That's the truth about the band and like it or lump it, they are a bunch of whiny, angst-ridden rich, muthafuckers. I'm just impressed by the bravery to say, "Yeah, we'll continue with the filming and we'll be as honest as we can be." I don't know if I can do that.Vivhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07143093739225121136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6541804.post-1094581208436060452004-09-07T13:20:00.000-05:002004-09-07T13:20:00.000-05:00Heh!

That's a funny sc...Heh! "My little Danish Friend!"<br /><br />That's a funny scene, but I still have sympathy for Dave Mustaine. Like I said before, Megadeth has long been judged as the offical "also-ran" to Metallica (Slayer, Anthrax, Exodus, Armored Saint and all the other Bay Area bands never had to live with that distinction) I guess it would suck to see your former bandmates go off to become huge successes, while you are known by many as "the guy who got kicked out" Especially since they were as fucked up on drugs as he was at the time.<br /><br />["Viv doesnt care" section] As for the common opinion of the "the band died with Cliff" I respectfully call that out as BS. Cliff was the most musically experimental, but bad production values aside, "And Justice" is the closest thing to progressive rock Metallica has ever done. I'll go to my grave defending that album. And there is solid, if poppy songwriting on The Black Album... Everything after that, I can't help ya with ;)[/Viv doesn't care section]<br /><br />Yeah, Some Kind of Monster is a good film. It won't win them much love, they are shown to be the people that many people feared they were: selfish, greedy whiners. But I think it goes a long way in explaining the complicated relationships they have with each other and long-time fans have with them... It's weird to love and hate a band at the same time.K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10685935004988095531noreply@blogger.com
