Metallica Plot - Metal Reflections (Dvd+Book)
There are no harsher critiques of Metallica's work than those issued by the band themselves. This film traces Metallica's unique documentary journey of performances and concerts along with candid reflections from Lars Ulrich, James Hetfield and Jason Newstead. This review is taken from Metallica's own promotional interviews, radio and television archives around the world. It removes any doubts about aspects of sensationalism and half-truths, producing a final critical review of Metallica, drawn from the band's own views and how they were expressed in the media. The memories expressed have not been censored or reviewed by the interviewees, making it a true and honest, stunning and comprehensive review of Metallica's career, focusing on the words of those who really matter: the musicians themselves. Other themes explored in the film include the effect of the change in artistic direction and the personal upheavals within Metallica, and we also hear directly from Newstead himself as to why he eventually left the band. The film extensively charts Metallica's live show at Woodstock '94 when the band was arguably at its creative and artistic peak.
