METALLICA




Para empezar, Metallica es una banda atípica; por ejemplo: es un grupo americano fundado por un danés, Lars Ulrich. Otra cosa curiosa es que, después de casi 30 años de carrera sólo hayan publicado 9 álbumes de estudio (desde luego, prolíficos no son). Otro temita: echan a Dave Mustaine porque “se droga”, claro ahora me diréis que James hetfield es abstemio, nos ha jodido mayo con las flores ( ¿no será que le hacía sombra? ). Bueno, Mustaine fundó Megadeth y no le ha ido mal. Otro asunto curioso es que estos tipos van de reyes del trash-metal, pero no se les caen los anillos por recoger 9 Grammys, y -lo que es aún peor- 2 premios de la MTV (puagggg).

Bueno, como ya tenéis material para darme caña, vayamos al terreno estrictamente musical.

Antes que nada, y para que quede claro, los Metallica me gustan MUCHO, pero no creo que pasen a la posteridad como otros dioses del heavy.

Dos grandes aciertos de los fundadores de la banda: Por un lado, fichar al guitarrista de Exodus, el tremendo Kirk Hammett. También solventaron bien otro problemón: A raíz de la muerte del sensacional bajista Cliff Burton, probaron como sustituto a Jason Newsted, tremenda cagada, pero la han solventado de coña a principios de este siglo fichando al brutalmente duro bajista de Suicidal Tendencies (peazo grupo), Robert trujillo.

Buff, ahora vamos con las canciones... A Angel le mola mucho Enter Sandman; vale, acepto pulpo como animal de compañía. A mí, como album, me mola mucho Master of Puppets (además es el último que grabaron con Cliff Burton al bajo). Como canciones: One, un tema bastante oscuro pero que algún día será un clásico (no os perdais el vídeo-clip). Y sobre todo, sobre todo... los temas que componen un disco de covers que hicieron en 1998 para homenajear a las bandas que más les influyeron. El album se llama Garage Inc. y es brutal, tiene versiones de Bob Seger, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Discharge, Diamond head, TheMisfits y otros; pero mención aparte merecen las versiones que hacen del Sabra Cadabra de BlackSabbath y de Whiskey in the Jar, de Thin Lizzy (adaptación a su vez de una canción popular irlandesa. Para que nos entendamos, es como hacer una versión heavy del Miudiño). Lo siento, Andrea, te lo he dicho mil veces: Whiskey in the jar NO es de Metallica.

  1. MASTER OF PUPPETS

    END OF PASSION PLAY, CRUMBLING AWAY
    I´M YOUR SOURCE OF SELF-DESTRUCTION
    VEINS THAT PUMP WITH FEAR
    SUCKING DARKEST CLEAR
    LEADING ON YOUR DEATHS CONSTRUCTION

    PRE-CHORUS:
    TASTE ME YOU WILL SEE
    MORE IS ALL YOU NEED
    YOU´RE DEDICATED TO
    HOW I´M KILLING YOU

    CHORUS:
    COME CRAWLING FASTER
    OBEY YOUR MASTER
    YOUR LIFE BURNS FASTER
    OBEY YOUR MASTER
    MASTER

    MASTER OF PUPPETS I´M PULLING YOUR STRINGS
    TWISTING YOUR MIND AND SMASHING YOUR DREAMS
    BLINDED BY ME, YOU CAN´T SEE A THING

    MASTER, MASTER
    JUST CALL MY NAME, ´CAUSE I´LL HEAR YOU SCREAM

    (CHORUS)

    MASTER, MASTER
    WHERE´S THE DREAMS THAT I´VE BEEN AFTER?

    LAUGHING AT MY CRIES

    HELL IS WORTH ALL THAT, NATURAL HABITAT
    JUST A RHYME WITHOUT A REASON
    NEVERENDING MAZE, DRIFT ON NUMBERED DAYS
    NOW YOUR LIFE IS OUT OF SEASON
    I WILL OCCUPY
    I WILL HELP YOU DIE
    I WILL RUN THROUGH YOU
    NOW I RULE YOU TOO

  2. ENTER SANDMAN

    Say your prayers little one
    don't forget, my son
    to include everyone

    tuck you in, warm within
    keep you free from sin
    till the sandman he comes

    sleep with one eye open
    gripping your pillow tight

    exit light
    enter night
    take my hand
    off to never never land

    something's wrong, shut the light
    heavy thoughts tonight
    and they aren't of snow white

    dreams of war, dreams of liars
    dreams of dragon's fire

    and of things that will bite

    sleep with one eye open
    gripping your pillow tight

    exit light
    enter night
    take my hand
    off to never never land

    now I lay me down to sleep
    pray the lord my soul to keep
    if I die before I wake
    pray the lord my soul to take

    hush little baby, don't say a word
    and never mind that noise you heard
    it's just the beast under your bed,
    in your closet, in your head

    exit light
    enter night
    grain of sand

    exit light
    enter night
    take my hand
    we're off to never never land

  3. SABBRA CADABRA (GARAGE INC. (DISCO 1))

    Feel so good I feel so fine
    Love that little lady always on my mind
    She gives me lovin' every night and day
    Never gonna leave her
    Never going away

    Someone to love me
    You know she makes me feel alright
    Someone to need me
    Love me every single night

    Feel so happy since I met that girl
    When we're making love, It's something out of this world
    Feels so good to know that she's all mine
    Going to love that woman 'till the end of time

    Someone to live for
    Love me 'till the end of time
    She makes me feel happy
    It's good to know that she's all mine


    I am the world that hides
    The universe of secret obtains
    Destruction of the empty spaces
    Here's my one and only prayer
    I lived a thousand times
    I found out what it means to be believed
    The thoughts and images
    The unborn child that never was conceived
    You gotta believe me!
    Hey! I'm talkin' to you!
    Well, I know it’s hard for you
    To know the reason why
    And I know you'll understand
    When it's time to die
    I don't believe the knife you have
    Will be the only one
    You have to let your body sleep
    To let your soul live on, Ha Ha!!

    Feel so happy since I met that girl
    When we're making love, it's something out of this world
    Feel so good to know that she's all mine
    Gonna love that woman till the end of time

    Someone to live for, love me till the end of time!
    She makes me feel happy, it's good to know she's all mine,
    She's all mine, yeah!

  4. nadie hace comentarios de Metallica?es que a defraudado tanto su último disco que ya no se habla de ellos? Puede ser . . .

  5. Auriaoscura, en mi opinión Metallica es uno de los grupos preferidos de la peña que va al "Sitio", lo que ocurre es que andan un poco dispersos con comentarios de cotilleos y para éso cualquier reseña les vale.

  6. metallica estan sobrevalorados, lo unico bueno que hacen son las versiones de otros grupos pero sus canciones propias no son gran cosa

  7. WELCOME HOME (SANITARIUM)

    Welcome to where time stands still no one leaves and no one will
    Moon is full, never seems to change just labeled mentally deranged
    Dream the same thing every night
    I see our freedom in my sight
    No locked doors,
    No windows barred
    No things to make my brain seem scarred
    Sleep my friend and you will see that dream is my reality
    They keep me locked up in this cage can't they see it's why my brain says
    Rage
    Sanitarium, leave me be
    Sanitarium, just leave me alone

    Build my fear of what's out there and cannot breathe the open air
    Whisper things into my brain assuring me that I'm insane
    They think our heads are in their
    hands but violent use brings violent plans
    Keep him tied,
    it makes him well he's getting better, can't you tell?
    No more can they keep us in Listen, damn it, we will win
    They see it right,
    they see it well but they think this saves us from our Hell
    Sanitarium, leave me be
    Sanitarium, just leave me alone
    Sanitarium, just leave me alone

    Fear of living on natives getting restless now
    Mutiny in the air got some death to do
    Mirror stares back hard
    Kill, it's such a friendly word seems the only way for reaching out again.

  8. ONE

    I can't remember anything
    Can't tell if this is true or dream
    Deep down inside i feel to scream
    This terrible silence stops me

    Now that the war is through with me
    I'm waking up i can not see
    That there is not much left of me
    Nothing is real but pain now

    Hold my breath as i wish for death
    Oh please god,wake me

    Back in the womb its much too real
    In pumps life that i must feel
    But can't look forward to reveal
    Look to the time when i'll live

    Fed through the tube that sticks in me
    Just like a wartime novelty
    Tied to machines that make me be
    Cut this life off from me

    Hold my breath as i wish for death
    Oh please god,wake me

    Now the world is gone i'm just one
    Oh god,help me hold my breath as i wish for death
    Oh please god help me

    Darkness imprisoning me
    All that i see
    Absolute horror
    I cannot live
    I cannot die
    Trapped in myself
    Body my holding cell

    Landmine has taken my sight
    Taken my speech
    Taken my hearing
    Taken my arms
    Taken my legs
    Taken my soul
    Left me with life in hell.
