Better than the album version.

[@mitchbuchannon6637]

Banging your head against a wall is better than the album version

[@SantiagoAQA]

@@mitchbuchannon6637 Don't get me wrong I like St.Anger, there are very good songs on the album but in this case I like it better because of what kirk adds.

[@NothingButAPeanut]

@@mitchbuchannon6637It's because most people will only ever hear the compressed CD version where the compression only accentuates (in a bad way) the particular drum sound on this album. If you listen to the vinyl you'll change your mind. It sounds great and has great dynamics. As a side note, I had a similar experience with Tool's Fear Inoculum. CD just wasn't enjoyable to listen to, harsh. Now, vinyl totally different story.

[@mitchbuchannon6637]

This songs is badass. I don´t care what metalheads say.

[@chrisbayer6467]

I know people hate this album but I love it for that raw feeling

[@NothingButAPeanut]

They hate it because they've only been exposed to the overly compressed CD version where the drums do sound like they were recorded in a can. Get yourself a vinyl version, different experience altogether.

[@matinmirnaghibi5846]

If only the actual album was like this it would have been one their best

[@robertcompton22]

This live version is 1,000,000 times better then the album version

[@adamdunbar8260]

When you don't know it's from St. Anger you are not pre destined to hate on it. That poor album gets so much shit but with a live performance there are some good songs there.

[@coling657]

The best backup vocals I’ve ever heard from KH. I might be in the lesser numbers here, but I actually like St. Anger, especially Dirty Window! Love the reaction and analysis as always!

[@michealedwards7849]

Not a bad song but a bit to repetitive for me, like the whole album.

[@Wither81]

The song is great on the album and this live one is great because people that dislike the album version warms up to it with this performance.

[@lilojoekool1132]

If you do listen to the studio album... Be prepared? I like it, but it took a bit of time for me to get to that point thanks to Lars Ulrich.

[@scottiiiejames]

Was waiting for you to say “it feels… frantic” 😂

[@adrock1011]

This is metallicas best system of a down song

[@athlonen]

This song was the best track on that entire album. The album didn't resonate with a lot of people (read: everyone), but this was the best track in my opinion on the album. What got everyone was that the band followed the Nu-Metal trend and went Drop C tuning then down 2 steps from that; everyone was hoping Metallica would breathe some life back into metal at that time, especially after S&M, but one easily could have replaced the band with Korn or Sevendust and it would have sounded the same. It was the lack of solos and the drop C tuning that threw everyone off. But this track stood out, as I could easily see Cliff playing something like this, and it shows. And the phrasing you're looking for (and I'm going by ear as well) is flat 6, 5th, 4th, 5th. Like playing a G/B, then going to B5, then E, then back to B5. your root note stays at B, but your other finger goes from G to F# to E, back to F#. something similar to that.

[@MBx19v]

To be fair, this resonated with me when it came out, I was 13 and angry with everything and everyone. This album played loudly summed up my confused teenage angst, plus it pissed my mother off no end played as loudly as I did. Still enjoy it now too.

[@athlonen]

@@MBx19v Welcome to how every teen in the 80s felt and did the same thing with Kill 'em all, Ride the Lightning, Master of Puppets, and And Justice For All!

[@suquartzishaluzak3323]

Hello David. Let me explain to you the relationship of fans and the St.Anger album. The album, production/sound wise, is actual shit. Like for real, shit. The album was rightly hated, however, the songs despite being not that great on the album, were surprisingly amazing live. And the album, while it still gets a lot of hate, it has become this somewhat a weird classic of Metallica? If I could say it like that? For example, as you saw now, Frantic and St.Anger songs got a lot of play during 2018/2019 tours, All Within My Hands acoustic version is now the main version, even played in S&M2 Live Album, and it sounds MILES and LEAGUES better than the album version. And since 2022, Dirty Window song from the St.Anger album has now become a fixture on Metallica setlists. Like I said... St.Anger has now become this sort of weird classic of an album for the Metallica fans. Like yeah... it's shit, but live these songs sound actually legit amazing. (I personally don't mind the production, the album singing and the studio song versions, but I look at music objectively myself so I won't fully defend it). If you decide to listen to the studio versions... be prepared. You'll then understand. But just keep in mind, that the studio versions may be shit, but the live renditions are a whole different story. Hell, people got stoked and excited like hell when that red St.Anger fist appeared live on the screen behind James and the gang, and suddendly you heard Frantic or St.Anger live.

[@brunomunoz467]

As some people have already said, the st anger is in a weird classic spot, that on album sounds terrible, but live it sound really fcking amazing for some strange reason, luckily they made a whole album playthrough live on studio so usually people go to those live sesions if they want to actually enjoy the album, because dear god the album production makes And justice for all and Death magnetic sound like they have godlike production.

[@brunomunoz467]

Also fun fact, James Hetfield always says "here's something from your favorite album" when they're about to play anything from the st anger album live

[@Megacooler96_]

The song is one if like a couple that's actually good from the album but St. Anger is still the worse album from them yet.

[@LP004]

People don’t like this album, and understandably, but I really dig it, the snare may sound like a tin can, there may be no solos and the production may be lacking, but the rawness and feel of the album really mirrors what the band was going through at the time, it’s a rough listen at first but over time you can get used to and appreciate it.

[@Gilly-bean]

Now we'll see if David really doesn't listen to the lyrics.

[@THEDavidHeretic]

I don't.

[@PeteOliva]

These lyrics aren't exactly poetry but "my lifestyle determines my death style" is a pretty nice line to ponder. 🤘🏼

[@Gilly-bean]

@@THEDavidHeretic Yeah, you really don't :)) The lifestyle and deathstyle line didn't register at all. Their St. Anger album is pretty significant in that the backdrop of the recording sessions is a tumultuous therapy (with a psychotherapist and all) that doesn't even work on the band. James went to rehab at some point. The lyrics or some of them come from Kirk in this song ( my lifestyle determines my deathstyle). There aren't many solos in the album if any at all. - which pissed off Kirk to no end- There is a whole documentary of it, takes you to the band from the start of Jason leaving until Rob getting chosen. The live versions of St. Anger songs tend to be better.

[@brettsaucedo]

@Pete Oliva Kirk wrote that lyric and James said when people would talk to him about the album, that's the lyrics they would mention 🤘

[@jymzhetfield5420]

I have all Metallica albums, and this would’ve been one of the greatest one if not cuz of bob rock he completely destroyed that álbum production sucks big time, this is the album I listen the less not cuz I don’t like it but because of the sound, I wish they do a remake and sound like this one, great reaction!, ty Dave!.

[@saikitng1295]

Interesting to note: the’re actually playing (in the studio and live) in drop C

[@kdm2234]

would love to hear a quick follow up after you listen to the album version

[@andrewvidmar3488]

this is one of my favorite songs by metallica probably top 5 it is amazing first time i heard was in 2003 in an episode of the tv show smallville when clark kent robs a bank in the season premier at the beginning of the episode i was hooked for it from then on please let me know what you think

[@paulalloyd8860]

I liked One. But stopped listening after that. I didn't like Enter Sandman and Nothing Else Matters. This song is good. Do you ever write off bands after a few songs you don't like?

[@KevinDurbin]

Well, they are the kings of transitions ya' know.............

[@robertcompton22]

It was the drums on the album to much TANG on the snare, of course my two comments are my opinion of course

[@joelsimpson5449]

Live versions of these songs from st. Anger are way better than the album. They should remaster the st anger album and get rid of that damn snare

[@markpaweena781]

With original release there was rehersals DVD that came with it. Sounded better than the album. Good songs just janky tones recorded

[@obud3777]

Simple, but very well done!

[@danw4490]

Too bad this was the only good song on the album, in my opinion. Great reaction!

[@everlast22]

Diff variation but same notes.. it's tuned drop C

[@Elintasokas]

I enjoyed your analysis. Good insights and not just "wow, bruuuuuh this song is da bomb!"

[@THEDavidHeretic]

That's one of the main reasons I started this channel. I wanted to have a reaction channel that was different. Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@oscardiggs246]

St Anger has some really good writing on it, but there are a lot of odd missteps. It's as if you had a band on the edge of breaking up, with members who were afraid to go "Yeah, that part sucks, let's take it out." All Within My Hands has one of the best riffs they've ever done. My World and Dirty Window are both great songs. I don't really dislike anything on the album except Invisible Kid, which I hate with the fire of a thousand suns. So many great moments on the album. That said, the production (or lack thereof) is horrendous. And the snare sound looms over everything making sure that it can't sound good.

[@frankcanini]

This live performance does the song a lot of justice. The album version makes me cringe.........this is at least tolerable.

[@renejensen7799]

It helps when the St. Anget album songs is played live, then there is some pretty good songs to go for, just to bad the studio recordings on this album, got a sound i dislike.. would this song be on a later Metallica album, with another studio sound, i think i would love this song a lot more, but yes here it works great..

[@Athanais157]

I have seen this one, St. Anger and Dirty window live. And live they are all great🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@ben1ben]

So have you listened to the studio version on st anger? what do you think?

[@THEDavidHeretic]

I haven't listened to it yet, because I don't want to ruin any potential reactions.

[@ben1ben]

@@THEDavidHeretic ah alright good to know

[@Outlawtorn3711]

St. Angers songs always sound better live cause the snares aren't tin trash cans lol

[@jman9838]

James made a huge mistake after the first chorus like it was the second 😂

[@Drescher1984]

Pretty sure Rob plays mostly 5 string bass

[@yuritesticoff1141]

Harrumph

[@THEDavidHeretic]

HARRUMPH!!!

[@hardcorechristopher9174]

Great

[@jochencooper2751]

All this newer Metallica you're digging eh, who would of thought it

[@erkkapehto9125]

The riff is flat 5 - minor third - root - fourth

[@Dkeene86]

I always liked st anger. It wasn't AMAZING but it was better than load and reload. It was angry. Which is something only Slayer can still really pull off. And they retired. So....

[@ExileOnDaytonStreet]

A lot of St. Anger is a mess, but I honestly think this song live shows how much better it would've been if they weren't on their "barely produced" kick at the time. Given some meat on it's bones (and a snare), you can see where this song continues on the sort of "groove metal" that Metallica was treading in in the late 90s. That swing (especially in the half-time sections) really gives the song a bounce that makes it lots of fun. The lyrics and vocals are still below what we expect from James, though.

[@Metal-up-your-azz]

First off if you’ve never heard this song… you should cut your hair…
