METALLICA SOUND SLOPPY

“That Was Just Your Life” is probably still my favorite track off of Death Magnetic, so I was  excited to watch this footage of the band playing it live that was posted on Blabbermouth this morning.

Unfortunately, not only is the footage shot incredibly poorly (nice vantage point from the 8 trillionth row right as the song is kicking off), but the band just doesn’t sound that great. Hetfield really can’t sing, and Lars seems to be weighing everyone down and just making it sound all sloppy n’ shit. I’m sure some of you will disagree and think I just get off on Metallica bashing and blah blah blah, but really, I just can’t imagine anyone reasonable hearing this performance and thinking “WOW!”
