i fell asleep to that fred durst thing last night. so incredibly pathetic. his "emotional turmoil," the whole britney thing... going to seattle to take pictures of kurt cobain's house and signing a bench "thanks for the inspiration" before hopping into that gaint decked out SUV.

they had footage from that metallica tribute show as well, and when the band ran offstage they were complimenting themselves. they completely forgot to mention it took something like 12 takes to get it right because they sounded so bad.

The SNL "need more cowbell" skit makes me laugh every time.

durst with his interior decorator in the studio was damn hilarious. one unmentioned film would be the chili peppers "funky monks". pretty much the recording of blood sugar, with some funny stuff, and flea, frusciante, and chad smith funkin rockin.

Yes... I too thoroughly enjoyed the Funky Monks. It was pretty unbelievable. I like when John F. is talking about the whore and how she fisted herself or something like that. He's like "It totally blew my mind"....
Hilarious!

Please share some stories.

I'm bringing this thread back from the dead in order to share a review of a new Metallica movie. I got this on another list. Here you go:

"just got back from seeing the metallica doc Some Kind of Monster.
torturously long but fascinating in car crash way: the filmmakers
(who also made Brothers Keeper and the movie about the West Memphis
3, Paradise Lost) witness the entirety of the recording of St Anger,
which took almost 2 years. seriously, there are title cards that say
'Day 652'. and they hire a group therapist (AT $40K A MONTH) who
teaches them to use 'I' statements and so forth. it is hilarious
watching lars ulrich trying to find a therapist-ratified way to say
'you're an asshole' to james hetfield."

"best moment #1: when lars ulrich's dad, a skinny fu-manchu bearded
hippie, comes to visit and tactfully says 'i think this is a song
which should be deleted.'"

best moment #2: when james hetfield complains that his post-rehab
work schedule (four hours max band time per day) means the other
bandmembers listen to the days tracks, talk about 'em and make
decisions in his absence, the sweet kirk hammett replies "i've been
feeling that way for fifteen years!"

Has anyone seen the documentary covering the making of Aerosmith's Just Push Play? I saw it a few years back on VH1, when I was young, naive, and thought that it was actually the GOAL of a band to put something to tape that they would later be able to replicate live. Whoa, was I wrong.

This film was remarkable in that it documented a recording process that incorporated more synthesized, computer-based bullshit than one could possibly fathom. Going back to the theory of live replication I had at the time, I actually tried to figure out how they might redo some of the stuff live... it gave me a headache.

I finally got to see Yr and a Half in the life of... this wknd...absolute classic
