‘Metallica: Some Kind Of Monster’
On the occasion of former Metallica bassist Jason Newsted’s birthday, let us celebrate the riveting, uncomfortable, and surprisingly honest 2004 rockumentary Metallica: Some Kind Of Monster, which observes and captures the global superstars as they (aided by a therapist) come to terms with the departure of Newsted, their role in his departure, their treatment of him, and their guilt. Oh and they’re trying to make an album during all of this.
