Have you heard it? It's Metalica live with an orchestra, it sunds pretty cool on most tracks.

I really like Metallica (up to "the Black album"), but never thought I'd live to see the day they'd get an orchestra in. I feel sorry for the orchestra

(Sorry, I don't like it!)

I thought it was really well done, and that the orchestra really added to their songs.  Plus some unlistenable garbage from the Load/Reload albums sounds considerably better on there.

I think it's an amazing album. I'm a huge Metallica fan (even the Load/Reload material), and I think everything was great on that album. I also think Hetfields singing was at it's best.

Conducted by the late great Michael Kamen, too (apparently a big Metallica fan in his own right).

Have to say I wondered whether this would work, but the orchestra seemed to fit in with the more overblown tracks like 'Kthulu'.

I'm very sorry for this but if you knew me personaly you would know that I think S & M is the worst live album I have ever heard.  I pretty much thought this even when Metallica (....sorry to say) was my favorite band.  The band lost it after

For the record, "AJFA" is my fave 'Ta

I don't think Kamen is a genious.

He brings the orchestra together in a very slick way, but the lights and shades he brings out are too predictable to be expressive enough for my taste. And I'm not keen on the slick, homogenous sound - altogethe

I guess I can agree with you. But I can really appreciate all that he did (who he worked with) in the business.
