Surely you mean "Some Kind Of Monster," the best scene in which is when the hilariously incompetent group therapist tells everyone to relax and Lars Ulrich waits three seconds before spitting obscenities into James Hetfield's face. Kirk Hammet slaps his forehead, which creates a loud, cartoonish SMACK!
Oh, and the scene where Ulrich sells an awful painting for huge bucks is depressing.

I appreciate Cliff and all, but I always thought "(Anesthesia) Pulling Teeth" was pretty wanky. Cliff supposedly brought some conception of music theory to Metallica--ideas of harmony, counterpoint, etc. Stuff that made Metallica's music interesting. I won't say that Metallica-with-Cliff was OMG TEH BEST BAND EVAR, but their Cliff stuff is much, much better than their post-Cliff stuff.
I'll give Metallica high props for introducing me to H. P. Lovecraft, who became my favorite author. Notably, the Lovecraft references stopped after Cliff died. Hmm....
The only band that's come close to that was Current 93 making me aware of the writings of Thomas Ligotti.

Yeah, what did they make songs about after that? Of Wolf And Man is about what...? Werewolves? Geeze. I could have written that song, and I'm awful.

To be fair, the lyrics and concept of 'Of Wolf and Man' are waaaay better than, say, 'Bark at the Moon'.

Neither one of those is "Werewolves Of London" by Warren Zevon or John Spencer's "She Said."
