THE SONG THAT GAVE ME PTSD

Friday, July 24th, 2009 at 4:30pm by Axl Rosenberg

A few weeks back, on the Metal Injection Livecast (still shilling!!!)Rob Pasbani and company played me Ja Rule’s “We Did it Again,” a song using Metallica outtakes from St. Anger (including some truly ridiculous Hetfield vox that sound totally out of step with the rest of the song) that I had successfully managed to avoid these past few years.

Problem is, ever since I heard it, I often wake up in a cold sweat, screaming “YEAH WE DID IT DID IT DID IT!” This is what it must have been like to survive ‘Nam.

In all seriousness: gotta love* how Metallica keep thinking up new ways to shit all over their legacy.

You can listen to the song here, assuming you don’t value your sanity. In the meantime, here’s some behind-the-scenes shit about the track, which appears as one of the deleted scenes on the Some Kind of Monster (a.k.a. Live Action Metalocalypse) DVD.

*And by “love,” I mean “loathe.”

    Yep. The funny thing is, Metallica would say it’s all about not having any musical barriers and being open-minded to new ideas…

    That’s exactly what people say when they’re scraping the bottom of the barrel.

      If they really feel that way, then this is what happens when you have an open mind.
      Let this be a lesson to all of you.

    Every stereotype of the African-American people – whether neutral or negative – has truly come alive in this wonderful, wonderful video.

    God bless Lars Ulrich.

    You are all a bunch of narrow-minded pinheads. Oh my god! They gambled. Somebody call someone! No lines of coke, no hookers, no passed out guitar players though. Guess they have a way to go before they are as upstanding as our favorite metal bands. The riff for the chorus is unreal. Wish they had kept it for a song.

    Motograter? Metallica & Ja Rule? Is somebody on this website getting nostalgic for 2003 or is it that slow of a news day?

    As it is, this song has always been kind of a guilty pleasure for me. Granted, Ja Rule is a useless piece of shit, but had they gone with a talented rapper (yes, such a thing DOES exist) this song would have been received much more warmly.
