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!
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.
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.
Honestly St. Anger fit the metal scene in the early 2000's. A lot of big metal bands were dropping their tunings and not focusing on guitar solos. (Korn, SoaD, early Slipknot, Disturbed, Deftones, among others.) This fits the time in which it was recorded in, and is honestly pretty good
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.
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!
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 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 remember getting this with the St. ANGER CD. all these years later thus songs still fucking blasts. I pounded weights to this in Iraq. It still works. Absolutely bad ass.
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!
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)
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.
James: you guys ready?
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.
James: You guys ready?
Kirk: Wait, I'm tuning.
James: Alright *starts riff*
Everybody ignores Kirk 🙄
2:49 one of my favorite riffs ever
Word

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...
The energy that this intro gives,it's fucking hard... Great job!!
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
James: You guys ready?
Kirk: Wait I'm tuning.
Rob: Hold on, I'm still tuning (at the same time)
James: Alright
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.

Shitty production on purpose
@@METROIDROCKSXP98 no theyre legendary
@@jacques9515 lol no
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!
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 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.
This album is a masterpiece, agressive ,noisy as fuck to everyone around you, amazing. What a metal album should be 100%
I like all metallica albums from there first one to when they end! I love music so ill try any new music out
If they wanted a "raw" sound, they should have just recorded the album live exactly like this...
That was actually quite clever of James to start while Kirk was tuning, it made have an all the more raw sound
i like the somewhat "dirty" guitar sound : )
It’s just shit tons of distortion and the strings tuned to shit. Sounds kinda badass
Damn Lars was a monster on the drums!
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

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

They absolutely need to play this live
5:15 "so metal" lol
I died laughing when I first heard that lmao
im watchin this on 2017... nice
I want this played live. Now
I love how all of their headbanging is different at 2:32

St anger album has so much cool riffs...
so metal
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!
" so metal "
James u rock!
I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!!
"You guys ready!?"
"Wait, I haven't tuned it yet."
*starts playing riff* lol
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.
this is a kickass song, shame they will never play it live though
CHILLS
中 lol this
Immense. The riffs are brutal!
I have to say this could very well be my favorite song on St. Anger ahead of Sweet Amber and Invisible Kid
Lol" You guys ready?"
"Wait I'm tuning I'm tuning!"

I agree. Awesome song. Awesome riffs. Awesome album.
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.
