So this is a perfect album form me. I like both Celtic Music and Metallica. We do not headbang with this sound, but those who have open hears will surely have some fun with this.
I couldn't stop tapping my feet and playing air instruments throughout the whole cd. It tickles my Irish roots.
I have many of the unique covers of Metallica including cellos, violins, blue-grass, etc. Great disk. I know I'm biased since I love both Metallica and Celtic music so this was a natural for me. and this CD does a great job of being totally Celtic and yet the Metallic is ever present.
If you like what you hear, then buy it. Take the time to preview this CD. I'm glad I did.
Well, The Unforgiven, Nothing Else Matters, Hero of the Day, Mama Said, and Until It Sleeps lend themselves to various mellow instrumentations, in my opinion. Anger was a musical turd. Says right on the back of the album), I'd love to see some of these harder songs given an attempt.I never expected to see this album. I think these guys really did achieve the unexpected, and it was very enjoyable to listen to.
musicians are used to picking up any number of instruments even within a single song, and these guys to a great job. I think you'll enjoy it. They used the tunes, and some of the arrangements, but they really did make it their own with the reel sections. You might enjoy it.
I heard the classical influences (I'm also a classically trained clarinetist) in their music, and I thoroughly though it would meld well with a symphony. Seek and Destroy was interesting, but not my favorite. Not so big on Load and Reload, and I thought St. Had the potential to be cool. It was less of a challenge to them to pick these particular songs. If there's a second tribute from the Boys of Country Nashville (the True Artists of this album.c'mon Amazon.
Fade To Black was quite a bit of fun. One and Enter Sandman were Celtic-ized quite superbly. My favorite Metallica album is.And Justice for All. If you're looking for hardcore Metallica thrash, you won't find it anywhere here.keep looking. and Metallica, take the plunge. If you like celtic trad.
I like both traditional AND fusion arrangements, but tend toward the trad. fan might be quite comfortable step-dancing to. This album does not shred. I never.ever saw this coming.If you're simply a Metallica fan, and are interested in just another tribute album, this one might not be for you. The choice between using a mandolin or a guitar really makes these renditions quite good.I'm listening to Enter Sandman off this album, and this is one of the songs I feel they did the best job with, since the reel section of this tune uses the familiar guitar riff from this album throughout.It's not all Metallica, to be honest.
The songs are clearly Metallica songs for the most part, until the jig or reel section of nearly every song. To my mind, this is a great album for traditional Celtic Music fans who also happen to be Metallica fans. Battery, Dyer's Eve. You can't headbang to it.
Celtic trad. Seven Nations, Great Big Sea, Gaelic Storm, and Amadan are some of my favorites. And what's more, these guys picked some great instrumentation. Had the potential to really stink. If you are a Metallica fan and don't have an aversion to Celtic music, why not.
When I saw it, I wasn't sure what to think. I would have liked to have seen some of the thrashers in here. side of things.The Celtic Tribute to Metallica: You know, I suggested something like Metallica's live album, S&M, a long time before they ever did it. In addition, as modern Celtic music, it stands on its own quite well.So why the 4 stars.
These guys add jigs and reels into the songs that do not fit in the original songs at all, but which a trad. I am a Metallica fan. Celtic Music fans who are also fans of Metallica will likely appreciate the thought and work that went into this album. I am also a big time Celtic Music fan. (Well, I suppose you COULD, but would you WANT to).
Metallica fans with no interest in traditional Celtic music ought not bother with this. Those would have been a true challenge, but given that they weren't as successful with Seek and Destroy as I would have liked, it's likely they steered clear because they knew they could do a better job with what they chose. (Not a drum set in earshot on this album). My Tastes: Reading a review of an album like this, you ought to know something about the reviewer. Lars' drums are a large part of Metallica's sound, and these guys don't bother trying to recreate them, which is a good thing in my mind.
(The reel section had some excellent fiddling).
