Metallica: Some Kind of Monster

NEW DOCS

Neil Sedaka had it right: “Breaking Up Is Hard to Do”—even harder if that refers to heavy metal mega-band Metallica. With a career spanning more than 20 years as rock icons and with a reputation that earned them the nickname Alcoholica, Metallica now finds itself more similar to a bickering, old married couple than the hard-hitting heavy metal legend it appears to be to fans. Band members struggle to balance personal lives and personalities while recording the album St. Anger. Join James, Lars, Kirk, and Robert as they work through their issues in group therapy sessions, in and out of the recording studio.  CD
