Metallica ARE...Hardwired…To Self-Destruct

probably one of the worst ones in the history of rock music.

now that we're dead my dee-uhhhhh

first disc of this kicks ass top to bottom

idk why I'm putting this here but anyway I'm watching Through the Never now because I'm off of work tomorrow and this is basically just a concert video with a silly subplot with Dane Dehaan tacked in.

like Metallica didn't think people would pack movie theaters to listen to their shit on its own merits, but like all they do is play music for 20 minutes and every so often you see Dane DeHaan's boss say something like "ok I need you to drive 713 blocks to get a ham sandwich with this obscure mustard for the boys do it or you're fired".

oh shit then DeHaan gets into the fakest looking car wreck I've ever seen omg lol. van rolls with no seatbelt on and then Metallica inexplicably goes into "Ride the Lightning"

James gets really angry at a malfunctioning microphone and throws it over. random roadie gets a dramatic cameo with a look of consternation.

That hits a little too close to home!

haha!

they actually kept this malfunction for the audio release version.
it pisses me off each time i listen to the album.
maybe if i watch the film then maybe i will appreciate this key part of the storyline more ?

James should have gotten an oscar, total gravitas with that microphone
