This outstandingly candid documentary lifts Metallica's lid as the three remaining members attempt to stand in the same room together and make sweet music. There's lots of shouting, swearing, melodramatic door-slamming and year-long trips to rehab. The biggest problem is that these people are great at making little devil signs with their hands but have no idea how
to talk to each other, so they pay a 'performance coach' in Alan Partridge jumpers ,000 a month (!) to say, hey, can't we all just get along? More unbelievably, the band seem to view his pissy comments as revelatory.
On the extra footage (hours of it), Lars gets angry about being angry ("20 years of anger sold 100 million records"), and there's
a great bit where ex-bassist Jason Newsted leaves an aggressive answerphone rant about not being told that the band were playing, and calls them a bunch of homos.
