Deserves to be a double cd
anger stuff, I would've liked a more complete soundtrack, this full priced ep with the chinese t shirt is cheezy. Here's the complete songlist from the movie credits, with the exception of the st. if they included the st. anger songs, they could've included raw alternative studio cuts. the ennio morricone song would've been a slam dunk closer.

How did this happen?
" and "Ride the Lightning", from the early days, and massacre them like this? They brought those sonic masterpieces all the way down to the level of the train wreck that was "St. How could Metallica take great songs like "Damage Inc. Anger". James' weak and incoherent voice would have been acceptable if I hadn't listened to some of Metallica's other Live releases and KNOWN that he could have done better. And why the hell is Lars still banging on tin cans instead of a real percussion set? It was that kind of drumming that utterly destroyed "St. Anger", yet somehow Ulrich hasn't gotten the hint yet.

It's amazing. It's as if these guys were TRYING to obliterate their own songs.

Metallica Live
Yes it is a soundboard recording, but you can go to [. Ok, this is pretty cool exept that this is way too short. . . ] to download any of the Metallica shows posted for free. This is completely legal because it is part of the band's site. Plus the band encourages the trading and recording of their shows over the internet. They just don't want you to download their studio music.


Waste of good money
I bought this CD without listening to the clips and boy, do I repent! This is probably the worst music Metallica has produced. . Don't waste even a penny on this garbage.


Great Single
The live tracks are great, especially Motorbreath. This CD & T-shirt are well worth the price, you can also just get the CD for ten dollers. Some Kind of Monster is a great song, the full length 8:30 track is much better than the edited version 4:16 seen on the video. Also the shirt is great, the design is the Some Kind of Monster full body. And if you a really a fan of this band, you'll like this.
