Ahead of Metallica's eagerly anticipated return to Glasgow this month, lead guitarist Kirk Hammett fields key questions from The Prodigy's Keith Flint and Stone Temple Pilots frontman Scott Weiland

Keith Flint (The Prodigy): Some Kind of Monster just blew me away. When you were filming it, did you realise you were making such a great documentary? When you watched it back, did it answer a lot of questions?

Kirk: “When we were filming it, it wasn’t with the intention to release it as a movie. It was only in the final hours that we thought maybe we could turn it into one. But at the end of the day the joke was on us. I still have problems with how candid it is, I’m a very private person who enjoys solitude and privacy, so that was in direct conflict with how I am naturally. But, watching it back, I thought ‘this is a cool movie and it has the potential to actually help people and maybe even help other bands.’ That was the big thing that I got out of it. In the end, it really didn’t matter if it was us or if it was someone else – the message of the movie is that if you really care about something enough you can work your problems through, no matter how difficult it might seem.”
