what the hell is going on here?
for those who does not appreciate the fore-fathers of heavy metal, you might want to check out the
new forum! and GTFO
iv'e seen metallica live twice over the last year and a half, first time in israel which was a GOOD show but yeah they fucked up quite a lot especially kirk on most clean parts. still worth every penny!
the second time this june at sonisphere UK
and they were fucking amazing! this time they were MUCH better. they didn't fuck up a single note and were fucking TIGHT! they did change some riffs and played a bit different than the album version but that's what i love about LIVE shows, I DID NOT PAY 190 POUNDS TO HEAR THE FUCKING ALBUM, and that's one of the things that makes their show SOOOOO good.
it was definitely the best show iv'e ever been to and probably will till i see them again.
and lars is fucking awesome!
WHY???????????????????????????
because simplicity is ingenious!
iv'e realized he's a genious when someone poited out to me that he does not have a RIDE cymbal in his kit, and have never played one on any of their albums! (haven't checked, but can't recall a song with a ride cymbal)
he keep the song's/show's energy going with SNR+BD+HH (lot's of HH), tom fills, and extra snare hits upon request. that's it!
he knows what he should play at the right time and does not fill every 1/16 note with his fucking legs.
knowing what to play when, and what the listener EXPECTS to hear and WANTS to hear is the ability which makes the Black album play on my mp3 player 20 years after it was released.
and that's the bottom line
(let the shit-storm begin...)
Still listen to the black album and enjoy it and everything before it. But I don't think that four people are capable of being gods (or being without fault whatsoever), they just play musical instruments.
