Thank you for running it! Master is a very good choice as champion  :metal pity I couldn't get Creeping Death on the podium however!

I'll give it my try, a "DTF Metallica finalists concert":

Blackened

The Unforgiven II
All Nightmare Long
...And Justice For All
Until it Sleeps

I use my sig to pimp some bands from Italy! Check out Elvenking (Power / Folk metal), Folkstone (Rock / Medieval metal), Arcana Opera (Gothic/Noir/Heavy metal) and the beautiful voice of Elisa!

The Unforgiven
The Unforgiven II

Well, if they play those two one after the other, the audience will expect the third part... which is the best of them btw.. ;)

They should do a medley, starting part II after two verses of the first, or something like that. And ending up with the last chapter.

I'm glad that there's someone else who likes III the most.

But that takes away the first song's solo which is one of Kirk's best.

Then you'll definitively not like the medley I've done of the three songs the last time I did a Metallica compilation for my mp3 player:

- Only first verse and chorus of the original
- Two verses and choruses of the second mixing it with the end of the song
- Out of the ending comes the last part of the third one, the final chorus only.

Thanks for running the survivor, The Count.  :tup

So later today I am gonna start up a Hardwired...To Self Destruct survivor just for fun. I figured with the album out for a month today, people have had the time to digest it and can fairly judge what they like and don't like. The new version of Lords of Summer will be included making it a 12 round survivor with 13 songs.

Hi, I will probably dig out that thread from the lungs of hell, but I was wondering are You going to run Metallica Survivor in 2017? Because if for some reasons You cannot, I can do it with honor and pleasure :) Please don't be offended with my question that I want to take Your place or sth like that ;) I just like DTF survivors :)

I didn't participate in the Hardwired's survivor because I was still listening and processing the album back then and didn't want to be influenced by these results, as small as could've been the impact of them on me anyways..

Now, this bump is actually making me see that the only one song that is my clear favorite from the album was the actual winner of the survivor.. So wow to that.. Song is too obscure and yet so damn great, weird in a good way and melodically epic just like everything I happen to adore from the Metallica's songs I like the most..

Also, I think it's safe to say that HtSD is their finest work to date, right behind DM.. :metal

I was actually thinking about doing it again starting in September. If there's enough people interested in participating again, I'll happily run it again. Now that I've actually run a full survivor and learned how it should be done, I feel like this one could be done better. Also, while I did run a HtSD survivor, I would love to see how the album fairs against the rest of their discography and how the new songs do in the full survivor.

There's a Metallica podcast that started up earlier in the year, "Metal Up Your Podcast", that's been pretty cool.  They've done album by album breakdowns, Top 10 Song lists, etc.  The two hosts are touring musicians.  So, they have a little different insight than your typical fans.

I'd be down for a Survivor.

I've been listening to that podcast, pretty good stuff.
