While realizing that something must have been gnawing away at James Hetfield's soul to drive him into the rehabilitation exile that he embraced, the decision by James and the rest of his band to film selected excerpts from the band's therapy sessions is beyond the label of sheer self-indulgence. To assume that snarling drooling, sweaty, smelly old-school Metallica fans want to see the band as a touchy-feely flaccid group of wealthy, self-absorbed mental cases is reaching quite far... I myself relate to your description of being terrified in the midst of cro-magnon sociopaths clad in denim and leather waiting for the obliterating riffs of <I>Fight Fire With Fire</I> or <I>Battery</I>. The movie, while appealing to my more mature and refined senses, seemed to offend my sense of what Metallica was all about to me when they actually mattered, before using bloody semen on their CD covers.<BR/><BR/>Post-Cliff Burton Metallica is a different entity.
