Some Kind of Monster

I was never really into Metallica -- though I remember my junior high school friend Kevin had the coolest t-shirts from Master of Puppets, And Justifce for All, and so on.

Well, I watched the doc Some Kind of Monster. Did you know that the lead guitarist who founded Metallica with them -- Dave Mustaine -- got kicked out of the band in 1983...and founded Megadeth?! Man. Oh yeah, and the classic heavy stuff -- like the early 1990s festival shows -- I can appreciate it now.

Though I have to say that watching these guys go through their Tony Soprano-like "rockers on therapy" session totally destroys their power. They are so pathetic.
