there's this guy on youtube who does demos of guitar amps

he's a paunchy middle aged dude who got started playing late in life, and obviously has some money as he films his videos in what looks like a broom closet filled with easily 100 grand worth of equipment

despite having made these videos on a regular bassis for nearly a decade, neither his musical ability, videography skill, nor his filming location have improved

ironically, he refers to himself as "the tone king" despite every thing he plays sounding like a 13 year old at guitar center

if he was kidnapped by the islamic state and forced to make an album in the style of metallica with his extremely limited ability, it wouldn't sound much different than hardwired to self destruct

yeah the idea of an artist or band peaking and never getting back there is stupid

case in point: sonny sharrock

the reason bands like metallica or whoever drop off a cliff is because they quit writing all the time once they don't have to do the constant album/tour cycle to make a living


it's a skill like anything else. if you don't keep working at it atrophy sets in

Gotta give 'em credit for trolling the poo poo out of black metal idiots with their latest video.

And trolling the poo poo out of the music-listening public for over 25 years.

Who wrote the drums for ...And Justice for All? I refuse to believe it was Lars. It doesn't sound like his playing on any other album.

http://www.soundonsound.com/people/metallica-one-classic-tracks

quote:

"'One' was played entirely to a click track, and it took us probably half a day to figure out the varying tempos,” Flemming Rasmussen now recalls. "The chorus was actually a lot quicker than the verses, so I had to manually punch in and out a Linn Drum click track on the 24‑track to make sure we got that tempo transition over the bridge, before it then fell back to the original tempo for the verses. Kirk and James played their guide parts together with the drums. Then we took the tempo from that and, once we had laid down the click track, Lars did a quick run‑through and the guitarists played their parts to that. From there, we started building the track, section by section.

"The whole thing with that specific song — as well as several of the other songs — was their desire for a technical perfection that would have been easy in these days of computer editing but which, back then, we had to achieve manually. Lars's playing had to be extremely tight, and we did 20‑ to 30‑second segments with me punching in and out over 18 drum tracks. When we got a good bit, we'd sit and listen to it a couple of times to make sure it was cool, and if, say, one hi‑hat hit was a little late, I'd chop out a tiny bit of tape with a razor to make it exactly right. That was a long and tiring process, and whereas it would now take about half a day to complete one of those drum tracks, back then it took us a minimum of three to four days. For each song I had a big envelope full of bits of two‑inch tape that I had chopped out, and I remember joking to Lars that they should hold a competition for the fans, enabling them to win lost bits from his drum tracks... He didn't find that at all amusing.




Snowy posted:

Has anyone written a thorough examination of all the ways Lars sucks at drumming? I have a work friend who thinks it's all unfair hate but I don't know enough about drumming to explain it.

the short answer is they're pretty much the only metal band where the guitar is the primary timekeeping instrument

Murder One is a lovely track but its title and its repeating line "born to lose, live to win" makes it seem like it was a tribute to Lemmy.

murder one was the name of lemmy's main amp


there's a bunch of lame motorhead song title references in the song. sadly they left out the best one:

The real question is which major thrash band is most in need of retiring? Slayer, Anthrax, Metallica. All are missing long time important members and they all sound like shadows of their former selves. Not sure which should go, they all make me sad.

unless you count neil turbin or dan lilker as long time important members anthrax still has their lineup from when anyone still gave a poo poo about them minus dan spitz

not saying slayer are nazis, but it's easy to see how people can get the misconception

also the s in their logo being really similar to the ss insignia and putting out shirts with the totenkopf on it

People don't talk enough about Call of the Mastodon. Slickleg, Deep Sea Creature and Battle at Sea are among the best songs they've done, and Brann was just insane on drums back then.

yeah that on was alright, which is why i posted that today is the day album brann and one of the guitarists were on because that's basically where they got all their ideas before getting boring

also surprisingly not terrible is the first lamb of god album before the name change. very similar vibe, which probably explains why steve austin produced it

I do have to wonder though, how long has this business model been around in the metal scene?

payola has always been a part of music promotion and online/print media functioning as a glorified press release clearinghouse is just the next phase

why do you think metalsucks, decibel, metal injection, et al are owned by an advertising company?

was there anything 'wrong' with the original version?

what was so bad about it that you'd want to go so far as rerecord parts to get it right?

nothing. remasters and re-releases were a common tactic in the 90s/early 2000s to gin up catalog album sales. or if you're ozzy's wife a way to get out of having to pay royalties

also he redid the md45 album with his own lovely vocals instead of lee ving's
