The God That Failed and My Friend of Misery are the only two I listen to anymore.

I still think the Unforgiven is the best song on the album by far

I find pretty much every track enjoyable...if cliff would have stayed im pretty sure things would have played out the same. They just needed a change, i mean, if they have ideas for songs that they think sound good you cant expect them to throw them out because they dont sound like their old material. If they would have made another AJFA people would have criticized them for not evolving, its a lose/lose situation in some cases.

Pretty much the same for me. Both songs are great. The bass intro to My Friend Of Misery is great. Newstead wrote a longer version but it got cut short.



I actually like both the Loads, so I'm not entirely bothered with the direciton they took, it's just interesting to think what could've been.This Message Edited On 02.11.09This Message Edited On 02.11.09

I think My Friend Of misery was originally going to be an instrumental but they changed it. I think it would have been interesting to hear it as an instrumental...would have fit classic Metallica album format to.

Newstead wrote every song on the first Flotsam album and quite a few of the ones on their second album (even though he wasn't on it). To go from that to Metallica where he wasn't allowed any input must have sucked. And then they finally accept one of his ideas but they cut it short....

Ya thats true, he could write some really cool melodic baselines. Like that one he plays on cunning stunts before nothing else matters. I think MFOM could have been better as an instrumental, just would have flowed better.

Jason was solid but was always held down and cast in the shadow of Burton.



Completely off topic; Damrod's avatar is awesome, I noticed it when it took back to the first page after editing. Does anyone know where it's from?

Yeah Cliff was an awesome bassist. If he was alive for AJFA it would have been one of, if not the greatest albums ever created.
