@RodrigoFreitas851 It's not, dw. Another comment on a diff vid suggested people check out the wikipedia article on this dvd. Jeff explains why some bits look out of sync, or overdubbed. =]
@theotherguy7145 I've seen that article. That dont explains the overdubs, explains why some parts of the concert are filled with images that are out of sync. It is damn clear that is studio trickery, Dave Padden didnt overdubbed his vocals much, but Jeff Waters remade them all on studio, just check Jeff's lips while singing the songs...
@RodrigoFreitas851 "Half-way through the recording some cameras were turned off which resulted in clips from earlier songs having to be put in to fill the gaps"
@SCNRRR whatever shit they went through, they succeed one way or another. Lulu only is an co-op experiment, so it doesnt count as Metallica record. St.Anger was the only bad album. and i dont care if Metallica is so good that they are called "sell out" or "mainstream". They are the most succesfull Metal band in the world. and i only said it was my opinion.
@kjn5991 Well that's a respectable and very personal opinion and actually at some point you're right, one way or another they're kind of the most known metal band all around the globe, but yet as proper thrash metal you would rather listen Megadeth or Slayer than Metallica in the main event, not that I am a hater, but Lars just... sucks live nowadays, I do really like Metallica, but live they're just poor. Sharing my opinion.
@exaraspower metallica the big four is a laugh slayer and anthrax are the only true thrash metal bands out of them the true thrash metal gods are sodom destruction and Kreator
@Guitarnassos It should better take the place of Anthrax or take a new place. Really... The big four are great and crying for thumbs up is so childish.
stop bitching about the "big 4".. all that means is that those 4 bands were the most commercially successful, not best... so stop giving a fuck and just listen to the music
@mok0s1, Agreed, but at the end it stands to where you make your music right?
scene was there but Jeff wasn't.
@technyx if we remove the brutal vocal from death then I can agree with you, but without brutal vocal it will would not be death, so for me, it is another step up for metal scene.
This looks like a pretty hard song to play and sing at the same time to me :P That singer is a good guitarist! (ofcourse Jeff is too... but that's a common sense xD)
@musicfan1ize You stupid dipshit, have you ever listened to Kill'em all, ride the lightning (not only for whom the bell tolls, master of puppets and ..and justice for all? If you did, you'd know Metallica was thrash! want proof: look up "Whiplash" "Metal militia" "fight fire with fire" "battery" "blackened" and many, many others
nowadays none of the big four really is thrash anymore
@FirePower3006 I love Dave Padden (that's the guy), I think he's great. But I love Jeff's vocals and he should at least sing more than he does already.
@prostakis I saw this tune in live (in hellfest 2010 to be more exact ), and they played better than in this video!!^^ Long live to thrash and annihilator!!
@technyx partially right, for it was Venom that started it all in the 80's with Welcome to Hell to quote Metallica's resident egotist, Lars Ulrich " Welcome to Hell was a classic, Speed Metal, Black Metal, Death Metal, Venom started it all in 1981 with that one album." And for those that would argue that Venom didn't create Black Metal, the demo for the song Black Metal was originally released in 1979. The Big 4 were the first to take the thrashy sound Venom created and perfect it.
@technyx False. There were a multitude of bands prior to "the big four" playing said genres, but they simply had bad timing and as such never got a break. The business was all about luck pretty much.
how the fucck can he play that riff and sing at the same time!
