      That's not emo. This is the Dennis Rodman (whatever the fuck style he persues) face, when he was with Lars going to those New York avant-gard artist parties full of snobs and imbeciles.
      An emo dresses in black, with clothes 3 sizes bigger, dark hair with the forehead and eyes covered, and his hands full of cuts by dad's razor blade.

It was 100% a trendy thing to do then, especially in Hollywood. That whole image change of theirs was diametrically opposed to what any metal fan of the time was doing in their personal lives, absolutely alienated the core fans even more than the music of the black album, and just completely made them look like sell-outs.

    Kirk could hook that empty transparent guitar to a rubber tube and fill it progressively during the concert. He won't need bathroom breaks anymore. They could all go with this guitar pro hack actually. Robert always crawls around like he has to pee badly, he'd probably love it too. James has the guitar so low he won't even need a tube. Lars has it the best, he could go for weeks before having to empty the containers if he uses his drum kit for that purpose. I don't how it would affect the sound of the drums, but can't be possibly worse than St. Anger.

    @ 2:18 he says that the guitar has it's original spelling mistake. On the guitar, it is spelled O-U-I-J-A, however, the correct spelling is O-U-I-J-A. The same. What is he talking about? I even Googled it to be sure, and it is spelled Ouija. What am I missing?

    He's so absurdly confident here; I would go so far as to say arrogant. It actually comes across as silly if he wasn't in one of the biggest rock bands in history, at the time.
    I guess this was right after their peak so they were feeling invincible. Interesting how a person's personality and demeanor can change with time.

    • @madam94
      @madam94 3 роки тому +2

      Cocaine has the effect of extreme confidence. It's pretty well known that he had a coke problem at this time so it all fits. Drugs eh, at least when you are a rockstar you can pay for nice rehabs even if it still will fuck your life up somewhat(looking at the interviews with a him a coupla years back where he looks like he's dealing with severe anxiety and/or benzo addiction.)
      Done a number on me and i can only dream of a proper residential rehab. One day maybe.

      @jamesbargar4469 9 років тому +2

      I think he's pretty bad now. I look at it this way. Why listen to a once good now bad band like metallica when i can listen to a once good still good band like megadeth

    • @palopo-t3v
      @palopo-t3v 8 років тому +3

      +James Bargar The whole band is the best example of how much musicians can degrade when they stop taking their musicianship seriously. Kirk was never amazing, he was ok. He's just average now. Lars, on the other hand, was average and he simply sucks now. It's like he hasn't been playing for almost 40 years. How the hell did that happen I wonder.
