Metallica on BBC2 Tuesday 5th.
METALLICA will be featured on the BBC Two program "The Culture Show" on Tuesday, August 5 at 10:00 p.m. The show will have 3 topics, of which Metallica will be one - I guess we might get a 10 minute segment then.
"Verity Sharp gets behind-the-scenes access to rock behemoths METALLICA on tour in Norway. Having sold close to 100 million albums, METALLICA are probably the biggest and most influential heavy metal band ever, and are now about to release their long-awaited ninth studio album. Verity joins the band in Bergen [in July 2008], sitting in on the late night rehearsals and pre-gig rituals. Featuring interviews with lead singer James Hetfield, the ultimate reformed rocker, and Lars Ulrich, drummer and fellow founder of the band, Verity turns the volume up to 11 in this revealing, if you will, rockumentary of a unique band."
Launched in November 2004, "The Culture Show" is a weekly BBC Two magazine program broadcast on Tuesday nights, focusing on the latest developments in the worlds of film, music, art, fashion and the performing arts"

Think it showed why the St.Anger album was a bit of a mess.

Re: Metallica on BBC2 Tuesday 5th.
Thanks for the heads up - I wouldn't have seen it otherwise (stuck it on to record so I can skip the rubbish stuff
SKOM I thought was a GREAT documentary as it REALLY got into the problems Metallica faced as a band aswell as 4 individual guys - something a lot of documentaries don't show....
As for the title of the next record, can't say it fills me with excitement or anything, and having seen the tracklisting - The unforgiven 3?!?!?! Doubleyoutee-eff! Come on! Unforgiven was a SUPERB song, but Unforgiven 2 was awful!

Don't remind me!
I'll reserve judgement 100% until I've heard it, but they haven't made anything remotely decent since 1991. So I won't be holding my breath. And hopefully Kirk has misplaced his wah for this record too.

Re: Metallica on BBC2 Tuesday 5th.
I look forward to the 30 min special
Nice to see them all working as a unit again, last time I saw them was 2003 St Anger tour, and they were the tightest I've ever seen them live. Superb performance, proper tight, but the only thing I noticed was it was almost like the "spark" had gone from thier live set. The joviality, almost like the "fun" had gone out and it was all about serious music playing. Which made for a great performance, but not like the old days on the Justice and Black Album tours! I say bring back the beers! LOL

That's the problem. Metallica made the biggest mistake a rock group can make - they grew up and got serious  . [although they are rather popular and rich]

I can't say I agree there. Justice had it's moments probably due to the fact Cliff Burton was involved in the writing of some of it but they should have stopped in the late 80's. Metallica pretty much died with Cliff as far as I'm concerned.

I remember buying the Black Album and then working backwards through to Master and Ride the Lightning.......it was at these two albums that I suddenly went whoaaa!! whats going on here, this is far more animated and fresh......I had no idea at the time about Cliff Burton. Those albums taught me the difference between what a melodic bass player adds to a band compared with a straight up rythmn player.
I have noticed that something happens when you have to have a melodic bassist to counter balance a strong rythmn six string player and vica verca. Pretty much worked that way with Nirvana. Novoselic was a melodic player and Kurt was a rythmn player and there are many more examples.
Novoselic then formed a band with ex-meat puppets guitarist Kurt Kirkwood. Both were melodic players....both were great.......it didn't work.
Anyway, back to 'tallica.........after Ciff died they tried with Justice and struggled until they fell in with the very talented Micheal Kamen (do some reading and the direction they took and the sound they made becomes more to do with MK than anything else). St Anger seemed to be a return to doing it themselves.......and it really isn't great.
Back to Kamen this time ?
