All things Metallica

Naw, the metallica tongue is going down......totally different.

I thought this was pretty funny...

They can't understand what James is saying???

I'd love to see their reaction to a black metal video, then

Nice video. Watching it, i feel so old. Metal was so popular back when i was a kid.

Pffft. These kids are posers. I just bought my 9 year old son a Ride the Lightning CD at Goodwill so he'd quit stealing my copy.

That kid that guessed "the Rolling Stones or something" is just asking for a wedgie.

With Newsted saying he's been in talks with Metallica and working on a project with them it makes me wonder if he's going to re-record the bass for AJFA.

That would please the Sentinel.

Why would he re-record it? They could just, you know, get the old tapes and turn it up. Haha.

But I hope not. That album sounds killer the way it is. They can only make it worse by f*cking with it.

So it looks like Metallica has changed-up the track listing for the deluxe versions of the new album. The bonus disc will have previously released covers and live material. Gone are the "Riff Origins", whatever they were.

That's a little better although I'm not too keen on live versions.

Yea, and I already have the Dio and Purple cover tunes.

Now those I don't have. But I'm not even sure I'd be willing to put out the extra change just for a couple of cover tunes. Unless I can get it at a decent price, of course.

The 3rd bonus cd sounds interesting. Worth having.

I would rather have the Riff Origins version, which I assume were demos. I don't need any more live tracks (aka reminders that James is f*cking terrible live now).

I don't have any of those cover tunes, though I've listened to the Dio medley a ton. And I love Lords of Summer, as mentioned...more into this version of the bonus disc.

I was most likely gonna buy the standard 2-disc version anyway without all the bonus crap so they can change up that 3rd disc as many times as they want, it makes no diff to me. (shrugs)

I can't imagine those Riff Origins tracks getting much repeated listening from me though. I'd play 'em through one time and that's it. The live/cover stuff stands a better chance at repeat plays.

I agree, but they'd be more interesting to me, I guess. I usually skip most live tracks when they come one unless they're the kind of band that reinterprets the songs when playing live. Rock and metal bands don't tend to do that, though.

I'm not sure which one makes me hit the skip button faster, live tracks or demos. It's a bit of a toss up.

I don't imagine it will be the case with a 2016 Metallica album, but some times raw demos are better than the final product.

But either way, at least these demos, rehashed covers and live tracks aren't being tacked onto the proper album. That's always annoying.

I imagine that riff origins would be stuff like this



ie rejected songs where there was a riff/solo/section that was rescued and plonked haphazard into another song. Metallica seem to write this way a lot which is part of their problem these days

That 3rd disc is definitely interesting to me. I am a sucker for Live/ demo/ cover stuff.

'Nother new tune...'Moth Into Flame'



Not bad.

It's okay I guess. The vocals are irritating.
