Liking it better than Hardwired at this point, but it's once again pretty standard thrash fair, which by no means is bad. In fact, it's pretty damn decent.

I have just now finally heard Moth Into Flame. Wow, I think it's an awesome tune. Kirk reminds me of Jannick Gers here.

Love it!
would have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related

I loved the tone they had on DM, it was very bright. But this one kicks ass too!

It was bright due to digital distortion on the final mix.

It also sounded weak and brittle.

I like the singing part of the chorus and that's it in the whole song. Either a) what the fuck happened to this band? or b) what happened to my taste?

Like this is just so boring to me. DM was too. Load and Reload were pretty great and I loved RtL, MoP, and AJFA. Thought TBA was ok. I just don't know...

Might be Het's voice is no longer working for me. I don't know what it is. I just know I'm less than impressed.

Oh you're one of those :lol

They're in their 50s. They can't make Master Of Puppets again. This is the best they've sounded in over 15 years. If you want the same shit over and over go listen to Slayer or AC/DC or Motorhead.

He still is and always will be my all time favorite bassist. The influence he has had on my playing is immesurable. I would not be playing bass today if it wasn't for Cliff.

I still think the question of what would Metallica be today if Cliff didn't die is the biggest mystery in modern music history. Would he have stayed in the band? Would the black album have happened? Would Metallica be as big as they are?

Liking the new track a lot more than DM! Kirk actually playing something melodic without it sounding bad is nice.

This is all I could think of at first though - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWCMRm2hrcQ
Jordan took Moore's boring, pedestrian parts and elevated them considerably to take them from barely palatable to stellar.

Well, I think the overall scheme of things wouldn't have changed. Death makes someone immortal and flawless so to speak, imagine Elvis dying at 27, he would be an iconic legend more than he already is and nobody could ever picture him fat and struggling to sing.

Back when Metallica were young and hungy kids taking the world by storm, who could have imagined the fearless leader James Hetflied cutting his hair? who would have thought the other mind of the band, Lars Ulrich, could become so enraged at Napster?  and who wouldn't have laughed at the idea of the solo master Kirk Hammett being sloppy and with eyeliner?

Nothing tells us that Cliff would have stayed "true to Metallica's heart" or whatever, he could have grown tired of the music like Kevin Moore and leave of his own account for all we know. He was a young boy like everyone else, who now are married family men. Like the others changed, so probably he would have.
I use my sig to pimp some bands from Italy! Check out Elvenking (Power / Folk metal), Folkstone (Rock / Medieval metal), Arcana Opera (Gothic/Noir/Heavy metal) and the beautiful voice of Elisa!

Not sure how the balance of power was back then in the band. Pretty sure Hetfield/Ulrich called the shots, but their direction in the 90's might have differed a little. Who knows really.

Constant Motion is an ok song on an ok album that owes a huge debt to Metallica.

Well, now I want to hear Dream Theater play Constant Motion but with Hetfield doing MP's vocals.

And I like Constant Motion. I know that means I have bad music taste in the eyes of DTF, but I think it's a good track. One of their best? No, not at all, but that doesn't mean it isn't good.

I enjoy it plenty as a fun little throwaway track. To me it's the music equivalent of a summer action movie in that there's fun stuff in there but no real substance.

Back on the forum after a while! Hey there.
This song revived my hopes for the album, really. Hardwired was too 'edgy' in my opinion. But this takes the modern Metallica sound and gives a wave of fresh air to it, i think. Either that or it's a freaking fun track. I don't know, each track from 'Death Magnetic' onward is fun for me.

I think both of the new songs so far are OK. Only issue I had with Hardwired is some of the silly lyrics. Moth is alright. I don't go gaga just cause they had some melody in the chorus, cause I actually don't much care for the melody used there. To me its blander than the verses where as someone mentioned before, even though James isn't singing with much melody there's groove to it. Overall not bad but they'll always have huge expectations for every song and release.

Lol at those saying the song is too thrashy. Yeah, parts of it have sixteenth notes instead of quarter notes. BIG FREAKING DEAL. It doesn't have to plod along with quarter notes for 6 or 7 minutes like a Pink Floyd song to be good. Playing sixteenth notes adds energy and oomph. Also count me among those who liked the solo.

He still is and always will be my all time favorite bassist. The influence he has had on my playing is immesurable. I would not be playing bass today if it wasn't for Cliff.

Is that a small scale bass or was he just an exceptionally large man?

He was tall (even taller than Hetfield) but the bass also looks small due to the angle the picture was taken at.
