peterpants66 This film is a double sided roller coaster of rock and roll jumbles in jumbo jets, hail, enter Metallica. When this came out in 92 i was still in middle school and owning a VHS tape at that time was the equivalent of owning a Blue Ray disc now, it was not a healthy prospect. I ended up seeing the movie a year or two later at a friends house where we marveled at the guitar wizardry, the bombastic drumming, the lamenting vocals, the non-existent bass lines, that was metal for ya in the 90's, no bass. Now back then i actually took these idiots seriously, but after re-watching this movie last night, the tour tape vol.2, i feel like i have rediscovered four of the funniest dudes! Everything Lars Ulrich says in this movie is stupid. Throughout the film the various band mates are put into a "real world" style cubicle and probed by a huge microphone to talk about their lives and touring, blah, blah. So these interviews are funny, Lars contemplates turning "arena rock" touring on its head with various ideas meant to stimulate the audience. One is the addition of a "snake pit" the other is having like ten drum-sets on stage so he can run around the place causing havoc. For a tour video its not bad, its actually pretty damn good. You see the bowels of the huge stage where groupies and their moms get rocked, guitar purchases, hotel conversations, partying, fans, and plenty of performances and music video's. I don't think any other metal band has come close to what they did in the early 90's, relating to product sales. This double VHS paved the way for the Binge and Purge box set which was great and many more packages to follow. Yeah they went commercial they took the paycheck, but they did give fans a lot to look at and listen to for a while. And counting. Great band, greater comedians, RIP CB, eight stars.
res0owwh 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.
TrustKill Metallica is the greatest band ever so no wonder why they put out one of the best videos i have ever seen. its funny at some times. i cant believe they do not have more videos out. this video is great and i bought the two videos when they came ou.t i did not wait for the price came down---===MetallicA Rules===---
stephen-59 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.
