My shitty punk/hardcore bank recorded a demo about 19 years ago with a young engineer who was looking to put a portfolio together. This engineer was working at the same local studio as Bob Rock at the time (which studio was owned by Bryan Adams, no less). One day the engineer is at the studio mixing our demo, and Bob busts in. He hears a few seconds of one of our songs and angrily demands that the engineer “turn this shit off!”. He further admonished the engineer and made it clear that he was never to play our demo in his presence again. I can’t say my (decidedly amateur) musical career had many highlights, but having Bob Rock hear our music and it pissing him off was definitely one of them.
I strongly sympathise with Kirk as somebody who was into playing thrash and heavy metal in my youth but now just wants to play dad rock and boomer bends. He just wants to do that sweet 15b17 on the neck pickup of his Paul, but he's in the biggest heavy metal band in the world and they expect him to shred. Truly a gilded cage.
I’ll never forget the day St. Anger came out. I was about to head over to Best Buy to pick up the cd, only to realize that my car had been stolen. Turns out that would be the second worst thing to happen to me that day.
I paid $1100 for the St. Anger/Some Kind of monster Cd and DVD combo...Let me explain: I "won" this DVD from a radio quiz call in bullshit in New Orleans, went to the radio station to pick up my prize, came out -- Truck got towed! $1100 and 6 hours later, I'm blasting the worst Metallica album in history. I literally threw it out the window. I still have the dvd. Talk about St. Anger!!
The amazing thing about some kind of monster is that they didn't look at the footage and go "Wow, we look like complete idiot children, lets burn all these tapes". They put it in theatres. Unreal in so many ways
@@stevec6427 The album makes so much more sense in the context of how it was created. It's still not a great album, but as an artistic statement of honesty and vulnerability it's pretty remarkable. Did the documentary dismantle the image of the untouchable rockstars? Absolutely it did. But releasing it was more courageous than most other rockstars would've been capable of.
@@JayBirdNJ. I wonder what you expect from a band documentary. Also, it shows really well what happens when you don't learn a healthy way to talk about your feelings. I'd say the fact they went to therapy is actually a very mature way of dealing with that situation. And of course that involves talking about themselves.
Love this movie. Every band that was around in the 2000's can quote this endlessly. "Why don't we go hammer it out instead of hammering on each other?" Pure gold. I saw a preview screening of this because my girlfriend at the time's friend was on the Metallica street team. I was laughing the whole way through while everyone else just glared at me. Easily the best comedy of 2003.
Bob Rock is on their Wikipedia page under Band Members, the only entry as a "Session/Touring Musician", with credit for playing bass from 2001-2003. I wonder who put that in there...
Great to see you back Pat, sorry I missed the stream. Tip: Not 'The Cardiacs', simply 'Cardiacs'. Try searching UA-cam for the 'Some Fairytales From The Rotten Shed' videos.
I distinctly remember my parents watching Some Kind Of Monster for the first time in like 2007-8 and they wouldn't stop talking about how funny it was for like a week straight
Ha, I just found out from this video that Lars is 3 years older than I am and it made me feel like “Hey, I’m still pretty young; I’m younger than Lars.”
If aliens came down and told me to show them anything I think makes Earth worth not destroying, I would show them you. You are a bright light sir in this dark world
Sometimes... every once in a while... it's good to remember that Metallica made an album of 7-8 minute long songs where they tried to sound like nu metal. And there couldn't have been a better thing than Pat Finnerty to remind me this time
Imagine going "Hey we're Metallica, what should we be doing? I know, we'll listen to the radio and mimic whatever flash in the pan crap is the current hotness!"
@@whatilearnttoday5295 the double whammy is that they were late to the party and they didn't even do it well lol. the result sounds like 3rd rate Slipknot and System of a Down rejects with a burnt-out James Hetfield singing
Dude. I laughed for a good 30 minutes. I could listen to you rip on Metallica for hours...and I love Metallica as most of us do. But it's rich to call them on their corn ponerey lmao.
The Kirk Hammett face palm is real. Input-wise, he absolutely knows, all too well, that James and Lars regard him as the 2nd most expendable member after Jason.
One of the best parts is when James is bitching to Kirk about decisions being made when he’s not in the studio, and Kirk’s response is “now you know how I’ve been feeling for the last 20 years”
"you know what guys? lets just get in there and hammer it out instead of hammering at each other..." - theres always that one guy. "MOM, DAD, STOP FIGHTING ITS THANKSGIVING!!! 😢"
I'm bummed I missed the livestream, but psyched to see your periscope come up signaling your continued existance, Pat. You've provided many emotional lifts for me with the content you produce and by giving me reasons to believe there are at least some good eggs left in the world by undoubtedly being one. So thanks for continuing in that vein as well. You're a legend, fine sir!
It's almost 8:00 in the morning, I'm getting ready to leave the house and then I hear your voice coming from the TV in the other room. I suddenly and instinctively screamed hell yeah and woke up my baby..
Kirk telling that unlike Jaymz and Lars, he doesn't have an ego in one scene and then losing his shit in another when they're talking about not putting any guitar solos on the album is another great pair of moments.
You hit the nail on the head with Fuel being too long. This applies to literally every song on St Anger, no song is under 5 minutes and some approach the 9 minute mark. Not really acceptable when theres zero solos, the songs go absolutely nowhere that justify those runtimes.
Best bit of the film as Lars saying how "its not about the money of course" when trying to flog his Basquiat painting. Could have saved himself alot a trouble suing the Napster people there pal.
Fuel check - I won the first album on some local radio trivia call in. Had the "In my hands" song on it. I was still taking guitar lessons at that time and had discovered Megadeth. It was a time I lived through.
SKOM is a fascinating insight into the minds of two people who are utterly self obsessed, while utterly lacking in self awareness at the same time. How they could have sat through the final edit of this and not realised that it was an absolute car crash is baffling. I get that James was going through rehab, and Lars was desperately trying to pretend that he wasn't a heavy metal drummer and suck up to the art crowd, but somebody must have had doubts at some point during the viewing.
I would say that St Anger came with a DVD of the band playing the material live together in a garage type situation and it was a hundred times better than the record, along with a normal live drum sound.
I know it's not the actual idea behind the song, but in my head "Hero of the Day" is from the perspective of Grendel from Beowulf. I don't care what it's actually about, it's a better song when it's about Grendel - especially adding some depth to the lines "they're off to find the hero of the day" (given how many heroes they sent to their deaths against Grendel before they found Beowulf) and all those "momma they're trying to break me" lines (given how Grendel's mom responded to his eventual death)
This doc is insane, always loved it. Definitely more fun than the album, though St. Anger is honestly like a 6/10 for me, a fun-ish odd novelty album in retrospect
I don't think that I'd heard the word "verve" before the mid 90s...then there's suddenly 2 huge bands...The Verve and The Verve Pipe. I wonder if they ever played a show together...that might have been difficult. I'm pretty sure that The Verve were around first as they formed in the late 80s. Also...The Verve were amazing. They were like a more psychedelic Oasis with a much better singer.
Great to hear from you again, Pat. However an F major with open b and e is very 70’s, specifically a British band called Caravan which I “discovered” in about 1980. Light, mostly humorous prog.
I had a dental assistant cleaning my teeth who was singing along to 3 Doors Down Here Without You. I had a hair dresser once sing Nickelbacks Photograph while cutting my hair at Great Clips.
A group of middle-aged men who have lost their belly fire, what was once fun and from the heart has become just a business, that was just three guys having to do their jobs to earn their living, a job that seems like they no longer enjoy doing. I love Metallica's first five albums, but after The Black Album it all went downhill from there.
At this point, the take that Metallica stopped being good after the black album has reached legendary meme status. But unlike most memes, it doesn’t drive me crazy. Because it’s so utterly true that I can’t hate it.
Dude, every department store I've ever been in (Midwest) has a bathroom. You ever think maybe the store is so big you've just never found the bathroom?
I don't get how Bob Rock is allegedly why Metallica is as big as they are because Bob Rock basically Sergeant Rock'ed them to the brink of tears making the Black Album but he let this dumpster fire rage and just kept quiet in the corner.
37:26 on the contrary, there’s newspaper articles detailing over 300 separate instances of banana peel-slippage happening in the US alone - many of which are even more cartoonish than you’d imagine (my personal favorite involves a kid in sedalia who slipped on a banana peel. he also happened to be carrying dynamite in his pocket for whatever reason, so that exploded when he hit the ground and blew off one of his fingers)
I was flabbergasted at the Boulevard of Broken Dreams WMTSS suggestion because I love Green Day but then Pat wins me back by dunkin (HSG Reference!!??) on the real stinkers. Can't stay mad at you, my bald broski. Also can't wait for Uncle Kracker to be on the WMTSS chopping block.
JUSTICE FOR JASON I think The Memory Remains was the last biggest hit though. Even people who weren't Metallica fans were singing that one back in the day, whereas I don't think there was that kind of mainstream breakthrough for Fuel.
It’s 100% Lars trying to get under James’ skin. The shit eating grin as he’s playing the worst beat ever is a dead give away😂. Classic ‘you may be able to kick my ass, but I can mess with you in other ways’
Riff heavy bands are a lot of fun but really hard if you want to sound original. Sabbath have already used up nearly all the riffs. Tony Iommi is the riff version of infinite monkeys at a typewriter.
Thing about riff-based bands is you REALLY gotta be able to play, not just that but it’s the stamina that’s important. I disagree on the Sabbath thing. Metallica is TOO good of an example obviously. Iommi couldn’t have written the things James and Kirk brought about. Then there’s Soundgarden and AiC and Korn as well. So much shit that just CRUSHES. People remember Korn for Freak on the Leash, but forget about “Predictable”. Absolutely skull-crushing riffs in that song
Wait, I never noticed that Hetfield not only sounds like Mark Wahlberg, he looked like him from certain angles in the video. Did hetfiekd hire Marky Mark to play him, or be his stunt double or something like that?
Genuinely confused about the BoBD hate. That was such a massive return to form for Green Day, I love everything about it and I will cry to it if I'm in the car alone. What am I missing?!
Lars's benefit to Metallica is in his marketing abilities. Metallica is largely successful thanks to Lars's efforts on that front and not at all due to his drumming ability.

Ok I wanna hear this demo. I f’kn hate Bob Rock.
I'd also check this out
kinda wanna hear the song, it must have been great to piss him off
Must have been good music.
I strongly sympathise with Kirk as somebody who was into playing thrash and heavy metal in my youth but now just wants to play dad rock and boomer bends.

His solo album is horrific.
@@vorpalblades I mean it's not great but it was certainly more interesting than anything Metallica have made in the last 20 years.
"Shred" = "Play the same shit you played when you were 16yo"
He has not put in any effort to progress as a player. None.
I’ll never forget the day St. Anger came out. I was about to head over to Best Buy to pick up the cd, only to realize that my car had been stolen.

If you choose Rock for your fake last name, you probably don't. Bob or Kid😂
Glad we're getting these, cant wait for another this song stinks ❤
Hope this one stays up, I'm currently going through my yearly St Anger/Some Kind Of Monster obsession. Whole story is just ridiculous and interesting
Great to see you back Pat, sorry I missed the stream.
Tip: Not 'The Cardiacs', simply 'Cardiacs'. Try searching UA-cam for the 'Some Fairytales From The Rotten Shed' videos.
Cardiacs are all time brilliant band
fuel is when hetfield reached peak yeahAH and thus needs to be preserved for all time. also dabachabaDA
I distinctly remember my parents watching Some Kind Of Monster for the first time in like 2007-8 and they wouldn't stop talking about how funny it was for like a week straight
As someone in a band..and older than Lars in St Anger.... these conversations have been had in my basement and its gut wrenching.
Somekind of monster is Spinal Tap 2
Realizing you're older now than Lars was then brought on a genuine (and admirably transient!) existential crisis.
This.. I too am approaching said age and fearing the demonstrated consequences.
I share a birthday with Lars, too. That’s fucked up
I'm the age now that he was in 2001. I'm definitely less successful lol. Hey, at least I never made St. Anger though, so I have that going for me.
@@eggoslayer1001Still got two years to make your St. Anger bro! Don't give up on your dreams, keep pushing.
Ha, I just found out from this video that Lars is 3 years older than I am and it made me feel like “Hey, I’m still pretty young; I’m younger than Lars.”

Kirk is giving peacekeeper mom energy. It doesn’t work well in abusive families and it didn’t work well here.
"you know what guys? lets just get in there and hammer it out instead of hammering at each other..." - theres always that one guy. "MOM, DAD, STOP FIGHTING ITS THANKSGIVING!!! 😢"

Metallica will restore a little bit of cred from me by covering Blue Oyster Cult's "Astronomy". Deep cut!
Best part is when the therapist submits his ideas for lyrics. 😂..on post its!
It's almost 8:00 in the morning, I'm getting ready to leave the house and then I hear your voice coming from the TV in the other room. I suddenly and instinctively screamed hell yeah and woke up my baby..
I remember watching this when I was still really into Metallica. I think I was depressed for like a month.
I mean you should have auditioned for bass then. Would’ve fit right in.
If you were really into Metallica any time after the black album, then yeah, you should be depressed.
Every time I see your channel pop up, I recoil. And then I remember I constantly get your name mixed up with Finn McKenty.
You're cool, Pat.
As the years go by it becomes clearer to me that my favorite Metallica song is "Junior Dad".
My lifestyle determines my deathstyle.
CLUNK CLANK CLUNK CLANK CLUNK CLANK
Bob Rock trying to weasel his way into Metallica will never not be the funniest thing of this whole documentary
I always thought the therapist was/should have been trying to get himself into the band too. If he succeeded he would not change his clothing style.
They were never going to let him join, especially as he spoke back to james disagreed with him over and over. metallica is an extension of his ego.
Kirk telling that unlike Jaymz and Lars, he doesn't have an ego in one scene and then losing his shit in another when they're talking about not putting any guitar solos on the album is another great pair of moments.
Justice for Jason!!!
Lars’ kids (two) are in a band together, called Taipei Houston. I actually saw them last week opening for nothing but thieves.
If Pat does an Everclear song for This Song Stinks I will die a happy man
I honestly didn't know David Gray was known in the States
You hit the nail on the head with Fuel being too long. This applies to literally every song on St Anger, no song is under 5 minutes and some approach the 9 minute mark. Not really acceptable when theres zero solos, the songs go absolutely nowhere that justify those runtimes.
"Coming off of two loads" is an interesting turn of phrase.
Funnily enough, "stock" is how I would describe 72 Seasons.

The Hammett face palm has lived rent free in my mind for years.
second the comment about Cardiacs. Tim Smith was a genius and is missed in the starry sky. RIP Timmy.
I would say that St Anger came with a DVD of the band playing the material live together in a garage type situation and it was a hundred times better than the record, along with a normal live drum sound.
I ripped that DVD to minidisc and listened to that instead of the released version till I went to Uni and found better bands
Was worried about you pat, glad to see you surfacing
