Stuff like "Battery", "Call of Ktulu" and "Master of Puppets" were absolutely meant to be heard that way. Michael Kamen, the conductor who wrote the symphonic parts, really understood the music.

That reminds me of the "downfall" of G 'N R. Axl became more and more disconnected from the rest of the band. Then one day they show up for practice and Axl calls in a symphony. They were all like "what the hell", we are a rock band.
I did like the "Behind the Music" about Metallica. I was shocked out of my seat when they brought in Dave Mustane for an interview.
