      It was the epitomy of the music industry. They had money to spend on seemingly "alternative" stuff to make them mainstream and earn even more money. Best studios, best producers, best technicians, best equipment, as much time as needed to complete the work. Now things are "easier" to do, and even I can record my own songs, but it's hard to reach that same level of perfection without such a great team of talents. People still make the difference. Less money per song, less (qualified) people per song, less perfection.

    My favorite solo from the Album is the Unforgiven Solo, which has no Wah. Also you can say what you like about Kirk's playing but I've always found it really unique. He's not the most innovative player or the best player or anything, but it always fits the music, but also doesn't sound anything like what I imagine most guitar players would come up with. That means something.

  • @TotoDG

      He did use one in Hit the Lights. But other than that, he doesn't wah that much in the first 4 albums and after that Kirk used Wah for half of each album except St. Anger which actually had 2 wah parts, both intros to Shoot Me Again and All Eithin My Hands.

    My connection with the black album is that it introduced me to Metallica. Having only been 9 years old at the time, the fact that it went "mainstream" is what brought it to my attention. I'm not even afraid to admit that for far too long, I thought the black album was their first album! Then I met a kid at school that was into heavy metal at the time thanks to his older brothers and he said, "If you think the black album is good, you have to check out their first 4 albums!" And thus started my 30 year following of Metallica.

      That's silly, of course not. They are sellouts for consciously making music to appeal to the mainstream and the radio that's devoid of much real feeling or effort.
      Some bands keep their original style/feel and still become adored by the masses, but the allure of "even more money/fame" is too great for most bands. Yes, I said most bands... it's a natural progression when fame and fortune are your only goal.

      I know far more ex-Metallica fans within the group that grew up with them. That says something. Going d1ckhard for Napster was a loser move, as well.
      If, as a culture, we rewarded artists with a semi-rational paycheck, they would continue to work hard and be true to their art. I don't think Picasso, Mozart, Da Vinci, Beethoven,etc... lived in equivalent digs as musicians, fine artists or sports figures of today. Granted, I hold art in high regard and that paycheck should be significant.

      To further illustrate, I grew up listening to my uncle's AC/DC records. They took "Fly on The Wall" and "Flick of The Switch" in a slightly different direction and they were decent albums, though not huge commercial success. They started selling out with "Who Made Who" then carried on for the next two albums.

One day I was borrowing my friend's copy of the Black Album on cassette, and this girl, who was always for whatever reason trying to convince everybody that I worshipped Satan or maybe that I in fact WAS Satan, takes it and starts underlining lyrics in "The God That Failed" and showing it to people as proof that I was a Satanist.

      @@Mike_H76 I mean, I'll say it: Load is a killer album. It's hard rock, not metal - but there are some incredible tracks on that disc that I'd listen to regardless of what band's name was on the cover. The Outlaw Torn alone is worth the price of admission, IMO.

      You need a balance the right amount of poppiness to get a good song. Too poppy and you end up with something like Dance Monkey that makes you wish you never had ear drums. Not poppy enough and you end up with Cookie Monster metal that also makes you wish you never had ear drums.

    Umm Metallica used Wah as far back as Master of Puppets. Listen to solos like Damage Inc and Disposable Heroes. Even farther if you check out his trapped under ice solo. Personally as far as wah in the black album solos, it adds some personality from Kirk to the song. Its not so much how much wah, but WHERE to wah. And he puts it in just the right places in my opinion.

    That record was overplayed and made me hate Metallica. I can't take hearing it anymore. I do still like the first 4 records when they played faster more like a speed metal or thrash band. They slowed down on the black album and although it did sound good it wasn't like the old stuff. I prefer the old raw sound they had over the polished sound they got with Bob Rock on the black album. I didn't care for much after that record either. Just lost my taste for them. Well at least I still have the first 4. Almost like a different band on the first 4.

    As a huge metallica fan I just want to say that if you pause the screen at 3:00 a d read that article kirk never actually says that this is his first time using a wah. What he actually said is that before the black album he would write the solos without the wah, then add the wah to see if it, "brought anything more out."

    Hello. Cool video. Since you're interested in that fat crunchy metal sound, I'll tell you how I got close to it in the 90's. I started with a 1970's custom 4x12" speaker cabinet that totally sucked and had totally flat sounding paper cones. (like a walkie talkie speaker) I was motivated to change the speakers and get a better tone, and what I put in was one 12" british series speaker from a Carvin, one 12" Marshall speaker out of a blown up practice amp, and 2 aluminum cone 12's out of a "modern" 90's hartke bass cabinet enclosure. The ohms were not going to add up right, so I had to use a capacitive passive crossover on 1 of the aluminum hartke speakers so the overall cab would be 4 ohms total. It was to get me by until I could buy 3 more marshal speaks... NOPE. LOVED it and never told anyone what an accidental mutt it was. Happy tuning all!
