I bet Lars doesn't play that awesome drum bit at the 4 minute mark.
It's really short, but that is one of my favourite drum fills in any Metallica song.
There's a similar drum fill in Rebel Of Babylon - albeit played with much less precision.

Well, I'll still listen to anything new from Metallica when they are good and ready although they should have been good and ready for about the last, let's say, three years or so.

If they'd started in 2011 when they originally planned to instead of doing the movie which nobody went to see - the album would be pretty much out now.

Metallica are playing a brand new song at their gig tonight.

It should be all over the net tomorrow but i'm not holding out much hope of it being any good.

"Death is Not the End" was slightly better than St Anger material but they chopped it up and made two better songs out of it.

And " Vulturus" was laughable.

I think either it will be short-ish and punchy like Cyanide or really too long like All nightmare Long or Death is Not the End.

Frankly, I appreciate that they try new stuff out and then refine it based on how it feels live and how the crowd reacts.  Not many bands of that size would do that.

I'm with Rick. Kotowboy, I wonder what enjoyment you get out of listening to Metallica or posting in this thread since upwards of 90% of your posts regarding them are blatantly negative.

Basically this. I know regardless they're gonna get shit but before we've even heard the song, that's ridiculous.

We'll see how it goes. I'm expecting DM rehash pt 2. I think they're past the point of surprising us any more. They're settled into their rut.

In my opinion, the rut somewhat began on the black album and has continued to the present. DM was at least throwing a bone to those whom never acquired the taste of the Loads or SA.

Only if you mistake "rut" for "music I don't like". That was actually the period where they mixed it up the most.
RTL/MOP/AJFA were all very samey, as good as they were. They really needed to break it up at that point, and TBA did that very successfully. Then they threw a curveball with Load and Reload instead of just making TBA pt 2. Then they did an orchestral live album. They were still doing what they wanted at that point, and doing unexpected things. And then they did SA, which while it sucked, was still starkly different in many ways.

DM was the first time they stopped progressing as a band and basically became a nostalgia act. DM was throwing a bone to the stubborn thrash fans who won't accept anything that isn't mindlessly thrashing an E string at 200bpm. And DM proved that that is literally all those fans wanted, because that album wasn't even worthy of tying TBA's shoes.

Found a small clip of it.  Sounds promising but I'm sure some of you will find something to nitpick at it that makes it look unsatisfying to you.

I can't judge a song from that short a clip, especially with no chorus or vocal sections at all, but I liked what I heard. It sounded more neutral/natural in style for Metallica, and not forced.

Christ dude. We get it. You're incapable of accepting that some people didn't like tba/Loads for what they were, not just because they were shit albums in some folks' opinions so you insist on being a generalizing, condescending snob toward them even though many of us don't even have thrash in our top five favorite genres.

As for mixing it up? Any significant change is mixing it up. It still was way simplistic, bland, and mediocre to many of us. I can't change the fact that those three (two, really) albums came out but if some people liked them then I'm glad someone got something out of 'em.

Basically DM provides for many of us the much-needed relief from Load-SA that tba provided for you from the golden three though you probably like the golden three a lot more than the Load-SA dissentors liked that era yet instead of realizing that both sides of this argument have similar gripes, you act like there's some kind of objective basis for your viewpoint and that the others are some Exodus shirt-wearing neanderthals.

In other news...

I'm digging what I hear in that clip. It's far too early to give a solid opinion, not to mention from a 15 second clip, but not bad.

That was a good quality recording.

The song definitely had potential. It was a bit bloated in the intro riffing, and the vocal melodies were back to very simplistic, but it had some really good riffing, and the instrumental section sounded very AJFA to me, with the guitar harmonies followed by the solo.
And I was impressed with their performance. Lars was downright solid, so the riffing was super tight, Hetfield was sounding good, and Hammett's soloing was ok too.

It sounds like the album might be going in the right direction. But what is a lord of summer? That doesn't sound very threatening or metal. It sounds like someone's about to throw a beach party.

Actually pretty decent.

Everyone seemed to be on top form especially Lars who was SOL-ID.


James sounded strong too. The high notes were powerful and he didn't sound like his voice would go at any second . He really has been getting help.

Looking forward to hearing the soundboard in a few days.


--And yes - i'd rather listen to Load than Death Magnetic too.

:iagree:  I'll give that a thumbs up -- definitely heading in the right direction there.  :tup They often take a new song idea and then carve it into a couple other pieces or whittle it down by the time it makes it to a CD, so I'm sure there will be more refinements.  I'm pleased.

My theory is that it could be a plea for the Gods to bring the "summer" of your life...i.e to move on from the "winter".

A plea to get out of a bad patch of your life ?

But then again it could be just a song about touring as they usually tour spring / summer time.

On their Facebook post Metallica refer to the song as "a brand new song title (for now) "The Lords of Summer." "  So we'll see if the name sticks....

Yeah and this is *already* fuck loads better than Death Is Not The End. It doesn't sound so pieced together. It is long but it flows and you don't really notice it's 8 minutes long -

- whereas DINTE was just *long*. - So glad they chopped it up and made two better songs out of it. And really glad they ditched "Vulturus" altogether ! ;D

Lords of Winter could have worked, but seasons just aren't otherwise threatening. They should call it Lords of Time, and make it about Doctor Who!
