Video Leak of New Metallica Song ‘Cyanide’
Sunday, August 10, 2008
Video footage of a brand new METALLICA song, ‘Cyanide’, from their performance last night (August 9) at Ozzfest 2008 in Dallas, Texas has been leaked online. Thoughts?
The song comes off the band’s forthcoming album Death Magnetic -- the ninth studio release which is scheduled for shelf life on September 12, 2008 through Warner Bros. Records. The album will be the band’s first to feature current bassist Robert Trujillo, and the first to be produced by Rick Rubin. The first single will be the cut “The Day That Never Comes”.

Lars is going to sue whoever posted the video
That never gets old does it
Pretty Good and finally a decent YouTube concert footage clip. Any more?
It sure could be worse
I may catch shit for this but i’m the type that if i’m a fan i’m a fan for life and i’ll listen to the new record a hundred or so times like i do their others. It’s all good.
i really didnt want them to live up to the hype of being one of the best live bands ever. I was there and they were fucking amazing. the new song is good but i would like a longer solo other then that the album shows some promise.
Sounds like one of their 90s b-sides.
Metallica: 20 years too late for me to give a shit.
the drumming sucks, the song is too long, and the solo doesn’t fit
METALLICA IS BACK BITCHES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I cant quite tell how much this song sucks due to the quality. But hey maybe they’re going back to their roots and making another Master of Puppets right?!?!
a shame
ah well
zzzzzzzz
ehhhh
I’ve heard better riffs from a narcoleptic amputee
Thoroughly unimpressed…
Great song
Well that’s a step up from the last record now isn’t it?
the vid quality sucks but the song isn’t so bad…I guess….
It’s funny watching this now cause back in the day I thought Lars was the greatest drummer ever. but this vid proves that he is one of the most average drummer s around today.
hmm, well i am alot more impressed by this than anything metallica has put out since “and justice for all”. for the first time since i was in 7th grade i’m interested in the new metallica album.
nice review here:
review from luolsdong.blogspot.com
These days, Metallica are probably best known for playing in giant NASCAR stadiums, suing their own fans, and releasing an album of complete dogshit every 5 years or so. But as unbelievable as it may seem now, Metallica used to be one of the most fearsome bands in the land. Their ’80s albums are indisputable thrash classics, and their live shows were the stuff of legend (don’t even get me started about the time I saw them with Danzig and Suicidal Tendencies in ‘94).
Even though Metallica has sucked for nearly 20 years, there is a lot of interest in their upcoming album Death Magnetic, which is supposed to be a “return to form” for the band (just like the last 3 albums were.) So when they debuted a new track, “Cyanide,” at last week’s Ozzfest, many were curious, including a bunch of us here at the Dong. Does it recapture their former glory? Or does it just suck ass? Luol’s Dong Arts & Entertainment presents an in-depth, blow-by-blow review.
0:57= The intro shows some promise. I’m not reaching for the lotion just yet, but at least this sounds somewhat heavy, and that’s a good thing.
1:15= Bass and drum break. Since there are no guitars or vocals, I can only assume that this is the part of the song where James Hetfield pounds about 20 shots of Jagermeister. Yes, I know this part is only about 5 seconds long.
1:20= If this is the song’s main riff, I’m not impressed. This riff might be OK if you’re some bar band, maybe. A 14 year old could have written this. Suddenly I am losing my erection. Here comes another riff — oh wait, this one is generic as hell too.
1:42= Hetfield, now completely wasted on Jager, begins hollering about death and a bunch of crap that don’t make no goddamn sense. I’m sure there’s a melody somewhere in here, but it mostly sounds like some goofy drunk shouting at you. And if you wanted that, you’d go visit your stepdad, right? Right.
1:43 to 5:27 = I got bored and made a sandwich.
5:28 to 6:00 = Clearly suffering from Alzheimers, guitarist Kirk Hammett plays the solo from “Ride The Lightning” by accident. Drummer/cokehead Lars Ulrich tries to get his attention by playing out of time and making silly mistakes.
6:01= NOW we’re getting somewhere! The guys wake up long enough to deliver some kickass harmony guitars. This is pretty awes— oh wait, it’s over now. Then they play all the other parts of the song over again, in case you showed up late to the concert or something.
So there you have it. “Return to form” indeed — if by “form” you mean a poorly written, boring-ass song where you have to wait 6 minutes for the only cool part. This track is kind of like those weird crunch things from Taco Bell: you have no idea how it got put together, and you don’t really care because it leaves the taste of crap in your mouth. If this song is any indication, Death Magnetic will chug more penis than that hooker who hangs out in my alley. Time to hang it up, dudes.
I just realized what a fag I am. I love the Back Street Boys so much!!! They are way better than Metalica (Is that how you spell it?)
That’s enough from me know. I think I might
go and suck my boyfriends cock.
THE SONG IS GREAT!!!! Best thing I’ve heard them do in a LONG LONG time. Don’t listen to the above spotty nerds.
GREAT SONG – CAN’T WAIT FOR SEPTEMBER 12.
METAL UP YOUR ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sounds good, can’t wait for the album. Even if it sucks, I’ll still listen to it.
I’m sorry…my girlfriend and I listened to the stream of the album version and were literally ROLLING around in bed laughing at all the cheesey rhyming Het now resorts to! The man’s like what…45? Singin’ SUICIDE! I’VE ALREADY DIED! CY-A-NIDE! FEELIN’ DEAD INSIDE!
Laughing My Fucking Ass Off.
