I heard this earlier... sounds promising, but I want the rest of the fucking song NOW!

 

[Blitzkrieg]

I have been trying to tell everyone that for months now.

Clip sounds cool. For some reason the main riff reminds me of 'Whiplash'. The melodic-ish bit at the end is cool too. Indeed it does sound promising.

In other Metallica news, it is unconfirmed, but a very strong chance, that they will be touring January/Febuary 2004, and possibly headlining the Big Day Out, as well as their own shows.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Oooo, the medley they played with it at the MTV Icon event consisted of the following:

Hit the Lights
Sandman
Blackened
Creeping Death
Battery

I sense an awesome set list coming with the next tour! I would kill to hear stuff like 'Blackened' live.

Yep Lars said again in an interview they were touring Australia in January

 

[Winmar]

Not too bad.....

 

[Spiff]

Coolie. Their Brisbane gig in 1998 is still one of the best I've been to.

 

[Cyclonus]

Wow that is great.

Certainly a bit of groove in it.

 

[phlogiston]

I'm not sure how it will turn out with no solos though....and people have been comparing their new stuff to Meshuggah, whats that about!?
Ahh well, will just have to wait and see I guess, then I will form my own opinion.

I couldn't be bothered doing it myself, so here's a cliche post from an earlier thread.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

 

[Dave_Mustaine84]

i didn't really like it, thought it was average sounding

 

[TinMan666]

that's fucken dreadful man.

apart from the vocals it sounds like a bunch of 14 year olds trying to play death metal.

 

[TRrEiTxIxRiE DTrash]

Reminds me of System Of A Down how it keeps jumping from soft, weird sounding parts into heavy, stop-start type rhythms.

To me it sounds like they are trying to just be as heavy as they can and forgotten about writing catchy songs. Sounds crap.

 

[Weapon X]

Maybe the studio sound might make this song better, way to much distortion, sounded messy.

 

[The Amazer]

I fucking LOVE THAT FRANTIC CLIP ARGH IM SHITTING MY PANTS

edit: I had myself looking like a knob

 

[MeKaChrOme]

I think it sounds pretty ordinary.....

 

[Celestial-Todd]

This just makes me more interested in hearing the real thing... because the sound on this sucks major arse!

Plus, I've heard people complain about the "nu-metal soft bit" at the end... fuck, for all we know they go into a massive blast beat pattern next! ???

 

[spawn]

I like the sound of it Will be much better when we hear the studio version, definitely the most aggressive thing they have done in over a decade

 

[Descend-Lunchbox]

i agree that the studio version will sound better.
but the song sounded like shit. as i said on descend's forum. its like they've said lets stop writing complex riffs/songs. even the tracklist that have been going around the songs name's sound pretty boring.

 

[Winmar]

That's not too hard, Spawny - Kylie Minogue could possibly achieve that!
