Product Reviews


Ehh... so so...

Metallica certainly spark a strong opinion from all metal fans, be it positive or negative. Either way, there's no denying that this looks fantastic in Blu Ray, with crisp visuals and the impressive stadium/amphitheater in Nimes to boot.

Most of the classics are aired (One, Master of Puppets, Enter Sandman, Seek and Destroy), a few songs from 'And Justice...' which I personally loved (Dyers Eve, Blackened, Harvester of Sorrow) and a fair chunk of the 'take it or leave it' material from Death Magnetic - which, depending on your personal taste are worthy or, my case, skippable. I will say that the likes of 'Broken, Beat & Scarred' and 'The Day That Never Comes' don't stand out like a sore thumb live like a lot of the old Load/Reload material did - but still, I'd much prefer any of these to be replaced by 'Damage Inc' or the sorely missed 'Battery'. But, of course - this is their tour for Death Magnetic, not their Master... Anniversary shows.

For me personally, Hetfield's vocals are too clean and polished these days, and he just sounds weird singing some of the old school gnarly lyrics in pitch perfect looking like an old grey man - I can't take what he sings seriously. Gone are the snarled growls, replaced by cleanly sung, vocal coached purity. At times, it's almost as if they're covering another bands songs - a band that were vital, exciting and fresh. I suppose they've been a pastiche of themselves for some years now though. Adding little vocal changes that sound like they're off Load to the likes of Master of Puppets is just blasphemy, not to mention Kirk's ongoing annoying insistance of ad-libbing or changing most of his solos - but hey, they're their songs - they can mess 'em up as they see fit I guess.

Anyhow - this is certainly worth watching for the older stuff - excellent visuals, and a fairly good performance overall.
