Even though I like those two albums, I do agree that there are songs on both albums that just aren't very good. I always listen to them combined in a play list with the songs that I don't like taken out. But I really love that play list!

I remember when I got into Metallica as an angsty teenager, the fact that they changed on Load and Reload was something very negative because they abandoned their 'metal roots' but I think the reason those albums have aged pretty decent for me is that looking through it with adult eyes, I definitely respect the passion and desire to branch out and try new things. If anything I think the albums like St. Anger and Death Magnetic (one definitely worse than the other) were a lot worse as attempts of 'making what the fans want' and just kinda falling flat. The latest album was pretty solid but I don't think Metallica has really written a BANGER of a song since the late 90s with Load/Reload probably.

Unforgiven II is one of the best songs they’ve ever written. Sue me.

My combined Load/Reload playlist is 5 songs.

Sue you? I'll defend you in tribunal from those who will!

For me, it's easily the best of (the?) The Unforgivens.

MirrorMask · « **Reply #742 on:** March 27, 2020, 02:12:30 AM »

Well, not "easily", the Black Album one is a masterpiece, but yeah, I'd slightly favor the ReLoad one a tiny little bit over the original.

Nice idea!

Here are mine, in random order.

The House Jack Built
Until It Sleeps
King Nothing
Hero of the Day
Mama Said
Ronnie (criminally underrated)
The Unforgiven II (the best of the The Unforgivens)
Low Man's Lyric (so different, so brilliant)
The Outlaw Torn
Bleeding Me

Northern Lion · « **Reply #744 on:** March 27, 2020, 10:50:25 PM »

I'll bite. Here's mine.

2x4
Until it Sleeps
King Nothing
Bleeding Me
The Outlaw Torn
Devil's Dance
The Unforgiven II
Where the Wild Things Are
Low Man's Lyric
Fixxxer

That's my 10 if I had to do it, but my play list also includes:

The House that Jack Built
Hero of the Day
Slither
Mama Said
Attitude
Carpe Diem Baby
Fuel
The Memory Remains

Narrowing it down to 10 was pretty hard for me.

Right. I think the original is probably, pound for pound, the better song but I listen to Unforgiven II more.

TAC · « **Reply #746 on:** March 28, 2020, 05:56:56 PM »

1. Ain't My Bitch
2. Fuel
3. Bleeding Me
4. Wasting My Hate
5. The Outlaw Torn

That's it.

Fuel
2 X 4
Devil’s Dance
Until It Sleeps
The Unforgiven II
Carpe Diem Baby
The Outlaw Torn
Bleeding Me
Where The Wild Things Are
Fixxxer

Man that was hard.

Xanthul · « **Reply #748 on:** March 31, 2020, 03:48:30 AM »

The House Jack Built
Until It Sleeps
Hero of the Day
Bleeding Me
The Thorn Within
Ronnie
The Outlaw Torn
The Memory Remains
Prince Charming
Fixxxer

Damn that was hard... I like all of Load (it's one of my favorite albums ever) and about half of Reload... I could easily make this list 20+ songs.

Mladen · « **Reply #749 on:** March 31, 2020, 04:39:09 AM »

I prefer Reload over Load, but I find both rather average. If I could make them into a solid single album, it would look something like this:

1. Ain't my bitch
2. The Memory remains
3. Until it sleeps
4. King nothing
5. The Unforgiven II
6. Hero of the day
7. Prince charming
8. Low man's lyric

It's short. But it's good.

Ain't My Bitch
King Nothing
Outlaw

That Monday Metallica concert for this week Paris September 8, 2017...the duo of Seek and Destroy, Leper Messiah is ultra high energy! God damn, the old boys can still rock.

Adami · « **Reply #752 on:** April 27, 2020, 02:18:34 PM »

Tonight's concert is from 1991!

Super excited for that!

I'm watching! Brings back memories!

Last week's show (Germany from May 2015) was pretty great aside from James's vocals on Metal Militia. Looking forward to an earlier era show though

Adami · « **Reply #757 on:** April 27, 2020, 07:19:18 PM »

Very limited and crappy camera work. Very meh mix.

That said....

That's part of the charm. They allowed bootlegging on this tour. Man, I spent many hours watching shows from this tour.

I love the mix, actually. You can hear the bass clearly.

Adami · « **Reply #759 on:** April 27, 2020, 07:33:26 PM »

Oh yea. There’s immense Newstead going on. But James’ guitar is almost inaudible. Beyond that, mix is fine. I agree.

Yeah, that's true. James is low in the mix, but honestly I'm happy to hear Jason and Kirk. Kirk's solo on Unforgiven was awesome.

Fade To Black....so good.

Whiplash

EDIT: they are way out of sync on audio/video.

MirrorMask · « **Reply #762 on:** April 28, 2020, 04:55:42 AM »

My contribution to the discussion is that tonight I dream that James Hetfield was walking around the town with a guitar and me and a bunch of other guys were following him singing along to his riffs.

For the record, he was playing Seek & Destroy, and then he started the Symptom of the Universe riff. Which, him being a Sabbath fan, I believe he can actually play.

I think you just storyboarded the next Metallica video (either that or your subconscious took some 80s video and mixed it with Seek & Destroy).

MirrorMask · « **Reply #764 on:** April 28, 2020, 12:05:52 PM »

As far as I remember, he was the black album era James, all dressed in black, his guitar was black also. He passed by me alone, so I thought he was there for me, but then eventually other guys tagged along. I mean, who wouldn't want to sing Seek & Destory when Metallica's guitarist and singer is actually walking around playing it?

I so very much want to see that video!!

In other news, we might possibly be getting a new album soon. Maybe

Not sure how you got soon from that. He couldn't have been more all over the map.

425 · « **Reply #768 on:** April 28, 2020, 08:08:46 PM »

Even if they put a serious effort into writing during this period, which is a big if, I wouldn't expect anything soon. They are just very slow songwriters, and have been since the millennium.

TAC · « **Reply #769 on:** April 28, 2020, 08:10:26 PM »

It's weird but they are a band that pretty much does everything right, but the lack of material is a huge negative for me. I'm not sure how to reconcile it.
