It’s been practically 20 years since Metallica launched Some Form of Monster, the documentary that showcased the highs and excessive lows of the band throughout the worst years of their existence, and folks nonetheless have questions: why did they launch such an unflattering movie? How do they really feel about it at this time?

Whereas chatting with BBC Radio (transcribed by Blabbermouth), Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich defined that the thought behind Some Form of Monster was to be as clear with their followers as humanly potential.

“Transparency has all the time been a extremely huge factor for us. And so we determined very early on that the bands that we appreciated and the bands that we have been impressed by, most of them have been very clear. And we needed to have the door, the connecting door to the followers, be as open huge as potential. I believe in case you determine to open the door, the one factor you are able to do is open the door utterly. You may’t cherry-pick when to let folks in. It’s gotta be the great and the dangerous, and it’s gotta be all of it, and there’s gotta be steady entry. So we really feel that we’ve all the time tried to honor that. And that film from 20 years in the past was clearly… I believe for lots of people that by no means had that type of open door entry to a rock and roll band and seeing all of it, together with the warts and all of the loopy shit that was happening behind the doorways as we have been attempting to determine who we have been and attempting to determine a manner by understanding the expansion that had occurred with who we have been as folks and the way we associated to one another and the state of our minds and our personal psychological well being and all of it. And at the moment, clearly, there have been all these digital camera crews there, and we simply determined to go for it, as a result of we weren’t scared and we trusted the movie folks and we felt that that type of transparency was a part of who we have been.”

Very similar to his stance on pirating, you gotta respect the truth that Lars Ulrich sticks to his weapons about these issues. It could be finest to go away the remedy classes unreleased subsequent time, although.
