Metallica
The Videos 1989-2004

I can still remember back when Metallica claimed that they would never invite the idea of ever making a music video. Oh yea, that’s when they believed in wearing only jeans and t-shirts and made some of the most potent epic metal that would forever change harder edged rock. Why couldn’t they just keep their word? Some say the video killed the radio star; well it sure as hell helped contribute to killing the artistic freedom Metallica was so dear regarded for. Now they were involved in the corporate music world they never dreamed they could be a part of.

This DVD contains all the videos that were consistently pumped out of the Metallica camp after the huge success of their infamous “Black” album. Included on this DVD are Twenty One videos in all with every thing from the dark images of “Enter Sand Man” to even their very surprisingly strong video for “St. Anger” at San Quintin Prison facility. I will say I did visually enjoy watching the trend following images that were captured over their lengthy career as the metal messiahs of the nineties but with that said this still ain’t much for your hard earned buck. For Metallica fans this offers nothing new to jonez over but if Metallica is your thing then I’m sure this would be a gracious purchase to further the art collection fund for Lars.
