To some, an in-depth look into the making of an album might seem incredibly boring. Back in 1992, when I was just learning to play guitar and drums, this was a heaven send - these guys were doing exactly what I wanted to do. The first half of this almost 4 hour long video is all Metallica, in the studio, bickering, talking about recording, talking about each other, showing how they came up with drum fills and solos, and so on and so forth. Basically, manna from heaven for anyone who wants to live the rock star life vicariously through Metallica. The second half is Metallica on the road, the partying, the performing, the bickering, the quintessential back-stage pass for anyone who wants to live the rock star life vicariously through Metallica. Metallica's popularity has waned over the years, but when this DVD came out, they were at the top of their game, and this is the perfect time capsule into their world at that time.
