Metallica

[SLAYER85]

Metallica may suck nowadays in making music but has anyone heard or have a personal testimonial to the fact that metallica can or cannot still deliver the goods live? lets hear it,

 

[Tavaron]

I've heard they have a fuckin great live show. Only 3 or 4 Post-TBA songs.

 

[Psychonaut]

I've seen them three times but not lately. They do put on a great show.

 

[SymbolicDeath666]

They put on a fucking great show live. I love this band no matter what anyone has to say.

 

[plfffffft]

I went to Summer Sanitarium, and Metallica completely made up for the hours and hours of shit I had to go through. They played some killer stuff. As far as I can remember, here's the setlist, hopefully ion order, or close to it:

Battery(Opener, Including the acoustic intro)
Master of Puppets
Harvester of Sorrow
Welcome Home(Sanitarium)
Sad But True
Frantic
Stanger
For Whom the Bell Tolls(with the huge video screens switching between Rob playing the intro and a video of Cliff playing it)
Seek and Destroy
No Remorse
Blackened

Fuel
Nothing Else Matters
Creeping Death

One
Enter Sandman

man, i wish the amount of old school they dig up would inspire them to make some more old school records.

Does James still sing "Yeah" and "Ooh Baby" all the time live? I saw that Cunning Stunts DVD and it was fucking shit - his singing was terrible, like a lounge singer, crooning the words to Master Of Puppets.

I saw the Rock AM Ring live stuff on TV as well and Kirk couldn't even play the solos.
Sorry, you won't hear a good word about Metallica these days from me - I can't believe how bad they've become.

 

[artificialreasons]

they totally suprised me live at summer sanitarium, they were so perfect. the setlist was almost entirely made up of pre load material as a huge bonus.

 

[Prowler121]

I'd be willing to forget that Metallica has made 3 terrible albums and that Lars ever opened his mouth post 1991 if they just release another album of the same calibre of their 80s music. I'm not saying it would have to sound like their 80s music, just have the same level of quality.

Another great Metallica album would be a godsend.

 

[Stormwatch]

It ain't gonna happen. The band that created Justice is dead.

 

[Benzine]

I saw them this year and it was the best live gig i have ever seen! Frikkin' awesome

Good description! And don't you just hate the extremely foolish, "macho" faces they make while facing the crowd? The DVD hits rock bottom at the "Bass/Guitar Doodle" - just look at the monkey that is Jason Newsted! Or check out Lars in his macho boxer shorts! Terrible stuff.

 

[None_So_Vile]

surely metallica would realise and notice the reaction their old thrash stuff gets compared to all the new, crappy stuff and change their ways? but nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[speed]

DId Trujillo play as well as Burton? Hes got the talent.

 

[Stormwatch]

Yes, but James and Lars have the talent to write ...And Justice For All and yet they gave us St Anger.

 

[baldyboy]

great point,well put.that band were my life for about 3 years 86-89.hardly listened to anything else and saw em live half a dozen times.listening to st anger makes me wanna cry.damn i shouldnt drink gin and post on the net.

 

[Eire]

I saw them this year and all I can say is that James' voice has gone to shit. Its gotten worn and you can really tell when listening to the new stuff. They still do a decent enough live show, but the only disappointment in Ireland was that they never played Whiskey in the Jar.

does kirk even still play the old solos or has he forgotten how to play.

 

[Stormwatch]

I only saw them on TV, at that Rock Am Ring live show - and Kirk was terrible. I don't know if it was his amp, or the mixing desk or if it really was just him - but his solos were terrible, he missed most of the notes. It was strange actually, considering how so many people think he's the best guitar player in the world, to see him not able to play his own solos anymore.

But like I say, it may have just been a bad night soundwise.

 

[Moshpit]

I´ve never seen ´em live (too expensive) but I got a few bootlegs
from this year. It´s strange that they only play their old songs from
their good days and just 2 St. LOL-Songs.
