Good Kind of Monster


Just finished watching the 2-DVD set of "Metallica - Some Kind of Monster", the documentary on the making of Metallica's St. Anger disc. This is a fascinating movie that surprised me in how much I enjoyed watching it and how much I enjoyed the music. I've kind of pooh-pooh'ed metal music as only for teenage boys and certainly nothing I could get into, but after watching this, I'm singing a different tune.

I knew nothing of the band or their music, only the name and them being the kings of heavy metal. This film allows you to get to know them as real, feeling people and not as some image of metal masters. Even if you hate metal music, rent this DVD and watch it and the extras. It is time well spent.

Now I've got to go download some Metallica music...
