OT: Watcha Listenin' To? Part VIIII: Nine lives, cat's eyes

[Yukon Cornelius]

Both Metallica and Megadeth aren't really in my regular rotation anymore...was never big into Megadeth but they have some songs I do like..I pretty much now stop with Master of Puppets with Metallica...And Justice has some songs I like but overall meh

I do still retain a bit of Master (specifically Battery) in my head each week when I buy my lottery tix.

Step up to the counter
Handing them my scan card
Got to play the lottery

Lottery!

Lot er eeee!!!

My favorite Megadeth song. Man, they pulled it off....Dave singing while playing those riffs, and Friedman was on freaking fire. RIP Nick Menza too. I tried to play this once on drums like 25 years ago, and, nope. I stay in my lane. Usually if I know a song I can play it. Not this one; it was a hot mess.

As a teenager, I stopped listening to Metallica when they became hugely popular once the video for One came out. Suddenly the people that made fun of me for liking metal were wearing Metallica t-shirts. That was the last album I bought by them (I had it on cassette...CDs weren't a thing yet).

Haha, yeah, it's challenging song for sure! I learned it on bass but could never get it quite clean on guitar.

I rank this as the best metal song ever written. I wore out my first Rust in Peace cassette. Remember Columbia House? That's how I got all my music back then. So I just got another one to replace mine along with 10 other "free" cassettes.

I listened to them for a few more albums after that (Youthanasia, and Cryptic Warning I think it was called?) then my tastes went in a different direction. Came back for the two most recent releases, and saw them on their most recent tour.

This was their best lineup, no question. Friedman was such a great complement to Mustaine and Menza was a powerhouse.

Master remains my favourite Metallica release, and those first four albums were so influential for me. When the Black album came out, I moved on. The production was amazing, the songwriting was tight, the vocals took a huge step up, but for me, the soul of Metallica was gone. It was pop metal.

Not sure if you know this band, but knowing that you're a drummer, you may enjoy Baard Kolstad. I love his approach to drumming and he's fun to watch - dynamics for days.

I've mentioned that I love the Crowes...specifically their second album.

My take on one of my faves...

Dope full cover of Nirvana. Live from a show in Denver a few days ago. Eerily sounds like Kurt. Kurt died in ‘94. Jesse was born in ‘94. Fate? Coincidence?
