The Official Metallica - Death Magnetic Thread

It was okay, but nothing to jump up and down about IMO.


Sounds kind of Black Albumish.

Guys, remember - This is only one song

A lot of albums have some more melodic stuff, but also some bone crushing heavy stuff - Say, just before Ride the Lighting was released, say they played "Escape" at a show..see what I mean?

When I first got Ride The Lightning my favorite song was Fade To Black, even though it was the "ballad". Actually, Escape is the only song on that album that I don't like.

I am not saying it is a bad thing - Fade to black is definitely one of my favourites - even though that album is filled with classics

I quite like "Escape"

The new song was, meh, ok I guess. I'll hold off judgment until I hear the real thing. I still ain't getting my hopes up. I did see that they are going to tour and they'll be playing in Philly in January at my place of work. Yay for me. Free concert!!

The entertainment we get at my work is my tootin ass after eating some Arby's.

That was supposed to be the follow-up to St. Anger. Till Rick Rubin showed up and pointed them in this new direction.

King Diamond with Metallica at Ozzfest

Now if only King Diamond would be asked to play ozzfest once..... This is still pretty cool though. Looks like the King is recovering well.

There's a real soundboard recording. Song sounds way better, you can hear the guitars much better. I really dig it. Again, nothing like the early stuff, but for post-Justice Metallica, this is good stuff. Post-St. Anger, this is amazing stuff. Haha.

Wow, that sounds really good. This album is going to be awesome.

Heres the mp3s of the soundboard stuff, mastered by Spinecraft on the Megadeth forums

Thanks, Chairman.

The King video is awesome, but itd be nice if Metallica could play better.

Here's a short interview where James talk a little about the title:

Of what, Cyanide? There's a pretty damn good recording linked in this thread.

it was the official live version available to buy off their website

i never knew if there was one in the thread i just went out and found it

the mp3s have convinced me to give it a try. It will be the first cd I have bought of theirs since the black album..

Alex

i am only buying the one disc instead of the two disc i only need the music and it better be good

What is on the second cd? This new stuff sounds better than the last several years put together but its still not the first 3 by any stretch.
