Metallica

[Cornfed Hick]

The playing was bad too, they butchered it. I had to go listen to the original to clean my ears.

I appreciate the effort, but until Rob started singing, I'm not 100% sure I would have deciphered that this was "Killers".

Can we get this Metallica back. OK thanks

^ Or maybe I would, but it wouldn't be a fist in the air, for sure.

Hitting people is not nice.

Metallica (well, Kirk and Rob) played ''Killers'' - ouch. James should have done it.

That was painful to watch. Thankfully I decided to give the gig a miss!

The Kirk and Rob jam is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever seen at a show, much less a show of that scale. “Hey, let’s let these guys barely learn a new song each night and then perform it with no drums like a bad coffee house cover band.” I’d literally rather watch a Lars drum solo.

I think when they do a folky sing song type thing it can be ok*, but when the try and play a real song it's painful.

*still it would be better without it at all.

Be careful what you wish for.

It really would be better and even more enjoyable. His drum solos in the late 80's and 90's were decent.

 

[Mosh]

I wouldn’t wish a drum solo on even my worst enemies.

 

[Black Wizard]

Drum solos are extremely tedious. I don't think I've ever enjoyed one.

The only drum solo I ever enjoyed was Neil Peart, because he kept the manic flashy stuff to a minimum and switched kits three times, while playing along to triggered jazz instruments/songs.

I was about to say pretty much the same thing.

 

[The Flash]

I enjoy drum solos, personally, as long as they don't go on for too long. Most are overlong and tedious though, I agree.

 

[THESEVENTHMARINER]

I remember looking back on Gojira's set at Bloodstock last year, a few weeks after. I totally forgot there was a drum solo, I had to ask my mate whether there was one. So either I was very drunk, or I find drum solos so forgettable that my brain blocks it out.

On the topic of Rob and Kirk's noodle, I think they're a waste of time. At the Manc gig on Tuesday, they played a Stone Roses song, and it was definitely the de-facto interval by the amount of people going to the bar or for a piss. They could have chucked in another song, I was hoping for Thingy personally

Some misunderstanding seems to have occurred - I only meant the finger.

 

[karljant]

Rob's playing is decent (although different from the original)... everything else is a disaster

Making rude gestures is not nice.

Playing Killers so bad is not nice
