Metallica - C or D?

(the goal, as ever, is #onethread)

Kamasi Washington and band (large band — Thundercat's there, two extra percussionists, extra vocalists, etc.) debuted their version of "My Friend of Misery" at the Hollywood Bowl, with Kirk Hammett and Rob Trujillo sitting in.

all future music will have to live up to this standard

Speechless.

Banger.

hilarious

and weirdly good

I remember that scene from Star Wars 8!

And hey! I can hear the bass!

Is this a late-era Queen song? Cuz it slaps

Buncha goofy Metallica-related videos making the rounds. Here's one:

(Don't know why some of these kids lead with the punchline, but whatever)

Here's another:

Ok, worth it once I got to No. 25.

That different singing voices guy is quite entertaining, though he's definitely better at some than others.

the fuck? what's the solution, "the bus driver did it with the bus in the bus?"

are there other collabos coming out, like Vince Neil's Monopoly, where every space reads "Go Directly to Jail"?

Oh shit this is awesome
Do they have a monopoly too?

Pieces seem to be a microphone , a Gibson explorer, a wah wah pedal, a bass, a treasure chest and ?

Can’t make out who the other 2 player characters are but I don’t think they’re cliff or Dave. Too bad

The treasure chest is a snare drum. ? is a computer, possibly left over from Kraftwerk Clue.

Something else I’m overthinking: because Clue requires six characters and there are only four members of Metallica — dubbed Papa Het, Duder, Mr. Ripper, and Dr. Groove for the game — two completely random dudes have been added into the mix. One is “The Engineer,” who I assume is an engineer, and the other is “Col. William,” who… uh… I have no fucking idea who he’s supposed to be.

“Engineer” and “Col. William” is so Metallica tho

Should have made Peter Mensch and his batshit crazy anti-vax conspiracy theorist wife the other two characters.

Is the central mystery who killed Cliff?

so yeah, there's this big Metallica 40th anniversary weekend thing going on - 2 live shows from Chase Center, San Francisco etc

Master of Bedpans

enjoying the livestream tonight. lots of deep cuts early on

yeah, cool. Don't have Prime though, we'll see if they sell it somewhere else later on or something - https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/metallica/2021/chase-center-san-francisco-ca-1b8b35d4.html

I think it was available for viewing to anyone regardless of whether you're a Prime member or not. They're streaming the show tomorrow too FYI

I only caught the first half of the Friday show, but those early deep cuts were really nice surprises. "Trapped Under Ice" especially.

Both shows will be repeated on Prime soon, the latest release says.

Tonight's show was a bit underwhelming. Still cool to hear some choice Load cuts and a deep St. Anger cut

I've seen three Metallica shirts in the airport this morning, all worn by children.

And Naptime for All

is there a good Metallica biography out there?

me and playwright/performer TJ Dawe collaborated parodying this game in this goofy little article in Points in Case:

https://www.pointsincase.com/articles/metallicas-clue-and-other-metal-board-games

watching them now. kind of shaky, but James has been pretty self deprecating. even made a st. anger joke.

he did that when I saw them last year

I'm waiting for the moment where he lets the veil drop and he starts blaming people for songs/albums he supposedly retroactively doesn't like anymore, on stage.

"here's a piece of shit called King Nothing, which I wasn't gonna play but Kirk begged me to use one of his songs"

yeah, it's all very by the books tonight.

Lars puts in the most effort with the least results.

lol they used Stranger Things clips for "Master of Puppets."

his voice sounds really good though imo!

& i stan a sequined guitar hero love u kirk <3

Wow. I admit that I've always had the hardest time feeling the beat in the right place on Fight Fire with Fire, it's so fast and something about that riff with the accents on the upbeats, I always hear it flipped:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=407ZR9Wkyew

I also I was listening to an interview with Nate Wood, a ridiculous jazz drummer/bassist/guitarist and a true musician's musicians, and it was very satisfying to hear him express his unabashed Lars love.

I have that same problem with that song!

I was at that show, up in the rafters. When I heard the classical guitar intro piping in I went bonkers. Now I've Seen 'Em All - Fight Fire With Fire, Battery, and Blackened (2 times, and unfortunately my least favorite of the classic first tracks)

where's that ate Wood interview where he talks Lars? sounds interesting

*Nate Wood

Will they hang it up when Lars can't physically do the tours anymore, or will they use a replacement drummer?

please.

I've often wondered if Lars has been dealing with some sort of back issues over the years, I know it's showmanship of sorts, but he stands up at every given opportunity, perhaps he's trying to relieve some stress on his lower back or butt.

Here's the Nate Wood interview, starts comparing Lars to Elvin Jones at about 1:06.

Haha, I guess they won't - although I'm reading this was a one-off medical emergency kind of thing. Lombardo is no spring chicken himself anyway.
