    Rick Beato in 2018: After the verse comes the chorus. Check out the chorus.
    Rickt Beato in 2020: It is that dissonant 7th major chord that really gives the harmonic part of the bridge section that extra blues feeling of despair, which is not really what the band is known for, but defines this genre throughout the 90s and is a trademark of this producer who actually takes his coffee with two sugar and no cream, which I found really interesting.

    Metallica became a heavy metal (no longer thrash metal) band with this record. A lot of bands should be thankful that the Black Album came out because it essentially opened the floodgates of metal to innumerable people who hasn't experienced metal in their lives yet. This album is a masterpiece in metal recording .

    I hate how people attack Bob Rock. Years after JUSTICE people complained that you couldn't hear Jason. I love that album but you can't hear him. All Bob did was come in and take the songs Metallica had and made them sound perfect as far as the recordings. But for some reason they hate him because of the songs. All he did was take the songs that Metallica brought to the sessions and make sound perfect. He didn't write the songs. If you hate the album for the music blame Metallica. If you hate the record for production quality, you're an idiot. I admit it's not my favorite record musically by them, but the quality of the recordings is masterful. Respect to Bob Rock.

      I have to agree... And I think Bob Rock said it best about the hating on him when he said "If you think I EVER could have pushed THOSE guys into something that they didnt already want to do, then you know nothing about Lars or James or Metallica." Granted, the fleas come with the dog with what everyone wanted, but all Bob did was EXACTLY what James and Lars wanted. James wanted massive-sounding layers of tight guitar tracks, and Lars wanted a more basic but wide-spectrum sounding drum sound that could fill a planet. I would say they achieved all.

    This song is written just like a roller coaster. There is the foreboding of the lift hill, the delivery of the first drop, some ancillary thrills before a low section and the grand finale right before a brake run. The precision of the song is what is impressive. They aren't going for high art here. It's supposed to be entertaining. It delivers everything it aims to deliver.

    I too like Metallica's older stuff better, but comparatively speaking, the recording and production quality went WAY UP on this record. The instruments sounded more distinctive, the bass was fuller without being boomy, and the stereo imaging was better on high-end equipment like Proceed, Krell Linn, Naim, and Audio Research which I sold at the time.

    9:00 doesn't sound double tracked at all. But then it doesn't sound pseudo double tracked either. There's no duplicate of the main track underneath that I can hear.

    I was 15 in 92, and this was one of the first songs my first band played. We did pretty good at it too, but I rushed the hell out of this song, and added a sixteenth note double bass run on the section right before the outro. I also played a ride cymbal during the pre-chorus sections.
    The closest I ever came to that snare sound acoustically was with my 5×14 1960's Slingerland chrome over brass snare, with a clear Remo C.S. Batter head, and Ambassador snare side.

    I LOVE METALLICA, THEY'RE MY ALL TIME FAVORITE BAND, ALWAYS WILL BE, AND I LISTENED TO THIS ALBUM A MILLION TIMES WHILE IN HIGH SCHOOL! I ACTUALLY WORE OUT TWO CASSETTES BEFORE UPGRADING TO THE CD!!! PROUD TO SAY THAT I'VE SEEN THEM LIVE AND THEY ARE BEYOND AWESOME LIVE! I FEEL LUCKY THAT I WAS BORN AT EXACTLY THE RIGHT TIME TO EXPERIENCE THE BEST MUSIC IN THE ENTIRE GALAXY!

    I remember when this came out. I remember being disappointed. I understand that they had probably gone as far as they could in thrash, but I didn't expect such a dramatic shift toward pop metal. It took about 20 years for me to appreciate this album. I use it regularly to setup my audio system, just like with Dark Side of the Moon. But if I want to listen to Metallica, it's Lightning, Puppets or Justice. Much like Rick says he goes to Rubber Soul and Revolver for the Beatles.

    I worked at A&M studios when this was mixed and worked with Bob on some other stuff. Spoiler alert, the bass would have been edited with pro tools. This was the very early days and Bob had a pro tools guy, they were using it all the time on this and Motley, etc. I had spent several all nighters with the pro tools guy as he worked on the list Bob left from the days recording. It was a combination of analog, then bounced to digital on Sony 3348 which also had the ability to sample and fly parts around as well as pro tools for editing.

      David Lee Roth told Joe Rogan that Eddie Van Halen would go in the studio and record a solo several times, improvising each take. He would choose the best parts and piece them together, and then practiced to learn the solo he created. Perhaps Hammet works this way too.

    • @shadesofgold24
      @shadesofgold24 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That’s pretty common when writing any solo. You write sections, piece them together, then play the thing together as a whole solo. I’m saying in this case you can clearly hear sections were recorded and then pieced together with no thought to learn the solo entirely and play it straight through

    • @CostasAn
      @CostasAn 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@shadesofgold24 Eddie Van Halen did what you describe. The recorded solo was never played straight through. But he had to learn it to play it live. David Lee Roth said that is why you sometimes see Van Halen going from very low on the neck to very high and vise versa. He just pieced together the solo not caring how hard it would be to actually play it.

That's definitely the main reason why I liked it so much back when it came out...more for the sound than the songs.

    "HAMMETT: We were drinking at the Carlson house one night, and Lars turned on the tape deck: "Listen to this, man. Forstex Multitrack Mesa/Boogies with James playing the heaviest riff ever!" It was the main riff to "Master of Puppets", which had been quadrupled on all four tracks and sounded super heavy. And I knew it immediately as this joke riff that James would always play on the D string. He just dropped it down to the low E string and it was suddenly this whole other thing."

    Rick, dude, Metallica is the reason I started playing guitar (way back in 1989!). Once I heard Puppets and Justice, I was hooked...
    Fast forward to when the Black album was released, I was just as obsessed with it.
    Kirk does some extremely amazing lead work and he has all of these little eerie sounds that are haunting throughout the album.
    And of course, the production is awesome.
    I think the reason some didn’t care for this album is simply because they expanded their audience with this album. So you had metalheads that were upset that other people (non-metalheads, if you will) listening to their music! So that was more of a psychological turn off to some die hard metalheads. Hopefully that makes sense.
    But it’s a phenomenal album!
