"The New Song"

[Whiplash]

I'd just like to know everyone's opinion on it.

I agree with Lars when he said in Kerrang that the new album has a kind of old school Metallica flavour to it; this song has proof to that.

[MetDream]

yeah, that seems to be the consensus of the metallica community based on the majory opinion of the members of the metallica message boards I post on.

[Wraith]

And how cool was it of Metallica to let them post it on livemetallica.com??

[Whiplash]

Yeah that was cool, I thought they would have definitely taken it out when the posted it on livemetallica.com. Keep in mind though the song isn't exactly complete yet. It could go through a lot of changes by the time it comes for the band to record it for the album; but at least it gives us fans a chance to hear the early version of it.

[Wraith]

Yeah Ive already heard it I have boots of all the times it was played. I just want to hear it in better quality so I can write down the lyrics.

[Whiplash]

Well from what you've managed to translate of them so far, they sound very dark. Its as almost as if James is talking about his past addictions in reference to how he has "done his time" and "paid the toll, told the tale"

Do you know if the song is in better quality on the livemetallica releases or is it still the same bootleg audio quality? I'd imagine the audio would be improved a bit though.

[Wraith]

It will be much much better when it comes from livemet.

[pharmer4]

anyone got it from livemet yet? I know metallicaone has, he was frothing at the mouth over it the other day (lucky bastard).

I want to hear other opinoins!

[Wraith]

I will let you know when I hear it

[MetDream]

Me too. I should be getting all the European Escape shows this week.
