You were both wrong, they both stink.

You even had an album ?

Does this excuse me buying this when I was 13 ?

One of these days, I'll tell you how I didn't get my Kill'Em All and Ride The Lightning vinyls signed by the band in 1985 and got a ****ing W.A.S.P. album signed instead

Lol, I would live to hear this story

Weird - the hotlink appears fine in whichever browser I use. Oh well, no matter.

And now, here it is on page 3 for those who keep the default 25 post page settings:

I just love Creeping death, it's probably the best live song you can hear.

Did you hear the performance of Creeping Death the put on at the Fillmore, for their 30th anniversary concerts? OMFG! Newstead was back, and he left it all on the stage.

 

[mrmovies779]

Just about the best cover ever. (it's a medley). So heavy.

Love that song,and this video I saw few days ago-epic!

So who is shelling out the $400+ for the huge set of 27 live albums they are putting out?

I already have so many live stuff from them as it is. Although there is one thing I want to hear that I don't know if its out there. It's always bugged me that Kirk doesn't play the harmonic in the Unforgiven solo for some reason. It's what I listen for every time I hear a different version of this song live. Anyone heard a version of this song with the harmonic before?

inb4 "because he sucks and can't play it live"

I love Robert and I truly think he's a better bass player than Jason, but just having him screaming Die!... I wish Robert could backvocal like that.

Well in theory this set of live albums should have a bunch of songs many of us have never heard or not in a long time as they are from the By Request tour if I recall.

 

[Sentinel]

A superb group of songwriters. The only album from them I don't love (I.e. ****ing hate) is St. Anger (and that Lulu abomination). Everything else is good to stellar.

Do you mean the the few artificial harmonics (aka squealies) he does near the beginning of it? Maybe Zakk Wylde has turned Kirk off them forever.

Those would be the ones. Have yet to hear it live from Kirk.

 

[zombie kopitar]

"only their first 4 albums were good"

yup

I hate Metallica for killing Napster

I hate the attitude Lars had towards the fans, the principle was right. But he just alienated the situation. Lars man, I think he was actually an amazing drummer for the first 4 albums, but his trashy loud ass playing was the biggest down fall of the band, ruined Death Magnetic which was otherwise a turn back where they should've been the whole time.

I do love those first 4 though, and S&M!


But Kirk was a big inspiration for me earlier on, I was really discouraged I was starting guitar/music too late @ 15, but then read that's when he started. Fade to Black was the first song I tried to learn every note on guitar \m/

 

[TNT87]

My top two favorite albums from them are ...And Justice For All with "Harvester of Sorrow" being my favorite song on that album and "Master of Puppets".

I got to see them once live over 20 years ago and I definitely would like to see them again.

Are you talking about the notes here at 3:53? If so, those would have been pinch harmonics which are the ol' Zakk specialty.

FWIW if it was not known: artificials are done by feathering the string on the fret hand and plucking, and pinches are the opposite (fret the string and pluck+feather w/your pick hand)

 

[Hivemind]

First two albums are among the greatest of all time
Next three are mediocre. Some good tracks, a lot of boring ones.
Everything afterwards should be ignored.

Not exactly. Pinch harmonics(And all..) are artificial harmonics. Natural harmonics are the word you are looking for in the sense that you don't fret with your left hand, just feather.

FWIW I *love* Lars' drumming (other than those trash cans on St. Anger). I think he is very unique, versatile, and just TASTY. Love it!

Exactly the part I'm talking about

He's inconsistent though, sometimes he blows you away and other times he just keeps that 80's hair metal tempo.
