The best thing about St. Anger was the “Some Kind of Monster” documentary. I think all the scenes of the useless, psychobabbling Phil Towle getting slapped and beat down by all and sundry must have been left on the cutting room floor. They all gave him credit for helping them, but I never could figure out how. Sitting around all day and spouting platitudes for $40,000 per month is truly helpful?
When Hetfield told Towlie that his services were no longer needed and Towlie repeatedly objected to ending the sessions I wanted Hetfield to just yell, LOOK Fucker, YOU’RE FIRED!
