Alright, time to finally drop a comment after watching this video easily a few hundred times. Even die hard Metallica fans probably don't realize this is arguably James' best rhythm work ever. This song is insanely complicated, which is probably why they never played it live (or not until later and only by request). My sleeper hit from And Justice for sure. This is one of the best covers of all time: it is flawless and that's saying something because of the complexity.
@@cwmmetalthe whole song is confusing honestly. This one, ktulu and blackened really get me. I just don’t hear it right. It literally is the notes in between that fuck with me. I take solace in knowing Metallica didn’t want to play it because it was difficult
I think that's the point, mate. It's raw anger, pain, and hurt. It reflects right down to the mixing decisions, with how almost cold and 'metallic' this album sounds (especially without the bass). If you think about losing Cliff for context this album starts to make way more sense.
@drippy6941 If I remember correctly yes, but the Amp is not so important in these Tones, it's all about the Impulse Response - any of the free Metal Amps you can download should work as good
