The infamous movie details Metallica's descent into near-collapse during the recording of what would become their 2003 album St Anger. In one of the most remembered moments, "performance coach" Phil Towle has Ulrich and Mustaine discuss the emotional injury inflicted on the Megadeth man when he was thrown out of Metallica in 1983. Now Ulrich says that was the darkest moment in the thrash musicians' relationship. He tells Revolver: "In 1984 and 85 Dave would come up to play San Francisco a lot and I'd always go find him. We'd drink and do drugs and sit around. We got over our issues really quickly. We had a cool thing going through most of the 80s.
