I kind of actively despise this. Good grief. I think you pretty much nailed it, Craig. If you went and saw Metallica play this show WITHOUT the symphony you would no doubt walk away thinking they had put together one of the worst possible set lists they had ever played in their entire existence as a band. It's like they're going out of their way to avoid playing their good songs here. And the only reason I can think that they would do that is to accommodate the symphony. Okay. Fair enough. That's the whole point of this terrible experiment, right? But then Jesus Christ the orchestrations suuuucks. Most of the time I don't even notice it because I'm too focused on whatever the hell James is doing to butcher the singing of these songs. But then when I do notice the other musicians I do not like what I hear. It's bad movie music. And you know how I know it's bad movie music? Because they open the whole fucking set with actual good movie music! It's all downhill after that. Actually, there is one thing I liked. If you listen closely, every now and then, you can hear Jason Newstead singing backups and it sounds like he is doing his damndest to add some gnarliness to the whole affair. It sounds kinda cool. Just not cool enough.
