Sum 41 - Metallica Medley¨

I know I know, "why on earth should I click on this link?" you're thinking but I must say it's sounds killer honestly!

Phoenix87x · « **Reply #596 on:** July 31, 2019, 12:37:38 PM »

They actually did a decent job with the covers. Sounds good to me

cramx3 · « **Reply #597 on:** July 31, 2019, 12:44:41 PM »

Is it a medley if its only two songs? I've never got into Sum 41 but always respected their metal roots in pop punk music. That was cool. I wish they played the Disrupt festival by me over the summer so I could have seen them for once and get a better idea if I'd like them.

I think the technical musical term when it is only 2 songs is "mashup."

Adami · « **Reply #599 on:** July 31, 2019, 01:32:54 PM »

That was awful. It felt like a "medley" only for people who don't know Metallica beyond the top hit songs and nothing else.

I actually dig Sum 41 and I know they love Metallica, but that was just really lazy, sorry.

I'm not a fan of Sum 41 and I thought they did a great job. It wasn't a well constructed medley, but the playing was on point.

Sure. They technically played some Metallica riffs correctly. I guess I just don't like note for note covers. It felt like a weak recreation with punk vocals. Just didn't do it for me. Old Metallica is about aggression and energy. If there's no aggression or energy, then you just guys playing the riffs and that's it. That's not impressive to me. I can search youtube for 600 people accurately playing For Whom the Bell Tolls or Master of Puppets note for note.

I've also already seen them do it better at Metallica Icon.

Yea it wasn't -bad-

But it was way too... emotionless?

Three songs.

It was ok, but I agree that "medley" isn't the right term. Also, shouldn't be doing Bell if the bass player doesn't have a wah pedal, and Sandman gets worse every time I hear it.

TONIGHT IS THE NIGHT!!!! On this very night 30 years ago (and the night following) I attended the two Metallica shows that were filmed for the Live Binge and Purge set. I only own it on VHS (acquired 2nd hand and barely used just a few years ago) and I've NEVER watched it. Well.....tonight, that changes.

Must be the Seattle show. That is a classic. I loved it so much that I ripped the audio off of the VHS and then the DVD when I upgraded so I could listen to it whenever. Just an awesome performance.

Is that tonight?

Hoping the set list isn’t 90% the same as last time.

Either way, looking forward to seeing it in theaters next month.

Yeah, bout that...

Set I
The Ecstasy of Gold (Ennio Morricone cover) (Performed by the San Francisco Symphony)
The Call of Ktulu
For Whom the Bell Tolls
The Day That Never Comes
The Memory Remains
Confusion
Moth Into Flame
The Outlaw Torn
No Leaf Clover
Halo on Fire

Set II
Scythian Suite, Op.20 , Second Movement (Sergei Sergeyevich Prokofiev cover) (live debut)
Iron Foundry (Alexander Mosolov cover) (live debut)
The Unforgiven III
All Within My Hands
(Anesthesia) Pulling Teeth
Wherever I May Roam
One
Master of Puppets
Nothing Else Matters
Enter Sandman

I'm a bit dissappointed since I thought the entire setlist would be songs that hadn't been made on the first S&M (Orion, Fade to Black, Trapped Under Ice, Harvester of Sorrow, Fixxxer, Etc.) but I'm interested in what Anesthesia, AWMH, Unforgiven III and Halo on Fire sound like.

Adami · « **Reply #613 on:** September 06, 2019, 11:10:30 PM »

Yea. Still confused about some of those song choices.

Confusion? Anesthesia? All Within My Hands?

Also, it’s 62% same set if you don’t count the cover songs.

And I agree about not doing Orion, Fade to Black etc. but trapped under ice?

I mean, they did Battery last time, so why not?

Rumor has it that the All Within My Hands song they versioned today is actually the acoustic toned-down version of it, which I'm actually fond of.

The next video to the one you linked is this one with a live version of The Outlaw Torn. It made my day, it's one of my favorite Metallica songs (I'm one of those that love Load). Thank you.

Watched a little bit of some of the bootlegs. Just to get an idea.

Random thoughts

1) The stage set up is cool, looking forward to how that works pro filmed.
2) James is sounding mostly good, but his higher range seems shot. Hopefully it improved for the 2nd show.
3) Still no clue how songs like Confusion will work, but we'll see.
4) Unforgiven III was....actually really cool. As was the acoustic AWMH.
5) Still sad they skipped out on some obvious songs previously mentioned
6) Wondering if they kept all the original arrangements for the same songs or if things changed. Based on what little I saw, they kept mostly the same arrangements. I hope they change the heavy verse in One since I didn't think the orchestra worked too well there.

ariich · « **Reply #617 on:** September 07, 2019, 01:34:02 PM »

Do we know if they're planning the same setlist for night 2? Might get some more variety from a slightly different set.

Anguyen92 · « **Reply #618 on:** September 07, 2019, 02:06:12 PM »

^^ I highly doubt it. I've checked the two setlists from the first S&M and there were no changes. With Metallica, you would think if they do a two night stay at the same venue, they would throw a few changeups, but that might be hard with an orchestra in the fold.

Ruba · « **Reply #619 on:** September 08, 2019, 01:22:29 AM »

I feel Metallica today rotates setlists more than 20 years ago, so I don't think it's impossible they'll play some other songs tonight.

I actually think the setlist was cool, love the fact that all of their albums were represented and it's interesting they played some classical pieces. I see the film is being shown in my local movie theater, I'll probably buy a ticket.

I thought for the original S&M show they kept the same setlist as well?

Yep. That was indeed the case.

DTA · « **Reply #624 on:** September 09, 2019, 03:21:11 PM »

These shows should've included the live debut of Fixxxer. Really feel like they missed an opportunity to finally play what I believe is a fan favorite.

It would be so great if they'd segue the end of The Outlaw Torn into Fixxxer.

I don't know why they wouldn't play it live, obviously they'd have to re-arrange the intro a bit or alternatively play it from tape (I think they do that with Wherever I May Roam) but that's doable. Maybe they just don't like it that much or think that fans don't want to hear more than one Load/ReLoad song per show. $:-\$

fadetoblackdude7 · « **Reply #626 on:** September 10, 2019, 11:34:03 AM »

I’d love to hear Fixxxer live. But Halo on Fire should be epic!

Adami · « **Reply #627 on:** September 10, 2019, 12:11:01 PM »

I checked out a bootleg of Confusion from the show, since it’s not a song I dig much. Orchestra made it SO much better.

When they posted the April Fools setlist on Instagram, it said "Fixxxer tape" before the song, so that's probably how they would pull it off. I remember Kirk said he was rehearsing Fixxxer in preparation for the "by request" tour, but unfortunately it didn't get enough votes anywhere. Still, I have a feeling (or at least hope) they'll play it someday.

A lot of the boots I've seen are really cool. Definitely a few hiccups here and there they will have to fix in post, but overall, I'm really excited to see the pro-shot release of this.

This thing is scheduled to play in theaters across the country on Oct. 9th. That means they have less than a month for all the audio and video production, that's pretty quick.
