Dark Souls: Unauthorized

Description

On "Metallica: Dark Souls" we go behind the music to discover what it took for this unlikely group of head bangers to remain Kings of the Metal Scene for over two decades (and counting!). Packed with interviews this documentary film takes you where the cameras have never previously preyed to achieve an uncensored look at a truly legendary band. Metallica have remained at the top of their game whilst other groups have fallen by the wayside. Nevertheless, the band's dynamic has changed drastically since they first came together in 1982, with them working their way through numerous lead guitarists and continuing after the tragic death of bassist Cliff Burton.

Customer Reviews:

No new information.......2005-10-08

This dvd is the same old information we have known about the band for ages now. None of the dvd had the band members on it. It was a huge waste of money unless you are a new Metallica fan and know nothing about them. Skip this dvd if you are looking for something with the band members on it.

Very Interesting Angle.......2005-04-17

Be warned that this video mostly features friends and relatives talking about Metallica. You will see and hear very little of the band. I learned a lot of interesting facts and stories from this video. Highly recommended to all Metallica fans.

Ridiclous!.......2004-04-10

I'm a hardcore Metallica-fan. Metallica has been a big part of my life, and I tell ya, this is not what you want if you want to learn more about Metallica. The band itself is nearly not represented in this DVD(!) It's just friends of the band who give the story. There's no Metallica-music, no special interviews that you haven't already seen a hundred times. Furthermore, this DVD is FULL of flaws. I wonder what relationship the makers of this DVD really have to Metallica. I mean, it "Hammett" not "Hammit"! And it's "Newsted" not "Newstead"!!!!! Spelling errors?! It's probably beacause it's not authorized, but if you can't do it right, why do it at all?! This is the least professional making of a Metallica-documentary I've ever seen!!

My advice is:
DO NOT BUY THIS DVD!

Terrible.......2003-10-21

I highly recommend you do NOT buy this DVD. I bought it off of Amazon and couldn't wait to get it, and it was a huge disappointment. First of all, the band doesn't have anything to say in this. It's all "friends" of the band who knew them back in the early days. The commentary sucks, some lady with a British accent that can't say Mustaine. There is no Metallica music in this DVD because it wasn't ok'd by Metallica or the label so the music is a bunch of depressing, immitation metal. I am a very loyal Metallica fan and own tons of Metallica DVDs that are worth having. Like Year in the Half in the life of..and Cliff 'Em All. This is just a waste of money. The only thing good about it is it says Metallica on it in my DVD rack.
