Chugging Great
I saw Metallica the once at The Freddy Mercury Tribute
Concert and they were playing Nothing Else Matters as we entered Wembley Arena – late – and it was
mesmerising. Other than this I am no particular fan but love it when I hear
them, and I couldn’t name or recall a single track on their album Load that
precedes this subsequent reworking of outtakes and similar that didn’t make the
initial one. So there is no baggage, expectation or whatever and thus I love
this too, opener Fuel chug-chugging
brilliantly, second The Memory Remains
graced by the gravel beauty of Marianne Fairthful, and third as I listen now Devil’s Dance simply superb in more
grinding chug and guitar-with-effects effects. Hetfield growls to the rhythm of
the riffs and more chugging, and there are other vocal complexities that
enhance the heavy template. The Unforgiven
II broods and builds in its balladic brilliance. Carpe Diem Baby says it all as a title. And so on, everywhere. Looking forward to the next album I decide to listen to.
