Ever since I heard about this Met-umentary (Metallica documentary for those in the dark) I have been waiting with baited breath to see it. Now that it is showing here at the Auckland & Wellington Film Festivals, I get my chance this Sunday. Looks like it's going to be an amazing film, especially for Metallica fans like me.

For more info, go to

Anyone else planning to see this, want to see it, or already seen it?

I assume it will come out on DVD sooner or later, almost everything they do is released at some time. They better, I'll be first in line to pick up my copy.

Ok, so I saw it this afternoon. For a longtime fan, all I can say is that it was amazing. To get this kind of personal insight into a band of their status is something that you rarely get the opportunity to see.

It's sobering, eye-opening, humorous, and inspiring. It's great to see that a band can go through those kind of troubles and still come out on top.

Noteable scenes would be the Lars/Dave Mustaine therapy session, Metallica recording for a radio competition, and auditions for new bass player, as well as the 'auditions' for fans at the HQ.

I'm not good at great, long reviews, so I'll finish it up by saying that when/if it comes out on DVD, I would highly recommend making it part of your collection.

auditions for new bass player

Did they show Les Claypool?

No, but they showed about 5-6 bass players from other known bands.

Well it's not a concert DVD, so I wasn't expecting a whole lot of playing. It's pretty much all the lead up to them being able to go out on tour again.

So no, there's not a lot of live stuff, but when it got to the end, showing the preparation behind stage and the buildup to going out and playing again after all the potato peeler they went through, I got goosebumps. It's a great ending.
