Topic: Metallica - Death Magnetic

Any comments on how the Guitar Hero versions of the songs are better quality than those on the CD? I was planning on picking the album up, but now I think I'll hold off and see if something better is released.

Kotaku has a side by side comparison and the difference is very noticable.

If I want loud music, I'll turn my speakers up.

Yeah the difference between the two was striking. I'm hoping someone drops a GH rip ... somewhere ... for me to ... "obtain." Does kind of make me regret buying the CD. I chalked up the distortion on the CD to a bad rip, I downloaded prerelease, but I guess that's just the mastering.

There is a GH3 rip on the internet, but there are a couple glitches on it, which completely ruin the experience, though as a whole it does sound a lot better than the retail release. I'll try to remake a GH3 rip on my own, and if I do...I might let some people know how, or where, to get it.

The album's pretty good.  Much better than St. anger, not saying st. anger completely sucked...It sucked by metallica standards.  Frantic was a pretty good track.  Still better than a lot of the gunk Slipknot and Disturbed give us IMO.

I like My Apocalypse the best so far.  The beginning sounds like a heavier intro to "Just What I Needed" to me. LOL.

Death Magnetic is fucking amazing. It makes System of a Down look like crap. Oh my god.

Come on now, it's good but not THAT good.

Well...
I do like it more than anything SOAD has done... Okay, I don't think I could ever seriously call System of a Down crap. But I do like this Metallica CD way more than any SOAD stuff.

You have no idea.

I would do terrible, horrible things to go to that Metallica concert coming up in Milwaukee. My friend Casey is going and he said that he would pay for half of my ticket. He said he is getting front row seats... I'll believe that when I see it, but any seat would drive me insane just to be there, so I'm going to get that money... which I don't have... I hope he can get tickets.

Seats? At a Metallica concert? That doesn't make any sense. Rage Against the Machine played in West Palm (with Wu-Tang Clan), and the audience tore just about every seat out of the stadium.

... well, I'm just saying, I have my heart set on getting tickets to that concert. If I stop posting, assume I've been moshed to death.
