Is anyone recording it??? Any links or anything to a stream to the show?

It'll be online in about 5 minutes I reckon.

So far - HOLY ****, they've been listening to a lot of Iron Maiden. And Hammett's been practicing

Het-Field

Reminds me of And Justice For All's contents in terms of its structure.

Its a hell of a lot better then the best of St Anger, and it has far more kick than anything on Load or Reload. The jury was out for me regarding Cyanide, till I heard it in Arras. No jury out in this case. This rocked my socks.

NOW I WANT TO SEE THE MUSIC VIDEO

Mushy

I call it good...quite very good. Not their best, but certainly an improvement. Def a cross between Fade to Black and One anyway. I'll give it my thumbs up.

GristlyEnd

Very good, also reminded me of justice from the start.

That made my day they really have taken all their best attributes in and put together a great progressive song. The dual solo is a fresh breath of air with no wah and just great guitaring. Man its like they took every album they had and made it into a song.


Congrats Metallica uv done a fine job

Mental Mickey

:eek: Fuppin hell!!!! That was savage!!!!! When I heard it on their myspace, I thought the intro sounded like "Don't Fear The Reaper":D. Then the Mighty Het's vocals kicked in!!!! I'm listening to Zane Lowe online on BBC and he's gonna play it again. Then I'm gonna head over to the Mission Metallica site and get my download!!!!

EDIT: What the hell has Hetfield been doing to his voice!!?? Awesome.

ven0m

JEEEESSSUUUSSSS!!!! Where the hell did this come from???

This really sounds so bloody good - I am absolutely stunned!!!!!!! :eek:


This was such a really good choice for the first single, considering every bugger & their cat loves NEM/One/Fade To Black.


I am absolutely gob smacked!!!!!!!!!!!!!

fifth

I liked it a lot, looking forward to hearing this again. Seems the general opinion is very positive..

Its called Autotune.




the first 5 minutes of this tune are awful, the last 2 are an interesting yet average attempt at redoing "one" except ulrich is too old to keep up.


poor. very poor. i was already less than excited about this album, but thats cinched it for me.


boo metallica, boo-urns!

Fago!

Redo "One"???? Come off it??? They know that they can never capture a song like that ever again. I for one dig this song. Why is everyone obsessed with Metallica playing at 1000 mph all the time. What's wrong with a little variation?? Never killed anyone did it?? The first 5 minutes awful?? You're taking the p*** aren't ya?? That's where all the lyrics are, ferchrissakes.

Ah, well.............there's always "One"(boom boom).:rolleyes:

On offence but you sound one of the few that were never going to be happy with anything they made. Not a attack on you btw:p

Yup intro's are both using the same scales i dont think its a case of "they stole that riff of them" happens alot in music people are running out of progressions to play =(

Iv just seen the tabs for the intro bit and it looks like a reversed progression of No Leaf Clover!

The verse is a A minor progression aswell and Dont Fear the Reaper is A minor also.

I knew it sounded familiar. Can't wait to see the video!

I've already got the solo nailed ..... jesus Kirk, I'm getting old & my hands don't play like I've eleventeen squillion fingers anymore ...... ffs take it easy on us dude LOL!!!!!!!

Stupid question - tuned half down a step, yeah? Don't have a guitar at hand

Gonzovision

Hmm still undecided on this. Will give it a few more listens before I pass judgement.

Mental Mickey

Has anyone got the lyrics deciphered yet? There are parts of it that I can't quite make out...?

Some people are saying its standard?? I dunno though because since James blew his voice they mostly recorded in Eb so his voice doesnt sound totally blown.

It is in Standard, not Eb - works cleaner in standard, cos I thought it was Eb too, but the CMaj-A5-GMaj progression from the main verse is pretty clearcut.

Born to push you around
You better just stay down
You put away
He hits the flesh
You hit the ground
Maps so fulls of lies
Tend to black your eyes
Just keep them close
Keep praying
Just keep waiting

Waiting for the one
The day that never comes
When you stand up and feel the warmth
but the sunshine never comes
No the sunshine never comes

Push you cross that line
Just stay down this time
Hiding yourself
Crawling yourself
You'll have your time
God I'll make them pay
Take it back one day
I'll end this day
I'll spread the color on this grave

Waiting for the one
The day that never comes
When you stand up and feel the warmth
but the sunshine never comes
No the sunshine never comes

Love is a four letter word
And never spoken here
Love is a four letter word
Here in the prison
I suffer this no longer
I put it into
This I swear!
This I swear!
The sun will shine
This I swear!
This I swear!
This I swear!

I think its "mouths so full of lies"
Seems to fit in a little better.


Anyone else REALLY looking forward to the music video to this one!!!:D
Should be interesting!!

That's what I thought it was too???? I think the video has a war setting, which is why an earlier poster brought up "One". The video should be on Youtube shortly, I'd say.

I'm goin to listen to this f**ker again.

Mental Mickey

I think he says somethin like "I'll splatter colour on this grave"...?

A little starter in the right direction for those not in possession of an uber ear-to-hand gift when it comes to noodling on the trusty axe

also, for those in neeed of simplification of chorus:

A5 G5 E5 C5addG


oh, it is all in standard EADBGE tuning also.

The treble/middle/bass settings are funny ..... I think there maybe a strat/telecaster in there somewhere, cos I can't seem to dial down to the level of treble across any of my gear

ven0m

Working on figuring out the bass at the min ...... there's def. some 5string in here

suckslikeafox

F*ck me, its fantastic. Not incredibly fantastic but better than anything from the black album onwards. 3 thumbs up:D

nowuckenfurries

Fupping excellent stuff......Welcome back Metallica!! Can't wait to hear the full album now!!

ven0m

ok bassline is fairly tidy on this one, not as much fun as the Cyanide bass parts - but still, you'll have fun any bass players out there. I can see potential for the 8/8 section in it for aspiring finger-thrashers of the 4 or 5 string beasts to go abso-frickin-lutely mental LOL

my fingers hurt like a mofo now :-(

lord lucan

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

i am well and truly impressed. i thought cyanide was excellent and now having heard this i'm well and truly stoked about the new album. interesting that a lot of non-metallica fans seem to be liking this.

Then dont try to re write it, or if you do make it interesting...they came close with the last two minutes, but even then parts are just well....meh.

I for one dig this song. Why is everyone obsessed with Metallica playing at 1000 mph all the time. What's wrong with a little variation?? Never killed anyone did it??

nothing wrong with variation, as long as its a good song. this isnt.

The first 5 minutes awful?? You're taking the p*** aren't ya?? That's where all the lyrics are, ferchrissakes.

yep. lyrics. yep. still awful. the only thing likeable about this song are the maidenesque harmony guitars (not the one at the beginning, they sound more like a metallica wannabe band trying and failing....and i've heard a lot and been in a few in my time)

NOTHING in this song made me go :eek: or
metalica are not "back" their production has just improved (which wasnt hard)

Ah, well.............there's always "One"(boom boom).:rolleyes:

sad....but true. (dadum tish)

SirLemonhead

It's a bit of a snorefest

At least Hammetts playing resembles what he could do in the 80s..

adox

Only had one listen but first impressions are good. really liking it.
Also the snare drum doesnt sound like a biscuit tin this time.

V9

I think its very good, looking really forward to the rest of the album now

Meh, nothing outstanding IMO. Change the band name and I doubt most people would give a rats arse.

Excellent stuff! Ive been a fan since '94 and its good to hear an opening single from a new Metallica album sound like a heads up to the old days!
