    Long may they roam...

    See my nickname? That will probably let you know how my review is going to go. The video store I rented this from only had part two available, but I am damn sure gonna see part one sometime in the future. Great behind-the-scenes look at one of the last bastions of hard-rock/heavy metal. Metallica's longevity is due to the fact that their music actually creates pictures in your mind other than homies popping each other with their nines and beach bums stealing each other's sunshine. Long may they roam...

    Rockin out

    Metallica is one of the greatest rock bands in the late 20th Century. Here is the full document on the making of the Black Album. Pre Production to Black Album Tour. Only other DVD's worth checking out on Metallica is Cliff'em All which covers the years with original Bassist Cliff Burton and the newly remastered and remixed to DVD... finally, The Box Set: Live S**t Binge and Purge. When placed in a Multi Disc DVD Player this Metalli-collection should blow your mind completely.

    Sheer Soul

    A real-life look at what these spectacular artists and human spirits are all about.

    The movie illustrates facts about each member of Metallica's group, their honesty, straightforwardness, tell-it-like-it-is-ness, beauty, heart and soul, intelligence, human-ness, more-than-human-ness, creativity, above excellent talent, and, last but definitely not least, the messages they deliver to humanity and the truths contained in those messages.

    You will laugh and you will cry. You will feel every human emotion, especially the frustration, anger, rage, love, hate, resentment at being human and all that entails; the extremes of every sensation of waking up to find out that you are a human.

    Excellent movie about more than excellent people.

    ROCK ON!!!!!!

    I got this for my 11th birthday on VHS and i was so excited. I wasnt really happy with the black album but like i didnt care i was excited to have it. I watched that movie 14 times in 3 days and i was in total awe.........unfortunatly my VCR ate and destroyed the first tape. Then last summer i bought the DVD and i was so happy again......it was like i was a kid again. this movie is for all and i mean all metallica fans.....from new ones that will be created when the new album comes out next summer to the oldest fansfrom the kill em all/ride the lightning days. this movie is worth a 10.....but if i had my way it would be worth a 100000000000000 payce

    The guy from ontario had the right idea but actually Metallica is the best band ever not one of the best bands ever.

    A year and 1/2 in the life of METALLICA rules! It shows the recording processes and rehearsals. And includes the Enter Sandman and Unforgiven and Wherever i May Roam Music video's. It is a must see for every Metallica fan.

    • Trivia
      Due to continuous conflict and acrimony between drummer Lars Ulrich and producer Bob Rock during the recording of 'Metallica', the pair didn't speak for the best part of 12 months after The Black Album's release.
    • Quotes

      Himself - Guitarist: [Backstage after a show] Jason's making sandwiches to take back to the hotel, because he's too cheap to order room service. We're only going to make millions this year!

      Himself - Bassist: It is because I'm a cheapskate, you're absolutely right, but we'll see who's laughing last. I've got plans for those millions and it ain't for fucking sandwiches!
