Metallica New Song

[magpie_militia]

I have heard that Metallica have a new song. Has anyone heard it? I am interested to know what it's like.

going by the last 15 odd years of Metallica music, I'm gunna go out on a limb here and predict it's crap.

Its actually pretty good, they're obviously over compensating for the no solos on their last one though, it's very show-off like, and James' vocals arent as good as they used to be, but still, not bad.

Seems pretty cool & definitely a step in the right direction.

Saw the vid on youtube.com, think it was filmed @ Download festival.
Audio quality wasnt the best but seems heaps better than the crap they have dished out last few albums.

Solos dont make metallica songs great, its mainly the great riffs.
I hope they dont make it too flashy and add a bit of grunt and a few different time signiture and interesting riffs eg Ride the Lightning

I had a thread about it, this was a little while ago.

You can download the song through there. Also since then I think a better version of the song has been released through Live Metallica.

If you look through some of the unofficial forums you should be able to track down the recording without too many dramas.
