Hi guys
i´m trying to figure out what effect this at the beginning of the song.
At first i thought it was a flanger but not sure.

This reminds me I still have to go through my pictures of Metallica & other bands when I saw them live over a year ago.
Rob has some spooky spidery flanger type of effect on his bass at the very beginning.
James' guitar sounds chorused on a quite fast, 'wobbly' setting but mixed in quite low, then delayed quite prominently (which adds to the wobble). However it could also be a a flanger on a fast Rate, low Colour/Feedback, and low Range or mix. Flanger & Chorus are similar in their makeup, but they have different base delay times.
I wish he ran the chorus on his heavy guitar sound but a slow Speed, just to give it that wicked swirl. It would sound killer for that particular song.
The "swooping" effect on Kirk's guitar sound near the end, is definitely a flanger effect with a high Colour/Resonance setting.
Mind you though the guitar tones are awesome in this particular recording. For ages the recording always sounds dull and bland, like half the gain and character got sucked out.
