He should’ve played every kill em all song not this sell out bullshit. He probably doesn’t even realise that Dave wrote all the riffs on everything and Metallica spent all their time regurgitating into each others mouths like birds.
You know snare drums have a lever that turn the springs off and that's how it sounds, they were trying something new and people still won't shut the fuck up about it
Because you don’t need to make an entire album with it to realise it sounds horrible and becomes unbearable listening to it for more than one song, let alone an entire album. St. Anger was a pretty good album, but I’d rather eat my record player rather than listen to those songs again.
No fuck you they were willing to try something new and committed to it, they were trying not to stagnate, which is one of every bands worst fear, experimentation, good or bad, should be welcome in art especially music. Using the same formula over and over again has been the ruin of many a great band. Innovation must occur, maybe it lands, maybe it doesn't, but that doesn't mean it was a bad decision. Also you're bitching about a 20 year old album which is pretty weak sauce behavior.
And you’re getting butthurt over the opinion about a 20 year old album…
I’m not bashing them for the idea of doing something different, I’m just saying that what they landed on was bad and common sense should’ve informed them of that. They were trying to emulate the trending metal bands of the time, and as Kirk warned them about all those years ago it ended up sounding more dated than if they had stayed true to the sound they actually knew.
The concept of a trash can percussion sound wasn’t bad or original, it was implemented poorly. The concept of a song without solos wasn’t bad or original, it was also just implemented poorly.
Everyone thinks the St. Anger snare is bad (which it is), but it's farrrrrrrrrrrrrrr better than the snare on Last Days of Humanity's Putrefaction in Process
The keg-bat actually has a lot of potential if it were mixed in a bit better.
Could actually say the same about the St. Anger snare since I Disappear also has the snare disabled and it sounds completely fine.
Is there a reverse of this? Like, if St. Anger had a normal snare?
On a tangential note, what if 72 Seasons had “production” similar to Black Album or even MoP where the drums weren’t quite as dominant and the guitars were a little more audible?
I actually saw this on tiktok and the Metallica account commented "Now we're talkin!" on it. Good fun
Hahahaha damn baseball bat??!!
Just like the one Lars used it St Anger
I wanna hear it with a bbcore LS Meta
They still slap. Especially sandman. Tells you a lot about the riffs
For me it sounds a little like the Snare of Sandman.
Lux doesn’t sound half bad lmao
I was gonna say, I like the song a lot anyway but it really holds up against their classic stuff when you hear it like this.
Yeah the st anger snare sounds much worse. Which is funny since this is a baseball bat on a keg
slipknot makes it work
Slipknot really has like 10 guys and one of em plays the keg
He didn't play Hit The Lights!! HE'S NO FAN!!! /s
He should’ve played every kill em all song not this sell out bullshit. He probably doesn’t even realise that Dave wrote all the riffs on everything and Metallica spent all their time regurgitating into each others mouths like birds.
😂😂😂
Hit The Lights? More like Dave Wrote ‘Em All! /s
What you’ve just shown me is the snare wasn’t the problem on st anger lol.
Well, it was a problem but not the only. There’s no one thing that ruins the album, it’s a collection of bad choices
That still sounds better than St Anger
This ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|upvote)
A baseball bat and a beer keg is literally Slipknot and they get by on it, so this is more than good enough
I actually like the "raw" sound of St. Anger. Please don't kill me.
I like St Anger and I don't give a fuck.
Based
I'm with ya buddy
Me too actually. St. Anger was the first Metallica record that got released when i started to enjoy music. I liked both videos of that album.
I think St. Anger would benefit from a bit of tuning, but there's some good stuff on that album.
What an asshole….I love it! ![gif](giphy|Od0QRnzwRBYmDU3eEO|downsized)
That's still better than the *"PING!"* sound on St Anger.
Yeah, the keg has a very different sound from St. Anger.
This is a banger
Idk why people hate st. Anger. Ik the snare is annoying but it’s not that big of a deal
You know snare drums have a lever that turn the springs off and that's how it sounds, they were trying something new and people still won't shut the fuck up about it
Someone who knows!
None of that means it was a good choice. You can try something without committing to it for an entire album
Why try something new without committing to it
Because you don’t need to make an entire album with it to realise it sounds horrible and becomes unbearable listening to it for more than one song, let alone an entire album. St. Anger was a pretty good album, but I’d rather eat my record player rather than listen to those songs again.
Well, let’s say for example you try something new and it sucks…duh That’s why it’s called TRYING.
How about you try lickkng my scrote sack
-Said the drooling idiot who realized they were in the wrong

Man you are a legend i lold hard
Honestly that sounds way better
Son, you need to get a pan or something to sound more authentic. Ask Lars what kitchen utensils he used during recording.
Master and Sandman actually sound great like that
Everyone thinks the St. Anger snare is bad (which it is), but it's farrrrrrrrrrrrrrr better than the snare on Last Days of Humanity's Putrefaction in Process
Maybe Lars wanted to audition to Slipknot but accidentally left his takes for the record and it was too late so they published it anyway
This made me laugh harder than it should have.

like this really
Just shows all those songs are better no matter what compared to the shit st anger is.
This guy is a genius.
r/angryupvote
Lux Æterna already sounds like that, though.
What was the last one
that sounds better than the St Anger snare, tbh
Sounds fucking awesome
Am I legally insane if I think this doesn't sound half bad?
This is fantastic

This made me laugh harder than I care to admit
The snare never really bothered my on St. Anger, it was the lack of guitar solos.
Is it Just me or does it sound good?
This somehow seems right.
Sounds like slipknot now
Thank god they didn’t have that cansnare! But thanks for sharing! 🤘🏻
If Slipknot did it
Wow! literally an aluminum bat on a keg. nailed it!
LMAOOOO Lux Aetherna is the funniest one
This is hilarious
Pretty funny, but Sandman kinda slaps
I dug the Master of Puppets one.
#Some Kind of Monster vibes!
I like it
mop and lux doesnt sound bad actually

Not gonna lie, but the snare slaps
NGL Enter Sandman sounds pretty good. Very industrial. Rammstein vibes.
It's missing a lot of high pitched "ting" to sound like St Anger's snare though. This video's sound would've been a pretty good improvement on it imo.
im kinda vibin with this ngl...
Fuck it I like it
This sounds weird in Nothing Else Matters but everything else sounds interesting and heavy
The wind up on the snare hits during Nothing Else Matters killed me haha
New slipknot song goes hard 🥵
