Ever wonder what happened to some of those extra special fans from A Year and a Half, you know the ones. There's weirdo afro guy, Hella/Stella, Super-Tan Cowgirl and many more.
Are any of them on Facebook? Or on the boards? Its been what, about 25 years, who knows. Have you ever been documented into a Metallica something, or a Metal Doc. Of some sort? Meet & Greet footage, stuff like that.

My fav one are the two geeky dudes from the Freddie Mercury concert one of whom delivers a live that has been quoted to death in my circle of chums:
You have to make sure you get the tone and lisp just right for maximum comic effect.

I remember those guys, or how about Skinny Vinnie Paul, IRA Fan, and those two dorky guys in Kirks hotel room. There are so many funny characters in a Year and a Half. Is it just us looking back in time that makes them funny? I remember laughing at some of them when I was 12 and the films came out.

When I worked in a guitar shop, when I was younger, he came in, I recognised him right away. He asked to try a guitar, so hooked him up and as I handed him the guitar I said "By the way, Brian May is not the best guitarist in the world"  |

Did those cancer kids ever make it? I think that took place in Montreal or they did the same thing with some other sick kids in Montreal. I remember reading that somewhere, maybe the Bing & Purge tour book.
There's also that cleaning lady who sucked some cock so her brother could get backstage passes.
During the Montreal riot footage, you can see me and my buddies for about 0.5 seconds running around like fools.

She sucks dick" crew who was drinking Budweiser in a parking garage. |

Its really funny though because right next to the Olympic Stadium is the BioDome which was brand new at the time, those poor animals must have been really spooked. |

That was not a good advert for the Metal community, usually we are so nice... ''She was a real trooper, everyone shot a wad on her.''

Watching it again is worth it, especially if you haven't watched it in over 20 years. |

Does anyone know the name of the song that starts at 3:36? I've played that bit on guitar forever and never knew where it is from, then Mr. Sleeze takes you underground for some slutty fangirl chit-chat.

Pretty certain it's a song by The Shadows but I can't recall it at the moment. I'll get back to you. |

Yes! It would be interesting to see what they are all now up to!
I grew up watching Part 1 and Part 2 of this, and Live Shit, over and over again. I think it's why I think of The Black Album era as the "definitive" era of the band.
It's been years since I watched it last.

Yeah, same here. I need to watch it again, its been a few years since I tossed out my VHS player. I can close my eyes though and watch the whole thing. That shit is burnt into my brain. I learnt everything about how a record is made from watching part 1 at that time and then tried to apply that stuff on my little Tascam 4 track and started my demos and stuff from that point.
There are so many funny moments and the editing and insertion of B role footage is great. When their plane is about to crash and Lars starts singing La Bamba, then it cuts to some old black and white footage of a drunk guy flying a plane, so great.

Wait, she wasn't black? I'm not even joking, too. As for Hella-Stella... she seemed cool. Hope she stayed out of jail. Crazy to think that a lot of those young, rowdy 25 year olds are all a bunch of 50 years olds now.... Kind of depressing actually. |

.......... Have you ever been documented into a Metallica something, or a Metal Doc. Of some sort? Meet & Greet footage, stuff like that. I was pretty chuffed at the time to have my chat with James feature in the MetonTour video. @1.22 Also that song at 3.36 is Walk Don't Run by The Ventures. |

That's awsome! Thanks, I can sleep now. That song has been haunting me forever. Allways made me think of the Kids in the Hall song. I love that surfer sound.

I love surf music, but normally suck at song titles.
I knew that one though!

I met the Lobster guy, the tour manager who brings the whole lobster in for dinner and then proceeds to tell them how many people attended the show. Met him at a Stones show as he was walking up the aisle I recognized him but couldn't figure out where, it finally clicked right before he got to where I was sitting, he stooped and flirted with me for a couple minutes told him I was a fan who had seen the movie and recognized him, he giggled got a little embarrassed, then my boyfriend walked up... My friend and I have referred to him as the "Lobster Guy" for the last ten years.

Cant place the face for this lobster guy, I'll have to rewatch.
I met that huge guy that looks like Bruce Vilanch, high key security guy, he had to come find me and a small group of Meet and Great winners to bring us back stage. This was on the Poor Touring Me tour. I shook his hand and his hand was so big and meaty! Almost crushed my little hand. He was super cool and we chit-chated for a bit since there was this massive fuck up on where the winners had to meet up, the time of the meet and greet and then the actual location deep inside the building to meet the band. My friend and I were the only english speaking people so we got to really yak it up with him and some other staff before finally meeting James and Jason. Missed about 85% of COC's set do to all that, but whatever, I got to meet James and Jason.

Wow, that was a great watch, thanks. I just ignored my kids for the last 45 minutes, ha!
Peter Mench actually looks like he got younger over the years.

The fella on live shit outside the gig before who shouts METALLICAAAAAAAA really aggressively and holds the cast on his arm. One of the most cliche metalheads I've ever seen......almost as bad ad the long haired 50 year old in a Slayer tshirt who came up to me in a metal pub in London (intrepid fox) as I was enjoying 'Blackened' n said Metallica were pussy sell-outs
