"The Ecstasy Of Gold"... e tutto si fece metallico.

Merda suonata dal vivo. Merda di qualità. Altissima qualità. Merda proposta a Mexico (i tre cd), e poi ancora altra merda, questa volta da San Diego (dvd 1) e pure da Seattle (dvd 2). Sono presenti tutte le dame, da "Master of Puppets", a "Enter Sandman", "Nothing Else Matters", "Wherever I May Roam", ecc. ecc.

Che dire. Tre ore che si alternano tra le grida di James, le splendide schitarrate di Hammet, il ruggito della quattro-corde di Newstead e l'immancabili groove di batteria di Ulrich. E che dire del medley di Justice, dei splendidi momenti di "The Unforgiven", di Hammett che durante uno dei tanti assoli prende la sua chitarra per usarla come carta da cesso (?!?), della prova alla batteria di Hetfield e l'assolo di basso di "Orion" (su dvd)... Impossibile descrivere a parole tutte le emozioni che si provano guardando questi concerti, vedere i soliti quattro ragazzi infuocare il mondo in tour, non rimanere incantati dai 18 minuti di "See And Destroy"... l'unica cosa che potrebbe veramente dare fastidio (a me me ne ha dato moltissimoooooooo) è "Master"...troncato prima dell'assolo di James e con conseguente perdita dell'intera seconda parte del brano!

Per tutti coloro che ancora oggi parlano male di Jason, consiglio vivamente il "watching" di questo Live Shit... scoprirete tutta la grandezza dell'ex bassista del gruppo metal per antonomasia. E capirete che Trujillo con il suddetto gruppo non centra un c**** ... :)

Ripeto, nessuna recensione potrà dare l'idea di ciò che sono questi concerti (specialmente i dvd)... quindi l'unico modo per capire il motivo di tanta grandezza è vederli, assolutamente... imperdibile, al 100 %.

Elenco tracce e testi

01   The Ecstasy of Gold / Enter Sandman (07:27)

02   Creeping Death (07:28)

Slaves
Hebrews born to serve
To the pharaoh
Heed
To his every word
Live in fear
Faith
Of the unknown one
The deliverer
Wait
Something must be done
Four hundred years

So let it be written
So let it be done
I'm sent here by the chosen one
So let it be written
So let it be done
To kill the first-born pharaoh son
I'm creeping death

Now
Let my people go
Land of Goshen
Go
I will be with thee
Bush of fire
Blood
Running red and strong
Down the Nile
Plague
Darkness three days long
Hail to fire

So let it be written
So let it be done
I'm sent here by the chosen one
So let it be written
So let it be done
To kill the first-born pharaoh son
I'm creeping death

-Solo-

Die by my hand
I creep across the land
Killing first-born man
Die by my hand
I creep across the land
Killing first born man

I
Rule the midnight air
The destroyer
Born
I shall soon be there
Deadly mass
I
Creep the steps and floor
Final darkness
Blood
Lambs blood painted door
I shall pass

So let it be written
So let it be done
I'm sent here by the chosen one
So let it be written
So let it be done
To kill the first-born pharaoh son
I'm creeping death

03   Harvester of Sorrow (07:18)

My life suffocates
Planting the seeds of hate
I've loved, turned to hate
Trapped far beyond my fate

I give
You take
This life that I forsake
Been cheated of my youth
You turned this lie to truth

Anger
Misery
You'll suffer unto me
Harvester of sorrow
Language of the mad
Harvester of sorrow

Pure black looking clear
My work is done soon here
Try getting back to me
Get back what used to be

Drink up
Shoot in
Let the beatings begin
Distributor of pain
Your loss becomes my gain

Anger
Misery
You'll suffer unto me
Harvester of sorrow
Language of the mad
Harvester of sorrow

All have said their prayers
Invade their nightmares
To see into my eyes
You'll find where murder lies
Infanticide

Harvester of sorrow
Language of the mad
Harvester of sorrow
Language of the mad
Harvester of sorrow

04   Welcome Home (Sanitarium) (06:39)

Welcome to where time stands still
no one leaves and no one will
Moon is full, never seems to change
just labeled mentally deranged

Dream the same thing every night
I see our freedom in my sight
No locked doors, No windows barred
No things to make my brain seem scarred

Sleep my friend and you will see
that dream is my reality
They keep me locked up in this cage
can't they see it's why my brain says Rage

Sanitarium, leave me be
Sanitarium, just leave me alone

Build my fear of what's out there
and cannot breathe the open air
Whisper things into my brain
assuring me that I'm insane

They think our heads are in their hands
but violent use brings violent plans
Keep him tied, it makes him well
he's getting better, can't you tell?

No more can they keep us in
Listen, damn it, we will win
They see it right, they see it well
but they think this saves us from our Hell

Sanitarium, leave me be
Sanitarium, just leave me alone
Sanitarium, just leave me alone

Fear of living on
natives getting restless now
Mutiny in the air
got some death to do
Mirror stares back hard
Kill, it's such a friendly word
seems the only way
for reaching out again.

I'm your truth, telling lies
I'm your reasoned alibis
I'm inside open your eyes
I'm you

sad but true

06   Of Wolf and Man (06:22)

Off through the new day's mist I run
Out from the new day's mist I have come
I hunt
therefore I am
harvest the land
taking of the fallen lamb

Off through the new day's mist I run
Out from the new day's mist I have come
we shift
pulsing with the earth
company we keep
roaming the land while you sleep

shape shift nose to the wind
shape shift feeling I've been
move swift all senses clean
earth's gift back to the meaning of life

bright is the moon high in starlight
chill in the air cold as steel tonight
we shift
call of the wild
fear in your eyes
it's later than you realized

shape shift nose to the wind
shape shift feeling I've been
move swift all senses clean
earth's gift back to the meaning of life

(guitar & drum solo)

I feel a change
back to a better day
(shape shift)hair stands on the back of my neck
(shape shift)in wildness is the preservation of the world

so seek the wolf in thyself

shape shift nose to the wind
shape shift feeling I've been
move swift all senses clean
earth's gift back to the meaning...

Of wolf, and man yeah

07   The Unforgiven (06:48)

New blood joins this earth
And quickly he's subdued
Through constant pained disgrace
The young boy learns their rules

With time the child draws in
This whipping boy done wrong
Deprived of all his thoughts
The young man struggles on and on he's known
A vow unto his own
That never from this day
His will they'll take away

What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never be
Never see
Won't see what might have been

What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never free
Never me
So I dub thee unforgiven

they dedicate their lives,
to running all of his
He tries to please them all
This bitter man he is
Throughout his life the same
He's battled constantly
This fight he cannot win
A tired man they see no longer cares
The old man then prepares
To die regretfully
That old man here is me

What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never be
Never see
Won't see what might have been

What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never free
Never me
So I dub thee unforgiven

[instrumental solo]

What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never be
Never see
Won't see what might have been

What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never free
Never me
So I dub thee unforgiven

Never free
Never me
So I dub thee unforgiven

You labeled me
I'll label you
So I dub thee unforgiven

Never free
Never me
So I dub thee unforgiven

You labeled me
I'll label you
So I dub thee unforgiven

Never free
Never me
So I dub thee unforgiven...
