NOW THAT WE'RE DEAD DRUMS :p

Sound quality isn't the best. Might be cool in person.

That's fucking awesome! Shit like this is why I consider them the best live band. The showmanship is just incredible.

After watching 311 do this similar drum interlude during the song Applied Science for the last 20 years (https://youtu.be/s5sNu84tDAQ?t=4m45s), this is pretty poor.  But that's only because other bands have done it significantly better.  Still cool to see Metallica do something different.

There's also a second drum kit that rises out of the catwalk for the encore.

Mike their mix engineer posted a pic of it and it's all MIDI skins. I guess so they don't have to mic up a 2nd drumkit and get it sounding exactly like the first one.

They can trigger everything and sample the acoustic kit.

That's my  guess anyway.

So I just watched footage of James, Satriani, and Billie Joe Armstrong perform an acoustic mashup of Turn The Page and Blvd Of Broken Dreams.

I don't know how I feel about this...
I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

I think hardwired is great, but I definitely like DM a whole lot more. It just feels much more intricate and the music is more complex and hard hitting.

But to Hardwired's credit, the songs are very well written and super catchy, so they are both great.

I think Death Magnetic is a bit meandering and the arrangements and tempos could be a lot better.

Rehearsal with Lady Gaga, much better than the actual version. Better sound, better performances.


However, Lady Gagas dancing is just......not helping anything. I wished they included her style of music instead of her dancing. This isn't exactly a song to dance to.

I enjoyed her dancing, but that may be due to what she was wearing. Or rather, what she wasn't wearing.

That dress rehearsal is just so much better than the actual thing in every single way. Very cool.

EDIT: The youtube vid isn't available in the UK for some reason (seriously, wtf is with these location restrictions) but Metallica's own version is available anywhere: https://metallica.com/videos/32631/how-it-should-have-sounded-metallica-lady-gaga-moth-into-flame-dress-rehear

The stage is a trip. When you walk in it doesn't look all that impressive, but once you get underneath it's overwhelming. And the catwalk around the snakepit is enormous. I was close enough to see every weather-worn wrinkle in Iggy Pop, but I could barely make out his drummer who was so far away. (and Iggy was great) Good stage show with all of the graphics overlaying the live footage. However, there was a highly disappointing lack of pyro for a Metallica gig. They seem to have discovered lasers now and that's supplanted the explosions. Not even during the intro to One, or the Landmine. A few puffs of fire from the top of the stage during Fuel and Moth, and a good 5 minute fireworks display after the gig, but that's about it.

On a side note, I saw Slayer on the Raining Blood tour. My left arm was around a lady-friend and clutching the barricade while my right was holding up my half of a chair to protect us from all of the other chairs and bodies flying upwards at us. The Mexicans made that shit look like one of Orbert's church concerts. All I can say is that those poor bastards at Riverfront suffered pretty awful deaths.

And tomorrow night awaits.   :metal

As usual you misinterpreted my meaning (although perhaps this time I wasn't abundantly clear). While I had a blast at Slayer, last night was actually scary. There were probably 15k in my front floor section, and 10k of them were behind me and moving forward. I'm a genuine badass at concerts with 33 years under my belt and that's the first time I really felt concerned for my safety.

And the reason I'm spending some time in my apartment piddling away on DTF on this lovely Saturday in Mexico City is because I can hardly walk after all of that.

I'm confused, there are chairs on the floor?  The rush at concerts when the band starts and everyone surges forward toward the stage can be kind of scary at small concerts, can't imagine that at a huge concert in Mexico where it's much rowdier than the US.

Nah, I was just comparing the level of mayhem to a slayer show where there were (foolishly) chairs on the floor. This was wilder. And yeah, there were upwards of 35k on the floor, half in my section moving every which way. Spooky shit.

Lars' Snake Pit kit.

It looks like all the drums and cymbals are electronic. I guess it makes sense. He only plays it for 3 songs and it saves having all the microphones in the way / balancing two whole kits to sound the exact

same. Plus i wouldn't be surprised if they sampled the live kit into it.

It's only for one song. S&D wraps up the set. Then they play a random song and two steady ones for the encore where he's back at the regular kit.

Better set this evening. Glad I got to see RtL, and while SOtB would have been better, SNM is a good random new song. For that slot I would have preferred Confusion on Wed night, though.

Oh and one of the comments on the E-kit pics :

" The drum triggers generally sound the same (maybe even a little better). But Lars is probably doing this for attention "

Also James has bleached his hair again.

He can do what he wants of course. But I find it odd when actors or musicians stop dyeing their hair - let it grow out grey for ages than just start again.

And it never looks as natural as when they did it before either :P

I just spent the other day ranking them and my opinion already changed since.

Puppets
Lightning
Black album
Justice
Load
Reload
KILLthemall
Hardwired
Death Magnetic
St Anger.

Im usually pretty mature when it comes to music i dont like butSt Anger may be one of the worst albums ive ever heard. I  cant think of one redeeming quality. Except that i got a good review of how obnoxious a brass snare drum can sound.

It's Metallica plus Guns n' Roses and Sebastian Bach doing a.........something. Not great quality, but god damn that would have been cool to see in person.

That was the RIP Magazine party.  There weren't too many illicit substances going around that night, right?!?
