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.

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.

I bought this CD for the live tracks. I'll admit that in the beginning I didn't think much of this song, but it has grown on me. I think that if any other band than a metal band had released it, it would have gone somewhere. Unfortunately the niche audience doesn't appreciate it. However if you want something loud, heavy, and awesome to listen to, the live tracks should more than satisfy. So What and Creeping Death are completely AWESOME. They rock so much that it makes the CD worthwhile. The other 2 live tracks are also good, but not really on par with the first 2. buy it today and scream your favorite obscenities with So What!

Though some people may be disappointed, the same people who are still complaining since 1991's 'Metallica' came out, this single is great. Mama said is unlike anything Metallica has done in the past, it sounds really fresh and like the rest of 'Load', it is outstanding. Another big plus to this cd is the other two songs on it. Creeping Death is one of Metallica's best songs, but the live version really stands out from the studio version; you can really feel the energy and appreciate Metallica's capabilities onstage. The third song on the cd is the cover So What; this song sounds great as well, and it is nice to hear Metallica play live a song which hasn't gotten it's just do! All in all, a great cd to add to your Metallica collection.

Some people just don't appreciate GGOD MUSIC with GOOD MORALS; hats off to Metallica- the band who has taken unnecesary criticism for loads, napster, and st. anger. The lives tracks are awesome.
SUPERB.

This song iz particullarly one o' tha better songs on the "Load"
CD. Don't be misinformed. This iz softer than MetallicA's past works o' art. It has some country features written in w/ MetallicA's extremely unique style. Any true Metallifuk would be honored to purchase this rare single.
