Thanks for the memories!

If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

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.

I got this for my 11th birthday on VHS and i was so excited. I wasnt really happy with the black album but like i didnt care i was excited to have it. I watched that movie 14 times in 3 days and i was in total awe.........unfortunatly my VCR ate and destroyed the first tape. Then last summer i bought the DVD and i was so happy again......it was like i was a kid again. this movie is for all and i mean all metallica fans.....from new ones that will be created when the new album comes out next summer to the oldest fansfrom the kill em all/ride the lightning days. this movie is worth a 10.....but if i had my way it would be worth a 100000000000000 payce

See my nickname? That will probably let you know how my review is going to go. The video store I rented this from only had part two available, but I am damn sure gonna see part one sometime in the future. Great behind-the-scenes look at one of the last bastions of hard-rock/heavy metal. Metallica's longevity is due to the fact that their music actually creates pictures in your mind other than homies popping each other with their nines and beach bums stealing each other's sunshine. Long may they roam...

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.
