This was so uncomfortable to watch when I was a teen, but having seen it over and over again as I've grown into an adult, and in therapy myself now, this was so raw and unfiltered, but most importantly, human.

There's always wiggle room when it comes to compromise and the problem we all have as people is that we like to make things more complicated to others because to us,having things a certain way is easier to us which isn't exactly fair to anyone else involved in your life and that's when self reflection has to take hold otherwise, nobody will grow to become adaptive and willing to learn and possibly grow.

I was fascinated with this when it came out and remain so to this day. Excellent documentary. In all honesty, these guys should be commended for putting in real work with this effort at such a late stage in life. You can tell that they're really trying to access their authenticity. That's harder than it seems unless you've spent time on the couch.

​@killwalker to be fair, James and Lars were both taking time away from the band at this point to be with their families. Jason had chosen to not commit himself to starting a family because music was his passion and his life. If they were taking time away from the band for personal reasons, why couldn't he? He was bullied relentlessly in Metallica, from day one right until he left. James didn't realise he couldn't have it both ways.

i was in a band with my brother and we had two guys that were always friction for eachother and us too... finally life happened and projects took them to other bands. my brother decided we would be a 3 piece and brought in our best friend to play drums for us. the next few years of the band were absolutely great.

This was the best part of the doc and it was also SO DAMN TRUE. He let it all out and it was needed.

This is actually quite nice to watch. You see everyone kind of go through it, I think it’s very respectable they all try to talk to eachother and feel it out. With Lars reacting “This is what bugs me about this process, is asking how im feeling about every single thing that happens” (I’m paraphrasing) but you can tell he’s getting that annoyed feeling about therapy, but at the same time it’s working because he’s letting it all out, and I think this ultimately saved the band to continue making music now for fans that weren’t around when they exploded!!

Lars said "if that's what it takes." He was referring to the effort you have to put in to make a quality record, not that he does not give a shit about his family. Why would that be a huge concern for James? It is not about "choosing to be in the studio." It is about the sacrifices of time in the studio to make quality music. Has anybody here had experiences with an alcoholic? My sister is one (over 1 year sober now) and they are extremely difficult to deal with, drunk or sober. It is amazing how the Hetfield fanboys still defend him to the bitter end and try to blame it all on Lars and Jason.

Everyone in the comments really doesn't understand what was going on, they lack the empathy. When James said "I'm more important than Metallica" he saw his normal life slipping away, he loved his wife and kids and hated the man he became because he was an alcoholic. He needed to work on his issues in his life and was saying "hey right now I need to work on myself." Lars was frustrated because he was losing something that he is proud of, he created this huge metal band that will never be forgotten and at that point in time he thought it may just end. He had been with James from day one and he thought he would lose him. They both were just hurt and were expressing their points of view. I do think Lars should have allowed James to figure out his life's problems without pushing to make an album and if Kirk and Lars were not willing to wait they should have asked James to leave. In retrospect this was actually handled very well, James got the help he needed and they made the album regardless.

@tonysimmons5729

Agreed. James was going off the cliff to get himself together and he expects his long time friends to understand. Lars basically threw a two year tantrum about how he has always felt less-than in the band and in the friendship and he didn’t want to let it continue since it wasn’t him that was stopping the band to get it together. In my mind, this is AMAZING stuff and this band means everything to these guys! Most bands would just implode. Most bands break up rather than fight it out and come to love and understand each other and continue on. Granted, this band was/is a huge machine that a lot of people rely on for a living but still, the spirit of rock n roll has always been to implode. These guys broke the mold for a minute in time by hiring the therapist to assist them and get to the root causes of their problems and work it out. This man earned his money in this gig. Without his efforts, it’s possible that Metallica would have been done for. Then in walks Rob and they go on to make the best music as a unit since MOP.. 💯🙏
