bloodbath

Metallica mistreated Jason Newsted, the replacement of Cliff Burton, for 14 years, as a way to cope with grief. He exit the band and Metallica almost disappeared. In Slipknot case, Paul Gray's death, one of the key members of the band, started a progressive replacement of various members, including Joey Jordison. All of those firings were quite shady, and nowadays even the band itself acknowledge that they're not close as they used to be.

I think it's fair and reasonable. Emily knows what she's gotten into, when a huge milestone comes, like the 20th anniversary of one of the most important albums of the band, she will know that her position will be more of a back character. But until then she has all the right to be in the spotlight, while the band supporting her and leaving behind that image of nostalgia act.

You're all right. It would be very easy to just upload a short 20 minute set to youtube and call it a day. BUT the situation it very different from the Papercuts "era", which basically was a celebration of the classic LP era. This is a matter of being coherent with your message. Since September the band has made very clear that they're looking forward to their future, not being locked in the past, albeit being respectful with it. Releasing that old show would just cast the image of a band unable to let go its past, even in the middle of a new release and a huge world tour. No matter how many things they do, they're stuck in that era. And yes, we all know that in reality just a short show wouldn't undermine the new era of LP and this is just a good gesture with the fans, but we are the hardcore fans, we are a tiny minority and many people out there don't think like us.

Even though I don't like bands releasing official live material so soon in the tour, because the songs and the setlist have to "mature" a little bit. Look at the Live in Texas situation. Even though those shows were great, they pale in comparison with late 2004 shows. Having said that, the truth is the Brasilian crowd is always great and worth an official release. And with a 2 hour show with some bonus songs, we have a great package here. So I'm glad about how everything has came out.

DVD, Blue ray, whatever, you're missing my point. The thing is, what's your problem if people want to consume music in a different way than you do? You need to be more open minded, the world doesn't spin around you.

Positive outcomes: Filming might take place during those two nights, so we could have extra songs A new DVD Negative outcomes: Even if they just film the first night I don't see them showing a 2 hour "film" they probably cut down some songs and we might have a Berlin 2012 situation

WE NEED A NEW DVD

I always have the feeling that in Spain most people have always seem LP as an 2004 outdated band.

Not to be that selfish asshole BUT, I know that it will be leaked and posted for downloading the same day or tomorrow so, I won't bother to watch it live haahahahahah

same here!

My verdict so far: I wouldn't have bet in my life for an hypothetical 8th album, so I can wait a little bit longer to have the physical CD on my hands to listen to it.

Anyone else doesn't want to listen the new song until the album is out?

Sounds great, too short for my taste but some elements could be used as intro

The thing with THP is it has become an album for hardcore fans. It never even appealed to the fans of two first records. Not to mention the only-singles fans. If we were talking about a single that never got it's live debut, yes, it has came out too late. But since it's an album for the minority, the impact is the same now than 10 years ago.

Fucking great!! The September 5th show was great but compared to what we've seen so far, a new pro shot was more than necessary

So, it's kinda like a Kiss or a Rammstein show, where's there's so much stage element involved that they can't change barely anything, right?

Why the production makes them unable to heavily change the setlist like in other tours?

Sorry for those guys to have that dude as a friend

Don't waste your time, he's lying

Can't believe that the band didn't consulted you to keep the band forward with one of your friends.

Thank you!!!

Where can I see the performance?

I'm up for any kind of pro shot release, so even it's just one song I'll take it

Do we know we're is this performance taken from?

For sure we'll have Over Each Other on the next full shows.
