"This CD has 4 tracks 1. Mama Said(5:20) 2. King Nothing-Live(7:51) 3. Whiplash-Live(4:51) 4. Mama Said-Edit(4:42) In the beginning of King Nothing you get to hear James talk to the crowd, then play a little bit of "It Ain't Like That" by Alice in Chains..but this live version of King Nothing got me back into listening Load & appreciating it more. The live version of Whiplash gives you a good dose of speed metal at its very best, James really gets the crowd into this song and it is played without flaw. The song ends with the intro to "My Friend of Misery", a nice touch. The Mama Said Edit skips the beginning guitar work, but still a good song. It has a country/blues feel to it. I know it's not what you're use to hearing from MetallicA, but at least it's not Rap/Rock. Highly recommended."

Something for everyone

"Well worth the price for the true MetallicA fan. I hated Mama Said the first few times I heard it but it has become one of my favorites. The unproduced demo version (track 6) has some very mellow licks and noodles from Jamz. The version of So What not only rocks but is also hysterical. And for us old-time 1980s Metallica fans, there is a killer live version of Whiplash and Creeping Death. If you like the rare imports, snag this one."
