Metallica - St. Anger but it's 23% more angry

I LOVE ST ANGER - it's my favourite Metallica album! People keep trying to "fix" this song / album by dampening the snare drum and adding solos, and if I'm being honest they're scrubbing away everything that makes Metallica's Magnus Opus different and impactful.

St Anger is an influential hardcore record, and I hope this cover helps show that! The drums are obnoxious. The guitars are flubby. The master is kinda overcooked. And it's rad BECAUSE of those things, not in spite of them. Y'all trying to turn a bona fide hardcore album into a palatable metal album just because "metal" is in the band's name??? smh. My punk soul weeps for your soft metal ears xoxo

[@toddbarriage]

KZbin IS WHACK BUT FRIENDS ARE FOREVER THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO MY STUFF AND BEING YOU

Hahaha, as the band who dampened the snare and added solos to St. Anger, I agree that none of those things "fix" St. Anger. The first time I heard St. Anger, it was what got me into Metallica, because it was exactly what my angry soul was looking for all those years ago. And yet, most of Metallica's fans didn't appreciate it for what it was and just wanted another Master of Puppets or Black Album. Our version was more like a "what would it have sounded like if someone took all of those gripes and actually addressed them" just to see how it would sound. It certainly came out sounding different (probably more like if St. Anger was on Hardwired), but we never claimed to have fixed that song; just reimagined. There have been some publications that claimed we may have fixed St. Anger, but I don't think anyone can truly capture all of the seething rage and bitter hatred Metallica were going through at the time and pour it into a track like that ever again the way they did. Not even Metallica could achieve that again.

[@toddbarriage]

OH HELL YEAH BRÖTHER 🖤 THANKS FOR CHECKING THIS OUT! JUST TO BE CLEAR THOUGH, A LOT OF WHAT I’M REFERENCING ARE THE VIDEOS ALL OVER KZbin AND INSTAGRAM THAT OFTEN LITERALLY HAVE (FIXED) IN THE TITLE. YOUR REIMAGINING IS COOL AS FUCK AND I’VE LISTENED TO IT FRONT TO BACK NUMEROUS TIMES. I EVEN BRIEFLY CONSIDERED RIPPING A SOLO FOR FUNSIES IN THIS VERY COVER UNTIL I REALIZED YOU’D ALREADY DONE THE PERFECT SOLO IN THE SAME SPOT I WAS THINKING OF BTW I REALIZE THIS IS A RIDICULOUS COMMENT FOR ME TO BE TYPING IN ALL CAPS BUT I ALREADY COMMITTED TO THE BIT I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND

@@toddbarriage Before we dropped our version, I was only aware of one guy who did a full re-recording of St. Anger back in 2015 which was mostly to address the production woes, but didn't address the writing/composition gripes that people still had. After ours dropped, tons of people wanted us to do that same experiment with every other song on the album, but we weren't interested in releasing "St. Fan Service" because then it really would be like we were trying to claim to have the superior version of St. Anger. Now it seems like everybody is out there trying to claim to have fixed the whole album themselves, so I can barely even keep track of how many versions are out there now, let alone all the ones you must've seen. BTW, if your next song is gonna be "Some Kind of Monster but 23% more monstrous" it better have 8-string guitars and a cookie monster Brutal Slam breakdown to live up to that claim! I'll be looking forward to great things in the future!

If people ever ask me if I'm a Metallica fan, I say no, not really, purely because the fact that they asked means they are the type to dislike St Anger. I really love St Anger as an album, I do like other Metallica stuff, but Some kind of Monster and St Anger just spoke to me as a youngster and I hate that it's considered not ok to like it by so called fans... Great version of the song man, keep it up! :)

[@ThorsShadow]

Metallica played at Rock am Ring in Germany in 2014. During the concert there was an online voting for them to play one of three songs. Near the end they stopped the voting. St. Anger had won by quite a margin. So they played St. Anger that day. I absolutely love that song and Some Kind of Monster. James said regarding the votes before they played it: "Yeah. It's an underrated song." With a sort of bittersweet pride and melancholy in his voice. It's unfair how much hate that song gets.
