Metallica Unreleased song from Death Magnetic.

[Ckackley]

I was watching some videos from the recording of "Death Magnetic" earlier today . The guitar tones they had in the studio were phenomenal. Especially Robb's bass tone. However it seems that when the final album got mastered they compressed the living shit out of everything and sucked the good parts of the guitar tone away. Seems this track suffers from the same issues. It's not a bad song at all in my opinion. Hell , lyrically for every "Master of Puppets" the band had they had something like "Trapped Under Ice" or "Don't Tread on Me".. Goofy lyrics and Metallica kinda go hand in hand. Still some of the best Rhythm guitar playing ever..

its an okay song. i heard it on youtube. I had the album and hated it. Traded it for Van Halen 1984. Hopefully the new album will be better, Lulu or the newer one theyre working on.

Correct. Check out the unmastered songs off of Death Magnetic. The mix's were sent to Activision for Guitar Hero instead of the mastered songs, those fucker's sound so much better.

Wow. It's hard to believe they would allow such a shit mastering job to go through.

The worst part of that is everyone involved in the production/mastering keeps passing the buck and saying "well it wasn't MY fault!" It just seems like none of the engineers had the guts to stand up and actually tell the band (who technically produced because Rick Rubin did pretty much nothing) that it would sound better without taking part in Loudness Wars. I still basically blame Lars. Even the Guitar Hero remasters don't sound all that much different, but they almost make it listenable.

I actually rather liked this, surprisingly enough!

Here's another unreleased track:

 

[thedarkoceans]

Please Metallica,GIVE ME YOUR DIEZELS. NOW.

 

[ArtDecade]

Not bad, especially when considering the four letter word that recently came from their camp.

I see what you did there...

Here's another unreleased track:

SUCK ON THE BARREL SUCK ON THE BARREL

catchy vocal rhythm. some fairly stock riffs in parts. but it's not bad, and they always play with such CONVICTION.

 

[Sephiroth952]

Wow, that actually sounded really good. Really the only complaint I have for DM ((Beside the shitty ass production)) Was that most of the solo's sucked ass, that one sounded pretty descent and do I dare say thought out. And the lack of over bearing wah was very welcome.

 

[MJS]

Needs more Lou Reed.

 

[BobbyBaja]

Dunno about anyone else, but on Just a Bullet Away, I noticed two things...

1. Lots of Mastodon influence (least in a few spots in my opinion).
2. Dear god James can write some mean solos.

 

[Razzy]

Needs more Grandpa Simpson.

Fixed.

 

[DLG]

THERE'S ONLY ONE KING AND IT'S NOT ELVIS!!!!!!

 

[Kwirk]

Not bad. Not bad at all. James' leads are pretty awesome. I'm assuming that's also him noodling at the end of Hate Train. Also, the drums during the second half of the Just a Bullet Away section/chorus are kind of annoying.

Cant view these at work, but I liked Death Magnetic, even though the production was shit...like stated bove the guitars sound over compressed or something....say what you want about the album but i think the black album had the best guitar tone

 

[kaffefilter]

You can definitely tell why these songs were left out. The arrangements are a bit so-so, and the drumming is mostly sub-par even for Lars. But after a few listens, I have to say they're kind of growing on me. Brings me back to 2008 and the excitement over new material in the Mission Metallica videos. Good times

 

[Gamma362]

The best one out of the 4 released is just a bullet away. its the most coherent of them, really wish it was included on Death Magnetic instead of my apocalypse. Really love the vocal delivery in the song

 

[Omarfan]

I like Hate Train a lot in the studio, even if it runs a little long. Does anyone else feel like the main riff is copped from Fuel though? Or Through the Never? Or like a hundred other Metallica songs actually?

I also like how they mention that this is unmastered, left in the mixes that were set before they were scrapped from DM, and they sound way better than DM. Loudness war LOL.
