Do I really want to suffer these bands just to listen to Ride the Lightning live. Nah, I'll stick to my local tribute band Alcoolica for that thanks.

Cliff would surely be happy about getting associated with this kind of lineup.

Never doubt about [Metal?]lica's ability to embarass themselves more. "Lulu" wasn't enough. They're always reaching for lower levels.

I wonder whose definition of 'cool' they used when describing the bands in this line-up? Metallica sure seem active (and not in a positive way) in recent months: Lulu, Beyond Magnetic, 3D film announced, this... not like they're short of cash or anything...

Awful lineup.. they're playing the black album in full at Download too which I'm less than pleased about. I'd much rather have ride the lightning live, or just a normal setlist of their career.. oh well.

Written by Unhealer on 09.02.2012 at 04:15 Lars could never do it - he needed help recording it in the studio, how can he be expected to play it 24 years later in a live setting? Still, one can dream...

Written by Arcticus on 09.02.2012 at 04:29 Yeah, Lars has run out of fuel, but he can pull off an "average" version of the songs. They do play all the songs from the album on their rotative setlists (except for "Frayed Ends" and "To Live is to Die", but the later was played on their anniversary so...) so why couldn't he do it in a row?

Written by Unhealer on 09.02.2012 at 04:38 That would be too much... and, quite possibly, too boring. That's just why for basically all of the '90s they only played One and Sorrow
