I really like covers!
Also, Brad, "The Outlaw Torn" used to be one of my favorite Load tracks, though the 10:48 version on that one single was better.

It's Lady Gaga & her bff Lady Starlight at Lolla in 2010, reviving the "heavy metal dance break" they used to do together in clubs, to Metallica's Metal Militia
(ie strike a few poses & make a hairspray flamethrower)

(Bolded songs made the Top 25)
Favorite Album: Ride The LightningJump The Shark: Cliff Burton's Death
No covers placed so none of the covers I picked made the cut. The only Metallica original on my list which didn't make the top 25 was "Trapped Under Ice" which is unfortunate.
Still, this was fun!

I feel a bit bad not having voted for Unforgiven as it's the first Metallica song I loved - my friend played it for me on his Walkman at school and I was bowled over, I remember it very vividly. Huge moment in my music fandom. I still love the spaghetti western vibe on the choruses, but the verses are pretty ploddy really.

thanks for a GREAT pollout pplains, many laughs, fun posts
not sufficiently familiar w/ tallica's work to comment intelligently but that for whom the bell tolls live vid is amazing and reminds me of the live show I caught @ roskilde festival 2013 which was a funtastic riff-fest for 70.000 people and esp me and my friend airguitaring for hours in the front pit hammered drunk woohoo!http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/metallica/2013/festivalpladsen-roskilde-denmark-53d96f81.html
On a side not Lulu is what got me interested in metallica, and it helped turn me on to a lot of heavy metal, which is something I've really appreciated as a concertgoer since, attending doom festivals and thrash shows

Kinda want to address this. I think she would have been happy with the choice. We were headbangers. So like, I don't feel like any slight was done to the deceased. She didn't die from suicide, so the lyrics were off the mark, but I think we were all just 14-year-olds doing our best to cope. Still, I haven't had much taste for the song since.
Anyway, been watching so much backstage crap from these guys. Last night I googled up Year and a Half in the Life of Metallica to have on in the background while I was cooking dinner. Found a youtube that was an hour and a half long. That looked about right to me so I clicked play and went into the other room to start chopping up cucumbers. After about 10 minutes, I realize this ain't right so I go back to my computer to check it. It's the Year and a Half in the Life OUTTAKES REEL. A Year and a Half is just not enough for a diehard Metallica fan.

I might have shared this on ILM before, but I once had a dream that the Scissor Sisters did a cover of 'Escape' and it was a massive hit.
Did Escape get any votes?
― the joke should be over once the kid is eaten. (chap), Thursday, 9 July 2015 13:58 (eight years ago) link
"Escape" only got two or three votes, mine included.
Which is a shame because I had this one all booted up and ready to go for it.

I mean, hell, we've got a former member of Exodus here and everything.
Speaking of which, can't stop watching "Kirk's Birthday". I'm only now catching that Lars is not talking about some "A.C. Anderson" but "H.C. Andersen" - as in Hans Christan Andersen.
Never heard him referred to by his initials before. Like some dude complaining how we haven't hung any E.A. Poe posters up at his birthday party.
― pplains, Thursday, 9 July 2015 14:16 (eight years ago) link
People say E.A. Poe all the time in my experience, but I've never heard anyone say H.C. Anderson.

I loved Metallica up to and including 'Justice,' but dang what a fall from dizzying heights. I'm going to explore Robert Trujello's other bands today, 'cause I gotta believe he's a better fit elsewhere.

Hey that's great! Now I wanna hear funked up, Cyco-infused Metallica, but of course Lars has not one funky drummer bone in his body.

xpost in danish we don't say hans christian andersen we say h c andersen so that's prob why lars would say it like that in english - sounds better in danish though
― niels, Thursday, 9 July 2015 16:19 (eight years ago) link
what's it sound like in Danish and why just the initials? Asking only out of curiosity.

Ok, I hadn't noticed this before, but does anyone else hear something that sounds like someone saying "ooo" at about 0:27 in Creeping Death?
― how's life, Thursday, 9 July 2015 21:21 (eight years ago) link
pplains "h" is pronounced something like "hoe" so the initial aspiration makes for a nice name - "hoe cee andersen"
― niels, Friday, 10 July 2015 09:46 (eight years ago) link
no clue why the convention is to use the initials - why is it J K Rowling and J R R Tolkien? maybe similar explanation
― niels, Friday, 10 July 2015 09:50 (eight years ago) link
getting off topic, but this link has a recording of the danish pronunciation http://www.forvo.com/word/h.c._andersen/
― niels, Friday, 10 July 2015 09:52 (eight years ago) link
Thanks for the link.
Just never thought about names being commonly said in different ways like that. Pronounciation is one thing, but initials and format is another.
― pplains, Friday, 10 July 2015 12:15 (eight years ago) link
yeah me neither - but it's actually nice to know that the more common English version is the full name since every once in while Hans Christian comes up in touristy conversation for me, and "h" is such a clumsy letter to pronounce in english anyway
― niels, Friday, 10 July 2015 12:34 (eight years ago) link
Must've been why I thought Lars said "A.C. Anderson" at first.
― pplains, Friday, 10 July 2015 15:18 (eight years ago) link
But you should hear my Danish though. Makes St. Anger sound good.
was at the Brandenburg Gate for a few days so I missed most of the rollout

There was a vogue in British letters in the early 20th century to go by one's initials -- EM Forster, DH Lawrence, WH Auden, etc. -- which might explain JRR Tolkien. I dunno why that is, though, maybe the peculiarities of British naming conventions.
JK Rowling may have initially been to obscure her gender to be more marketable? Total speculation however, and we've seen how my speculative skills have panned out in this thread.
― :wq (Leee), Friday, 10 July 2015 16:32 (eight years ago) link
Always figure in the cases of J.R.R. Tolkien or W.E.B. Du Bois, it's that they've got too many names.
― pplains, Friday, 10 July 2015 18:23 (eight years ago) link
I'm serious you guys. Right there at about 0:27-0:28. There is an "ooooooh" and I can't unhear it. What the hell?

putting "Sweet Jane" on the spotify playlist in place of "Junior Dad" is pretty shitty imo

Is Lulu on Spotify? I couldn't find it.
― pplains, Saturday, 11 July 2015 01:22 (eight years ago) link
There's still a place in that version of "Sweet Jane" when James is roarin' "Suhweeeeet JANE!" that you realize, holy shit, not only is this Lou Reed singing this song with Metallica backing him, but they had such a good time doing it, they went on to make a sadomasochism record together and then he died.

Lulu's not on Spotify. i'm just saying i'd rather there be nothing representing its spot in the playlist than a replacement.
