On the Metallica forum - someone said that Met On Tour would probably celebrate the debut of Frayed by showing us Sandman from the show.

Met On Tour replied " We should ".

Then they did :lol

So I was watching Creeping Death from Cunning Stunts (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-rrzdyeDC0) and it occurred to me that there is more time between now and Cunning Stunts than there is between Cunning Stunts and the release of Creeping Death.

This is completely off topic but -

- someone pointed out that next year is 30 years since Back To The Future and 1985 was 30 years since 1955.

The point being that 1955 is way more different to 1985 than 1985 is to now.

^^ Wow.  That's spooky.

As for the Glastonbury stream, I've been trying for a while to get the stream to run properly and I finally got it done.  Now I can wait 30 min. before Metallica.

Very interesting and good intro video in light of the whole some people wanted Metallica out of Glastonbury due to James' thing on hunting on the History Channel (I think).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?list=UUbulh9WdLtEXiooRcYK7SWw&v=L3BSjV0IkWU

Start it at around 1:30.  Before that time is their standard intro video.

I still maintain that mid 90s Metallica was the best Metallica. You got the great songs off of Load/Re-Load plus the band still kicking ass on their old shit (as evidenced by the Creeping Death video). James really came into his voice at that time and I really like the bluesier shit Kirk was into, Lars could still play, and Jason provided a shitload of energy and awesome backing vox.

The Black Album tour was awesome in a multitude of ways. They pretty much turned over and died as soon as Load happened though. It's not bad music per se, but it's sure as shit not Metallica.

And seeing what they are now...god. They really should have just hung it up after that tour. It's really only gone downhill with maybe a few brief ascents before promptly descending even further.

Because obviously the same people taking objection to James' support of hunting are those lobbying parliament for the ban on fox hunting to be lifted so they can saddle up with their fellow upper class chums and satisfy their lust for vulpine blood?  :justjen

I'm not sure what mark they were trying to hit with that, but I think it was an ill judged one.

All the little Tarquins and Penelopes going to Glastonbury on Daddy's money to celebrate their graduations didn't want Metallica there - simple as. I mean, Daddy's hasn't paid £3K for a deluxe teepee so they can listen to devil music with the unwashed proles, has he? The hunting thing was just an excuse.

Anyway, I thought Metallica owned it, and made me regret not going to Sonisphere this weekend. I dragged some of the old Metallica CDs out to listen to again and a thought occured to me - those older albums are crying out for decent CD remasters - can anyone think of a bigger selling band that still hasn't had its pre-digital back catalogue remastered? ?

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 had a dream during my 16-hour sleep last night that James could sing about 75% as well as his black album tour self. Weirdly/awesomely enough, he was sporting his 80s hair length but regular and straight in texture, not Suzanne Somers in Three's Company style.

Does anyone think that St. Anger has a sound and style that is pretty similar to Korn's debut S/T album? For this I find it kinda interesting that Korn's vocalist, Johnathan something, has said he thinks St. Anger is horrible.

Except Korn's debut is good, has much better sounding drums, and is not really anything like SA at all.

Just listening to Reload, and realizing what I don't like about it (and Load): they try to be heavy and they're not, they try to be emotional and they are not.  They just sound watered-down and forced.

Load/Reload also suffers from bad recording I think.  The sound is not as rich as on The Black Album, especially the vocals.  Also, James sounds like he's singing both heavy songs and ballads in the same voice, where on songs like Unforgiven, there's a clear difference in tone and feeling.

I think Load definitely has some of their most emotional songs. James' vocals are overall much more emotional than his older approach. It doesn't try to be thrash metal heavy, it aims to be a heavy rock sound, and it succeeds. As my pal Kotowboy said, it sounds much less forced than DM.
And imo it has their best production along with TBA. The albums before were cheaper recordings with some obvious issues, and the studio albums since have sounded notoriously bad.

Regardless of what people think of the music, the '90s was a good decade for production for Metallica.
Now that Metallica owns their recordings, I'd love to see the '80s albums get good remasters, and remixes where needed, as long as they don't mess up the mastering. I love AJFA, but I can't listen to it anymore due to the wonky mix. Having that album with bass guitar would be like a whole new album experience for me.

I was having that really tired argument with someone on twitter last night. You know the one.

" Bob Rock ruined Metallica ! He made them go commercial ! "

 ::) That's why the demoes for the Black Album existed pretty much as they appear on the finished album BEFORE Bob Rock came on board

AND

Bob Rock said in an interview that he wasn't allowed to suggest arrangement ideas - he could only suggest tempos

AND

It's f---ing Hetfield and Ulrich. Does anyone really think that anything happens in Metallica without their consent ? If so - you don't know how much they control the band.

Same with St. Anger. Some people actually think the production was 100% Bob's "fault" and James and Lars just stood silent in a corner shuffling their feet going

" Yes Bob. No Bob. :emo: "

AND

They heard the Motley Crue album Bob produced and said " we want it to sound like that ".
