New Metallica Instrumental

[Hahninator]

I was listening to my favorite radio station...Project 961 here in Atlanta right before 6 and they said coming up at 6 they were playing a new Metallica instrumental they just got. They got it today in the mail and I this is the first time they've played it.

 

It's an instrumental for an All-Star Tribute they did. I won't ruin it for you, so check it out yourself. I'm not the biggest Metallica fan but I think it's actually pretty fucking sweet.

 

I ripped it from the radio and got Chris (the DJ) talking before and after about it, so you'll know exactly what's going on.

 

Check it out and post feedback here.

[Chris]

Yep, thats me who's talking lol.

 

Thats a cool song. The beginning is awesome but after the 3 minutes it gets too much improvised

[Hahninator]

lol. I love the intro The first minute or so is pretty sweet. One of the best Metallica intros I've heard after Fade to Black.

This isn't really new. This cover was performed on a double live album, S & M, with a string symphony. And it was much better on that from what I remember. It's definitely a cover of a composed piece, so this particular version without the backing symphony seems undercooked and wanky sounding. Kinda like a 15 year old kick at guitar center trying to showoff the latest riffs he learned from a song.

[Chris]

Yeah, the S&M was fucking awesome.

[GraDoN]

i dont like this kinda music... but the intro is awesome

[Peterdea]

fairly good intro,

as it gets into the song i like it more and more.

[GraDoN]

Actually, it IS new Metallica. Theyve recorded it, and they havent played it on S&M. The orchestra played it.

[Friðbjörn]

it's not new material, it isn't even metallica material, and they played it along with the orchestra on s&m

[Chris]

Well.. im listening to it right now and im not hearing a James, a Lars nor a Kirk. The orchestra played it. You can hear and see them coming on the stage at about 2:05.

[Friðbjörn]

and don't they play on the rest of the track?

[Chris]

and don't they play on the rest of the track?

Nnnope. They play 'The Call of Ktulu' after that.

[Friðbjörn]

ahh okay, thanks for clarifying

[Toxic1]

They've been playing this song cover for a long long time as an opener to their gigs. This is not new stuff........

I had the same impression, the intro is pretty cool, and then it goes into, as you mention, a 15 year old kid at guitar center trying to showoff the latest riffs he learned from a song. Overall its pretty cool for a listen or so, but then you realize its nothing special.

It is new stuff. The intro they play during their gigs is a tape thats playing. Just watch the intro on youtube during Rock am Ring 2003.

Ok......they have definitely played this from a tape of the actual orchestrated piece as an inro, but it seems like I've heard them actually cover it on a gig I had on mp3 from the past. Anyhow........I don't really care for their full band recording of it.
