Music: 40 years of Metallica

[beowulf]

The band has been rocking it for 4 decades now! They are having celebratory shows at home in San Francisco tonight and on the 19th.

When Metallica became global superstars

Some fun pictures from the period that they jumped into world super stars, can't believe the black album has now sold over 30M copies.

[Live in the Now]

Anyway, that was a great set and I’m glad I made it up here. Everything was conspiring to stop me from making it here on time too.

I was there last night, it was a blast. Hearing Trapped Under Ice, Shortest Straw, Breadfan and the debut of Fixxxer was incredible. Can't wait for tomorrow.

 

[Hammettf2b]

Hoping they play Astronomy tonight

 

[Live in the Now]

Tonight’s set already went way out there.

 

[Live in the Now]

Holy shit they did a full cover of am I evil. Nothing topping that

 

[Hammettf2b]

No Astronomy but this set is killer

 

[Hammettf2b]

Bleeding Me!!!!!!!!!!!!

I went for a smoke break during Sandman haha

 

[Live in the Now]

I went to the show tonight too but I think I’m gonna pay later for this one. My voice is dead.

I used The Unforgiven for a bathroom break

I personally preferred the set from night one, but The End of the Line, Dirty Window, Am I Evil in full, Bleeding Me and Wasting My Hate were nice surprises. I got a total of 6 songs I had never seen live before over the weekend.

Trapped Under Ice
Shortest Straw
Fixxxer
Breadfan
Dirty Window
Bleeding Me

You should. I personally have liked all the albums after TBA, but I have noticed a lot of people who hated the later stuff are starting to come around now that the shock of them not just doing thrash wore off. People are even starting to warm up to St. Anger, partly due to how good the songs sound live.

A few songs to check out: Ain't My Bitch, The House Jack Built, Bleeding Me, The Outlaw Torn, Where The Wild Things Are, Fixxxer, Low Man's Lyric, That Was Just Your Life, All Nightmare Long, Cyanide, Hardwired, Moth Into Flame, Spit Out The Bone

Honestly, if St Anger didnt have the trash can drums it would've been so well recieved. Those are some aggressive straight ahead songs, but the drum sound ruins them.

Like you said, just go watch live versions of St Anger or Frantic to hear how good they really are.

 

[Jovavic]

Big fan of St. Anger since it came out, f*** the haters...except for the drums, they sound horrible.

Please tell me you don't believe this....

Please tell me you don't believe this....

It's a parody of the fact that they actually did sue their own fans over royalties.

Some of us were of an age at the time that you never forget or forgive that sort of thing. Metal band lawyering up and suing schoolkids, they can go get ****ed.
