I don't think Hetfield was ever a drug user or cigarette smoker.

I know he had cigars now and again but it was mainly Lars & Kirk who did coke.

Randomly digging around the LiveMet site.... Holy crap the Webster Hall show from back in Sept. is incredible.

They got Greg to mix it, rather than their usual touring mix dude... The sound quality is sooooo much better.

I was just doing a side by side comparison of Moth from that show (Webster Hall):
https://www.livemetallica.com/live-music/0,529/Metallica-mp3-flac-download-9-27-2016-Webster-Hall-New-York-NY.html

And their most recent gig in Korea:
https://www.livemetallica.com/live-music/0,533/Metallica-mp3-flac-download-1-11-2017-Gocheok-Sky-Dome-Seoul-KOR.html

Night and day difference.

Edit: oops Moth preview for the Webster gig is James talking, duh. Master is a better comparison, preview on each is almost the same portion of the song.

The title track is pretty similar to KEA, & I think that that interview is around the time of that single's release.

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.

The morons on that Instagram link are talking about Napster  :facepalm: It's been what, 18 years?

Anyone who still bitches about Napster don't know what they're talking about.

The kind of moron who thinks Metallica actually sued their own fans for downloading their music.

That wasn't the case at all.

Someone got hold of an unfinished recording of I Disappear and it got up on Napster.

It was a knee jerk reaction from the band admittedly - but it wasn't people are downloading our catalogue for free ?!?!?!

It was more like - this song isn't even finished and released and people are hearing it without our consent.

There is a Metallica FanPage on YouTube called Milanica. YouTube Pulled his account as it had lots of Metallica bootlegs and videos etc.

Metallica *personally* helped him get his entire library back up.

Lars:...........in an hour it'll be almost 7 o'clock

I always forget about Moth Into Flame...So when I hear it after a while I remember how amazing it is.

Every song on Disc 1 is pretty mush a home run.

Even Hardwired - which works as a short, aggressive energetic opener.

Yes.

In studio videos are always fun and interesting.

Unless it's System of A Down - whose Mez / Hyp making of DVD was total cack. Deliberately low res and filmed the most uninteresting stuff.

I HATE really shitty wannabe "arty" dvds like that.

When they could have filmed a really decent making of...

Q :

Where would you put Lords of Summer ( HTSD version ) if it was on the proper album ?

I think it would sound good after Am I Savage?

Either right after Hardwired or at the very end of the album. I originally made a version that had the original demo as track 2 & the final version as track 14, so you hear the evolution of the song from the demo to the final version.

Murder One isn't the best song on the album but I can't understand why everyone hates it so much.

Compared to some of the tripe they've written over the years it's definitely album worthy.

I don't see it as " worst song on the album "

I see it as " Hardwired has 11 songs which I prefer "...

I didn't say I hated it. I just don't care much for it. When I listen to the whole album I don't skip it, I just enjoy it the least amount. Thus....it's the worst song on the album to me. But on an album full of 8/10 and 9/10, a 5/10 stands out. Even if they wrote much much worse in the past.

It's funny though.

They jammed the main riff at a gig between songs and I was like " oh wow that riff is awesome - I hope that's on the album ".

But it's far from the best riff on the album. :p

I like the song . I just like the other 12 *more*...

Yup that's where I am with this album. I'd say it's strong and consistent throughout, so the few tunes that I don't like as much aren't bad, they just aren't as good as the rest.

The hell is Vulturus?

And yea, Murder One is better than all of St. Anger and most of Death Magnetic. But I don't like those albums.

Easily the worst song they ever wrote. YouTube Metallica The Other New Song 2006 if you dont remember it

This may be old news, but apparently Escape was never supposed to be on RTL

https://www.metalsucks.net/2017/03/13/metallicas-james-hetfield-reveals-which-song-was-never-supposed-to-be-on-ride-the-lightning/

I worship that album, but always had a problem with that song since day one. It just didn't feel like it fit in with the other songs, and now it makes sense.

I had read stuff to that effect before, that basically Escape was thrown together to please the label and James HATED it.

Also - side note. I was listening to disc 2 of HWtSD on my way into work today and while the second disc isn't as consistent as the first, James' vocals are absolutely stellar throughout every song. Terrific performance by him.

So it looks like - according to the Spit Out The Bone making of - they've been hacking away at this album since 2012 if not earlier.

James still has brown hair at the very start of the video.

No wonder it sounds so good. They've been gradually perfecting it bit by bit. Working on it here and there.

I know they said they started writing "proper" in September 2014 but that must have been when they entered the studio to do "heads down" nailing the arrangements and start tracking.
