What made Metallica the greatest? You could always ask the band...There are no harsher critics of Metallica's work than the group themselves. This unique film review draws on rare documentary footage of Metallica in performance and on tour alongside the candid reflections of Lars Ulrich, James Hetfield and Jason Newstead. This compelling film review is drawn from Metallica's own promotional interviews, television and radio archives around the world to help strip away the layers of sensationalism and half truths to produce the ultimate critical review of Metallica, drawn extensively from the band's own views as expressed to the media. This totally independent film and book review was made with complete editorial freedom. The recollections expressed have not been censored or reviewed by the interviewees, making this the ultimate hard hitting independent review on film and in print of the career of Metallica, focusing on the words of those who really matter; the musicians themselves. Other themes explored in the film include the effect of the changing line-ups and personnel upheavals within Metallica, and we also hear directly from Newstead himself on why he finally quit the band. The film draws extensively on footage of Metallica live at Woodstock '94 when the band were arguably at their artistic and creative peak.
