Some Kind of Monster [Blu-ray]

I love Metallica and had just gone to their Dallas concert; I ordered this on our way home and received it 2 days later. I found it very entertaining and informative. It made me love the band even more. I watched it everyday at least twice a day for that first month that I had it - I am a school teacher, so I would go into my classroom to set up for the new school year, put this on my Apple TV and work in my classroom. I just thought the guys were very real and it allowed me to see them in their real life situations and not just guys on a stage. It also changed my perception of Jason; he appeared to be a pompous ass (but, I don't know what he went through while with the band); my views of Dave Mustaine stayed the same - whiny, victim mentality! Love the band, loved the movie!!! :)

What a bunch of children, and Lars is an arrogant hack. It showed me how rediculous the music and movie industry has become. The way these " musicians" step on each other's toes during the writing process makes for bad music; each have their own specialty and shouldn't be questioned on their profession.

Honestly, this was a birthday present from me to me.Metallica is my all time favorite band.I have been a fan since the Ride The Lightning album came out and I have not gotten tired of them.I am a life long fan of this band and loved this DVD when I first saw it.I learned to play bass because of Cliff Burton (God rest his soul) and also love Kirk Hammett to death.It is tough seeing a hero's vulnerabilities... It sounds weird but we look at them and see four successful and almost untouchable musicians but here we see their breaking points.It is raw and extremely volatile... Great writing, too since I have the book.A very straightforward look at one of America's greatest heavy metal bands.\m/I LOVE METALLICA!!\m/

Love Metallica, and this was a great insight to some of the things the band had to deal with. You usually don't see this kind of stuff on musician documentaries. I think this was originally intended to be a bonus DVD with the St. Anger album, but because of the content and the amazing stuff they got with this, it was made into a stand-alone Metallica documentary.I don't understand why people are bashing Metallica because they aren't as hard and heavy or as thrashy as they used to be in their heyday. Those people aren't true Metallica fans, as a true fan will stand by the artist for who they are and what they choose to explore or do musically. Highly worth owning if you are a true Metallica fan and would make a great gift to someone who is as well!

I'm watching this movie right now, and this movie kicks ass. The release I got seems like a remaster because it is the Blackened DVD and not the Paramount DVD. I think that is fine, and that this DVD is worth buying if you a hardcore metalhead like I am. The movie does feature the band while they are trying to find a bass guitarist since Jason Newsted left them, three years before the film came out.

I love Metallica and this Documentary is awesome! It's Real, Raw, and Uncut!! If you love Metallica then this is a must buy! If you justLove music in general this is also for you! Just watching the creative process of writing a song and watching them just play their instruments in a jam session is awesome! It also showcases this amazing dynamic between Lars and James! It really is a great documentary!

Huge Metallica fan and this documentary was mentioned to me. Great to see behind the scenes but I gave it 4 stars because I considered it a b**** fest with all the whining. Metallica makes millions and they still complained about the prettiest stuff. Documentary sorta turned me off but I still love Metallica.

It shows a side of Metallica know one sees or thinks about, if you’re a fan of Metallica and you haven’t seen this, you’re bout to be amazed!
