Before SOME KIND OF MONSTER, there was this. A sprawling documentary of Metallica's transition from metal's most famous band to arguably the world's most famous band.

0:00 PART ONE

Recording The Black Album. Watch the band argue with Bob Rock for an hour and a half while he rides them hard.

1:26:27 PART TWO

Follow the Met on tour and see them playing in Russia, Hetfield play Stone Cold Crazy with Queen and get blown up by stage pyrotechnics.
