great idea, very poorly executed.

also metallica always sounds like shit live. anyone remember the live stream metallica concert thread we had on gaf? so funny/

They do nowadays.

Seattle '89 is where it's at.

This guy knows what's up. They sound absolutely killer in that show.

 

[GeoramA]

Amazing album. The Thing That Should Not Be is probably my favorite track from it.

 

[Himself]

Saw it live at MSG. Sound was fucking terrible. Didn't really enjoy it. But I'm the kinda dude who thinks listening to anything past
Master of Puppets is a waste of time.

 

[jbueno]

Love the album, my favorites are definitely No Leaf Clover and One. Oh and the Battery intro. And Wherever I May Roam. It has been a while since I´ve listened to it though, perhaps I should give the DVD a listen.

 

[Dimmuxx]

No Leaf Clover is pretty awesome. Back when the album was released I hoped that the next album would sound like it.

S&M would have been perfect if Orion was on the set list. Cliff really was a clever musician - the whole bridge to that song is amazing. 3 part guitar harmonies, lead bass, and that interplay between the guitars and bass which is almost like a counterpoint or something.

But yeah, S&M was great. Call Of Ktulu and No Leaf Clover are the highlights. Nothing Else Matters was also handled nicely.

 

[OneEightZero]

I feel that version of Master of Puppets is vastly underrated.

For Whom The Bell Tolls also.

Now that was an incredible show. Feel that energy! Even the Cunning Stunts DVD had a little bit of it but you can tell it was slowly fading away. I'd still watch/pay for a Metallica show today but I know that the vibe they had back then is no more.

Also, some people have mentioned No Leaf Clover was written with the orchestra in mind. I could very well be wrong, but I don't think that's 100% correct. I always thought it and -Human were in some form from the Load sessions (though not completed). Thought that's what they said during the making of stuff. Have to check.

EDIT: I was remembering correctly. The making of, James says No Leaf Clover had been on tape for a couple of years at least.

I vaguely knew that the song wasn't recorded with the orchestra. I assumed that the band recorded it, finished it and then let the orchestra add their magic to it later. I wasn't under the impression that No Leaf Clover was created waaaaaay before the idea of S&M was even thought up.

Apart from that being Cliff's song and the rest of the guys not wanting Jason to go near it, I cannot see any other reason why that song wasn't included in S&M. It fits and might've been the best song on the setlist.

They had Call of Ktulu. They may have decided that it worked better with the orchestra and didn't want two instrumentals. Apparently The Unforgiven didn't work with the orchestra either.

Thanks, now that sounds really great *thumbs up*

Okay, now for the holy grail ;-)

Bullshit. Saw then 18 months ago live, they sounded great. Nailed Orion and No Leaf Clover. I was a happy lad.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

Love this album.

Never understood the haters.

 

[Cyan]

Love the album. Had a chance to go see the concert, but couldn't afford it. :/

Yeah, it sucks that they didn't figure out Unforgiven. I imagine the verses were the problem, since obviously the chorus seems like it'd have been real easy.

To be clear, it wasn't 100% done. Sure it was just riffs with maybe some vocal melodies if it even ever got that far.
