Side note: I would be terrified to play in front of a crowd that big!! Hit a wrong note and 10,000 people hear it!! Jeez!

| | Amen! | | Join Date: Mar 2006 Location: Eagle River, Alaska | | | It's always an interesting experience to watch Rob play. Sometimes it looks like he's in extreme pain, others it looks like he just fudged up real bad, and others he looks possessed.
Can't knock his playing though, especially since he plays it at his shins. |

Hey, I have a question: does Rob keep up with the songs using only his fingers?
Hahaha all those Germans during Creeping Death singing "THE! THE! THE!!!"

some times he uses he swings his index finger back and forth like playing a pick...
I just saw whereever I may roam, and all I have to say is WOW!!!
Hey, in Master of Puppets, is that James's old explorer :|!!?

Kirk is out of tune (as usual from the live footage I've seen), they're bending the strings sharp in the harmony section and, as previously noted, Lars isn't known for his steady tempos.
Rob does a good enough job but why have your bass so low if you have to then prop it up on your leg to play any intricate parts???
I know I'll probably be flamed for this post but as a long standing Metallica fan (Puppets was one of the first albums I owned), that wasn't great.

Lars and Kirk do at least. Rob does fine and I do think that James is sounding pretty good. I am holding out hope that the next album doesn't suck.
But god - they got old!

| | | | am i the only person who thinks rob sucks? he has no dynamics at all in this show. his clean is unaudible, ane then his distortion is so overbearing. one second hes not there, the next hes screaming LOOK AT ME!
it sounds like hes popping every note, atleast to me it does.
i shouldnt say he sucks cuz hes good enough for metallica, but he hasnt shown me anything yet. and ive seen them with him twice live.
they gave him a solo and he was more concerned with spinning around in a circle or drumming on his bass to play one.
i dont wanna turn this into a rob bashing post but god...gimma jason anyday

| In fairness to him, the overbearing distortion may be down to the sound guy but he does attack the notes a little too hard in places, especially in the middle of Orion, which should be calm and smooth but isn't  |
