Night Hawkin' - Metallica | Some Kind of Monster

[@thelung9153]

My shitty punk/hardcore bank recorded a demo about 19 years ago with a young engineer who was looking to put a portfolio together. This engineer was working at the same local studio as Bob Rock at the time (which studio was owned by Bryan Adams, no less). One day the engineer is at the studio mixing our demo, and Bob busts in. He hears a few seconds of one of our songs and angrily demands that the engineer “turn this shit off!”. He further admonished the engineer and made it clear that he was never to play our demo in his presence again. I can’t say my (decidedly amateur) musical career had many highlights, but having Bob Rock hear our music and it pissing him off was definitely one of them.

[@jeffparker3463]

Bob Rock put out garbage music with his own bands (Payolas and Rock& Hyde) in Canada when I was a kid. He's hardly one to judge

[@mudsh4rk]

As good as the acepalm is, my favorite moment in this move (one of my favorites in any movie, honestly) is in one of the band meetings when Kirk says something about how nobody listens to what he has to say and everyone in the room completely ignores it. This is a close second.

[@brandongnuschke3870]

I’ll never forget the day St. Anger came out. I was about to head over to Best Buy to pick up the cd, only to realize that my car had been stolen. Turns out that would be the second worst thing to happen to me that day.

I strongly sympathise with Kirk as somebody who was into playing thrash and heavy metal in my youth but now just wants to play dad rock and boomer bends. He just wants to do that sweet 15b17 on the neck pickup of his Paul, but he's in the biggest heavy metal band in the world and they expect him to shred. Truly a gilded cage.

[@vorpalblades]

Love this movie. Every band that was around in the 2000's can quote this endlessly. "Why don't we go hammer it out instead of hammering on each other?" Pure gold. I saw a preview screening of this because my girlfriend at the time's friend was on the Metallica street team. I was laughing the whole way through while everyone else just glared at me.

Bob Rock is on their Wikipedia page under Band Members, the only entry as a "Session/Touring Musician", with credit for playing bass from 2001-2003. I wonder who put that in there...

[@jvomkrieg]

The amazing thing about some kind of monster is that they didn't look at the footage and go "Wow, we look like complete idiot children, lets burn all these tapes". They put it in theatres. Unreal in so many ways

[@stevec6427]

It was not the right decision.

[@AssNutz]

Fucking bananas, man.

[@FriedlichChiller]

@@stevec6427 The album makes so much more sense in the context of how it was created. It's still not a great album, but as an artistic statement of honesty and vulnerability it's pretty remarkable. Did the documentary dismantle the image of the untouchable rockstars? Absolutely it did. But releasing it was more courageous than most other rockstars would've been capable of.

[@JayBirdNJ.]

@@FriedlichChiller it made Metallica l look like spoiled children who only think of themselves.

[@FriedlichChiller]

@@JayBirdNJ. I wonder what you expect from a band documentary. Also, it shows really well what happens when you don't learn a healthy way to talk about your feelings. I'd say the fact they went to therapy is actually a very mature way of dealing with that situation. And of course that involves talking about themselves.

They were never going to let him join, especially as he spoke back to james disagreed with him over and over. metallica is an extension of his ego.

[@Rootzilla]

Kirk telling that unlike Jaymz and Lars, he doesn't have an ego in one scene and then losing his shit in another when they're talking about not putting any guitar solos on the album is another great pair of moments.

[@daveandreahoward8203]

I would say that St Anger came with a DVD of the band playing the material live together in a garage type situation and it was a hundred times better than the record, along with a normal live drum sound.

[@BenBebbington]

I ripped that DVD to minidisc and listened to that instead of the released version till I went to Uni and found better bands

[@tussk.]

SKOM is a fascinating insight into the minds of two people who are utterly self obsessed, while utterly lacking in self awareness at the same time. How they could have sat through the final edit of this and not realised that it was an absolute car crash is baffling. I get that James was going through rehab, and Lars was desperately trying to pretend that he wasn't a heavy metal drummer and suck up to the art crowd, but somebody must have had doubts at some point during the viewing.

The Kirk Hammett face palm is real. Input-wise, he absolutely knows, all too well, that James and Lars regard him as the 2nd most expendable member after Jason.

[@flightgravity7483]

One of the best parts is when James is bitching to Kirk about decisions being made when he’s not in the studio, and Kirk’s response is “now you know how I’ve been feeling for the last 20 years”

[@PhilipBosleyMusic]

[@Weewoo12]

You hit the nail on the head with Fuel being too long. This applies to literally every song on St Anger, no song is under 5 minutes and some approach the 9 minute mark. Not really acceptable when theres zero solos, the songs go absolutely nowhere that justify those runtimes.

I don't think that I'd heard the word "verve" before the mid 90s...then there's suddenly 2 huge bands...The Verve and The Verve Pipe. I wonder if they ever played a show together...that might have been difficult. I'm pretty sure that The Verve were around first as they formed in the late 80s. Also...The Verve were amazing. They were like a more psychedelic Oasis with a much better singer.

[@danielpittman889]

I saw the Verve Pipe in 1996 playing a show in Houston with K's Choice. There was a meet and greet after the show and Vander Ark was bitching about the catering or some shit. Me and my friends were standing nearby and dude's manager looked at us and said, "I don't think he wants to meet you or sign anything. Sorry." We laughed so hard. I'm all, "Uh, I'm here to meet Sam and Gert - my band covers one of their songs."
