I admire what Metallica have tried to do here - spicing up a standard concert film by adding some narrative - but it doesn't really work as you don't really care what's going on outside the venue, especially since it makes no sense! It's basically just the roadie running around, being chased in a fantasy land. The only difference being that this concert is interspersed with 2-5min clips of the roadie (DeHaan) fetching a bag. Pretty simple - if you like Metallica, you'll enjoy this film, and if you don't like their music - don't watch it! It's essentially a concert film, although shorter than usual, since they only play 14 songs over 90min, rather than the usual 18-20 songs over 140min. There's nothing like seeing Metallica live, as the 15,000 people in the crowd can attest to! Reviewed by Gavin Purtell 6 / 10 2 stars for the "film" component, 4 stars for the concert. Meanwhile, the show must go on, and Metallica thrills the crowd with a thunderous collection of classics that include "Creeping Death", "Ride the Lightning", "Master. When Trip incurs the wrath of the ruthless, hammer-wielding psycho and his marauding gang, he realizes that he may not live long enough to complete his mission. The city is burning, and a mysterious, masked figure on horseback is thriving on the chaos. It's his job to recover it, but getting there won't be easy because as the elaborate concert gets underway, rioters and police begin clashing in the streets.

As the band takes the stage before thousands of screaming fans, Trip is informed that a driver tasked with delivering a crucial item has gotten stranded on the other side of the city. The fact is that they are selling some songs over and over again in completely same version! And tell me, what’s the difference between DVD Concert and “Six Feet Down Under”? It’s the fucking same thing, only with less good sound and there is no picture to see what’s happening.A young Metallica roadie named Trip (Dane DeHaan) embarks on an apocalyptic journey through a decimated urban landscape as the band plays to a sold-out arena crowd in this high-concept concert film from director Nimrod Antal (Predators). Yeah, me too, but we are not talking about that right now. “As a fan i like to have many different versions of tracks” There are editions that I really don’t understand, but, like Alejandro said, as a Metallica fan I’ll keep collecting all that stuff. I’m biiiiig Metallica fan, but from day to day I am more worried about all this situation. “Only the artwork is the new stuff on this, is the same quality from recordings that’s not new material, but as a metallica fan and collector i keep collecting all this shit…” Posted on November 15th, 2010 at 12:22 am WRT Metallica the simple fact is that the old stuff is better than the new – new stuff is good but old stuff is great I find it difficult to understand why people getting this for nothing complain so much about Metallica re-issuing versions of old tunes.Īs a fan i like to have many different versions of tracks – look at NIN they do it all the time and i love each and every one for what they are simply different
#METALLICA RIDE THE LIGHTNING TORRENT PLUS#
Plus with all of the things the band was going through, it’s no wonder. They only have one album that wasn’t great and it still had some good tunes on it. Anybody that knocks Metallica must not appreciate the music…and that IS what it’s all about…music appreciation. I think it’s pretty great to see these guys still jammin’ and playing their old tunes.

They should be fisted 24 hours a day with knives. they need to stop recycling this much!įuck Metallica.
