...And Justice For Jason is best of all. It's basically a remix of the album with an actual bass track. The Shortest Straw = :drool:

Never heard of this before you mentioning it...

And I must thank you - Harvester of Sorrow FTW !... +rep and a huge Thank You !...
 
Here's some more information on the lack of bass on ...And Justice For All: (From Wikipedia)

And, in one of the more famous of Hetfield and Ulrich's controversies with bassist Jason Newsted, the album's production almost completely lacks identifiable bass (although a remixed version with bass added has been circulating around peer-to-peer networks). The standard explanation for this combines Newsted's absence from the mixing sessions (where he might have asserted his opinion) and the lingering issue of his "newness" within the band following the tragic death of Cliff Burton in September 1986.

As said by the band in their magazine SO WHAT!, they wish that they could re-mix the entire album because the drums and guitar overpower the bass completely. Some believe this is because Jason Newsted was new to the band and they wanted to frustrate him, though many, including Newsted himself, have stated this is due to the bass lines copying the rhythm guitar parts too closely.

I only just got into Metallica a few months ago courtesy of a friend's playlist. I'd have to say that while I can very much appreciate the Cliff Burton era, I find I like the stuff from the Jason Newstead era - Black though to S&M - more because I'm not big on the early power metal (with the exception of Master of Puppets). I like most of their stuff from that era, especially The Outlaw Torn, Bleeding Me and Fixxxer. Damn, they did so much good stuff that I can't pick my favourite ... probably Outlaw.

I agree with anyone who calls St. Anger a load of dogpoo

While I admit it's nothing stellar - they tuned in dropped C when Hetfield's vocals are mostly in E (though he is a little off-key in a few places) - when you really listen to it, it does have its moments of brilliance. Those are limited to a few places throughout the album rather than the whole, but at least they've moved the tuning back up to E for the ninth album. Plus, they've got Rick Rubin producing.

I missed Arch Enemy!!! They were in SF tonight! :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

I'd rather bang my head at the show and not the wall...^

That probably didn't make sense...
 
Scary Symmetry? :scared: :p

Arch Enemy's 'Rise of The Tyrant' title track is AWESOME. The Amott brothers are back!

Some new bands I've checked out:

Psyopus
sikTH - Awesome band. Very, very, very, very complex music. Listen to the breakdown on the song 'Pussyfoot.' It's ridiculous.
 
Have any of you seen the documentary "Metal - A Headbanger's Journey"?

It has some interesting interviews and some laughable moments (like Alice Cooper's comment on Norwegian Black Metal bands :lol:), although the director was more interested in showing himself head banging in concerts than anything. Still worth watching in my opinion.

Yeah I saw it a couple months ago. It was really good. Creepiest part was the interview with Gaahl. (of Gorgoroth)

Killswitch Engage was surprisingly good live. Same show as DragonForce.

I was going to see them at Warped tour, but they played late and we were all soooo sunburned that we thought we'd skip out early. My buddies saw them at that same tour with Dragonforce though.

Deicide and Fear Factory sucked live.

Symphony X dominated live. Dream Theater dominated live.

I wanna see Adagio! (Thank you Deeg for introducing them to me!)

So, anybody here like Adagio? Listen to Dominate and Underworld. Awesome! No, really, listen to it. It's some good stuff.
 
So did anyone know that the new Nightwish cd had been released? It's been out for almost a month, lol. I got it last night and will be listening to it very soon. 👍


Silverzone
Seeing them in December with Lamb Of God, Killswitch Engage, and Devil Driver. Can't wait, Soilwork is badass.
