Pity James was an absolute cock to Jason, seems like a genuine guy.

Jason was a very intense live presence for Metallica. He was way into what he was doing and he's still way into Metallica and he still goes to bat for them whenever the opportunity arises.

Here he is giving his opinion on whose name should really be on that bassist award at 2:43. Ballsy.

Love that song, seen them 3 times on the Black Album tour (The first one, indoor), and they actually opened with Roam in Manchester, great opening song thats rarely (if ever) used as one

Is this the ultimate "Spinal Tap" moment. Part concert movie part fictional feature file. Sounds hideous.

I think St. Anger is a great album, despite what everyone else thinks of it

I think it has 2-3 great songs, the rest are, to quote Lars, pretty stock

It's the lack of variation on St. Anger that really kills it for me. It is one long cacophonous ode to internal struggle. There's little there dynamically or tonally to let the album breathe and that's a big part of musical expression, particularly on record where those peaks and valleys can be put across even in loud rock music.

It's not a surprise that the band has, by and large, disowned St. Anger. It was very much made when the band was in a particular place that you don't want to be in for long and when you get out of it, you don't want to look back. Had they recorded an album in 2005 instead, it would have been markedly different.

Riddle101 · 28-05-2013 7:50pm

Believe it or not St Anger was the first Metallica album I ever bought. I was 13 and just getting into the music scene at the time. I heard St Anger and some older Metallica songs on tv and thought they were great so when I went to HMV St Anger was the only album they had in stock at that particular time so I decided to buy it. In all honesty its a good thing I had heard their older stuff before I bought it, because if I hadn't and that was my first time listening to Metallica, it could have killed my interest in them. The album had about 2 songs I liked, St Anger of course and the Unnamed Feeling. After that the rest weren't the rest of the album is pretty poor.

Love this song. Rare to find it a full live recording. Funny as well, when the crowd realise what song it is when the drums kick in.

For those who don't know this is the last song to contain a writing credit from Cliff, it just sounds so like him too

I'm sad now

I've always wondered how that song was classified as an instrumental when it clearly has lyrics(on the record) . Quietly spoken lyrics, yes, but lyrics nonetheless.

S*it, when you hear something like Dyers Eve, you realise what a band they are/were. AJFA, the last great Metallica album

Yeah riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. As soon as they get the $ thrown at them, they'll change their minds and do more shows.

I still laugh when I think of Kirk's comment a couple of years back about then having to keep touring because they need the money because there isn't as much to be made in album sales anymore. Like they're short of a few bob!

I suppose if Kirk Hammett lived alone in a nondescript 5 room bungalow in suburbia, you'd have a point, but the kind of lifestyle he enjoys has quite a lot of overhead and upkeep to be paid. How many properties does he own that need to be looked after? How many people does he pay to do so? Maintaining the typical aspects of wealth proves expensive! Rare horror memorabilia plus gold plated SUVs and Ivy League educations for the kids don't pay for themselves.

In the article it says only European FESTIVAL performance, so expect a couple of stand alone shows, also Roskilde ties in wit Lars annual home vacation
