- I got the Year and a Half video (part 1) for Christmas, and popped it
- in as soon as I got the chance. I wish I had gotten part two instead.
- This video confirms to me that the day the music died was the day Bob
- Rock was hired to produce. All thru this video, it is arguments
- between Rock and band members about how the songs should be recorded -
- Metallica wanted harder, more raw sounds, and Rock wanted to produce a
- radio album. When the band members were interviewd one on one, they
- sounded like Bob Rock cronies, like he was feeding them the lines
- about accesibility and stuff. I think this because in the
- non-interview parts, they were always defending the way they wanted to
- play - which was not quite radio material. I think they did want to
- make a simlper album, but I think Rock just completely went overboard.
-
- Anyway, I do like the Black album more and more, but I certainly would
- rather listen to Master and Justice - and I do most of the time. Hope
- this doesn't start a new sell out flame war, but I just wanted to give
- a little review of the tape. It's better to borrow this one than to
- buy it, IMHO...--
