I’ve heard local cover bands pull that song off better than that.
Heathen > both
Heathen? They have like two good albums.
that’s because they only have 2 albums.
Relax, bozos. They’re just goofing around at practice. And it still sounds better than the ‘black’ album.
Agree 100%
pretty cool that even though they’re metallica, they still have time to rip out a few riffs from other bands’ songs and just goof off and have fun, and not be all serious like how they’re gonna practice their setlist.
besides i think it sounded ok. the audio sucks because it was taken from a handheld camera’s mic, and not through a soundboard nor real recording mics. lars has to lay off the china though.
*face palm*
voivod>both
agree
oh slow news day. Time to rip on Metallica. Clever.
Butthurt Metallica Fan.
I actually prefer most Slayer to Metallica. But it’s just become so Cliche to rip on Metallica nowadays that it’s actually lame. So take it easy cupcake.
I feel the same way when I see people make a Microsoft joke, and do the M$ thing. Lame, tired, old. etc
Your right, Metallica is the Microsoft of metal! ;)
*you’re – Mega faux paux
slayer > apple
I disagree
id agree metallica are very overrated but in my opinion slayer are majorly overrated aswell
slayer are hideously overrated
Everything that Metallica and Slayer have ever released put together < Peace Sells…But Who’s Buying?
That’s what I think anyway. I really agree about Slayer being overrated. For every good Slayer song, there are 5 or 6 really shitty ones. Reign In Blood is great, but that’s about it.
I must disagree, first of all Slayer always more or less stayed true to their music and their fans. And when you look at their discography the only bad album they ever put out is divine intervention. Slayer rules!
Rust In Peace > Peace Sells… But Who’s buying?
that didnt sound to good
Fuck you. Slayer rules. They certainly kick God Forbid and IWABO’s ass. -_-
AMEN to that brother.
Yeah, but God Forbid is also a good band (not as good as Slayer). IWABO is not.
This doesnt prove shit.
Im positive Slayer attempting to play metallica songs would not sound that great either. It proves nothing
It would sound horrible. Kerry King would probably break his fingers trying to play an actually good guitar part.
Posting this video on their own website just adds more fuel to the “Lars sucks at drumming” fire
Well I hate to say it, but it is true. He seemingly can’t play double bass anymore.
I love Metallica as much as the next guy, but this just goes to proove; Stick to what you’re good at, don’t cover
Slayer’s songwriting skills are nowhere near the caliber of Metallica. They have a few cool riffs, but they do the same shit all the time (Slayer, that is), whereas Metallica can write a great song in any genre (Kill ‘Em All’s punk-metal style, AJFA’s prog style, etc.), simply because they are so tasteful. Add to that that Metallica songs actually have emotional depth with interesting chord progressions and stellar musicianship.
I agree, Metallica CAN write a great song in any genre (St. Anger’s epic shit-in-muh-mouth style, Reload’s grunge-sells style). I don’t think Slayer has written anything even close to those 2 masterpieces.
hahahahaha, you won
st. anger. checkmate.
the only real problem i had with that was their shitty-gritty guitar sound from the last album. other than that it was just another band playing soungs they like.
and lars sucks at drumming. he overuses crash symbals to cover up the fact that he cant play a fast beat
Metallica would never play this live at a show anyway, so everybody just chillax. Both Metallica and Slayer are awesome playing what they write. period
As a couple of people posted earlier, this is only the band goofing around. James and Kirk could certainly pull off the guitar parts (and it would be interesting to hear the song with a melodic solo). The only person lagging would be Lars, but that doesn’t surprise anyone.
You, sir, are the smartest person here.
(Don’t get too excited… that’s like being the smartest person at the Special Olympics.)
Your are right, Mike. Most of us agree that new Metallica’s songwriting isn’t up to par, but to show a clip of them obviously fucking around and jamming a song that they clearly haven’t rehearsed just to say “hey look how bad they suck!” is just stupid.
I know that people who don’t play instruments sometimes assume that if your in a band like Metallica, you should be so good that you can flawlessly play anything on a whim, regardless if you actually know the song. Learning songs is takes time and work to play them well, even if your a badass.
I think the people who are being critical of this clip would be suprised to find out that their favorite band probably sounds a lot like this when there fucking around in the jam room too.
Dream Theater played the whole Master of Puppets, Number of the Beast & Dark Side of the Moon albums live, Flawlessly! So, as unfortunate as it may be, Metallica can’t really play any shit at the same caliber like they used to…
i agree, raining blood isnt too hard of a song to be able to play (just ask the thousands of guitar covers on youtube) the only person who would fallbehind would be lars because i dont think he can pack the speed that tom lambardo can deliver
i love tom lambardo’s drumming !!!
almost as much as Karry Hinnimens guitar work……
God damn it I hate it when people say there’s no “emotion” in songs, that is ultimately why you don’t enjoy that song, because you don’t connect with it on an emotional level. Just because a song doesn’t have a bucketload of melodies, doesn’t make it unemotional, slayer is fucking brutal and gets me pumped every time i listen. Stop thinking about music from such a black and white perspective, understand that your opinion is not fucking final, i don’t particularly enjoy the beatles, i dont shit on anyone who says there the best band ever though.
All i know is that I knocked metallica for years, and felt they should have hung it up a long time ago. I saw them 2x in one week back in january, and those two shows blew away all 7 slayer shows I’ve been to. Every. Damn. One.
I haven’t even watched this video, and I don’t plan on it because I know I’m right, shitty rehearsal or not. They still pull it off in concert.
Oh and Psycopathy Red Blows, that is not the same band that wrote the seasons in the abyss album.
I fucking love SLAYER!!!! I fuckin love METALLICA……. I wouldn’t like to see either play eachother though…. anyhow….. fuckin you guys bitch alot and is sure as fuck amuses the shit outta me…. know what else gets the shit outta me?…. VENTI ESPRESSO TRUFFLE STARBUCKS! chew on that you cock-suck-fucks! (the shit, that is)
That was awful. You could amputate Dave Lombardo’s arms and legs and he still would be a superior drummer then Lars.
Lars is a crap drummer, I will concede that point. But again, at the shows I went to, he actually sounded like he had practiced and the sound itself wa sstupid heavy.
But yes, Lombardo > Ulrich. If anyone disagreess, then please inform me as to what drugs you’re on because I want some.
I don’t know.. but, in the early Thrash days if you compare the Metallica’s drumming with Testament`s, Exodu’es, and many other bands I can tell you that they were a little Fllopy in comparison.. The real great drumming were in bands like Slayer, Metallica, Anthrax, Megadeth and Forbidden! anyway Lars suck on these days!!
i give respect to both but slayer sounds the same every song ever album over and over M>S
Even if that were true, at least they do the same good song every album over and over where as Metallica just sucks over and over.
you cant say metallicas old stuff is bad slayers new suff is shity
…Oh look the band are human. And at the end of the day they’ve still made four of the greatest metal albums of all time so they can suck all they want now.
Lars: “We should do that into St. Anger”
What James and/or Kirk should have said: “Actually, we should retire with the dignity we’re so lucky to have left.”
they are actually unlearning their instruments!
HAHAHAHA! NICE ONE!
They are warming up before a show and goofing off. Big deal if it wasn’t “perfectly” done, that is point of getting loosened up before a 3 hour show, so you do not jack up your material on stage.
On the brightside, it was great to hear Lars suck on someone else’s music for a change!
man those monkeys look alot like metallica and sound nothing like slayer
I wonder, if Metallica can play heavier songs (which they’ve done in the past) what’s stopping them from doing so now… The Slayer cover is not too bad given that they’re just goofing around… Atleast it shows that they like Slayer music enough to play it…
And btw, all the people who think Slayer is overated, please shut the fuck up. Try and play one slayer song in totality yourself and you’ll know what a douche you are for making comments… Stupid drones…
Every Slayer album has been consistent, heavy, tight and worth the money you spent buying them whereas fucktards like Avenged Sevenfold, God Forbid and all the crappy bands that came out in the last decade are fucking one hit wonders….
Just because they can play lightning fast it doesn’t mean it’s the greatest shit in the world. Well, apparently some people can only slow down to a certain limit.
Anyways, Metallica is definitely the top gun metal band there is. All Nightmare Long is fucking brutal!
Slayer’s okay but I find that most of their songs tend to sound the same. Otherwise, I love Metallica and would prefer not to get into this argument.
metallica should try and keep a lid on these videos.
I’m pretty sure MS posted the vid to get their comment count up. Nothing like a Metallica post to get the “discussion” flowing…
Meshuggah > Every band on here ever
I’ll take Hetfield’s paycheck over King’s anyday of the week.
hetfield eat me!
