The sad thing is that while Lars is still hated over the whole Napster thing, he was right. Musicians have lost likely billions since the digital revolution.

As much as I love the convenience of streaming music, the only reason people may buy albums now are either for collection or supporting the artist the old fashioned way... or just not using streaming services

[@TCubed12061]

@@disguyz709 streaming music is fine, streaming services pay artists a fee every time a song is played, so with hundreds of thousands of people streaming multiple songs multiple times, artists get paid plenty from streaming services, it's a win win for everyone, the napster thing was people straight up stealing music and the artists getting no money for it, if you put that much work into making good music you'd be pissed off too to have people getting it for free, I think it was just because the internet was such a new thing that people didn't think of it as stealing as much as it would be if you went into a music store and grabbed the record off the shelf and walked out without paying, nowadays I think it's clear that lars and metallica were totally in the right with that whole thing

[@TCubed12061]

@@disguyz709 also it's not hard to figure out, with some quick google searches it appears metallica had 1.1 billion streams of their songs on spotify alone, in just 2020, spotify pays about $0.003 a stream, meaning they made about 3.5 million dollars, thats only for spotify and only for a single year, throw in amazon music, pandora, youtube music, and apple music, and think about the fact that they get that every single year.... yea I'm sure they're cool with streaming services, and you shouldnt worry about using them

One of the ones he glossed over was "Kirk Hammett is Bisexual." Hammett stated it in a comedic manner during a show once so it could be taken as a joke but come on. Black nail polish and a horror obsession? All that weed?? There's no way the door only swings one way for that guy.

Metallica - Trapped Under Iceberg

[@thomasgardnernytm]

13:13 Allegedly, its in reference to the various demo recordings throughout their history where instead of singing actual lyrics, James would sing "wannananana" so he could figure out where he should and shouldn't sing. Lars thinks a lot about James' vocals, as stated in an interview talking about the process of Metallica covering music. I wouldn't doubt it if that same logic applies to when he posts something on insta with the # wanna. It shows how much Lars respects James as a longtime friend and creative partner. P.S. Dope vid BTW

Not a movie like Bohemian Rhapsody or The Dirt, a Pam & Tommy-kind of series depictioning everything from the death of James' mother/Lars Ulrich coming to America, up until modern day.

[@pop000690]

One entry I wish was on here was the fake story behind the All Nightmare Long Music Video. The fake story goes that Kirk got a random DVD from a fan in Russia, I believe, and that the mysterious footage became the music video for the song All Nightmare Long. In reality, it was planned from the get-go and animated by a visual effects artist who worked on a few horror movies such as Ring 2.

[@twistedsky_97]

In relation to 27:08, a British thrash metal band called Evile released a song as a tribute to a previous bass player they had because had passed away called In Memoriam, and a good amount of people thought that song was a Metallica song before finding out that wasn’t the case. You could find it as this or searching Metallica darkness, though now you’d see it right under the music video for If Darkness Had a Son

Guitar Hero Metallica - this one is not about the game itself. It was that the ripped tracks from the game were way better quality than the original ones for Death Magnetic (the DM tone drama).

[@QuakeGamerROTMG]

From memory it was also where we first got to hear some proper bass tracks for the Justice songs that were featured in the game

[@namikstudios]

They have since re-released Death Magnetic using the Guitar Hero tracks because they didn't have the terrible overdriven loudness. Sounds so much better.

Great video! Got to learn some more stuff about the band, and it reminded me of the mash-up band between Metallica and the Beatles called Beatallica. I can't rate how good their music is as I haven't listened to it, but I find the idea incredibly funny, and I guess check it out for yourself!

[@mrb740]

Zero evidence, BUT here's a legend that circulated BBS forums in 03-04: Supposedly, a music video was shot for For Whom The Bell Tolls back in 84 and intended to be shown on MTV as the lead single for Ride The Lightning. The band submitted the only existing copy of the video to MTV, but denied them the airing of the band's video on the grounds of limited commercial appeal. When the band asked for the copy of the video to be returned, MTV did not respond to this request. In turn, the band vowed to never make a music video nor to release a single for their future albums, which is why radio airplay for Master Of Puppets was little to none at all.

19:50 This is very cuestionable. There are several details on interviews that sugest that Kirk was "unavaible" during the writing process of HTSD. Lars explained that they have a vault of riffs, they collect all ideas, as a professional band should do and James was very sarcastic when asked about the subject. The same thing occured dured 72 seasons, where most of the record is composed by James.

I think the plot of through the never was to get the bag of Cliff, because in the truck, the only thing that was in there was a leather bag, like one from Cliff back in the 80's, that's one of the reasons the movie ends with Orion because he got the sheets of the song or something like that, is a funny movie, not that deep but funny

[@ComboNinja06]

13:07 my theory is because in songs for deluxe Metallica albums there’s like 2 or 3 songs usually labeled “from James riff tapes”. We’ll use shortest straw for example so it will be the drums bass and guitar of the song but for the vocals James will go wanawnananwan kind of imitating the guitar and then when it goes to the part of the song where he says shortest straw has been pulled for you he’ll say it then he’ll go back to the wannawan but that doesn’t explain why lars hashtags it in his posts so this is just a theory

[@MF-ng1qz]

I don't know if it's confirmed that Lars removed the snare from the drum, but I'm absolutely sure that it's clearly possible to hear it, even in the short piece at 9:28. It doesn't sound like than it's completely removed, it sounds more like the snare is put a bit further from the drum (might sound weird but the drummers should get what I'm saying). And the video following the clip is obviously a joke. And that's the thing why people don't like the snare drum in St.Anger. They don't even know what is going on and say things about it that (according to my hearing) are wrong. People don't even want to think about how the sound works and how it affects the songs. Even if you don't like the sound of the snare you have to admit that it's the perfect sound for that album. St.Anger songs with a ,,normal" snare sound shit af (yes, shittier than with the St.Anger snare). That said, I like St.Anger. It's a top 4 Metallica album for me. It sounds cool (different for sure, but not that bad), has nice songs, some very good riffs, a bass that you can actually hear (better than in every of the first 5 albums) and some great drum grooves. And I really don't care about the solos, Kirk Hammets solos are overrated as fuck and some bands like Gojira as an example don't need classic solos as well, and Gojira are great.
