New Metallica DVD

[cobhc]

Think I'll stick with Binge and Purge + Cunning stunts to remember why I loved these guys so much afew years ago.

I actually really really like Cunning Stunts still, I can't pick much if any fault with it, and I need to dig out my Binge and Purge set and have a watch again.

 

[Nebulous]

Cunning stunts was awsome if only just for it having Jason on Creeping death, and those versions of Fade to black and the Kill/Ride medley.

 

[The Unavoidable]

.
Everything sounds pretty live except for the drums in general, I think they are tweaked to hell at studio.

Which is a good thing, since lars otherwise would have ruined the whole thing with his sloppy ass. Now it at least has a chance of sounding good.

I hate Kirk.
I really do.
He has had all these fucking years to improve his guitar playing and he hasn't gotten any better. Gotten worse in fact.
I have fucking better vibrato than him and I'm hardly an amazing guitarist fuck.

Which is a good thing, since lars otherwise would have ruined the whole thing with his sloppy ass. Now it at least has a chance of sounding good.

Even though the DB stuff seems like it has been messed around with, all the other stuff, his hits, beats, swings, his anal face expressions, all seem pretty there.

The redicilous tom fill improvisations which seemed so out of place in other livemet gigs that i've listened to, seem to work rather okay in this one.


This all doesn't change the fact that their support act Gojira own their asses when it comes to tightness and heavyness in a live set. Duplantier needs to do a fucking guest appearance already.

On the Frayed Ends of Sanity.

From Kirk himself...


"If you look at the side of your hand, right below your pinkie, you'll see there are some wrinkle lines. At least there are on my hand... [laughs] Because of my playing style, I'm constantly hitting the strings and palm muting and, generally, beating up my right hand. Over the course of a tour, those wrinkles start busting open and bleeding. I put tape over the wrinkles so they don't break open and bleed all over my guitar, 'cause if a string gets in there once your hand is cut --wow!--that stings! Plus, it lets me play faster since it reduces drag between my hand and the strings."

Oh.

Makes sense. I will always love Metallica, but honestly, I agree - he has gotten worse over the years - not that I ever thought he was that good to begin with, but.... ah well.

Kicks are too good to be Lars'.
Perhaps it is the same technique as the drummer of Mago De Oz, a spanish "metal" band for teenagers.

Look at this video... minute 1:52

Lars may not be perfect, but I think he brings an energy to the live shows which somewhat makes up for skipping on DB parts and such. If he really can't do it (which I'm sure if he felt like practicing enough, he could), I would rather him do something solid that keeps the groove while he points his drum stick at somebody and snarls. It takes these guys half a decade to put out an album. They obviously have other priorities (like it or not) above re-learning drum techniques.

But I'm not a drummer. It's Kirk that pisses me off. He's just become a series of sloppy bends with a wah attached to his foot. The tragedy in the Load-era wasn't hair being cut off. It was Kirk thinking he's Jimi Hendrix, like a 12 year old with a wah pedal on YouTube thinks he's Jimi Hendrix. He could do 20 years ago drunk what he can't even come close to doing with 20 years more experience and sober.

Tweaked kicks? Are we really complaining about tweaked kicks on this forum? HAHA

CMON GUYS. No one here could possibly listen to such doctored crap...

 

[FirstStrikeIsDeadly]

Has anyone heard this Mission Metallica track which never made it on Death Magnetic?



Sure as hell beats some of the tracks on DM, such as Cyanide, or The Unforgiven 3. The riffage is excellent.

when he hides the foot to do that double bass drumming is hilarious! lol
And it'0s pretty simple stuff, it is not death metal

 

[Chris_P_Critter]

They should have this on the DVD.

"Están listos?" hahaha, he has mexican accent!

BTW FirstStrike, your avatar is awesome. I'm the greatest fan of Rik and Ade.

 

[cobhc]

Yeah the Young Ones avatar is way more interesting than this band at this point...

It's from Bottom, not The Young Ones.
