Dude this was awesome!! I’d love to see a follow up for St. Anger!!

Jason always played dam good better than Robert who just flicks the strings when his fingers get cramped. I always use a guitar pick.

This analysis is well done, and if that Slagel guy really did say that to Jason, he was spot on. "Doomsday for the Deceiver" showed that Jason was very talented and creative. I'll never forget as a teen buying "...and Justice for All" the day it released. My buddy who played bass, started playing it, and we both said "where's the bass?" There are interviews by engineers that directly state that James and Lars told then to lower the mix of the bass to the point that it was barely audible. You can hear bass that doubles the rhythm guitar unless it is not mixed properly. Somehow James and Lars never outgrew their step-child treatment of Jason because he was not Cliff until it was too late. Jason was definitely stifled, and with every new album I looked for his name on the song credits. They did a remaster of "Justice" and his bass is still buried. I mean Kirk is very talented and he is diminished because James and Kirk were such control freaks. Now Rob enjoys being treated as an equal after James and Lars alienated Jason to leaving and not looking back.

St. Trash

I know it's cool to hate on St Anger and I get it, ppl who were Metallica fans when it got released probably still hate it out of spite and from the memory of it being shit, but I for one think that the lyrics to most of the songs on the albums are very poignant and relatable. Sure, the sound can at times make me cringe (ahem...All Within My Hands) but I never hated the album.

I regard Load and Reload as great albums.

CKY is the ultimate example of wasted potential. They did get screwed by some people around them, but they screwed themselves harder than anyone else could have. Monumental unfounded egos, drugs, and alcohol.

Jason was just a better musican, and they were jealous.

While I think the Black Album, Load, Reload, and St. Anger are not some of Metallica's best work, I still think they're all good albums. Metallica was willing to experiment, and that didn't always work out. At least they were trying something different and not hammering out the same thrash music over and over again. Were they also chasing the current trend to ride the popularity train? Yes, but I don't think they knew how else they could continue on. They had been doing thrash ever since they started in the early 80s until Bob Rock came into the picture in the early 90s. I think it was a combination of different things, including Cliff's passing and personalities clashing, but I'm sure Metallica was destined to change at some point; with or without Cliff. I will always personally prefer thrash though, since I think that is when Metallica is at their best.

St.Anger was the first record I chose to purchase as a kid. At that time (6 or 7 years old) i didnt care what it sounded like as long as it was metallica. I remember getting it home and popping in the live rehearsal disc and I found myself confused but overall I was like "yep that's metallica" and I've pretty much loved the record since then. I guess even at 6 years old I could relate to the anger and misery coming through the speakers.

Ugh, starting with the "buried in the mix" bass of ...and Justice for All. Later they do a remaster and keep it buried. Such an injustice for Jason...literally. Metallica has made so many changes, from their amazing start and compete anti-establishment to not even making a music video until Justice. Rehashing the Black Album would have been a huge mistake (see Def Leppard Hysteria to Adrenalize). The concepts for the album covers for Load and Reload are disgusting. Imo as a longtime fan, the content is a mixed bag with some greats, some I never want to play again. With the singing style, I just thought James' voice was shot. When they released "Garage Inc" it was like "see they still have it!" & later with "Death Magnetic". The best time to see Metallica is always when not touring for an album, they know they fans love the "old sh*t" and they deliver.

Angel Dust ❤❤❤

The truth is Lars heard Dr Feelgood and thought that was the heavy sound Metallica needed. They asked Bob Rock to produce and that's what he did. I can listen to the first 4 albums back-to-back. The black album is ok but they lost their edge and have been trying to get it back since 1991.

hey you, my favorites are JUSTICE and LOAD too! this album would have been alright if all the songs were 3 minutes long.

I actually really liked st anger. Even the sound. It literally showed you a bands changing their sound and starting over. Especially after the trash that load and reload were. So for me it was perfect. A mix of their older sound with the black album sound. Making it sound like a demo was even more genius. I just think all of that went over people's heads. I got it from the beginning. It was the perfect step and the beginning redemption from load and reload

To be fair, Metallica was 100% in the right when they took a stand against Napster. Its not the idea of sharing music with others that's the problem. It's pirating it and distributing without the band's permission, that's the issue.

Load and ReLoad are brilliant albums.

I was caught up in the controversy over their style too. Looking back it was so stupid. It took me years to figure just how good Load is and how much time I lost enjoying it. It also pains me that my favorite song of all time, the Outlaw Torn was cut off by a full minute because of the limitations of the CD.

They had such a great sound at the time. It felt more like "groove metal" than a 'grunge' or alt. band; something you could sing along and bang your head to! Also, some of the best guitar riffs in the game

Their difficulties started around 1993. It seems that the band saw him as a necessary replacement for Cliff, but Jason was definitely stifled and he gave James and Lars more time than they deserved to allow him to shine.. A conversation we had in '94 revealed as much. He was 100% true. Jason lived metal and embodied it and he belonged in Metallica, though he didn't feel that way.. Flotsam and Jetsam were a band worth travelling to see. I understood completely. This is a great accounting, not your average AI. Good job, here.

Newstead was their best bassist. I said what i said.

I actually really like most of the albums. Always have. They're just different.

I'm sure somebody said that and the contrary yet, but - WHY IS THIS VIDEO AND THE CHANNEL COMMON LORE FOR ANY METALLICA FAN

Not many of the popular metal bands escaped some kind of nu metal influence in their recordings in the early 00's

Jason was glue that made Metallica strong.

Chad seems like a real pain in the ass.

who cares these albums sucked ass

The snare on this album is like a drill boring into my brain. I cant stand it.

Honestly if this album didnt have james cringey goofy lyrics and vocals it would dope af like as an instrumental album this album would rip

found your channel/ this vid looking for groundhog session songs 1&2, the carver city “demos”… this is quality and i subscribed. Åppreciate the effort that went into this; as much as it sucks that cky is dead and buried, we still have a very nice subset of albums to turn to for nostalgia’s sake. IDR is absolute fire this time of year.

This is a great video. I love Owen sm

I stopped watching your video very quickly since you talk sh!t about this beautiful album. Gen Z, all the same.

Other than a few good songs both were garbage.

Load and ReLoad were the beginning of not remembering song names and order of tracks for me personally. Pretty much to this day. RiP Cliff.

Load and reload were fine, but I stopped listening when god-awful St. Anger hit. It was so horrible I walked away from them and never looked back.

I loved the production on justice it’s unique and of the era it made sense!!!! It was the literal sound of metal! Play it through a bass heavy rig and it warms up

The music was okay. The lyrics are laughable bad and it doesn’t get better after this album. James is out of ideas.

Turbo junkie

Its not like I dont like the good songs that are spare, but the I live my life I die my life is so little baby brain mentality nonsense noise from someone who has never lived a life worth living

wow only baby brain kid would like this nonsense lyric noise. as s and m purist, I view not being mission impossible corporate shill fascist as being cooler than your wannabe gen x consumer brained baby brain

4:00 haahhahahahhahhh entitled ahhahah like your mothers rotten twt. every musician is a thief, so they entitled, also you entitled. you think youre free from criticism because TH-cam is a monopoly, but the fact youre on this website, is the fact that you are an entitled corporate fascist pro genocide mutt, and if I never pay for music, television, or cinema for the rest of my life, it would of been worth it. just to watch you fascist squirm in a puddle of your own make. it's called evolution. it's cheaper to store music, so people shouldnt be asked to pay 20 bucks, which is a 100 bucks now, for a garbage cd case, with garbage cd that gets scratched no matter what you do. ahahhahahah f ur mother, f you and f your kin little boy. they use ads, and premium streaming to make money now. technically im paying more for ad free sheet on TH-cam than I ever did on physical copies, but I have more money than I did then, so that's a factor to consider. all in all youre a worthless beach soon enough you will eat a hot iron rod for this one little baby brain know nothing corporate fascist boi

I piss on fans

only baby brain peniles look at new metal with condescending eye ahhaah nu metal is actually experiencing a resurgence, so you dont know nothing baby brain genre boy

I really couldn’t get into the St. Anger album. I really have it away shortly after purchasing it

Al principio me gustaron ambos Albums, load and reload, a pesar que mis discos favoritos son Master y Ride. Ambos discos, load and reload los escuché mucho, pero llegó un momento que me aburrieron cosa que no me pasa con el Master o Ride. Y miren que me gusta mucho Nirvana y el punk Rock. Por lo mismo no me parecen buenos discos, me aburrieron después de escucharlos demasiado.

St Anger is awesome, its raw, unexpected and a complete mess that was perfect for the band at the time.

I hate to make more bass player drama but the fact that they decided to make St. Anger without a bass player shows how important they felt about that instrument.

Metallica hasn’t made a quality album since And Justice for All.

Load is a very good hard rock album 8/10. Re-Load however is St. Anger level bad 1/10. Fuel being the one great track.

These Cky videos are amazing… good shit, new subscriber
