I worked there during the Justice box set. Unfortunately a toxic and choatic work environment. Never got a box set that I busted my buns on. I thought it was amusing when the band was throwing records into the regrind machine. When I was there a guy, second day on the job, got three of the tips of his fingers chopped off because a manager took off the safety guard. I will say the vietnamese crew are sweethearts and fun to work with.

Most other rock stars wouldn't even take the time to turn their noses up at regular working folks. I love these guys. Since 1986 I've lived and breathed them.

The Newbilt machines (the ones making the splatter) are dangerous for your hands if you're not careful, so I bet the plant was sweating having Metallica make records on it. Great video!

I don’t know if it’s by design or coincidence, but it’s nice to see the factory kind of run like Metallica- everyone is welcome, learning on the job with zero experience, being super precise, workers having an enjoyable experience, the ship is clean and tight, etc. This record plant kicks ass, and I’m glad the band finally made their way over to check it out.
