If you listen to Metallica play Justice songs with Rob Trujillo, it sounds like this. Newsted was a loving hack, they shoulda signed Claypool :colbert:

I saw these guys live before they were really big (I believe it was pre-White Whale meme) and holy poo poo Brann owned

Jason might not have been a genius like Cliff or as skilled as Rob but he was still a good player. What makes him special is that his stage presence was insane. His backing vocals and energy are a thousand times better than the other guys. These days it's actually hard for me to listen to Creeping Death, Whiplash or Seek and Destroy unless it's a live version with Jason taking over verses and just absolutely killing it.

Claypool would've been wasted in Metallica because James and Lars run everything with an iron fist ever since Cliff died.

Lars sucks and it's fun to see those shows with Joey Jordison and Dave Lombardo behind the kit and be like "what if they had a better drummer?" but Lars' creative force in the studio is something that those other guys couldn't replicate so basically Lars is just the best drummer specifically for Metallica.

Obviously they've made some poo poo music along the way but as the only metal band on the planet who can literally sell out stadium shows based on their name alone, they clearly did something right. They also still put on a killer show for a bunch of 60 year olds playing metal so I highly recommend that if you haven't seen them and have the opportunity, just give it a shot.



VVVV yeah that was definitely a ballsy decision, gotta give them credit for allowing that to be released when it doesn't really put them in the best light. At the same time, it shows that they're real people that are hosed up in their own special ways just like the rest of us.

This is a good post, and I agree that Newsted vocals make Creeping Death and Seek and Destroy work, although I would've never put that together myself beyond a general dissatisfaction with later versions I heard from Youtube.

Honestly I think Claypool would've worked in Metallica, although I dunno if he would've lasted. Sizzle Fry and Sailing The Seas of Cheese are absolutely not Metallica albums, but the speed and technical chops are there.

AJFA is a good album, but by all of those points Ride the Lightning is a superior album (also including Cliff)

I worked with a guy who named his son Orion, and there is an extremely good chance its after the Metallica song

I also have a cousin named Kashmir, after the Led Zeppelin song :doh:

Orion is a really good song and you have a logical out

Yes and also yes

"Sweetie, can you pick up Trapped Under Ice from band practice tomorrow after school? I can't make it, I'm meeting with Harvester of Sorrow's teacher"

EDIT

Harvester by itself would sorta work, its a lot more interesting than Jaeden or whatever
