Award-winning filmmakers Bruce Sinofsky and Joe Berlinger (of the Paradise Lost films on HBO) direct Metallica: Some Kind of Monster, a documentary about rock stars in therapy. After 20 years of heavy metal, a few members of Metallica decide to hire psychologist Phil Towle to work out some group tensions during the making of their album St. Anger. Most of the therapy sessions involve drummer Lars Ulrich and singer/guitarist James Hetfield, with some input from guitarist Kirk Hammett. Also included are former band members Dave Mustaine of Megadeth and ex-bassist Jason Newsted. The band works through difficulties in group dynamics, personal demons, and relationship issues. The film shows recording sessions as well as therapy sessions, including the recruitment of bassist Robert Trujillo. The much-publicized controversies of Internet file-sharing and Hetfield's drug rehabilitation are also discussed. In 2003, Metallica released the album St. Anger on Elektra Records. Metallica: Some Kind of Monster was shown at the Sundance Film Festival in 2004 as part of the American Spectrum competition. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, Rovi

Like the other programs in the Behind the Music series, this long look at the popular heavy metal band Megadeth is chock-full of interviews and footage. The focus of this program is the mighty Dave Mustaine. Here, Mustaine's struggles with the music industry and the bottle are documented as well as the feud that led him to leave the popular band Metallica.

While entertaining some out-of-town investors, Drew (Drew Carey) joins his buddies Oswald (Diedrich Bader) and Lewis (Ryan Stiles) for an improptu songfest at the airport Ramada Inn. When the hotel's manager offers to book the boys on a permanent basis, Drew is reluctant--until he discovers that his one-shot performance has earned him the undying devotion of a sexy groupie named Darcy (Pauly Perrette). Now Drew and his friends must find an appropriate guitarist for their combo, resulting in a Commitments-style series of auditions featuring a staggering array of celebrity guests. Joe Walsh, Jimmy Fox and Dale Peters of The James Gang make the first of a handful of appearances in this episode, which is rounded out by a secondary story arc wherein Kate (Christa Miller) begs Drew to fire her so she can shop around for a better job. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
