Jason Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Quote In February 2017, days before Metallica announced its WorldWired North American stadium tour, Live Nation president of U.S. concerts Bob Roux spoke by phone with a little-known wealth adviser turned event promoter who had been tasked by an associate of the band to sell 88,000 tickets directly on resale sites like StubHub, without giving fans a chance to buy them through normal channels at face value. https://www.billboard.com/articles/business/8521538/live-nation-resale-market-secretly-recorded-phone-calls-concert-tickets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silentbob Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Yeah I saw this news and I guess I’m not too surprised in some ways. It sucks that we get ripped off on ticket pricing because they know people will shell out the money to see their favourite artist. I like what The Foo Fighters did a few years back and didn’t allow online sales for their concerts for their either Sonic Highways or Wasting Light tour. Had to show up at the venue itself to buy your tickets and still sold out in 20 minutes. Then you wonder how many Live Nation has already shoved aside for resale later. There should be some sort of oversight committee into seeing this doesn’t happen. Wishful thinking but who knows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same bunch of pussies crusader against Napster for having a file of an unreleased song that could have only been uploaded by their own fucking people. ... and then the album wasn’t worth the cost of the Bandwidth it would have taken to download it.

Jason Posted July 23, 2019 Author Share Posted July 23, 2019 Megadeth is largely shit nowadays, but unlike Metallica they still manage to pump out the occasional good song because if everything is going well for Mustaine he'll just invent something to rage about. The Metallica guys have no anger to harness any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloodporne Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 1 hour ago, Jason said: Except for basically silencing the bass on And Justice For All And Justice... in general is a fucking mess sound-wise. Put on Kill 'Em All or Ride The Lightning and then that. The guitar sound and EQ-ing sounds like a single bee in a soda can (not in a cool way), the drums sound like a Fisher Price toy with insanely aggressive triggering and well, there is no bass as everyone knows. I have nothing against the material as far as I recall, just think the sound robbed it of any impact it may have had to my ears. 47 minutes ago, Jason said: Megadeth is largely shit nowadays, but unlike Metallica they still manage to pump out the occasional good song because if everything is going well for Mustaine he'll just invent something to rage about. The Metallica guys have no anger to harness any more. Outside of the first two, I'd take basically most Megadeth albums over Metallica. Mustaine's voice annoys the piss out of me for the most part but that whole batch of early albums especially is pure gold song-writing and playing wise. 58 minutes ago, SFLUFAN said: LULU is one of the greatest/worst things I have experienced in my 44.5 years of existence. A friend of mine who is equally as snobby about music and myself listened to the entire travesty of an album all the way through once just for the LULZ, excuse the pun. Just a perfect storm of pure musical diarrhea on ever level. The insipid throw-away riff tape nonsense "songs", Lou Reed's confused old man rambling on a park bench antics, Hetfield pretending to be really deep and still YEAH YEAH-ing...it's SO good.

Early Slayer recordings sound like they were recorded inside a tuna can... but those are some awesome songs. And really the last two Metallica records have been a little better. Death Magnetic was worlds better than (black album/load/ reload/ st Anger). Hardwired was better yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gonna judge on the quality of the mix given that, IIRC, they intentionally turned down the bass track—it's not like it was an honest recording fuckup nor due to being recorded on shitty equipment.
