Metallica - Live at Slim's '96 - Load Box Set

[TheGreatGreen]

Hot damn they sounded good back then.

The debut of James “yodelayheehoo” Hetfield. No thank you sir.

 

[TheGreatGreen]

Say what you want about James’ vocals but that is pretty much THE live high gain tone. Amount of gain, tightness, EQ signature, chunk, clank, etc. It’s all there.

What was he using anyway? Was that his Triaxis x4 rig?

 

[Holy-diver]

The box sets are really cool, lots of clips and deep cuts and awesome live shows. Slims is cool, and Irvine 96. My favorite will forever be Seattle 89 though, glad they released it with the Justice box. They used to always have rockin ass tone. Proof that real amps will forever > everything

Pro Tools workin' overtime to fix Lars's drumming.

Much prefer James's C++ graphic EQ and Aphex parametric EQ double scooped late 80s tone. His Load tone lacked fibre:

Its wild anyone could ever claim Lars as an influence, holy shit

Yeah that was a great live tone/mix.

 

[JR-OZ]

Wow this kind of shocked me lol Sounds great. I love this era because if you saw them in the right arena, there was this sludge deal to their tone. I like how the low end is Elongated. There is this sag thats kind of cool.

Nice!

 

[SpiderWars]

WTF is happening at around 6:15! Kirk nods to someone off stage and then proceeds to TOTALLY NOT play what we are hearing. Watch his hands...not him playing that solo. WTF? I want to hear the actual performance...or do I?

 

[DanTravis62]

Great sound quality, ....but

What a fucking garbage setlist

The one time you can hear mostly james and no kirk and lars, the only two fast songs are the easiest songs to play on planet earth

This was definitely lazy mode metallica

Listen to audience footage of their stuff vs the official live footage. Lars's meter is all over the place, and he never plays the double bass or fills right. Makes you wonder if Mike Clink got fired from Justice for bringing in a ghost drummer.

Everytime we put a record out, we lose people that can't deal with the growth.


Lars Ulrich

 

[Fiesta Red]

Kirk during his Dave Navarro dress-up days

 

[PiggySmallz]

If i remember correctly didnt James speed most of those songs up that night because Lars was so awful?

 

[RaceU4her]

they are not a good live band

 

[DanTravis62]

"Growth" LOL

Yeah definitely been doing some serious experimental growth the past few decades, definitely not stagnation and laziness

I think it was try acid but they started using recto in here some where near this time so idk
Also used mark ivs on live shit before this
