Who just did Metallica's : Nothing Else Matters ?

 

wasnt listening to it bud , but if u find the website the have a list of all todays played songs ,

sure ull find it

 

Wasn't Jamie Foxx was it?

 

It was Metallica m8
Thjink it was from the reloaded album not sure.

 

Dirty fookin greeb!

Has Dave been banned?? or just actually working!

 

I'm pretty certain it wasn't James Hetfield on the colin and edith show earlier, and it wasn't of reloaded Benn you

 

it was..........Metallica from the 1999 - S & M tour live cd

 

pmsl, I caught the last bit of it and was defo hetfield m8, was an acoustic version.

 

Thats the one, thats what i meant not reloaded lol

 

hehe big fan< seen em 4 times

 

Me aswell lol, only seen them once though

Would of liked to see them this year but there only doing the download festival

 

I hate to break this to you, but, there was no orchastra in the background, just 1 man, and 1 guitar, now, as much as I hate the station, I stopped and listened to it all the way through. Deffo did not have the "rough" voice that james had. Nothing on the damn site about it. And i'm fucked if I'm doing that listen again crap.

 

dan it was hetfield lol, there was some sort of orchestral background to it.
But as I say I only caught the last 1min of it but was defo hetfield

 

i listened again and its not off the actual s&m cd as i have it but it is what it is lol some ochestral thingy.

 

it was hetfield just need to find out what gig its from :P

 

Didn't hear it (had Virgin on at work)

But....

There no such album as RELOADED Load : yes... Reload : Yes... Reloaded? No

Secondly, the S&M version is longer, and has full orchestral backing. If it was a studio recording and had an orchestra in it, it would be the "elevator" version of it (released as a B-Side to the Nothin Else Matters single in 1992)

If it was a single acoustic guitar with just Hetfield singing on it's own, it's probably a live version recorded at either Donnington Download (Radio 1 sponsor) or possibly from the "Poor Touring me" tour (96-97-98 tour for the Load/Reload albums)

 

GAYdio 1?????????

 

Just listened to it (found the podcast of Colin and Ediths show) and it is the "Elevator Version" that was on the 1992 single.

Story behind that song is, Michael Kamen (the guy that wrote the scores for the S&M album and conducted the orchestra - has also worked with LOADS of bands and orchestras : The Beatles, The Who, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, amongst others) wrote the score for the orchestral parts in Nothin Else Matters. What you hear in the Elevator version is what was actually recorded. When it came to mixing the song for the album tho, the band felt a tad uneasy about such a "soppy sounding ballad" (Lars quote) and the orchestral score was trimmed and pushed well low in the mix. The original "band" version of Nothin Else Matters is how the song was originally recorded. The Elevator version is basically the original orchestral score, redubbed with Hetfield and Hammet on acoustic guitars, with Hetfields vocals. Lars and Jason didn't play on this version.

The original score was later used again by Kamen for the S&M concert but tweaked slightly to take advantage of the full band setting on stage.

 

Well that cleared *that* up then

What colour pants was Hetfield wearing Thrush?

 

Hey, I just know my Metallica okay?

(ps, don't think he was wearing any - far too for that )

 

i never bought that single, i only got the album

 

Thrush, do you have it chap ? Or have I got to go to the usual sources for it ?

 

Heard it myself as had it on in the garage
Wife told me too turn it down as i wound the volume to full as Metallica started
Thrush is that the same version as on the 12" single (you know floppy vinyl disc thing )?

 

I do have it, of course Actually I have two versions - one is the full 6:31 min version and the other is an edited 4:31 version.....

You want one?

send me your emaal addy chap

 

Jules - I've not got a 12" version (vinyl? Wassat then? I was born in the 80's man! ), I only have the Nothing Else Matters singel on CD, but I pressume it probably is! Should be about 6 and a half mins long, be just James singing (same vocal track as the original album verison) a couple of acoustic guitars, and a full 40pce orchestra - no elec guitars, no drums, no bass or backing vocals)

 

Send them both, you'll probably have to zip them with winzip, winrar, or xp's zipping program.

DanRSturbo@blueyonder.co.uk 10 meg broadband so don't fret too much if it's between 6 and 20 meg lad

 

Too late Thrush i have already dug it out
Got both versions on the 12" vinyl copy

 

Spadge, can you back that up onto .mp3 ?

 

Spadge likes Metallica

Told ya it was hetfield Dan

 

No but i can turn it up on the streogram and and you can hope the wind is blowing the right direction

 

Spadge - Nice! But the "Elevator" version (that was played on Radio 1, and that I am talking about) is not on your vinyl. The last track on that vinyl is a demo version as recorded on Lars analog 8 track in his basement! James and Lars recorded pretty much everything on 4 or 8 tracks together before taking to the rest of the band and piecing a track together in the studio

Send me your email if you want a copy of this elevator version 6mb file tho

Dan - on the way chap

 

Benn
You would be amazed what i like lol
I have thousands of vinyl records with a good smattering of rare as the preverbial rockin horse shit stuff

 

Just didn't sound like him singing, and you was fooking mile's off with the album


Spadge, crank it

 

Yeah I know about the album but atleast I got the important bit right

Why is it though, that when radio 1 play metallica its always either nothing else matters of enter sandman?
Same with iron maiden its normally either number of the beast or run to the hills.

Spadge, was a big suprise when I saw you in the dance tent getting down to some oldskool at fordsport a couple of years ago, but would never of thought you would be a metallica fan

Excellent choice my old ginger ninja

 

 

forgot all about this
WTF christian?

 

You are indeed correct Thrush
But the elevator version is the 2nd track on my 'Sad but true' 12" single

 

Benn - cos they are the only two Metallica songs that are "socially accpeted" by the puny minded cretins that make up music charts

Tho they did have a fairly big "pop" hit with "The Memory Remains" from the Reload album (or was it Load? Can't remember) - they made it onto Top Of the Pops and The Chart Show with that one

Every now and again you get a "rouge" track on the radio - I remember listening to GLR 94.9 and them playing Rage Against The Machine's "Killing in the name of" at midday - tho they edited the word "fuck" out of every line of "fuck you I won't do what you tell me"

So all you got was "(pause) you! I won't do what ya tell me!" about 13 times

 

Aha! Good man - not many people buy BOTH versions of the same single

I myself bought all 4 CD version of "Four Leaf Clover" and all three CD's for "The Unforgiven II" But then, I'm a Metallica geek

 

And reading that on your LP has confirmed something I wasn't sure was true - the orchestra on the recording is the LSO - London Symphony Orchestra! The principal percussionist I know quite well and have worked with many times over the years
