Kerrang! Legends METALLICA Issue!

[Mark]

Fucking awesome! Basically the same as they did for Maiden, with new interviews, great photos from the last 20 years, and plenty more. Pity it cost £5 (about $12!!), but considering I spend £1.90 on weekly Kerrang and finish it in about 30 mins, and this issue I've spent an hour on so far and barely touched, methinks I'm getting my money's worth!

And I have most of St Anger on minidisc at work today, too

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Sounds like someone likes the new Metallica as much as me.

I wish we had British Kerrang!

No, you don't. Really you don't.

13 years ago maybe, but not now.

I'd be happy with just the specials (as I'd probably only buy the Maiden one anyway)

 

[Sydo]

Ok, so I've finally bought St Anger.
$20 at Target this week. In my opinion, I bought a Metallica DVD and got a free demo album.

My thoughts;
The album sounds as bad as everyone has says. Demo/bootleg quality at best. James vocals are pretty average in places too. I'd be surprised if they bothered recording them more than once.
All that being said however, the songs ain't bad.
The 'tic tic tic' crap in Frantic is silly, but I'll get over it.
St Anger flows better than the film clip version.

I'm pretty happy.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

I think the vocals are great, and I like the way they have intentionally made his voice crack on occasion, it fits the vibe of the album. Oh well, each to his own.

"There was really no time to get amazing performances out of [METALLICA frontman] James [Hetfield]," Rock said. "We liked the raw performances. And we didn't do what everyone does and what I've been guilty of for a long time, which is tuning vocals. We just did it, boom, and that was it."

So Hetfields vocals are usually artificially tuned?

 

[The Amazer]

hmmmm, I think they were just pushed a lot more with this record to try and get the nicest sounding 'crack' vocals

Funny quote from amazon.com

30 people recommended ...Baby One More Time [ENHANCED CD] instead of St. Anger (with Bonus DVD) [EXPLICIT LYRICS]

 

[Celestial-Todd]

You'd be lucky to find a band that don't autotune the vocals these days!

 

[Goreripper]

Kerrang! is shit. When I was reading it in high school it was about metal of all colours. Now it's just full of crap rock bands with piercings and tattoos. Crap, crap, crap.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

When I used to read alot of mags a few years back I used to much prefer Metal Hammer.

 

[Winmar]

The only ones I ever read were Hot Metal, and Metal Hammer when I was living in England.

 

[Spiff]

Never much cared for Metal Hammer. I liked Kerrang! way back when and that's about it.
