this whole documentary
I always thought the therapist was/should have been trying to get himself into the band too. If he succeeded he would not change his clothing style.
They were never going to let him join, especially as he spoke back to james disagreed with him over and over. metallica is an extension of his ego.

Realizing you're older now than Lars was then brought on a genuine (and admirably transient!) existential crisis.
This.. I too am approaching said age and fearing the demonstrated consequences.

Lars screaming at himself for accidentally finally putting the snare on "2" is downright iconic
Lars’ kids (two) are in a band together, called Taipei Houston. I actually saw them last week opening for nothing but thieves.
Nothing But Thieves is legit as hell but being an opener is all nepotism can buy you in the rock and roll world. Now pop music, that's a different story.
