I got new headphones and decided to test them out with my favorite Metallica album (Ride the Lightning), and it's always nice to be reminded that classic Metallica could be eloquent when they wanted to. Like, For Whom the Bell Tolls has such raw and punchy lyrics, it rules. Also, Call of Ktulu might just be my favorite Cthulu adjacent media. It has such a nice, dreadful, occult atmosphere to it that I wish more Lovecraftian things succeeded at nailing.

The Bass Wah is fuckin' sick and adds so much to the atmosphere of the song.

I kind of get bored with 8 string guitar work because most bands just lay on that 8th string and don't do much interesting with the riffs. Ihsahn is one of the exceptions. I really enjoyed his guitar work on Arktis because it used the extra range in a dynamic way instead of just for the open string tone. (I say open string tone because I don't even know what note the 8th string is)

It's an F# which is the same frequency as the 2nd fret on the low E of a standard bass guitar  there's a reason why most bands with 8 strings guitars either don't have a bass or don't need a bass

Unless they use Meshuggah tuning which is half step flat so F, or drop E, or a consonant 4th from a downtuned set of strings at like D or C or maybe even it's a drop tuning like drop F#

The Voice of Labor posted:would metallica have stayed better for longer had cliff burton lived or was the fame or the meth or the ego or whatever writing already on the wall? No, i don't think so. While he had immense influence of the band, he didn't have that much writing credit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Songs_written_by_Cliff_Burton My take (supported by nothing) is that we would have had the same arch. Metallica just grew older, wiser, greedier. Neither Burton or Mustaine could have changed that. On the other hand, they're still great musicians. Fantastic shows. Last one I saw was in 2017 or 18 or so. Not going to this year's tourney since gently caress paying $800CAD for 2 nights. But i've been to about 10 or so Metallica shows and they all loving killed it each time. Haven seen a band put a more engaging and adrenaline fuelled show (rammstein had more pyrotechnics though). But .. im biased. Here's my first metallica concert: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jumgq6wX9nk . June 9th, 1993, MTK Stadium, Budapest.

Yeah, Metallica is consistently one of the best live bands out there. I took my parents to see them in Atlanta in 2017 and they were blown away.

Nazzadan posted:New Standard Elite full digital catalog is $1 right now on bandcamp, just a heads up You get a ton of top quality brutal death for this price. The releases for Nithing, Gorgasm, Infertile Surrogacy and Ecchymosis alone are worth it. The Asian Pathological Vomit Gorepremacy split is also really good if you like later Last Days of Humanity-type blasting goregrind. The Cystgurgle and Excruciation tracks on that disc are phenomenal.

I'm not sure where they would have gone after justice without bob rock though, that was pretty much their technical peak, it's not like they were gonna make a better rust in peace or something.

There's a lot of material in between his death and St. Anger so it's impossible to say, but in Some Kind Of Monster James says something to the effect of "If Cliff was still alive he'd back me up in making this a thrash album," when they were hearing how it was turning out.
