Metallica play complete Master Of Puppets album live

A Primal Nut

Apparently Metallica played all of Master Of Puppets at Rock Am Ring tonight. The stream wont work properly for me though. Hope this will be on youtube soon enough. Can't wait to see Disposable Heroes and particularly Orion played live.


Interestingly Dream Theater played a cover of the same album before but it sucked. Amazing musicianship but lacked the incredible energy Metallica still play those songs with.

Well I thought the Dream Theater version was good enough when I heard the audio but then I seen the video of them playing the title track and they all just stood there. No energy, particularly from the lead singer. James Hetfield has to play guitar as well as sing and he still does more running around then the DT dude. Plus as far as I remember they played it at a similar speed to the original album version, which seems slow compared to the Metallica live version. That song has been copied by so many bands but the original live version from bootlegs during the Cliff Burton era is still the best by far.

It wasn't me!

Running around does not a live show make

In fairness, even though I'd probably prefer Dream Theater to Metallica, DT's version of MoP was fairly limp. Stick to your own stuff lads, it's what you're good at.

Oh I dont know about that, I thought they did an excellent job. A few of the solos were off, but other than that it was fine.

isn't that show supposed to be on MTV today/tonight?

Doesn't look like it

It's being covered by MTV Central/Germany.

Unfortunately, MTV UK&IRL don't play music anymore unless there is some hope for coverage on MTV2 UK.

It was shown "Live" last night. It said Live but i was watchin the stream of it and it was about half an hour ahead. Telling my cousin what was comin up next. Ruined it for him. But anyway, great set, would be happy with that next week

Ok, not running around literally but just some energy. Limp is a good word for it though.

It was on MTV2 for an hour last night, but yes 30 mins delayed, and how annoying is is to watch the first hour of a 2 hour plus concert, just when you would be into it they end, I was copying the feed - which was very very patchy sound wise, but the gig itself was very good, looking forward to them, and will enjoy not hearing St.Anger stuff......
MTV ended it really badly too, no announcements nothing, just ended, they were showing the whole thing on MTV Germany.......

the show is around in a few places if you look for it.......

and I like the idea of them playing MOP from start to finish.....

They're playing a whole album right through? I suppose that's good for Metallica fans.

Motley Crue

cant wait to hear this in full, will be very good

the clansman

i think the dt version is very good....a bit i dunno.....stiff or something at times though http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lu6QVA7Zhq8&search=dream%20theater%20playing%20metallica

Well, I just watched it there, my god, they butchered Orion. Kirk and Lars are totally off, on everything.

senordingdong

Damn, I was really looking forward to hearing Orion.

NIBBS

Lars always butchers everything, hopefully there'll be less mistakes on Sunday.....but I enjoyed the set as a whole...

Necronomicon

Everyone seems to think they'll be doing this on sunday as well....I certainly hope so!

They played Last Caress at Rock Am Ring also.

Saw the Rock am Ring gig, they sounded good, not as tight as normal though. Lars ****ed up a few times and Kirk probably figures i've played these solos so many times who cares.
Playing the album straight through brings something fresh, theres only so many times I wanna hear fuel or sad but true.
Lets hope they play a new song, just a long as Lars leaves the biscuit tin lids in LA.

Kack imo, maybe the quality doesn't do it justice but I'm fairly certain my opinion won't change.
What do ye think of it?

Agent Steel

Great-quality audio recording of new song available now:

I'm not mad about it. Nice to hear a solo though.

I agree with you completely man, Dream Theater's version was musically excellent, but there was no energy whatsoever, they looked bored onstage, I wasnt impressed at all, and it should have been sped up a bit, it's not as if Dream Theater cant play fast! Although I have to say Petrucci looked to be struggling with the quick downpicked riffs.

If you've ever seen their "Five Years In A Lifetime" DVD, you'll have seen them cover Damage Inc. with Barney Greenway from Napalm Death on vocals. Personally, I thought that it was quite decent, but was made hilarious by the fact that we see John Myung almost drop his bass with laughter when Barney starts to sing.

As for the MoP cover, I thought it was pretty damn good for a band with only one guitarist. And Mike Portnoy played the drum parts like Lars Ulrich does in his fantasies.

ferdi

how many misfits covers do they do/have they done?

It wasn't me!

Saw that video before somewhere alright. And as soon as he starts, Petrucci's face lights up with a big grin. It was pretty hilarious alright, I must say.

They played all of Master of Puppets tonight aswell
