Metallica (Official Thread)

Might purchase it myself if I see it in shops. The songs I heard were quite decent. Hate Train initially wasn't for me but it definitely grew on me.

I'm sorry, but they should stop doing covers at the concerts as they completely ruin them. Really hated this Naz cover. :s

They should do Mercyful Fate cover more often.

Listening to Hate Train again, I like the song more now then I did originally, this is a song they really should have had on the album. So many songs on Magnetic sounded like b sides yet the ones on the EP sound like album quality.

really? I didn't mind that at all. Rough getting into the song on that vid, but thankfully the video quality and sound quality made it worth waiting for before they finally/actually got into the song.

Judas is possibly my favorite Nazareth song and I thought the did a pretty good job of doing a live/unplugged version of it.

The thing is the original track has that feel and meaning of the song, even Nazareth play it very rarely or possibly never. Metallica's version is definitely unrehearsed.

Since "I Am The Table" thingy I believe I can expect from them pretty much everything now.

Still liking the DVD of cunning stunts, really good sound on that there are a few covers on that too and they are good

I got heavily into Metallica in 1988. They were Great! I was terrified by Metal Militia because I loved it so much and it meant that I had to give up the fact that Iron Maiden were the best band on the planet! It was just wild and raw and exciting!

1990 Lars Ulrich gave an interview to Wear Fm (basically it broadcasted within a 15 mile radius of Sunderland) on the once weekly metal Glass Hammer programme plugging the Black Album a month or so before it came out. I've never been so disappointed with an album. What Metallica did best was the pacey stuff - so that was it for me.

Hey - I owe a lot to Metallica. I'm 35 now. I've been playing guitar since I was 15 thanks to them. The Kill 'Em All stuff wasn't like Maiden. I could actually play it - and get turned on by it! I didn't realise at the time how much of a loss Cliff Burton was. The Cliff 'em All video is brilliant. My dad thought all metal was dated but he liked Anaesthesia which says a lot to me.

I think they're helped by the fact that they are American - America doesn't do metal very well. BUT Master of Puppets is a classic album. The Thing That Should Not Be hints at what they would have done if Cliff hadn't pulled the ace of spades that night and we're all worse off for that.

Still, the band are in a decent place right now. Great to see Dave Mustaine playing with them in SF the other week. They might not be the band the were in 1986, but they're still going and putting out reasonable stuff and the fact that they've done what they've done is reason enough to celebrate.

Bang the Head that does not bang ! \m/

Great track from the Beyond Magnetic EP - Just A Bullet Away...great riff...



I listened to the LULU album and I don't mind it well the first disc is better than the second disc

Lulu really should be looked on as a Lou Reed album, not Metallica, Metallica did not make the album.
I also agree that Just A Bullet Away was some killer riffs.
