sisabetI just realized today is my late day at work. Crap, crap, crap. I am also bored and unmotivated and reading the NYT online as a result - where I found this:
"The Shrinking of the American Band"
(free registration required)
http://www.nytimes.com/2004/07/11/arts/music/11OGUN.html
cutting for my take
Okay - so apparently Metallica made a documentary chronicling the two years the band spent in therapy called "Some Kind of Monster" giving further evidence to my scientifically-proven theory: Metallica sucks ass.
The following gives support to my new theory - which is anything that is relevant to society today, will not be a part of any reality/nostalgia/Behind the Whateva deal. While those shows are entertaining to an extent, they are no more important or ground-breaking or informative than a random episode of "Maury Povich."
The logic that follows is that Metallica, is, in fact, irrelevant.
For exhibit A, I offer the following from the Times article:
Mr. Towle, Metallica's therapist, has his clients confront people outside of the group as well. In one particularly uncomfortable scene in "Some Kind of Monster," the bass player Lars Ulrich has a sit-down with Dave Mustaine, who formed the heavy metal group Megadeth after being booted out of Metallica in 1983.
"Have you thought about what I went through?" asks Mr. Mustaine, choking back tears. "It's been hard to watch everything you guys do turn to gold and everything I do backfire." (Though it's not revealed in the documentary, Megadeth underwent therapy in the 90's.) Mr. Ulrich admits to feeling "some guilt," but tells Mr. Mustaine, "I find it difficult to believe that everything you dealt with in the past 20 years is rooted in the Metallica thing."
I have no words. Well, I lied - I do have one word or word-like utterance:
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
