Metallica Get Cuddly
Awwww, aren’t they sweet? Rockers Metallica star in a new documentary, where the band are seen having therapy sessions after coming close to breaking up.
Their psychotherapist, Phil Towle, apparently described the band as a “dysfunctional middle-aged family still trying to live by rules that they had established in their teenage years”. I’ll let you read the rest of the article in your own time, but before I go, I loved the imagery this last paragraph brought to mind.
The band is keen to spread their message of purity: Hetfield is shown in the film visiting a US prison and lecturing murderers about “getting in touch with their rage”. The killers’ response is a mass of obscene gestures.
