    It’s crazy that Robert is almost in all of these recordings of the songs and Kirk just comes in for the solos. Trujillo legit makes the band work harder and better.

    They seem to be in great physical shape for a bunch of 53 year olds, especially Lars on the drums and James' downpicking. Also they seem to be having a lot of fun while still working hard and concentrating on the album. Keep up the good work guys

    So, the legendary "EET FUK" is only for recordings right now? It will be great to see that guitar in a concert someday.

    • @ilkeguneysahin4589
      @ilkeguneysahin4589 8 лет назад +74

      I think it is like that because that guitar (and a couple of others) have history with James and are irreplaceable compared to the the Snakebyte or Iron Cross.

      @james_d_eaton 8 лет назад +66

      James' old Vs and Explorers are only used for recording now. They are beat to shit, but have some of the best guitar tone of all his axes. Classic songs were written and recorded on those beauties.

    • @Frontbuner
      @Frontbuner 7 лет назад +11

      You even see the Jackson King V that James used during the Master of Puppets tour that Jackson gave him to use to hoping he would join their artist roster.

    • @martos60
      @martos60 6 лет назад +18

      His old explorers are only for the studio now because they are really fucked up from constant touring and playing and they won't hold up if he brings them on tour now.The EET FUK I read it was repaired probably 100 times.

      Lars' creativity and talent have never diminished. He's just lazier when it comes to practicing these days. Drums aren't a high priority for his time. His choice.

    Not only do they give us free songs from the new album, but they give us backstage pass for a little while.
    Couldn't ask for more, seeing their creative process is so cool.

    I'm surprised Lars didn't change the band to 'Lars feat. James, Kirk and Rob'

    Who else thinks that some of the working titles are actually better than the final titles?

      That's The Thing with working titles sometimes...They sound good on paper but sometimes don't match the album concept. Just Look at "Disneyland Acid-Trip" by Sevenfold

    Hear me out: the ascending-descending part (like Rob plays at 7:22) would be bad-ass with brass horns. Maybe trombones on the first up-and-down, joined by trumpets on the next one. I always hear it that way, and I have no idea why.
