    The scale that Kirk used for this solo (also on blackened and roam) to give it that twangy Egyptian vibe is so underrated. I hope he uses it on the new album.

      The problems are not the meter changes, but the high notes. You can see that James was struggling here with the high notes, and he was in his prime.
      It's not a hard song at all to play, but it is hard to sing the chorus.

      I was there too. It was my first real concert. Eye Of The Beholder and Blackened were the first Metallica songs I've ever heard and I became a fan. Being a 16 year old kid and seeing those guys performing on stage in their prime was almost surreal. And I remember when they were tearing down the Spectrum they were selling the seats out of there for $700 a pop. I saw quite a few shows there and a good amount of Flyers games too. It was always fun to watch Eric Lindross beat someone's a$$. I saw a lot of Monster Truck rallies abd tractor pulls there too. One time a monster truck drove right up into the seats. Luckily the section was empty andv nobody was sitting there. They were some great times.

    This is the lyrical essence of "...and justice for all", next to the title track. Just like a part 2 to it. "justice", "independence", "freedome"... Such an underrated, important song on this lp.

      I've been listening to that specific track on and off (mostly due to awesome hard and heavy structure, riffz and solo), but it is very hard in the lyrics department as well! That last block after the solo section is just brutal "You silence just to hear yourself", "Freedom no longer frees you"

      kick, kick, kick, snare
      kick, kick, kick, snare
      kick, kick, kick, snare
      kick, kick, kick, snare, snare
      And we all know the album version goes:
      kick, kick, kick, kick, kick, kick, snare
      kick, kick, kick, kick, kick, kick, snare
      kick, kick, kick, kick, kick, kick, snare

      @@jd0879 They had their hacks back in the day. If you listen closely to that performance, you can hear Jason playing the stop 'n' go pattern at the point where lars is supposed to play it alone to transition into the "darkness" segment. Its subtle but if you listen to the feel of the kicks with a good set of headphones, you can hear that the sound guy tweaked Jason's EQ to help him fill in Lars' missing notes.
      On top of that, James and Kirk would accent their parts to line up a little better with Lars. But the main ingredient was playing that part at a higher bpm so it takes a trained ear to notice. It's fairly easy to hear if you don't cut them the kind of slack they had up till the Napster thing.
      To Lars' credit though, he's getting his shit together with double bass these days. All it took was 40 years and the band threatening to replace him.
