Guitar Hero’s Metallica Death Magnetic is FUN and even better than CD
Tonight I have been playing Guitar Hero for a little while…. I got the whole cd of Metallica – “Death Magnetics”….. and if was real fun to play….
In all honesty; I am NOT a brilliant GH player – so I even had a couple of songs which where a bit hard for me to play…..
Also a bit weird; to play something you totally didn’t hear before….
I didn’t play all the songs yet – I do like some of the music of Metallica – but a whole album…. uh… bit too much for me…. 
I was searching for some reviews on this game…. but than I read another kind of article…..;
Analysis: Metallica’s Death Magnetic Sounds Better in Guitar Hero
It seems that they used “another end mix” for the cd…… which resulted in more volume in the songs…. BUT…. in a BAD way….
On a Metallica forum have been posts about this – and according to mastering engineer Ian Sheperd this has been a result of the mixing
“the CD version on the bottom has been heavily compressed, limited and/or clipped, and sounds massively distorted as a result.”
End result; cd is 10DB louder than the GH version…. which means = the cd is TOO loud).
And people are even making a petition to make the band re-mix the album – so they could get the same quality as the GH versions….
Well; one point from me, as a gamer, why didnt Metallica also put the option to “buy” the album with the game…??
Now I am only able to listen to the songs during playing…. – but sorry…. this is not totally my music = and paying the whole amount for the album…?? NAH…..
Hi, I found your blog on this new directory of WordPress Blogs at blackhatbootcamp.com/listofwordpressblogs. I dont know how your blog came up, must have been a typo, i duno. Anyways, I just clicked it and here I am. Your blog looks good. Have a nice day. James.
Metallica would never do this, but a neat idea would be to let them download the fixed songs online for free. And to prevent people from stealing it, have a question like “what is the 3rd word in the second page of the cd booklet” question.
Wont ever happen, but giving what the audience wants is a good idea.
Doesn’t this confirm what we already knew about Metallica, that their music is just a vehicle to make money in the first place before anything else? One of the most important things a band produces is an album, and they let it happen their music is turned into an inferior product… It’s not about the music, really, it’s just about how much money it will make. Sad but true.
