[@ChrisWill]

This is a mature band that has worked harder than any other and rose to conquer the entire world. They wrote 5 of the best metal albums of all time before they were 30. They've taken their music to places unheard of in the metal world and continue doing what they do, masterfully, how they want to do it. They've inspired and influenced countless amazing musicians that continue to give us great music. It's great...they've come full circle and are finally influencing THEMSELVES instead of everyone else! You can hear them reference their other albums in this. They have nothing to prove anymore. As a musician inspired by these guys I love to see them enjoying life and doing their thing. They've EARNED it. They've EARNED our respect and I for one will never lose the love for this band of brothers making music.

[@willb3698]

[@gabrieljohannson6777]

First 5 albums were ground breaking it can't be argued. Since then...? Hardwired is their best since Ride The Lightning in my opinion of course.

You nailed it ...

[@dirknickerson9660]

I agree entirely!

[@vonvlad67]

@vDosc UV7 soooo? They should quit playing music/creating art, because they're older? Or they're too old, so put away the guitars and drums? I don't understand what you're saying. I get it that you don't like their last...idk 7, 8 albums....so that's why they should quit? Please, enlighten us all. What is the proper age to stop making art? Music, painting, writing, etc..

[@JSBroadcast]

Music is not about how fast and technical you can be, how amazing you are at your instrument. This is what you practice and get good at. Making albums and songs is what a band is. Some people have it in them, some don't. That's why it doesn't matter if Lars or any of them suck. They left a legacy of songs behind them that will last forever. You can take the best musicians in the world, most technical and they will never make music like Metallica did. That being said, band is about synergy, vision, story, composing. Cheers

Great doc! Highlight (and probably overlooked)....James and Lars work their asses off, changes, corrections etc....Rob builds the bass; stops;starts....THEN....Kirk just walks in, lays out absolutely killer shreds goes home!....."Kirk adding something" (its like the hockey coaches saying "what do we do with the goalie??")..that's respect!... Kirk is the GOAT!

[@willb3698]

I play mainly classical music and don't listen to Metallica, I own nothing they ever did - but I would NEVER disrespect them and the sheer volume of works, their work ethic and unshakeable belief in spreading music across all divides. People who have issues with musicians who play something different to them need to look a bit closer. Yes - the EARNED everything - often just slogging through the hard times. What an inspiration to any musician of any style. An Opera signer, for example, should have the work ethic this band has...we all should. The genre is irrelevant. Music would be that little bit more grey if these guys weren't here.

[@jburdsinfuse]

I find the "haters" very interesting. Especially the whole...nothing good since "Justice" or "Puppets" or Mustaine left or Cliff died. At the end of the day, bands with this kind of longevity typically are not writing revolutionary stuff, but songs their true fans like. Rolling Stones, The Who, David Gilmoure, U2, NOFX, Slayer, AC/DC...I could keep going. All of them hit a point that they are releasing songs that the fan base will like, but not much more than that. Then they will sell out every single show they play because they still put on a helluva show and genuinely care about their audience and/or love to perform. Color me one of those "fans" who just like the style Metallica delivers, Load, Re-Load, Death Magnetic, Hardwired all have good songs that I like to listen to. Considering Metallica outsells every other hard rock act by an extremely wide marge (tickets/downloads/albums - statistical fact, not opinion), it's safe to say I'm not alone.

[@kingnothing2161]

For the 'Kirk is the weakest link" comments: Obviously the brief demos of solos on the BTS are rough, and don't really work. Hence why they're different on the record, he absolutely rips on each song. That's like saying "James' vocals and lyrics suck here'. Does he play AS great live anymore, no, but I bet only 1% in the comments could still ever match him. Is he the greatest guitarist of all time, no. Is he as involved in the writing process as James and Lars, no, but its really never been that way. These guys are each what makes Metallica what they are. Without Kirk you wouldn't have some damn iconic riffs. Trapped Under Ice (verse), Creeping Death (Die), Master (I don't remember which part), Enter Sandman (The main fucking one), Bleeding Me (interlude). Not to mention the solo's nobody complains about from the glory days. I really hate fair-weather fans of a band that makes music for themselves, and not you, so that doesn't even make sense.

And from this video it's clear to all the lars haters that the man is a huge part in creating metallicas music.

I don't think Lars is nearly as much of a prick as he used to be. I think he's pretty chill now. He's just super annoying sometimes. But, hey, he's the man with a vision.

[@Rob_Moilanen]

Sorry, but did you miss the parts in some kind of monster where the band was literally falling apart at the seems, Jason had just left the band, James was in a really dark place in his life with his drinking and his marriage falling apart, Kirk was freaking out about it all. Oh and never mind that they were paying a video crew thousands of dollars to document the making of the album which they had due out soon as well as prepping for the concert tour for it, and paying a shrink thousands more to help the band sort their shit out, that didn't seem to be helping one bit. Lars is not only the timekeeper that keeps that band together while they are playing, but he was also literally doing his damnedest to not let the band self-destruct, which it seemed hell-bent on doing despite his efforts. Oh and nevermind that Napster thing, which was destroying the music industry, that was still hanging like a black cloud over his head. I don't know about you, but that is a lot of pressure to put on one man, and expecting him to not get frustrated and lose his shit from time to time.

[@justinalexander8524]

Same here pretty much.... Always thought his ego was hella bigger than his drumming skills. But in his older age he seems a lot better than he used to be.

HA! Shit, that's awesome!!! Say his name three times and his hair falls out.

[@thrasheusanonymous]

LOL. I SEE IT!!!

[@Deathshuck]

Why won't he get a hair transplant? Look at Elon Musk, he was bald as fuck but now nobody can even tell.

[@Vstudios5775]

He looks like dip revived as a drummer

[@A..D..D]

His hair left the band , IT LEFT THE FAHKING BAND!!!

[@franklandry4349]

METALLICA ROCKS AWESOME METAL BAND 30 YEARS AND STILL GOING I AM 52 AND STILL ROCKING TO METALLICA

[@maverick4103]

I grew up in the 80s & 90s when they ruled the world..they will always be a part of me

[@schattenheim]

Love the Volbeat T-Shirt on James :-) He knows what good music is....

[@mutusdumbas]

Do you think any music will come out as Tripple-xls(like the movie)? I have not tried any good music that fits my ears snuggly

[@bradyfisher2115]

23:13 the best guitar ever(EET FUK)

[@DIYTechnician]

This album turned out great. Love Metallica

[@vilmister]

48:58 Sounds like Rob’s planning to leave Metallica to join Slayer. Noodling on some Raining Blood there

[@emmaseguin6051]

It’s amazing to see them at work like that, I will admit I am completely lost in their process 😂 but I enjoy it anyway. It really shows how much of the creating is from Lars and James. They are the heart and soul of this band.

[@TURK-yn3ge]

Lars plays 1 bar... cool, thank you. Pro-Tools DONE

[@khall187]

28:34 bottom left corner what is blurred out and why? Kirk's name?? Why? Hmm

[@JMNTLRDRX]

4:19 Lars is almost about to explode.

[@nacho04511]

Its at 4:20 actually so I guess he went 420 blaze it 😂👌

[@kasper5688]

He puts full force into those drums

[@corbettd1401]

I was watching this in Spanish class, I was kicked out for laughing

[@chriswojo4356]

11:52 I guess you've made it when you get your own personal "Bass Guitar String Muter." I wonder if that guy is the equivalent of the adult film industry "fluffer." Hey guy, what do you do for a living? I'm a bass guitar string muter.

[@sorenpersing904]

Almost as good as Lars's arm massager.

[@hulkslayer626]

There is a thing called a Jimmi Clip that goes on the string behind the bridge and the nut to mute overtones... but when you're metal gods, you can just hire an actual Jimmy. Lmao

[@miescaladegrises]

Almost as good as snare tuner on st. Anger era

[@nathanbieber2840]

This is great! Thank you for posting. Veru inspiring. Cant wait till after work!

[@stevewilson3603]

I'm probably the only person in the world that likes Lars. he clearly wants to put out the best records he can, has good ideas and loves what he does

[@WellMefisto]

James' speaking-voice is awesome.

[@brucekirk5386]

Every band I've been in or helped in the studio I've always told..SIMPLE IS RUTHLESS..

[@MrROTD]

The holding instruments to prevent noises thing reminds me of the time I was an assistant in a studio and had to hold a cymbal stand during a take because it had a bad resonance on that particular song for some reason it worked out great but I had to crouch there for three or four takes

[@Groovegandalf]

I don't know how I'd go about getting it, but I NEED that giant black and white Cliff banner that's there. 33 years later and he's still at the heart of the band with his passed on knowledge.

[@PatrickSchouten]

Good to see how much work it is to create good recordings. And watch all the administrative work that is done, keeping notes because so much is happening. It is one big team that are creating great stuff.

[@thegodofmusic4733]

love this band

[@thegodofmusic4733]

+KILLEM43KILLA I got mad love for my bro dog cuz bro bro cuz bro cuz

[@juanrezende4914]

Only missing "Atlas, Rise!"

[@Vldimir]

yes, it's not exist

[@juanrezende4914]

Vl1dimir 777 because?

[@Vldimir]

i think because they already have videoclip "Atlas, Rise!" and in this clip we can see studio footage - i think by this logic its dont exist

[@GriefHammer]

I thought that was the reason there wasn't a making of video for Atlas too. Since its video is already an in studio one, they probably felt there wasn't a need for a second studio video of the song.

[@pkj77]

Juan Rezende No missing 2 from the actual album itself, and the bonus LOS so 3 songs

[@SophiaAphrodite]

Greta to see Lars and James working together so well. The album shows.

[@guibox3]

Best Metallica album since Justice. Hell, maybe even better than Justice. After 36 years, still putting out songs like 'Hardwired to Self Destruct' and 'Spit Out the Bone' is incredible. "Spit Out the Bone" is just as good as "Master of Puppets", "Battery" and "Damage Inc."

[@jasonbarnes5556]

I really enjoy this album. So great to see them all smiling while they work.

[@ztrewq9]

25:05 cat in studio

[@Gudebrothers]

The thing that should NOT be!! I SMELLED cat piss when I saw that! Stuck in a dank studio, stinking ass guys, farting on each other and...cat piss carpet....metal ain't easy! In any event, kudos to the band for a DAMN good album!

[@gocsa]

Metallicat.

[@Lordschmitt]

I screamed bc I thought that was so cute HAHA

[@phitoman6964]

[@k.tucker599]

Session cat

[@drumvisio]

James Hetfield using the same mic that Micheal Jackson used to record Thriller! Love you James, always have always will!

[@angelofaraday5280]

Shure SM7B 😉

[@gwolf6975]

ThrillErAHHH, HeAyAH.

[@nikolap.5132]

I wish there were videos like this for every Metallica album

[@noirfidelity]

It deserves credits the producer as well ,fantastic studio ,equipment and producer.

[@McFlurry448]

James and lars write the songs Kirk just recycles solos Rob gets 3 people to play his bass

[@trav-dawg]

Ha! Robs a great bassist though

[@stoutlager6325]

Not sure what was happening with the guy resting his hand on the bridge of Rob's bass. If you want that muted effect just stick a piece of foam under the strings there.

[@SplinteredCompany]

5:52 That's why we're here!

[@tonyfondacaro1980]

I would buy this if it were a Blu-ray.

[@MaynardOwns]

Laserdisk all the way

[@sTEALtooth]

24:22 after 35 years in Metallica, Lars learns how a wah pedal works XD

[@JAMStudiosIE]

Anyone know what the little black bag is or may have in it that is covering some of the drum mics? Snare mix has one on it to shield it from the hat. Rack Tom 2 has on on one side to shield from the ride cymbal. Is it a product or homemade?

[@Sabhoh]

It’s a ghee bag

[@RR-v]

I’m so thankful this exists

[@thedeadwilltelllies]

"Whaaat... That was soo tight mahn.. That was like this" *raises fist* Hahaha kils me every time!!

[@Rio.gt86]

Cilliers Orffer when? Lol
