Just watched the Grammy performance... A few thoughts...

I watched on my crappy computer speakers at work, so the sound wasn't great but it sounded like Lang Lang was playing some cool stuff.

James sounded awesome!!

Lars' timing and tempos were really shakey.

James sounded very good indeed, maybe the best he's sounded since the nineties? He also looked a lot better without the goatee and hair dye.

Quoting comment from Youtube: "The pianist might be good but he totally messed up this performance."
Lol, no. That was Lars. If he would've kept the same tempo (and preferably not much faster than the album version) it would've sounded great.

I respectfully digress with that statement.

Anywho, I didn't mind that performance of One at the Grammys with the pianist. It's a decent twist of a song we've been hearing a lot on radio, live, etc. for up to 25 years. Is it perfect? No, maybe not. Was it enjoyable? I say yes and, at the end of the day, that is what is all about.

I thought the piano didn't fit at all. And that was just a sad performance for Lars.

That. The piano did have a couple of cool moments, but it didn't work with Metallica's performance overall (and I think the band's intonation was slightly off too). I almost feel sorry for Hetfield being stuck with those other guys.

Yeah, now that you mention it. He's the only one who seems to really give a shit enough to at least work on his shortcomings.

black_biff_stadler · « **Reply #921 on:** January 28, 2014, 12:15:10 AM »

I think Trujillo's cool too. He's just woefully underutilized.

sneakyblueberry · « **Reply #922 on:** January 28, 2014, 12:16:16 AM »

Oh yeah, definitely. I didn't count him cos the whole thing is still relatively 'new' for him, at least in comparison to the other guys.

black_biff_stadler · « **Reply #923 on:** January 28, 2014, 12:17:54 AM »

It'd be awesome to see a Het/Trujillo/Mustaine/Lombardo EP.

Agreed, but I'm not counting him since he's a newer member, and not part of the core member suckage.

I'm sure most of us have seen that cool clip where Rob's fucking around with flamenco shit on acoustic and straight shreddin. It'd be cool if they had some of that on an album some time.

Dark Castle · « **Reply #926 on:** January 28, 2014, 06:52:15 AM »

That video's hilarious, because Kirk comes in and has this look of "what the fuck, I'm supposed to be the guy awesome with guitar!!!" and tries shredding out on his guitar for a few seconds before giving up.

black_biff_stadler · « **Reply #927 on:** January 28, 2014, 09:17:05 AM »

Kirk probably tried to get wild and go outside of E minor and quickly became uncomfortable.

Kotowboy · « **Reply #928 on:** January 28, 2014, 11:00:39 AM »

It's because Rob was playing in Phrygian and Locrian and Kirk was way out of his league

sneakyblueberry · « **Reply #929 on:** January 28, 2014, 06:09:58 PM »

Kirk knows dominant phrygian. Js.

Kotowboy · « **Reply #930 on:** January 28, 2014, 06:14:57 PM »

I know . Just kidding. The Roam solo is proof of this.

Eye of the Beholder's solo is pretty exotic sounding. Anyone care to hip me to what mode that's in?

Zook · « **Reply #934 on:** January 28, 2014, 08:25:55 PM »

They already passed 6 minutes. Why not just play the whole damn song?

Hetfield : " Orion festival was a Financial Disaster - so that can't happen again. "

Metallica ! Making terrible decisions since 2001 !

Anguyen92 · « **Reply #936 on:** January 30, 2014, 12:22:21 PM »

I'm kinda bummed out that the Orion Festival failed. It might have been built to a platform that would have helped out a lot of bands to gain better traction in the US. What a shame.

That could be Phrygian Dominant too I think.

Anyone going to see Metallica By Request in Helsinki this summer ?

I bet Lars doesn't play that awesome drum bit at the 4 minute mark.

Kotowboy · « **Reply #941 on:** January 31, 2014, 10:23:05 AM »

I love that china sound in the intro.

Anguyen92 · « **Reply #942 on:** January 31, 2014, 11:12:57 AM »

Wow, I just looked at a Denmark setlist. They might play St. Anger (song) in that show. I didn't think that it was on any fan's radar to wanting it get played. Some of the Germany shows have it as well. Wow, this is totally unexpected.

It's really short, but that is one of my favourite drum fills in any Metallica song.
