Far as I'm concerned, Anberlin can eat a dick. This guys is fucking great though.

@blodstroem aye, hence why I corrected myself right after posting that, haha.

Seriously, can Lars Ulrich keep time for more than a fucking bar?? He's getting worse and worse with every Metallica album, this is insane. He doesn't even do anything other than KICK...SNARE....KICK....SNARE, how can you do that so badly???

This is actually cool until about 3:30.

@lousybaker you are the worst kind of person.

I don't get how this is such a big deal to people. In a huge amount of mainstream rock music, after all the sample replacement, gridding and beat detectiv...ing....? you're barely even listening to a real drummer. Metallica is one of the biggest bands in the world, so Lars gets to cut corners. ...

@zdkile7x That's like saying a little kid who can't tune his guitar is mixing things up by breaking the shackles of tonality and expressing himself through dissonance

You're glossing over the fact that Lars Ulrich sucks. And has sucked for a long time. You're in denial if you think otherwise.

Guy in red at 0:14 = funniest thing I've ever seen.

This has to be one of the best songs ever.

HOWEVER, the whole experience will always be ever so slightly marred by that fucking autotunesque flangery shite on the second line. I don't doubt Sheldon's integrity as a producer (Effloresce especially sounds top notch), but seriously- we get Mike isn...

I use 3:09 to educate Parkway Drive fans on real "beatdowns"

okay this one sounds really cool.

@ChristoSatanico I've always wondered what it's like at the Big 4 concerts. The fact Lars is waaay past it and yet Dave Lombardo still delivers the goods must be at the back of everyone's minds.

@TheLastbAaron correction: the PERFECT band to put on such a small stage

Genuinely wasn't expecting it to make the overheads sound as good as it did. Well played sirs.

the Waves PuigTec EQP-1A is a genuinely fantastic EQ plugin.

I fucking LOVE watching the devotion and respect Meshuggah command at gigs. Proof that pushing musical boundaries and retaining your sound and artistic integrity will always be more worthwhile than aiming for mainstream success.

@zabrak999 Why would you read about it, you think bands admit to that shit? It's metallica, dude. They're one of the biggest bands on earth. You can't seriously think they just take a line out of the desk, with no autotune or drum editing at all? And it's watching videos since 2008 that's show...

As much as the guitars sound better, I wish they'd left the awesome original drums alone. Also, 3:05 onwards is one of the greatest Meshuggah creations, in history, ever

@kingakron you're right, they should be busting some moves to the really slow song and the song in 11/16 or whatever shouldn't they? Maybe they wanted to listen.

Jesus christ, he's just a fucking kid, get over yourselves.

I always prefer great musicians when they keep their opinions to themselves. It's easier to appreciate them without finding out they're racist, or homophobic..or in this case, an opinionated tool. Amazing drummer of course, but the argument he tries to make here is retarded from the word go.

A...

heh, it has more dynamics than the godawfully mastered CD, even through youtube. That's funny.

This version beats the living fuck out of the original.

I don't think the hate on this arrogant fuck was enough. He could've broken someone's neck, and 3 years on this video still freaks me out a little.

@ThatAwkwardMan I sense some accuracy in your name

@ThazuaBlackarrow have you listen to OP? That record's metal as shit!

@MrFunkymonks Dude, it was pretty blatant sarcasm directed at the fact Rubin clearly had a pretty hands-off approach to the sessions, and notoriously with a lot of bands he's "produced" in recent times. I think a big guy with a big beard is pretty difficult to mistake.

Hetfield at 20: "C'mon Lars...play something that doesn't sound like ACDC....you can do it....any minute now....oh he's just going to gradually speed up"

The jump from Everyone Into Position to Frames was ridiculous. They just started working on a totally different musical level with this album, they almost sound like a different band for most of it, but in a really, really good way. This song especially is just so fucking bizarre in so many way...

@F0rtyNuggets It's a weirdly recurring thing. Josh is way louder than him in so many QOTSA live videos/recordings, I don't know what's the cause of that. Maybe it's some weird ego thing but I'd like to think not...

Used to use a clear G1 on my snare years ago. It sounded absolutely fucking fantastic, but it was destroyed within a week...

@rehabdanny it does, they never really took this song (name escapes me) anywhere, but stuck that riff in BUART..
