It feels like a personal attack that I can't go on youtube and watch a montage of Lars banging out the machine-gun ending part of Room of Mirrors, in various stages of reddening face, till you'll hear Greg Fidelman say "I think we got it", and Lars would do his Oscar Performance™️ of being out of breath and stumbling out of the drum kit.

I've been robbed, personally.

Friday, August 31: Slayer, “Snuff”

Slayer put out one more record before announcing their farewell in 2018, but their true end came almost a decade earlier with World Painted Blood, as it was the last time all four original members played together, to say nothing of it being Jeff Hanneman’s last record.  And although Kerry King claimed that the late guitarist was barely involved in the recording of most Slayer records, usually only recording his solos, there was no denying Hanneman’s value as both a writer and a counterpoint to King’s composing style.  As a result, even a track like “Snuff”, which was written solely by King, was a bit more focused than, say, Christ Illusion’s “Flesh Storm” or “Catalyst”: it offered King’s classic blend of hardcore and thrash, but didn’t flail aimlessly, and there was no doubt that Hanneman’s more deliberate writing style pushed King to work a little harder, especially since World Painted Blood was largely driven by Hanneman.  Beyond that, “Snuff” was representative of late-period Slayer, with all the good and bad that entailed, since Greg Fidelman’s production followed Josh Abraham’s work on Christ Illusion and tamped down the ferocity in Dave Lombardo’s drumming, while Tom Araya’s shouting occasionally felt like a panicked attempt at recapturing the wrath of old.  At the same time, Slayer was incapable of not kicking ass, and the track didn’t deviate from the course, even if Terry Date would’ve delivered a far more powerful production and Araya could’ve used a longer break from touring before recording his vocals.  In truth, one could only expect so much from Slayer by this point, and when grading on a curve, “Snuff” raged with a fury that could only come from this particular group of individuals.

Metallica Report - episode 33&34 with Greg Fidelman

You know, James doing the solo vocal with the orchestra for “The Unforgiven III? That was especially intense because he was alone out there with that orchestra, no band mates, no guitar. It was a moment, both nights. You could tell he was anxious about it, and you could tell that he felt out of his element. The initial concept of him doing that was all his own making. He threw the ball on the court by saying, “What if we did a song with vocals and orchestra only?” We did struggle with that arrangement, and it was one of the few songs that we went back to arranger Bruce Coughlin with changes. Then there was the lack of time for James to be able to rehearse it with the orchestra. We ran it twice, once at the Cow Palace rehearsal and then show day rehearsal, so it was super intense.

Metallica Producer Compares Working With Johnny Cash to James Hetfield: 'James Isn't the Middle-Finger Guy People See From the Outside'

'So for me, and most people, probably, working with Johnny Cash was completely fairytale stuff.'

Interesting comparison. 🤔🤔😉😉
