[@underscoreisnotvalid]

Hands down their most underrated song. Also Lars' drumming was really damn good in this. He was REALLY feeling the groove

[@WhoisVinnie]

And the vast majority never knew they tuned down this much

[@MrParkerman6]

@underscoreisnotvalid *Lars's, fucking dumbass. You still have to put an s after the apostrophe on an S word,.fucking dipshit.

[@DANCEDWAT]

I'd like to hear this live, but... trim the fat. I think the unneccessary song lengths are worse than the snare sound on this album.

[@dasse1588]

Had a burnt copy and Yes was dissatisfied with with album at first, liked the heaviness but no melodic classic ‘tallica guitar solos ?? but smoking at a mates place one day he whacks this DVD in and I must admit ‘watching’ the album brought a whole new perspective and appreciation for this album...

[@relevantbrother8964]

That fill at 3:12 is amazing by Lars. The way the song allows space for each instrument is incredible. Rob's bass is huge and the rhythm guitars are just in the pocket. What a groove..

Lar’s drumming is fantastic in this song!🤘

I don't know why, but Lars' "St. Anger" snare really fits this song in particular.

St. Anger was kick ass. Screw what anyone else says.

[@doktorhund6926]

the cd mix is muddy and annoying. This here however is much much better. I dont know what it is exactly but the album sounds either right in your ear or as if they are standing in a cave.

[@Spaggot]

@@doktorhund6926 The drums are way too loud, so i turn it up to hear the guitar and i end up hurting my ears from the drums. The guitars in the in-studio videos do have a much more thrashy tone than the record for some reason

[@jaks.stealer]

love this song so much and the whole st anger album. its so great they tuned a new sound, guitars and drums( love that snare a lot), for this masterpiece record

[@coledurbin2610]

To me, this album really showed Lars' drumming abilities more than any other album. And I have to say, while the snare sounds like you're dropping rocks into a truck bed with no bedliner, it's not a terrible album in hindsight

[@buttoxchewy]

Imo justice was his peak, but st anger is a close second, absolute beast on both albums. Maybe he needs to be in rough times to be a machine ? 😂

soundgarden and kings X had this same kind of snare sound on their albums..

[@allenbass6169]

I agree. His drumming is very good on this album. I don't think the work he did on Justice was as good as this. They made it to where the drums stood out with that album. Not on this one. He flat out killed it.

[@elvissorna8861]

In my opinion this record has a very punk-like garage rock quality to it. as for the snare sound, I know it's hated by most but I don't think it would have that raw aggression without it.

[@doktorhund6926]

Its way better Here then on the Album where it dominantes the Mix way too much.

I agree I have always oddly loved this album. But it came out when I was a pissed off teenager so lol 😂

[@Easun36]

I fully agree.

[@jaks.stealer]

that snare kicks ass a lot. not hated by me at all, but quite the opposite

[@tylerfrisco]

This album is literally just Nu-Metal mixed with garage rock. There’s nothing wrong with it. It’s just the old heads that hate because it’s not their old stuff.

[@Kvd791]

Rob's and Lars' hug at the end just melts my heart.. Just like they are real brothers ;)

[@hellraiser6766]

I don't see why this album is hated, its not their best, but to my opinion its a heavy album, and its deep about anger and depression

[@MrParkerman6]

The snare drums and James voice are out of tune, and most of the riffs are boring.

[@veteran_of_pain]

it was an experiment that surprise a lot of long time fans, and attracted a lot of new fans as well. guitars in this entire album are hardcore rock, flirting with the metal tuning at the time. can't help but to grit my teeth, in a good way when I put this album on lol

[@fuckamericanidiot]

It's hugely flawed but it's honest, ballsy, cathartic and way more interesting than the Load years, that was the nadir for Metallica and St Anger had to happen.

[@OlviMasta77]

[@daveskritterkingdom]

Why have they never played this live? This is a great song!

[@jackdanielteasdale598]

it's in Drop Ab, no one wants to bring an extra guitar each for just one song.

[@wob6776]

Although the tuning is a part of it, they have brought extra guitars for singular songs I believe (All Nightmare Long in Drop D maybe?). I think a bigger part is just that St Anger wasn't a very popular album and they seem hesitant to play anything from that era besides Frantic and the title track. They'll have to do it someday though.

[@paradigmshiftz7]

@@wob6776 they play all e standard and drop d songs down a half step to reduce the number of guitars to bring live (and allegedly because it makes them "heavier") so live, All Nightmare Long is played in c#.

[@wob6776]

@@paradigmshiftz7 As far as I know they just play everything down a half step, not because less guitars but because it's easier on James's voice. For example they still play Eb songs down a half step like The God That Failed which they do in D now. That makes me think they aren't concerned about number of guitars

[@CoTeCiOtm]

Normally they use two tunings when playing live, Eb standard and D standard (mainly for Sad But True), whenever they perform The Thing that Should Not Be, they use C# standard. St. Anger is the only album from Metallica in which they play actual drop tunings, drop C for most of the album, drop C# for Dirty Window (although they performed it in drop C when they played it live, including this Rehearsals DVD), drop G# for this song and drop A# for The Unnamed Feeling.

One of my top favorite Metallica songs. This song gives Iowa's Slipknot a run for their money with their new guitar tuning within this song, and complete album. Such surprising rhythm guitar riffs all through this song. Drop tuning was a genius idea to stick with for this album. Hands down perfection in my opinion. Is there some sort of contest to apply for to be able to jam with James for a couple hours? No offense to Kirk, but if he wanted to sit in on the session with his guitar, that would be killer as well lol There HAS to be a way for a small Canadian island rock/metal guitarist from the east coast to request or apply to rock out and Jam with his guitar idol??
