Trivia
According to 'James Hetfield' Metallica: Some Kind of Monster was originally to be a 6 part mini-series for VH1 inspired by the success of MTV's The Osbournes. However, after seeing much of the footage the band felt this was not a direction they wanted to take their careers and bought out VH1's rights to the material and made the film as you see it today.
