My favorite parts of this comedic gem:

* Lars selling his paintings! It's so obvious he only cares about the monetary value of the works. "Some people choose to put their millions of dollars in a vault; I chose to throw them up on my walls." Also, the interview with Lars' personal assistant, who explains that Lars is selling the paintings because he wants to enter a new phase of his life, when it's obvious that it's because he needs the money! LOL!

* Lars just reveling in Dave Mustaine's equally pathetic whining. "It's hard for me to believe that you've been obsessed with my band for the past twenty years." Yeah right! You know that m akes you happy, you greedy prick.

* When Lars said, "I went running this morning, and the one word that kept running through my head was "FUCK"".

* Phil putting up the signs that say "Get in the Zone", and whatnot, and then Lars tears them all down and changes "Zone It!" to "Bone It!" LOL!

* Seeing Bob Rock kiss Lars' ass all of the time! Every time an argument between James and Lars takes place, Bob takes Lars' side no matter what. LOL! What an ass-kisser!

* When they try to fire Phil, and then, after everything's been said, Phil goes: "Okay, guys, I'm gonna take off. So I'll see you next week?" LOL! What a boner! What purpose does he serve to deserve 40 grand a month?! He never does anything.


Basically, anything having to do with Lars is unintentional comedic gold. What a massive, thundering backside.

Oh, man, I'm gonna watch it again right now.


This was a quote I loved when I first saw it, from that intellectual decathlete named Lars Ulrich:

"We are in the business of art. This is a walking contradiction if ever there was one. However, there is no denying it. On the artistic side, Metallica create music for ourselves first and our audience second. With each project, we go through a grueling creative process to achieve music that we feel is representative of Metallica at that very moment in our lives. We take our craft –whether it be the music, the lyrics, or the photos and artwork– very seriously, as do most artists. It is therefore sickening to know that our art is being traded, sometimes with an audio quality that has been severely compromised, like a commodity rather than the art that it is."

Art = St. Anger?
Life...life...I know it's got its ups and downs.

saw metallica at the metro in 1983, at broadway jacks in jan 84, few more times in 84 and 85--in 1986 after puppets was released they were the most amazing band you could imagine--then they made that goofy justice album and they've never been the same--although i'd bet they still smoke live--not like 86, but still pretty good--may of 86 at the aragon and then big black/killdozer/scratch acid later the same night at the place near belmont and sheffield--forget the name

By the way, doesn't Newsted come off like an even bigger ass than Lars? And that's really saying something. Calling the other guys "homos"? That's so juvenile and retarded.

Also, Newsted's band blew big time. But I guess that went without saying. A gem from that scene, though, was when the band members from Echobrain are being interviewed, and one of the guys looks over at Jason after saying something, and asks him: "Is it okay to say that?" LOL! What pussies!

I actually have respect for James. What he did took guts and really showed that he is a stand-up guy.

And Kirk's kind of a cool cat.

But Lars and Bob Rock?! The Terrible Two! I've never seen such rampant cocksmithery!

So, after years of enjoying this movie tremendously, for all the reasons we've discussed, i thought it would be hilarious to download (CALL LARS! FUCK!) St. Anger and listen to the album in all its finished, atrocious glory, as my only experience with it has been the bits they play throughout the movie.

My fucking god. I mean, i know this isn't news to any of you, but, just...oh my god. It amazes me how, even if i didn't know that they just thwacked these riffs together haphazardly in Pro-Tools and built the "songs" that way, i'd still listen to this and think, "Jesus, did they just thwack these riffs together randomly?" You'd think they'd have made an affort to at least make it sound like organic songwriting. Nope, nope.

There are moments when that "PING" of the snare drum just washes over everything, like a highly mixed ride cymbal would.

Just...wow.

that much of an issue.


While i agree with that, as i said in my previous post, upon listening to the actual album it's blatantly obvious that it didn't work better for them in any capacity whatsoever. Every song sounds like it was pieced together in the studio and not produced live, which is exactly what happened.

Q- What do you do when you are not playing bass?

Trujillo- "Surf, snow, and eating good food".

He does snow?



He doesn't "do snow"; he snows.

Once you've mastered raining, it's the next logical step


And yud think before he did snow, he'd have the rain thing down. Silly rock stars
