Would the vinyl of Death Magnets be better mastered/no clipping than the CD, just due to the medium? Because if so, it's also probably possible to find a FLAC vinyl rip somewhere.

Not necessarily if it used a digital master, which is often the case with new vinyl pressings. My understanding is that the vinyl does sound better for Death Magnetic but that the gold standard is the "unmastered" stems from Guitar Hero.

Except those aren’t mixed, so any reconstruction of the album from those stems would be a fan mix at best. And presumably they’re 16-bit / 48KHz max.

As long as the source recordings themselves weren’t objectively brickwalled (which they weren’t), the 24-bit source recordings would have 256 times as much amplitude granularity as the 16-bit stems, which would give you a lot more information to work with if you needed to reestablish more dynamic range. This is the real advantage of an HD remaster.
 
The Mastered For iTunes version of Death Magnetic is a lot better than the CD/Vinly. The same mastering is also avaliable on Metallica's website as lossless downloads in different formats. I recommend it. I downloaded the MFIT version and burned it to a CD-R which I put in the Death Magetic jewel case and that is what I listen to now.

They could legitimately release this recording. The sound is absolutely great for a live recording.

I have never said this of any other band I love, but I really wish they'd stop releasing new original material and just make another Garage, Inc every 4-5 years. Their covers are better.

I agree, Metallica's covers are often better than their own originals. Especially better than anything they've done since MOP.
I do love Garage Days

A western with James Hetfield and Peter Dinklage? I've got to watch that :D
 
I just had an "ermilard I'm OLD," moment. One of my students (who is in his late teens early 20s), asked me if he could mis class on September 30th, because he was going to the Metallica concert in Mexico City (7 hr bus ride). I told him it was no big deal and at which venue it was going to be at. "Foro Sol," It just hit me. My FIRST concert was Metallica for the '99 Garage Inc. tour at Foro Sol. Holy crap, and they're still going. Seems like only yesterday.

Has Lars been fairly solid live recently or is it all edited?

Is he playing to a click?

He is playing to a click. Went to both Chicago shows and he sounded excellent; it’s not edited.

Speaking of not editing, they actually played the post-chorus riff in Battery! I swear they don’t normally do that; I seem to remember them always going straight into the solo after the second chorus.
