Welcome to Nick's Pick's Vol. 1, in which we invite our Very Special Guest and returning champion Nick McCann on to discuss any documentary he chooses. Today's documentary is Some Kind of Monster, about Metallica, released in 2004, directed by Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky. If you are at all interested in music documentaries, you've probably seen this one, or it's at least on your radar. We go on an emotional journey with Metallica as they deal with the departure of bassist Jason Newsted, spend a whole lot of time with "performance enhancement coach" Phil Towle, record their infamous St. Anger album, audition new bass players, almost fall apart, James goes to rehab, the art auction happens, the "stock" argument goes down, Bob Rock is in the mix, they eat a lot of takeout, so many things happen in this legendary documentary that we can't possibly cover it all in one podcast, but we try to do it justice. Rock Docs is hosted by David Lizerbram & Andrew Keatts Twitter: @RockDocsPod Instagram: @RockDocsPod Cover Art by N.C. Winters - check him out on Instagram at @NCWintersArt
