a few members of Hawkwind talk about Lem, but there's hardly any footage of them together

Loved the Lemmy doc-  I have got tickets to go see Motorhead in February

Lol-   There is no way my son will give up that ticket!  Lucky kid huh?

^^^ I own both of those and love each one.  I used to show Some Kind of Monster to in-patient clients during free time back when I was an addiction counselor, because of Hetfield leaving halfway through filming to enter rehab, and how his absence and then return and his need to adhere to a recovery schedule affected his bandmates and family.  Sure it was supposed to be about covering the band as they recorded the St. Anger album, but the real story was Hetfield's addiction.  Great documentary; you don't even have to be a fan of the band to be moved by it.

^^^ Both are great parts, though Mustaine comes off as kind of whiney and "poor me"-ish.  Great musician, but he was kicked out of the band because he was drunk all the time.  Get over it, dude.  Of course it is kind of ironic that years later Hetfield left temporarily because of the same thing.

I also thought it was interesting, and very true to life, when Lars is giving James shit because of his recovery schedule.  To a person in addiction recovery, their recovery schedule is essential.  You have to be selfish because recovery is your prime directive above all else, including family, friends and business, or it's doomed to failure.  And Lars' reaction, how Het's schedule angered and irritated him, I saw that stuff all the time from clients' families and friends.  It's not a wrong reaction; it's natural to be angry when you have to bend your own life to accommodate someone who got themselves into Hetfield's mess, but that he wasn't as understanding as he could have been actually made me dislike the little Danish prick a bit.
