I do not know if the band members of Metallica only see each in an agressive attitude. After the first blow up (the failure at the make-shift studio) the documentary shows Kirk at a farm with horses running free. Then we have Lars speaking with his father about his music on a very personal level. Can you imagine James at either one of these places? Or Lars at Kirk's farm? These alternate, more personal, and calm enviornments the band members put themselves in have to be isolated from eachother.
Even when James and Lars brought their own kids into the studio it creates an odd feeling, which contributed to Jason Newsted leaving the band. Their is a point in the movie where the band is writing lyrics for a song they just wrote. Conner (I think that was the kids name) is there to listen to the music, but Conner's mother took him away once the band began to talk. I think the mother knew from experience, that it would be a poor decision to leave the child there.
Every member of the band only sees eachother in one light. They only see eachother as Metallica, the 90's icon of rage. Although this may be the best way to work it is the main reason why their is so much conflict between them. It's as if the band does not see eachother as humans.
