This is what the album should’ve been Just them playing the songs all together with this same sound quality and all with Kirk doing background vocals and all This shit sounds so raw and awesome
All the St.Anger riffs are very badass, this album are very complete, have a lot of great lyrics, all the members have a lot of anger inside of them, that is what make this album a great album. I don't understand why it is so fkng underrated and criticized.
The production is just fucking garbage and lets be honest, the majority of the lyrics are very cringe worthy, 70% of the album has very good riffs though
The production, Lars drum set, and some songs that are longer than should be. The proof is that the Rehearsals DVD and the live versions of St. Anger songs sound way better than the studio version.
I don't get why everyone hates on St. Anger. I love this album. No, its not their best, far from it, but it's still great stuff to bang your head to. Purify is one of my favorite Metallica songs ever...not just on this album, EVER! I'm glad they went back to the older style as well, but I don't feel this one was a waste at all. Thanks for keeping it metal guys!
scyx they needed to get so many issues out, and they did through them playing this album. First time I heard it when it came out I didn't understand it, but now I savor the songs!
@@stephenp2174 And the way the album sounded gave him the outlet to properly express all the emotions he'd been feeling since when he entered rehab in 2001, in my opinion the lack of solos approach worked for this album because I don't think any were needed especially given how much tension was in the band when making the whole thing and it goes kinda hard just with some of the riffs all over it like the main one of this and Sweet Amber for example.
It also seems like the longer a band's been around, the more they're popularity decreases. Give a band at least 10 years and you'll start hearing the claims about how they've "sold out" and how good they "used to be": Metallica, Iron Maiden, AC/DC, Slipknot, Judas Priest, etc. I just ignore those people. lol I have no concern for how popular a band is or is not. I like good music regardless of whether or not it's "cool" or "uncool". And I like St. Anger. End of story. :3
whiteboy7176 yeah but then when they hit the 15-20 year mark they become a classic band or old school band to younger kids and the popularity starts to come back. Selling out is just the nature of the beast. Bands that didn’t couldn’t afford to keep shoes on their feet or became irrelevant. The cycle goes: start out, become popular, sell out to stay afloat then use those earnings to return back to your roots.
Death Magnetic and Hardwired were great albums. But anyone honestly giving their first impression of St. Anger would attest to its objectively bad sound. Anything can sound good after we listen to it over and over, hence why we come to "like" St. Anger over time - familiarity bias and the Metallica symbol saved it. If some new band had produced St. Anger, it would have been laughed out of the room.
Every band that gets bored of the same shit and tries to do something new or getting out of their comfort zone is almost automatically bashed and accused of sell out. Sometimes people get really picky and stupid.
What I've noticed: Every Band has had albums, that most of they're fans have hated! Example: Metallica: Load, St anger Megadeth: Risk, Cryptic Writings Anthrax: Sounds Of White Noise, Stomp442 Slayer: Diablous In Musica Mushroomhead: Beautiful Stories For Ugly Children Guns n' Roses: Chinese Democracy If you are one of the few people left who love bands for what they do, please thumb this up so everyone can see it!
Load was pretty good, and I like some tracks from St. Anger (this one for example). Lulú is a piece of shit, and I think Hardwired lacks of soul: it's like diet Death Magnetic.
I think people often forget that there is an entire genre of music that sounds like this; Stoner rock/metal (in a general sense) and nobody craps on those bands for playing that sound. I think the main reason this album had such a bad reputation was bc it was made by Metallica.
Maybe so but I do like the way it sounded on the record because in my opinion, it perfectly encapsulates all the tension within the band during the making of the album and especially how the 2 years it took to finish it was hell for James specifically given how he was newly sober.
What they meant is that, they were trying to get back to their roots (meaning metal, instead of the hard rock feel they had in Load/Reload). The sound however, was a new approach as they tried new ways of writing (they did everything in the studio at once instead of writing outside of the studio too) and just a new feel. Though it isn't old Metallica, I still like all of their works and I'm really excited to hear that their new album will be the bridge between Justice and the balck album. Peace!
man... The fuckin riffs in this song are insane. and what lars put behind them, say what you will, fit fuckin perfectly. really shows man. Btw james is the king of down picking. proof in the video above ( 3:21 i mean come on man. i know you that got you pumped too.)
@@nathanvance2648 we say that Kirk keeps up, but don’t forget he downpicks parts of his solos too 😆 I think Kirk is just the amount of down pick god as James!
This is some pretty heavy Metallica, I used to think this album was just a mess but now it jost flows together so well. More Metallica fans need to actual listen to this and not say its bad cause its missing solos but that doesnt represent the song. Its just great even the trash can sounding drums, Metallica!!! \m/
I love this Album. This is my favorite song on St. Anger ( My 5th favorite Metallica album ) and this songs easily in my top 5 favorite Metallica songs.
I bought 'St. Anger' first 2 good reasons: 1. Because I'm a fan for life, first and foremost. 2. To piss the haters off when I'm riding by with the volume turned up. 😎 🤘
Damn! this sounds soo freaking awsome.. one of the best live performance ever! it sounds almoast identical to the album. (and lars uses dubble kick, jsut awsome)
yes!!!! loving the comments! loving the like to dislike ratio! loving the raw power and "wall of guitar's sound" as Jaymz would call it. St anger for the fucking win! this album came out when i was like 12 and saved me. it was a way for me to get out my aggression theraputically at night after a day of being bullied and beaten in school. i owe a lot to this band and this album. they did what no therapist could
Man, all I gotta say is at 4:39...that's just one of those "Jaymz" riffs that gets everyone pumped...even Robert can't help to grin and think, "Yeah, that's my boy Jaymz...." \,,/
I'm frantic in your soothing arms I can not sleep in this down filled world. Found safety in this loneliness but I can not stand it anymore .Cross my heart, hope not to die ,swallow evil ,ride the sky. I lose myself, in a crowded room. Some of the better lyrics i've heard on this album. This was off The Unnamed feeling. You dont have to listen to this album you can choose not to. But please dont come here and hate on it just for the sake of hating it thats something someone immature would do.
I think Metallica should re-record St. anger in 2023.. just imagine the album with real snare (not trash can), solos, and good production by Greg Fidelman... That will be the most amazing thing Metallica does in very long time, I guess...
purify! best song on st. anger Why do people critise the album so much? Sure, theres no solos and the drums sound tingy, but its probably the most aggressive, heavy album they've made.

Kirk; No, wait i'm tuning
James: Alright, (starts playing)
Stephen Rossano lolll
James > Kirk
There's a similar scene taking place across pretty much every band practice in history. 😂
Lmao
Rob said Hold on too lol
James: you guys ready?
Kirk: wait Im tun...
*starts riff*
RIP
Lars is going insane behind the drums. It's so satisfying to watch him live the anger out.
Yea, one of the few times we get to see him actually playing to his full potential, instead of just listening
@@kiteblowin when he wants, he destroy the drums!
@@blitera7261 This!
I can hear only chaos. And it's freakin amazing.

This is what the album should’ve been
Just them playing the songs all together with this same sound quality and all with Kirk doing background vocals and all
This shit sounds so raw and awesome
H. E. M. The lyrics are still cringey and Kirk can’t sing for shit.
So much better than the record. Suits the raw vibe they were going for so much more.
Neo-Midgar exactly man. Sounds more natural than the album. The album sounds purposely bad for no reason, doesn’t sound as honest as this.
@@H.E.M. exactly! Haha we can finally agree on something together lol
Kirk WAHmett 89 😂
load, st anger, risk, cryptic writings are all awesome albums man!
Love how you put Metallica's and Megadeth's albums considered "the worst" together. But yeah, especially Cryptic Writings is great
@@Aarthurnax back when super collider wasnt out
This riff is so heavy, fucking sick
If words ... absolutely speechless...
James: You guys ready?
Kirk: Wait I'm tuning.
Rob: Hold on, I'm still tuning (at the same time)
James: Alright
i can't wait to see how Robert works out. I see him play the bass, and i get the feeling of primal energy in him
This comment has aged remarkably well.
Indeed
@@Chubzdoomer Yeah
Like fine wine! Rob has brought so much energy to the band and has been amazing!

@@jacques9515 lol no
Love the way James checking is Lars doin' ok. 3:35 :D
he isn't checking anything. You guys always seeing what you want.
i like the somewhat "dirty" guitar sound : )
It’s just shit tons of distortion and the strings tuned to shit. Sounds kinda badass
i will defend this album until i die
Me, too! I love it!
Purifyyyyyyyyyyy
Same. The riffs are cool and lars destroyed the drum kit (in a good way).
Cool...hopefully you're gone then so you can't defend this piece of trash anymore
The energy that this intro gives,it's fucking hard... Great job!!
This album is a masterpiece, agressive ,noisy as fuck to everyone around you, amazing. What a metal album should be 100%
I don't get why everyone hates on St. Anger. I love this album. No, its not their best, far from it, but it's still great stuff to bang your head to.

I share your exact sentiments because this song is badass when it's live.🤘
I’ll just say it. St Anger IS one of their best, from the perspective of what truly went into the album and what came out of it.
James was sober for the first time in 20+ years. It's amazing how different your brain works when you put down the booze for a while.

I like all metallica albums from there first one to when they end! I love music so ill try any new music out
Heard this when I was 12 and I was eh about it, now in my 30's and I appreciate the fuck out of it.
That was actually quite clever of James to start while Kirk was tuning, it made have an all the more raw sound

I do love st Anger. And have defended it on my fan page. I
Load, Reload y St.Anger son unos excelentes discos de Metallica y al que no le parezca nos damos en la madre!
Efectivamente amigo aunque no creo que muchos estén de acuerdo contigo con st anger pero para mí es mi 2do album favorito de metallica cd
Damn Lars was a monster on the drums!
When he actually put effort into it, he truly was.
What I've noticed: Every Band has had albums, that most of they're fans have hated! Example:
Metallica: Load, St anger
Megadeth: Risk, Cryptic Writings
Anthrax: Sounds Of White Noise, Stomp442
Slayer: Diablous In Musica
Mushroomhead: Beautiful Stories For Ugly Children
Guns n' Roses: Chinese Democracy
If you are one of the few people left who love bands for what they do, please thumb this up so everyone can see it!
Load was imo really great
People tend to hate super collider more than cryptic writings
Load was pretty good, and I like some tracks from St. Anger (this one for example).
Lulú is a piece of shit, and I think Hardwired lacks of soul: it's like diet Death Magnetic.

If they wanted a "raw" sound, they should have just recorded the album live exactly like this...
Maybe so but I do like the way it sounded on the record because in my opinion, it perfectly encapsulates all the tension within the band during the making of the album and especially how the 2 years it took to finish it was hell for James specifically given how he was newly sober.
5:15 "so metal" lol
I died laughing when I first heard that lmao
im watchin this on 2017... nice
I love how all of their headbanging is different at 2:32
"You guys ready!?"
"Wait, I haven't tuned it yet."
*starts playing riff* lol
St anger album has so much cool riffs...
so metal
They absolutely need to play this live
I want this played live. Now
krik's backing vocals are good here
Heavy as fuck. How Metallica fans or metal fans in general can dislike this is beyond me. Each to their own I guess, their loss!
The rawness and honesty of this album is epic.
I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!!

中 lol this
I have to say this could very well be my favorite song on St. Anger ahead of Sweet Amber and Invisible Kid
I know, This is one of my favorite Metallica albums, but most people hate everything about it.
Immense. The riffs are brutal!
I love this Album. This is my favorite song on St. Anger ( My 5th favorite Metallica album ) and this songs easily in my top 5 favorite Metallica songs.
This is my favorite song from St. Anger! I love it!
It's my favourite song of St. Anger! I love it :D
This album is so RAW D: Defiantly one of their best/
Awesome dude! We went and saw them last month in Cincinnati OH. on Sept. 15th 2009 and they Freakin Rocked!!!!!!
This album is better than load and reload by a country mild.
In terms of feelings and emotion it's the best one since Justice.

But really, this one is pretty good.
They should play it live more often.

Alot people hated St Anger but i think that album was fucking amazing. This is such a fucking good studio version so agressive i love it.
One of my favorite from St. Anger, Long Live Metallica!
Damn! this sounds soo freaking awsome.. one of the best live performance ever! it sounds almoast identical to the album.
(and lars uses dubble kick, jsut awsome)
hehe, James: "you guys ready?"
Kirk: "wait, I'm tuning"
James: "alright", and starts playing. hilarious:D
the best rock band from the last 30 years
st. anger is great album. exciting mix of styles!
James - Vocals and Rhythm
Lars - Trash Cans
Rob - Kazoo
Cookie Monster - Back up vocals
I agree. Awesome song. Awesome riffs. Awesome album.
Anyone else think it's absolutely criminal, that this song has never been played live? (Other than this of course)
For sure
is just love the heavy sound of the intro, sounds soooooo good through emg pickups (l)
yes!!!! loving the comments! loving the like to dislike ratio! loving the raw power and "wall of guitar's sound" as Jaymz would call it.

According to Lars, purify was one of the songs that originally had a guitar solo.
what a place for playing

Somehow sounds better than the actual album

Cheesy audio quality. However, this song kicks ass and one of the Metallica's best. I really wish they made a video for this one
Tremendo álbum st. Anger!! Tal cual el titulo del disco . Emana mucha potencia y agresividad. Gran disco de Metallica!!!
This song is so metal. Groove-Metal Metallica. I love it.

Why do people critise the album so much? Sure, theres no solos and the drums sound tingy, but its probably the most aggressive, heavy album they've made.

3:33 here Lars goes to the double kicks at an insane speed, he does similar in Battery & Dyers Eve
This guitar tone is so much better than the album
