THE VIDEOS 1989-2004

I watched this at a friend's place and we had fun reminiscing over the Metallica years, how far they had come over the years and we bemoaned St Anger, and praised Death Magnetic. It is 2 solid hours of what Metallica did since the early years and most of the clips are more than just concert performances lip synched. One is the ultimate statement on war but it is boring after a first viewing due to all the film footage inserted. Enter Sandman is a classic clip with some epileptic inducing flashing of the band mixed with the iconic worried old man and teen being chased by a Mack truck. The Unforgiven is black and white disturbia that makes little sense and yet hangs together and looks like a Jew hiding from a Nazi. Nothing Else Matters is such a great song the clip does not matter but it is more black and white surrealism. Other standouts are The Memory Remains with green decadent sets and Marianne Faithful's mystique. The more recent Fuel is a petrol head tribute, and St. Anger's clip is better than the song.The bonus tracks are the excellent Jammin' Version of One and the Theatrical Version of The Unforgiven running for 11:29. Overall this is the ultimate Metallica MTV experience.
