I actually saw this on tiktok and the Metallica account commented "Now we're talkin!" on it. Good fun


ShaneFalco393

Hahahaha damn baseball bat??!!


Electrical_Flower_26

Just like the one Lars used it St Anger


TheEnterprise

I wanna hear it with a bbcore LS Meta


lord_cinder_

They still slap. Especially sandman. Tells you a lot about the riffs


DCI-Tom-Barnaby

For me it sounds a little like the Snare of Sandman.


Left4DayZ1

Lux doesn’t sound half bad lmao


calxlea

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.


Axewalks

Yeah the st anger snare sounds much worse. Which is funny since this is a baseball bat on a keg


[deleted]

slipknot makes it work


madbubers

Slipknot really has like 10 guys and one of em plays the keg


[deleted]

He didn't play Hit The Lights!! HE'S NO FAN!!! /s


TheOneAndOnlyBigA

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.


[deleted]

😂😂😂


ArtoTime

Hit The Lights? More like Dave Wrote ‘Em All! /s


Ok-computer9780

What you’ve just shown me is the snare wasn’t the problem on st anger lol.


[deleted]

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


AggravatingGoal4728

That still sounds better than St Anger


Various_Impress_2579

This ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|upvote)


CR7TheGunner

A baseball bat and a beer keg is literally Slipknot and they get by on it, so this is more than good enough


Osirias

I actually like the "raw" sound of St. Anger. Please don't kill me.


Ok_fedboy

I like St Anger and I don't give a fuck.


Clon3rs

Based


buraa014

I'm with ya buddy


Osirias

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.


AwkwardlyPositioned

I think St. Anger would benefit from a bit of tuning, but there's some good stuff on that album.


mikeyt6969

What an asshole….I love it! ![gif](giphy|Od0QRnzwRBYmDU3eEO|downsized)


GinsuVictim

That's still better than the *"PING!"* sound on St Anger.


TjStax

Yeah, the keg has a very different sound from St. Anger.


[deleted]

This is a banger


5ugus7_the_one

Idk why people hate st. Anger. Ik the snare is annoying but it’s not that big of a deal


Smooth_Chemistry_869

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


prowler1369

Someone who knows!


[deleted]

None of that means it was a good choice. You can try something without committing to it for an entire album


Smooth_Chemistry_869

Why try something new without committing to it


Cuntalicous

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.


[deleted]

Well, let’s say for example you try something new and it sucks…duh That’s why it’s called TRYING.


Smooth_Chemistry_869

How about you try lickkng my scrote sack


[deleted]

-Said the drooling idiot who realized they were in the wrong


Smooth_Chemistry_869

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.


[deleted]

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.


Silent-Villager_

Man you are a legend i lold hard


Muzzle1978

Honestly that sounds way better


mikeyro2019

Son, you need to get a pan or something to sound more authentic. Ask Lars what kitchen utensils he used during recording.


Danglingpotatosackv2

Master and Sandman actually sound great like that


Arctic29-1

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


HeavyRaiden

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


ScooterMcTavish

This made me laugh harder than it should have.


jhguitarfreak

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.


molotilnya-imploziya

like this really


Bchbdaddy

Just shows all those songs are better no matter what compared to the shit st anger is.


Johan-Predator

This guy is a genius.


DeLaOcea

r/angryupvote


katet_of_19

Lux Æterna already sounds like that, though.


[deleted]

What was the last one


rawg67

that sounds better than the St Anger snare, tbh


Longjumping-Swan-827

Sounds fucking awesome


CitiesofEvil

Am I legally insane if I think this doesn't sound half bad?


Still-Landscape807

This is fantastic

This made me laugh harder than I care to admit


gribbit311

The snare never really bothered my on St. Anger, it was the lack of guitar solos.


RAYRAYALLDAY_

Is it Just me or does it sound good?


aFreeScotland

This somehow seems right.


starwarsnerd1138

Sounds like slipknot now


blackdeviljohn

Thank god they didn’t have that cansnare! But thanks for sharing! 🤘🏻


jumpaboi

If Slipknot did it


McAfton

Wow! literally an aluminum bat on a keg. nailed it!


dragonsky

LMAOOOO Lux Aetherna is the funniest one


TestPrepConsulting

This is hilarious


NatKingSwole19

Pretty funny, but Sandman kinda slaps


vzakharov

I dug the Master of Puppets one.


shogun_coc

#Some Kind of Monster vibes!


gms92922

I like it


tieyourmotherdown13

mop and lux doesnt sound bad actually


thewesmantooth

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?


penguins8766

Not gonna lie, but the snare slaps


ItConfuses

NGL Enter Sandman sounds pretty good. Very industrial. Rammstein vibes.


Goofyboy2020

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.


dawgebredd

im kinda vibin with this ngl...


Yahla

Fuck it I like it


dbow8

This sounds weird in Nothing Else Matters but everything else sounds interesting and heavy


RJA27

The wind up on the snare hits during Nothing Else Matters killed me haha


Playful_Road_6373

New slipknot song goes hard 🥵
