No Life 'Til Leather-03-Motorbreath

[thedraufganger1983]

Where's the version of whiplash in this list?

[gigihTOMetal]

wow try this listen motorbreath in kill em all version and this version

[fishermangonewild]

@gigihTOMetal lol the kill em all version is fast as fuck

[ViniciusGT4]

Dave is Dave, Kirk is Kirk, and Metallica is not Megadeth. Fuck off.

[MetaI4Brains]

@ViniciusGT4

Good job copying that from the Seek and Destroy video.

[ViniciusGT4]

@MetaI4Brains Thanks.

[Wyndrax]

Dave Mustaine is a fucking genius.

[TheNameIsOZZY]

@Wyndrax why dave on this song? this song is 100 percent james.

[s1r0tt]

@TheNameIsOZZY not the solo i think his comment was directed at the solo lol

[UkrRusSlavic]

@Wyndrax this is james song. so idk why ppl give mustaine credit to this song.

[hxcswagg]

this actually sounds really punk

[pedent1]

@hxcswagg thrash evolved from punk

[Torgeytits]

@pedent1

Not really, it evolved from traditional heavy metal with some hardcore punk elements, but punk is totally wrong.

[pedent1]

@Torgeytits punk rock

[Torgeytits]

@Torgeytits

No, not punk rock.

[HitmanJohn666]

why are you idiots talking about Megafags?

[cowwman99]

FFF. o_o

[DisabledBee]

Is this recorded at the same time?

[ElectricBassAce]

One person must be Seek'd&Destroy'd.

[coleeo23]

@ElectricBassAce two other people were mistaken to be the one

[chucho5381]

@ElectricBassAce now theres 5 ... Kill'Em All !!!

[RustInPeaceEddie]

Wow, Dave sounds awesome on these demos. I have only seen youtube vids of their shows, where he sounds terrible.

Megadeth!!!!!!!!

[narfire214]

@RustInPeaceEddie yeah and it doesn't help that his early guitars got out of tune a lot

[wfcsports]

@RustInPeaceEddie james is singing......

[eagleeye2391]

@wfcsports i think he meant dave's guitar playing...

[Sweet4652]

It's James who's singing, it doesn't even sound like Dave, and whatever anyway!??? And the Metallica vs. Megadeth thing was like 20 years ago! But still I have to say my opinion, and it says: "Metallica is better than Megadeth" But that new Big 4 dvd thing, where they all play Diamond Head's Am I Evil is awesome! And it can't be done without Megadeth!

[TheThrashKing]

It's so raw. Love it! 

[TheLaMoFo]

wasnt ron in at least one of the demos?

[haksimer]

no ma que guitarra tan genial :D

[Spunkalish]

I actually own an original copy of the demo tape (eBayed it, got a bargain) and it reads on the inside:

METALLICA IS:

JAMES HETFIELD - VOCALS, RHYTHM GUITAR

DAVE MUSTAINE - LEAD GUITAR

CLIFF BURTON - BASS

LARS ULRICH - DRUMS

(NOTE: BURTON DOES NOT PLAY ON THIS TAPE)

That should answer any dispute over who does vocals on the tape. It's Hetfield.

[chaclapa]

Fuck you all!

this is James Hetfield singing, back when his voice was fucking epic!

what? you don't like it? then go back to shitty Death Magnetic and Load...

[sorariku2002]

@chaclapa You're no Metallica fan. If you were, you would like every album. Not like those other pussies who hate on all the modern albums. Especially St. Anger.

[wolfman76]

@sorariku2002 well call me a big ole pussy cuz all new metallica SUUUUCKSSSSS just like you do pal.

[sorariku2002]

@wolfman76 Oh so I suck for being a bit more open minded to my favorite band's music than others?

[lolletroo]

@sorariku2002 u know u can be a full blown fan of a band even if you wouldnt like theyr every album and song. i my self like a lot of bands especially metallica and megadeth (and i do think im a big fan of both) but there are songs that i just absolutely hate from both bands. its called expressing your self and it is important especialy in music where the fans make the band.

[jnakl]

@lolletroo Yeah i toltaly agree with you, im also big fan of both bands but there are surten songs and albums i just dont like. im still a huge fan of metallica and Megadeth iven if i dont like Load, reload and st.anger and the megadeth album Risk. i just dont feel it when i isten to em.

[lolletroo]

@jnakl yeah and its extremely important to speak our mind about what we think of the albums cause in the music bisness no matter what band you are the industry always trys to make you different and its important that we the fans keep the music like it should be

[iBiomega]

Don't like Mustaine in vocals ._.

It's my opinion, but James have more life (at least comparing this with the Kill 'em all version), this sounds kind of death...

[Billinois78]

@iBiomega You can't compare demo tape quality with studio album recording quality. Everything sounds different.

[iBiomega]

@Billinois78 lol, that's true

[guitarirltbh]

@iBiomega dude this isn't mustaine singing this is hetfield

[iBiomega]

@guitarirltbh well, as far as I know (I could be wrong) "No Life 'Til Leather" was recorded with Mustaine at vocals, isn't it?

[guitarirltbh]

@iBiomega nope, dave mustaine never did vocals at metallica, also not on no life til leather, I'm 100% sure this is hetfield

[sidoghosh]

They should Re-release this album again after remaster of course.

[TheJcbach1961]

It is funny and pathetic how many hits this only has compared to the crap they did with out Mustaine.

I was given this demo in 1982 by Ron Quintana of KUSF thrash and bang in SF. Met James at the Cabaret Metro in 1982 we drank often then smoked a lot with Cliff and it is simply amazing how Dave Mustaine has kept the sound and spirit of this style true to its metal form!!!! I saw Megadeth prove that metal is alive and well on 8/29/2010.

[lucomannaro1]

here james has a kid voice!!

[KookieM666]

the sound of the song sounds fucken awsome i like it better than the album version !!!

[Nand0150]

this was with kirk or mustaine?

[Leveer13]

@Nand0150 Mustaine. They didn't even know Kirk yet.

[biiiiirdman]

roots demo ftw!!!!

youtube.com/v/WgdjDgX784g?fs=1­&amp

[duffmasterofpuppets]

I think I like this better, it's just poorly mixed.

[biiiiirdman]

@duffmasterofpuppets dude I've been mixing my demo myself and I need help!- putting this as a reference, how would you mix it?

[duffmasterofpuppets]

@biiiiirdman Well, I'm no professional, but IMO, here's what I would change... I think the drums are too loud and the hi-hat is really sloshy (drummers know what I mean). The snare is too quiet. I'd have Dave do separate rhythm and solo tracks and then mix the solo track in the middle with slightly cut down rhythms. If I'm not mistaken though, this demo was recorded all at once in Ron McGovney's garage. Like I said, I'm no expert, but I hope that helps.

[biiiiirdman]

@duffmasterofpuppets yeah, I know what u mean. Thanks man!- mixing is a pain in the ass

[thesuperpizzaman]

@LittlPussi Agreed

[thesuperpizzaman]

@LittlPussi Haha no problem man. And yeahh I can't pick up sarcasm very well over the internet haha. And I agree slash is in a different league.

[thesuperpizzaman]

@LittlPussi The lead guitarist for guns and roses. Wow that comment was 7 months old.

[cavs608]

daves the best thrash metal guitarist iv ever heard in my opinion. 

[Shenannigan101]

the vocals on No Life 'Till Leather kinda scare me

[rageagainstboxhead]

dude, imagine if Dave and Ron were still in Metallica today

[draconicimpulse]

@rageagainstboxhead

I think that would be fine, but with Cliff instead of Ron.

[rageagainstboxhead]

@draconicimpulse yeah, but instead of Dave they had Lloyd

[Kidnapper89]

@rageagainstboxhead mustaine would waste his talent in metallica

[angus92la]

hey hey hey hey, stop argue ! when we all have band good an` suceffull like these, an be this great players, we can shit then.... but now....dont... just listen, an` keep your thoughts for yourselves :)))

[angus92la]

ron was playing bass here .. thats why bass is so quiet :)))))

[zzzhuh]

all u people that are gonna compare mustaine and kirk hammet's version of these songs i just want to point out that even on ride the lightning they asked kirk to play like dave mustaine so it's kirk hammet playing dave's solo's u can't compare them but i think chris poland still takes the cake

[akathasamurai]

@zzzhuh hahaha this is true; Chris Poland is legend.

[capnkdawg]

I like Kirks solos from Kill Em All better than I like the solos from No Life Til Leather, No Life Til Leather still kicks ass

[metalfuk1]

fuckin metallica dude, can you get any better?

[cartman273]

best album

[hatedskelter]

ALWAYS LOVE THE ORIGINAL ONE!!!

[DJey29]

Thats the Real Metallica, but we have Megadeth now.

[Unica05]

Metallica Megadeth Slayer and Saxon are coming to play @ Sonisphere so I wanna see that first before I judge all the shitt around metallica and megadeth

[chocolatedead]

dave mustaine's solo blow away kirk wah wah hammet solo

[rickyjshiznit]

dude he doesnt use wah that much, he barely used it on the first 4 albums

[larsloveskirk]

@rickyjshiznit cause he played daves solo's hahahahahaha

[DowntownTB13]

yeah, i hate how everyone says that kirk sucks cause of the wah, but everyone says that the songs are good that he uses alot of wah on. people should think about that. lol

[eetfuk1414]

Fuckin fantastic. I used to have a tape of 'Tallica playing live at Ruthie's in SF in '82, fuckin OWNS!

[Okiyu22]

Dave fucking shreds, holy fucking shit.

[raulthebear08]

people who think they know everything bout metal *facepalm*. until ur in a band and hugely successful, respected by all for ur playing skills, you can stfu cos u dont have shit on these guys. Stop arguing. and bow down to legends of metallica and megadeth.

[SilentRecord]

@raulthebear08 Damn right!

[raulthebear08]

@SilentRecord dave fucked up metallica? his guitar playing and stage presence was a big factor in setting up metallica in their early days, they owe a lot to him. They can obviously cope on their own now, but back then, they had a lot to thank dave for while also hating his attitude.

[facebook123123]

@raulthebear08 now i know this is kinda ironic but i agree with u but i also dont wanna bow down to anyone of megadeth. dave was a drunk who fucked up metallica. i dont give a shit about dave the other members yes but not dave. but still more people have heard the name metallica than megadeth so metallica are the true gods of metal

[hppofm]

@facebook123123 and you are 12 years old?

[facebook123123]

@hppofm yep :D

[poopy997]

@raulthebear08 good call :)



[FRAMBEN]

all you people who say that kirks solo sounds all the same can blow me, your precious SLASH or dave mustaine are the same, their solos sounds the same too, and please spare me comments about songs with ^^cool^^ solos from slash or whatever

[thesuperpizzaman]

They don't sound the same but neither do Dave's. Slash on the other hand is insanely overrated and repetitive.

[MetalMania571]

I agree with you 1 million percent

[kennykiloz]

@FRAMBEN thank u for posting that comment THANK U so many people always say kirk sucks when in reality thier precious lead guitarist does the same thing

[Heinrick192]

yes! slash is so dumb lol, but i liek dave hes better than kirk, but kirk kicks ass too! so its all good

[rickyjshiznit]

but havent you heard estranged? lol

[FRAMBEN]

@rickyjshiznit of course i have

i think slash is gret and dave and kirk too

im just saying, if you think kirk is repetetive

think twice

[rickyjshiznit]

actually i was joking because you said not to name any cool solos that slash did

[xXScoutSn1perXx]

dave is clearly better than kirk by far...kirks style is too sketchy in my opinion

[amsedelm]

Damn, Dave kicked ass on lead guitar. Smokes Kirk in my opinion.

[Phant0mAssass1n]

it's not an opinion! dude it's a true known fact that dave is better than kirk! those who don't think that they are completely ignorant!

[Metalwurst666]

could be faster... but imo it sounds still better than the final studio version

[mehlliont]

idk man i dont like this james` voice

[Metalwurst666]

but the guitars sound better and this is with mustaine on lead guitar isnt it?

[mercynary666]

yup it is dave ..!!

[mercynary666]

what its a lot fucking beter than the one he has now this is more agresive and kick ass...

[hansrochanzz]

We need them back in our country !!!!!!

[enix165]

This version sounds a LOT better than the studio version, truth be told...XD

[KillEmAllKid]

Fact: Jdansei1 is accused of being a 50 year old flamer

[jdanesi1]

Fact: KillEmAllKid is widely known to be a lame Metallica fanboy with lame insults.

[KillEmAllKid]

lmfao wow im the lame one mhm im the one that looks up metallica vids and insults them to spare time, god i love children

[jdanesi1]

listen guy, no one was talking to you, if you didn't like my original comment then just hit the thumbs down. don't start spamming this vid with your petty bs cause no one wants to read it.

[KillEmAllKid]

Same goes for you though bud but sure im gonna stop before this gets any dumber

[gigglegrass666]

no one wants to read your shit either

[SupraCelica98]

lmao flawless victory

[KillEmAllKid]

:D lol

[MrGhouls]

You didn't like Justice or the Black Album?

[6ftUnder92592]

I couldnt agree More!

[trithparocy]

great demo. too slow though

[WPH15]

Awesome demo!

[filthc]

james is singing on a karaoke machine :D

[chaucersttafu]

I have a karaoke machine that's circa 1980 so, and it sounds like that so maybe i have the same kind?

[filthc]

that would be awesome :D

[Aviancie]

James' voice wasn't as high in orginial recording as it does on this one, these tapes are older than fuck and the pitch is stretched.

[geobulg]

this voice is EVIL

[bassisbeast1]

Too bad Hetfield sounds like a homosexual-pirate since ReLoad. Remember when he shouts Fuel! Sounds like he threw up the word. Thank god for Black Album and before.

[ScrubsJST88]

no the black album sucks

[bassisbeast1]

Yes! BUT! You have to remember how much WORSE Load ReLoad and the rest are in comparison.

[MrTaco441]

actually load and reload arnt bad at all theyre actually really good. Sadly people that are all like " I want master of puppets 17" dot like em because theyre to "hardcore" to realise that the loads are very advanced but not in a metal way.

[bassisbeast1]

"but not in a metal way" are the key words. METALlica fans want METAL. they're not "too hardcore" they just don't like the genre. It's like if Metallica went country, it could still be good but that's not what we want.

[pennenbuisje]

okay, but it's not your band... so it's not up to you to choose

[bassisbeast1]

fair enough.. touche

[mmaiden666]

it was a hell lot better then st.anger thats all i know but ya

[Dethheadkaps]

you could record yourself taking a shit while hitting a bucket nd it would sound better than st anger

[mmaiden666]

dude i read that like 10 min. ago and im still laughing

[Dethheadkaps]

that was my intent lol

[mmaiden666]

i have no idea why do people like that album it a disgrace compared to ride the lightning

[rahoo5757]

and its fuckin amazing compared to hell of alot of other bands ans other shit they've done so stop whining

[mmaiden666]

wat did i say i can't rember and if say that either megadeth or metallica suck ur weird both of the are badass

[n1njaglare]

@Dethheadkaps Some one has no respect for any other music other trash huh?

[Dethheadkaps]

i think the awsomeness of mustaine could burn the skin off anyone in his presence if they were there to long lol

[ACNAero]

acually ron left for 2 reasons

1: Dave bullied him

2: he made a "Power Metal" buisiness card that pissed of james and lars

[jeleopard]

He just pissed Dave off so Dave beat the shit out of him :P

[theyetidude]

@ACNAero Actually, Lars and James bullied him, but Dave never stuck up for him. Dave said he (Ron) wouldn't stand up to Lars and James, who pulled a lot of stunts on him.

[ACNAero]

@theyetidude i thought ron left when dave poured beer into/on to ron's bass/ amp (i can't remember which) and it "blew him across the room"

[koboimuda]

what the line-up here on this demo??anyone??

[Dethheadkaps]

Dave, James, Ron, and Lars

[geobulg]

what happened with ron?? did he make carrer in music?

[bassisbeast1]

he wasn't really into music. Just James's friend so he joined.

[GunPoor]

@geobulg He was also in Phantasm with Katon from Hirax.

[popole4321]

loll the vocals need more reverb !! haha its so old school i love it

[Motorheadbanger696]

thats wat made it so good in the 80s, it was dirty and fast, the metal underground loved it

[xXKoRnyGuiTaRXx]

i dont like this version cause its to slow the

Kill 'em all version got more speed

[DEFINEMETAL]

im glad they got rid of these vocals they arent good at all.

[BurningToDeth]

Its still James... its the same guy they've ALWAYS had

[DEFINEMETAL]

yes but they changed the style,

couldnt you pick that out of my statement?

They got rid of these vocals, not the vocalist retard.

god.

[BoundWithDuctTape]

the only difference is that on kill em all the quality of the recordings are higher quality, so it sounds better.... except for the solos, dave's solos on this tape kick ass!

[DEFINEMETAL]

youre such an idiot

ofcourse its not just quality that changed

kirk changed alot of solos and mechanix changed to four horsemen. to the untrained ear daves solos may sound better,

but thats because dave only went for speed, which dave was commonly known for back in the day.

kirk went for variety and included alot more hammer ons and pull offs

Kirks solos were both better in my opinion,

but if you just go for speed you'd go for daves.

[BoundWithDuctTape]

legato doesn't make you better, it's just different than picking every note.

plus I was referring to the thing you said about vocals, not guitar. his singing is the same in this as in the kill em all version, only recorded better. since you think the style between the two recordings is so different, it's most likely your ears that are untrained

[walshy0001]

gonna have to agree with boundwithducttape, your the one with the untrained ear... legato doesn't make you better. and variety=hammer ons and pull offs???? i'm sorry but that was pretty stupid

[glareoflegion]

sounds like he says Mucho-breath around 2:25 and a few more times

In Latin, Mucho means Much or too much

but of course he means MOTORBREATH

it just sounds kinda funny

Anyways on topic I think this version is better it has much more energy and you gotta love that raw sound

[hulkstein]

Damn in this demo LARS WAS A BEAST!!!!!!!! on the drumms

[RIPjohnbonham]

hmm...

im hearing these for the first time, and this oen is so far the best for me. soem parts i didnt like the guitar, but the overall feeling of the song was pretty good imo

[louiscfc93]

hetfield wrote the song and sumhow the riff(he didnt know how to play tht gd) mustaine only performed the song but the rest of KEA are all mustaines songs.how can they not be

[Kevameron]

i don't think u understand what jvalle77 is talking about, so why don't u stop talkin and read wut he wrote, cuz he is right

[metalh3dd]

fuckin mustaine sounded perfect here

[jvalle77]

For the same reason that no bassist is credited with writing this song...because they didn't write this song. They merely performed on it. You'll notice on the liner notes to the album that Mustaine was credited as co-writer to 4 of the songs, and Kirk wasn't credited with any of the songs. Look at "And Justice for All", Kirk was credited as co-writer for 4 songs, yet he performed on all of them. All I'm saying is that writing and performing are totally separate issues.

[jvalle77]

The fact that he performed in the songs does not prove that he co-wrote the songs. Not sure if he did or not but performing and writing are separate talents.

[all5stars]

omg what an awsome christmas present, man I would have shit in my pants for that!!

[Hangerzzzn]

Do you still own the original tape? Kinda curious how much they're worth nowadays.

thx for putting this up. grtz

[Dethheadkaps]

i got it as an early christmas present, my uncle gave it to me he got it free in the 80's when it was new...i'd guess about $100 in good condition, but thats why i like cassetes, they're always in good condition
