The song should be played without it, but they have to have that fucking break because Lar's can't play the god damned song!
The best I've ever seen Metallica play this song was when Lars was sick during Download Festival 2004, and they had Dave Lombardo (Slayer) come and play this song and The Four Horsemen.
Fuck they sounded so tight and awesome, Dave was using Lar's drum set as well, so no excuses.
this is one of their best performnce post load/reload era after they downtuned their guitars,such raw energy.plus jason fuckin rocked it,he goes insane live.sucks they dont perform like this no more now that hes gone.
Holy Shit! My nipples went hard watching this. Hope I'm not gay. Not that there's anything wrong with that, it's just that me and dad just patched things up.
hello everyone my names larry and 20 years ago i got to go to the greatest concert ever yep metallica at ajfa and everyday i see them play im like wow that conccert was fucking insane
i have been to 2 metallica shows in edmonton and calgary. without a doubt the best shows i have ever seen. the quality of the music at their live shows is unreal
oh man i know what you mean, wembley, leeds and newcastle and fuckin sound systems blow every band ive ever seen away, speciali james guitar... amp wizard! metal bro
back in 1894, a little girl named Madeline Crothe was skipping through the woods when a mysterious man in black snatched her. He brought her to his house, tourtered her, and starved her to death. Send this to 6 videos in the next 30 min. and you will be safe, but if you don't... at approximately 1: 34 tonight you will wake up to see an aneorexic child holding a bloodied up knife and she will kill you
When i meet people who say that metallica sucks and is unoriginal, i cant help but wonder if they are just a douche or really drunk. even though they changed their sound at the black album, i think this is a good thing because it shows versatility. in my opinion, it is all good. wether it be battery or unforgiven. i loove it all!
Gsus, Lars is freaking out on the drums, wish I had so much energy. Dude, sounds a bit like blastbeats, but that's usually 16th notes, and this is just the 'normal' beat :O
Great song, I'm definitely gonna buy GH:Metallica when it's out here, practise this song until I've mastered it :D:D
Oh give me a break. So, if you don't have long hair your music becomes less meaningful?
Look at Pantera, or Smashing Pumpkins. Hair has nothing to do with it. Infact, Hair just makes it easier to label you and package you, to send you off into the ocean of washed up bands.
Like I said, hair has nothing to do with music DIRECTLY and ON ITS OWN but It shows that metallica cut their hair so they could be mtv's darlings and so that they weren't perceived as some long-haired misfits. This shows that they started caring more about sales than their music because they tried harder to be mainstream and fit in.
13 year old? I'm 18 years old my good friend. What makes you think I'm on a high horse? You are the one that is claiming that having long hair is needed to having meaning, or as you put it, 'ideals', behind ones music. I already disproved your theory but telling you that having long hair makes it even easier to package you and label you. Take the seattle grunge scene for example. It does not matter if you have long hair, short hair, no hair, etc etc, what matters is the music.
I completely agree. I hate when people try to relate Metallica's music by saying it was better when they had long hair, as if that the longer hair you have the better the songs you make...
I dont know if you ever played a drum before but just try and do what he does at that point with 2 fuckin pencils in your hand. play the full song including the Double drumbass. Let me know how you feel after ? ;)
damn hahaha listen to james voice. Sounds much angrier than 99. His voice was really different between 2000 and 2003. in 04 he just could'nt do that angry roar anymore. Like when he says "frantic tick tick tick tick tock". But still he has great vocals
Fulltiltpoker com was launched in 1999 and it was promised to the future clients of this new pokerroom, that it would soon become ´the best online pokerroom´. Well it seems like they are planning to stick to their promise - at least as far as bonuses are concerned. Right now you can get a huge $600 bonus, simply by entering the Referral Code JUSTMORE! Americans welcome!!
see now, if i was there at the show i would be a little disappointed because they didn't play the intro, that builds the whole song up so much! oh well!!!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
dave mustain was better then jason. but now tht jason left and dave got kiked out of metallica they recruited a bassest tht played with ozzy. And lars ur an asshole james u rock.
i wish they still wrote like they did back before they got paid more to cut their hair and tone down the rock this is a great example of what they did back in the late 80s early 90s
maaan the main guitar riff together with the lyrics... its so naturally agressive, not violent, but it gives you godlike feeling, it fills you with power. batterei!
