  • Can you offer the heavier bass versions of the And Justice for All songs for download? I feel ripped off with the original versions :/

  • Perhaps it wasn't that the bass was turned down, but that Jason just didn't play any different part, it's just the guitar part played in a lower key on the bass? At least my bf's theory lol but I want this on CD!

  • the eye of the beholder seems like mine at least I guess....

  • And Justice for Jason!!

  • Holy shit, this really injects new life into this absolutely epic song. I want this album remastered so bad. Metallica's peak imo.

  • Megadeth actually turned bass up, in Killing Is My Business album, and Peace Sells album, and Rust In Peace album (remastered).

    And what did Metallica do? Remove bass? Seriously? They have to remaster this album

  • @Aenskyd Megadeth turned drums up. The bass still the same... like the unremastered ones. That's what i like about dave... he's very creative, and really like music.

  • @Aenskyd Really. V___V

    I would buy this on CD if they did...

  • listen to this JB!

  • 11 people were petrified by the eye of the beholder

  • a totall fucking master thrash metal piece..............

  • ...with a distortion to the vocals? interesting...

  • @vizier87 That's not distortion that's his voice.

  • @ImperialzHD how????? lol it's amazing!

  • How long must we wait until we hear with added cowbell?

  • this song id fucking awesome! i love it!!!

  • About time someone could actually HEAR Jason.

  • I can hear some buzzing on the CD track, at the start of the song. That's Jason's bass :)

  • 10 are being watched by the Beholder. XD

  • And Justice For All > My favourite album of Metallica

  • this song has some of the most kickass lyrics i have ever heard \m/, shame it isnt the real bass track though :(

  • TOO MUCH BASS... but it's good to at least hear it.

  • 4:32 <3 <3 <3 :D

  • You could write a book about the lyrics of this song they are so meaningful and true

  • this is what AJFA didnt have a decent bass godamn good job apd65

  • Very,very very nice!!!

  • AAAHH!!! WHERE WAS THE FINISHING BIT.

  • perfect song to prepare yourelf for something AWESOME!

    i might just about do something awesome.

  • voice is mildy off.... -.-

  • they should play this more often, just as the frayed ends of sanity and escape

  • Did James just watch 1984 before writing this song? Or is he a believer in the illuminati/NWO?

  • best Lars's drumming list:

    1. AJFA

    2. St. Anger (drums = awesome, the trash can snare = ruined everything)

    3. Master of Puppets

    4. Death Magnetic

    5. Ride The Lighting

    6. Kill 'Em All

    7. The Black Album (powerful drums, but not technical)

    8. Load/Reload (they were pretty simple imo)

  • I dont get it..this song wasnt on guitar hero

  • @metaltera86 play a real guitar.......

  • @Doogie728 No i didnt mean it like that.. this song wasnt on guitar hero. How did this person get the bass track?

  • @metaltera86 Its recorded by himself or with any basic music-writting program

  • aFA with could be at level of MOP and RTL U_U

  • Freeeeeedom with their exception!

  • I really wish they would have made the bass louder in the original. But overall this song and all of justice totally kicked ass

  • I just don't get why the bass was so subdued in the original. I've heard it said that James and Lars did it as a message to Jason that he was not the equal of Cliff Burton.

    [overheard] "Hmm... Lets fuck up the album so our new bass player doesn't get a swelled head."

    Talk about cutting your nose to spite your face!

  • @Guitcad1 In MY opinion all they did is disrespecting Cliff & fans by MUTING BASS. from their point of view: Maybe they thought it would be more fitting to express Cliff's abscence with the abscence of his instrument.

  • @zwareshag, that is partially true but it was really more of an afterthought.

    Lars said it wasn't done out of spite and Kirk said that Jason's plectrum wasn't interfering, it's just that James was wanting to experiment with how thick the rhythm guitar could sound with very little bass.

    Flemming Rasmussen referred to this album as the most influential metal album (I wouldn't go that far but I definitely think it's the most influential Metallica album) because today's metal bands have less bass.

  • @JosephKuby WTF, LESS BASS? Clean your ears son or tell me what you been listening....

    Then why didnt James test that shit on the cover album? i know i know the cover album was a handy trick to introduce the new bass player and all but still..... it was to fuck jason deSPITE what James says, thats crap rolling out of his lying mouth back then. I need not remind you of the egotistical asshole that was J. Hetfield in 88 (bandwise)(dont get me wrong,plz)

  • @zwareshag, well, less bass in a way which defeats the purpose of equality (besides having less than Iron Maiden, Primus and Mr. Big if not ...and Justice for All). ;-)

    Pretty much the entirety of the metalcore scene has limited bass. In other cases, the bass may be heard but usually underneath the vocals, drums and guitars.

    Jimmy Het wanted to save the experimentation for an epic-length LP otherwise the fans of the original (EP) artists would complain about Metallica softening their classics.

  • Those who don't like this are fagots.

  • @thelegendoflink52 YEAH FUCK

  • Love the bit that comes on at 2:00 proper catchy

  • how did you add bass ??

  • @can192 he has all the tracks(guitars, drums, bass) then he uses some program like audicity or something and just raises the bass's volume

  • Nice :D  \m/

  • When he says " You can do it it your own way, if its done just how I say "

    makes me think of this fucked up government and how they subtly tell us what to think, what to watch and listen...fuck them

  • @jerryr619

    Also makes me think of religion and its contradictions.

  • @jerryr619 this song makes me think is intensely ironic that Metallica came up a balls to the wall independent band then became a team player the second money was dangled in their face, their music and values changed accordingly, they're the soundtrack to mindless consumption, Wal-Mart/Xbox music for dipshits drinking redbull

  • @misconduckt dude don't knock red bull.

  • Is theres something wrong with his voice? Or is it the music that way? It looks like it has some sort of echo.

  • @hondapt1995 Sounds like a chorus / flanger effect to me :)

  • wow this sounds fuller

  • underrated as hell.

  • Soooooo Heavvvvyyyyyyy

  • shame this wasnt on GH metallica so we could get the true bass track, like dyers eve and shortest straw

  • I understand what you're saying, but Jason was a fantastic bassist in his own right. Cliff was great, but Jason brought his own style to the band that eventually became an important part of their sound -

  • perfect song, but i really hate the effeck on the vocals...

  • i never get bored of this song!! this is one of the greatest songs ever.... although most metallica songs are amazing... hard to choose a top 10 when they have perfect songs (opinion)

  • Lars may not be the greatest drummer in the world but he's still a damn good one and he's not just a drummer he also composes songs and writes lyrics, he's a master musician.

  • @JoshScores calling him a master musician is senseless, the real musician of metallica is james hetfield

    he plays guitar, drums, piano and bass

    as for lars ulrich...maybe a master douchebag for suing the internet

  • @rockonabc1 I wonder for the studio versons of the newer songs, I think James should play the drums, see if Lars sounds better the next album, I wonder of that'll ever happen, for live will have Lars play the drums, but the studio verson have Lars on the rythme guitar, just as an idea, see how well that might sound, just a thaught

  • there's a part in this song taht sounds like a videogame! i love metallica

  • In my opinion, Metallica's most underrated song. It's my favourite, lyric-wise and all-round heavyness in it.

  • @NyctricProudmoore Im a harvester of sorrow kind of guy

  • @NyctricProudmoore verry much agreed

  • @NyctricProudmoore its not the most underrated I think - most underrated would Leper Messiah or something from the earlies

  • @AZ377 Most underrated is Escape,although this and Frayed Ends are also underrated.

  • @NyctricProudmoore yup, i'm a die hard metallica fan and it's my fave song

  • @NyctricProudmoore yeah I agree

  • @NyctricProudmoore I agree. Some of Hetfield's best lyrics in this song, for sure!

  • Listened to AJFA while tripping on shrooms in the middle of fucking nature. was so afraid of apocalypse, that loved every peace of earth under my feet.

  • @nazworkshop, I'm guessing the phaser effects on the vocals are representing someone who is either speaking through radio (a call-to-arms type of thing) or someone who is trapped (hence the theme of censorship).

  • JASON WAS AND IS AN AMAZING BASS PLAYER, METALLICA IS MY FAVORITE BAND BUT I WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND WHY THEY DID THIS TO HIM....

  • @Mahita85, they did it to make a point that Cliff could never be truly replaced.

  • every metallica album is brilliant in its own way. except st anger and reload which are honestly pieces of crap

  • @bigjohnny12345678

    it took awhile for me to get load/reload, but once i stopped comparing them to this, they became much more likable. I suggest listening to them as though they were a completely new/different heavy blues band. You will get much more enjoyment out of them. There are 4 or 5 songs on Reload that blow my mind to this day. Fixxer and Prince Charming are rocking as hell. This coming from someone who still has a No Life till Leather cassette.

  • this song makes me want to punch someone in the face..i love it

  • you should tell metallica how to mix their albums

  • way too loud man and there's no mid range. no one can get this right :/

  • This song goes so hard!  \../ MetallicA \../

  • from 4:12 on up!!!!!!!! serious mofo!!!!!!!!

  • Reminds me of Cyanide

  • weed is drug!

    alcohol is chill man, chill man...

  • llol

    chill man, chill...

    that was funny :)

  • In reality it's pretty much the other way around

  • youre retarded

  • mm,that was nice to liste to =D

  • weed is banned because they can't put a tax on it. it's so easily grown that ppl can grow it in their house like a fucking fern. so if someone were to legally buy weed they could take the seeds and grow more for free with no taxes on it

  • @Metayerthraxadeth first off i dident see any one on here say anything about weed and second off its not only that. theres a bunch of different reasons

  • @Metayerthraxadeth I know I know! Its because weed opens the imagination and people start to think about whats holding them down as humans!!!

  • Why you got some? Lemme get it.

  • BASS! What a marvelous idea!

  • so well said, ranter.

  • It's nice they got back to some of this musically on Death Magnetic, but they came nowhere near this lyrically.

    These lyrics have more meaning today than when they were first recorded.

  • @GenXRanter I think its because they're all nearing fifty and are multi millionaires... I don't think I would have a lot to be angry at anymore either hehe.

  • @GenXRanter, I agree. I went through a traumatizing situation in 2007 that brought to life the lyrics of this song.

  • @GenXRanter yep because of that piece of shit obama and the senate

  • @GenXRanter This whole album was their most unique. It's a progressive style, which was different for Metallica, yet they maintained their same thrash. Master of Puppets may be their best album, but ...And Justice for All is my favorite.

  • @GenXRanter yeah and the world is going to be Blackened soon D: metallica knew the future \,,/

  • @GenXRanter, definitely. I could relate to this, ...and Justice for All, The Shortest Straw and The Frayed Ends of Sanity when I became the victim of a conspiracy in 2007.

    It's a very complicated story but, to keep it simple (if not nice), different groups of people let their vengeance, paranoia and racism get the best of them.

  • some songs of Justice-album sound really good with this effect but THIS doesnt fit..

  • 5:21

  • Fucking love this song.

  • so so good

  • i dont hate it , its just fucking stupid lol

  • im alright i think its stupid to argue over computers

    your probably some fat shit who lives in his moms basement.

  • bahaha fag

  • your an idiot..

    thats why we're giving you thumbs down fuck head

  • ...And Justice For Jason :P

  • I honestly say that all of these songs are better with the bass enhanced. I think Metallica should take the cd and add basses to ever song and re-sale it with the bass enhanced. They could make a lot of money.

    I would buy it

  • @Ryouknowit Unfortunately, Metallica won't do that as not to anger the faggots that like it without bass. I mean, just look at the remasters of a lot of metal albums; Rust in Peace for example. Megadeth remastered it and got a huge bounty of negative feedback.

  • @RinkuChan44 yeah because of brave keyboard warriors behind their screens things get flamed easily. i liked the rust in peace remaster it was still heavy as fuckballs.

  • @Ryouknowit id buy it too.

    i bet it would sell for shitloads of money.

  • @Ryouknowit The bass adds nothing to the songs rather than disturb the thick sound with a groovy sounding bass which is just out of place. There you go, that's why it was buried. For good.

  • This is sooooo much better with a bass

  • Do you see what I see?

  • That Metallica is the most epic band ever?

  • Yes

  • i never get bored of 0:54 - 1:03 rifff is sooo awesome

  • i feel the exact same way, its just so heavy, rough and thrashy:)!

  • @statistic90 Only James Hetfield can make a muted open low E string sound that awesome.

  • @statistic90 Fucking Right,

  • @statistic90 yeah man it gives me goose bumps every time I hear the riff!!!!!

  • @statistic90 1:56 is awesome to :)

  • @statistic90 dont you mean 0:00 - 6:45

  • @G3BOMB1 lol well said

  • @statistic90 damn right you are!im pressing 0:54 all thhe time :D

  • @kill10003 xD head bang rift ftw! ^^

  • @statistic90 you got that rite.ima listen to this song all day and then headbang at night.

  • Puta que es bueno este disco de mierda, este tema es mi favorito.

  • Este tema, y este disco, todo de puta madre de principio a fin

  • The creativity of the drum-section on the whole album makes my penis go up.

  • to anfittie and beyond:)

  • This shit is heavy, evil, and the awesome lyrics with the overall theme and added bass makes this awesome. Thats what i love about this album. It was dark, heavy, evil, and indescribably awesome. "...And Justice for Newsted".

  • riff at 1:57 makes my penis grow up

  • The whole album makes my penis go up.

  • Chorus at 2:17 makes my penis go up

  • me too

  • This is my favorite song to play off of AJFA, My Lord I never knew how quiet the bass was before until, the song began, it was instant BASS BOOST, FUCKING RAD!!! James and Lars are fucking pricks for treating Jason like that, no wonder he left them for Voivod. The riffs are so catchy, and heavy as hell.

  • Hey Shockheadd, it MetallicaBassist ^^

  • Hey what's up man?

    This song's harmony solos are insane, and they twist, and dazzle everywhere with double stop luster. Kirk's solos are so mechanical, and bizarre in a awesome way.

  • Yeah, its a great song. One of my favorites from ...And Justice for all.

    This album had some of Lars's best drumming.

  • The And Justice For All solos by Kirk do work, and HARD WORK, man, they sound so badass, and have major attitude style to the sound. Frayed Ends of Sanity has Kirk's craziest, noisiest, most paranoid solo ever.

    And AJFA has one half of Lars best drumming. MOP is the other for him.

  • I don't know, I thought Lars's second best drumming was on Death Magnetic. Kirk's solos were amazing in AJFA.

  • WERE?? Kirk's solos on AJFA are very still mechanical, weird-badass, and powerful. As for Lars this is my favorite order, of his best drumming by him.

    1. AJFA

    2. MOP

    3. RTL

    4. Load/Reload

    5. The Black Album

    6. KEA

    7. S&M

    8. DM

    9. St. Anger

  • Master of Puppets drumming was more average to me. In Death Magentic, they seemed more above average. For me its: 1AJFA 2DM 3Reload 4Load 5MOP 6TBA 7RTL 8St Anger 9KEA
  • His solos are amazing on this album, especially considering he was so stoned he cant remember much of the recording of this album(his words not mine)

    I love weed! (my words........ and more than likely his)

    struggle within is my fav solo

  • @MetalUnderground100, I agree. I'd say, as a drummer, Lars is 7/10. One number short of Dave Grohl, two numbers short of Charlie Benante (along with Mike Portnoy as well as Dave Lombardo) and three numbers short of Gene Hoglan.

  • Actually in terms of technical skill St. Anger had Lars' most advanced drumming. It's a shame he had to ruin it with his dumbass snare idea.

  • WHAT???

  • No, AJFA had the most technical drumming by FAR

  • agreed, i love the bass drum on this album.

  • Thank you for finally putting what I couldn't put together in words for me. (Lars part.)

  • Your welcome.

  • metallica fuckin rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • the most underrated song on this whole album. and my favorite Metallica song of all time

  • this album is in the shadows as compared to the overrated master of puppets,

    this album is metallicas best to date, this album is pure brilliance. no sound can ever come close to this.

  • I wouldn't go that far but it's my favrite Metallica album. Puppets is a great album thou. This album just needed more bass. Never was a huge Jason fan but he was a great bassist

  • no ride the lightning is in the shadows man no doubt about it

  • Agree. This album reaches the tip of the excellence of what old school trash metal can be about. No wonder TBA had to come and then downhill from there

  • @ifjvassn, if you want another example of excellent thrash metal, check out the 1991 masterpiece Time Does Not Heal (by Dark Angel).

    It combines the intelligence of ...and Justice for All with the lethal drive of Kill 'em All.
