Live Shit: Binge & Purge [Box set] [Live]

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
This enormous live box set is a necessity for the hardcore Metallifan, though casual fans (if Metallica has any casual fans) might be scared off. It contains material up to and including the self-titled "black" album, including concert favorites "Creeping Death" and "Seek & Destroy," as well as classics like "For Whom the Bell Tolls," "Welcome Home (Sanitarium)," and "Fade to Black." There are also a couple of ripping-fast solos from Jason Newsted and Kirk Hammett, and covers of "Last Caress," "Am I Evil?" and "Stone Cold Crazy." The videos are from a 1992 San Diego concert and a 1989 stop on the Damaged Justice tour in Seattle; both are guaranteed to turn any fan who hasn't had the considerable pleasure of hearing this seminal metal band live green with envy. Pricey, but very highly recommended. --Genevieve Williams

Album Description

Convenient new size...Still f***ing huge! Metallica's Live Sh*t: Binge & Purge - the unprecendented box set featuring three complete concerts on three CD's and three VHS tapes, more than eight hours of live Metallica - is now being made available on three CD's and two DVD's at a special price. This colossal box has sold an incredible 613,000 copies since its 1993 release, and this reissue is sure to swell the ranks of those blown away by these shows. Nothing gets left behind -- the complete original 72-page full-color book is even included on DVD 2, and the commemorative backstage pass and scary guy stencil are enclosed as well. It's a one-two-three punch unmatched by any band, before or since, and the perfect gift for that special someone who needs their ass kicked hard by the world's greatest rock & roll band.

Hmmm.......2007-04-10

I rarely listen to Metallica, but I do like everything they did up until the Black Album. I know call me a hyprocrite right now and throw the review out the window. This boxset is done well, and I had no problem with the sound on the dvd. The problem I had is the way the cds and dvds are presented. The case is terriable, and the cds just fall out and might get scratched. The booklet is a a complete waste; To review the orignal booklet, you can on the second dvd. Its great material, but the price is a little steep. I did buy it used, but the price I paid for it was probably what the asking price should be.

One of my favorites!!.......2007-03-31

I live with regrets now after hearing this music. I was never a really big fan of theirs and owned none of their music. I am, however, a big 'live' music fan of all types. If it's good live, I like the band!

I thought this set was FANTASTIC! My regrets are that I never went to see them live when I had the chances. Big mistake.

This is truly a great musical set. For those true Metallica fans, good for you for being there before, during and after these concerts. You've seen one of the greatest Rock and Roll bands to walk the earth. Truly a great buy!!!!

I was there !!!!.......2007-02-01

What can you say when your favorite band issues a record of the concert they played at your city ?? there's no way to be objective and neutral, this is for me the best live record ever made, in the peak of Metallica's career, with an audience (Mexico City) that waited for 15 years to see Metallica live so you can feel the people extasis on each track.

Some of you may not be aware that Metallica was supposed to play only 2 dates in Mexico City but they sold out both concerts in 2 hours (50,000 tickets), so they cancelled Hawaii and stayed to play 3 more nights. I attended two of the nights and saw people outside the arena trading jewelry and watches for a ticket, absolutely crazy. Metallica changed the track list every night, and this record has the best pieces of each of the five concerts. A must to have for any Metalli-fan.

The only negative is that the boxset only contains audio from Mexico City, not a single video.

Man, I felt myself nostalgic.

Awesome!.......2007-01-22

I was looking for a collection of live, older Metallica songs, and you can't beat this collection. The performances on the CDs are great and they sound really good when you play them as you should....LOUD!

The performances on the DVD are also really good and I recommend that you use a good surround sound system to take advantage of the music and mayhem that Metallica unleashes on stage.

Don't think twice about it, just get it.

Descropción del producto........2007-01-11

La caja contiene 5 discos, 3 de ellos contienen el concierto de la ciudad de México. Los 2 restantes son DVD's, uno contiene el conciert de Seattle y el otro los 2 de San Diego. Es el material de los discos y VHS de la legendaria caja de Metallica. Muy buenos conciertos, muy buena calidad de grabación. Es el mejor recuerdo que uno puede conservar de esta banda de metal. Lo recomiendo ampliamente.

Purged this into Tampa Bay.......2007-05-14

Noting Metallica's recent radio and MTV-friendly format, I purchased a used copy of this box set in order to dramatically illustrate the nosedive that has become of Metallica's popularity among their original fans. Driving to the top of the Sunshine Skyway Bridge here in Tampa, I flung 'Live $hit, Binge & Purge' into the shipping channel...a 200 foot drop. Longtime fans can rest assured that one of traitor Metallica's new box sets is now 'sleeping with the fishes'.

purged.......2006-03-29

I bought this box set way back in the day when it was a new release. I must say I really enjoyed it. This was the last good thing this band ever put out. I've since sold this boxset along with everything else Metallica related that I owned. Once they started suing their fans and putting out below par horses*** I quickly became a nonfan. Lars is a dousche as is Hetfield.

There's only one Metallica, and this is their best........2005-11-23

Sometimes only Metallica will do, and this is their best. Every great song, played to the hilt live in Mexico City on the CD's and a two DVD set recorded here in the States. When you need something and only Metallica will do, and when you need it as hard as it comes, this is the album for you. I love this box set. I'm on my second one. I let the first one get scratched up in the car, and I discovered I couldn't live without it. If you love Metallica, you'll feel the same way. Enjoy.

sweet.......2005-07-18

this is so awesome. great concerts. great everything. but you people are stupid to pay 89 bucks for it. i got the whole set for $2 at a garage sale. and everythings perfect.

Metallica gift set.......2005-07-02

This set was shipped to me within a few days. It was still in the original packaging in excellent condition. This was a gift for my son-in-law and he was thrilled with its condition.

The box set is amazing because it shows Metallica in the best part of its career. All the old best songs are compended in the 2 Live CD's and the two DVD concerts are espectacular although the video quiality is not the best maybe because it has been taken from the VHS format.

Amzing.......2005-11-21

This box set is incredible. So much metal crammed on to 3 CDs abd 2 DVDs. About 8 hours of head banging, kick a$$ metal. It is amazing how you can actually feel the adreniline and excitment like you were actually there. It also makes we want to start my own mosh pit. This album is so awesome that I could go on forver but before I start rambling I will go through the songs.

Disc1
1 Enter Sandman-great opener, this song kicks more a$$ live then studio(in my opion)10/10
2 Creeping Sandman-Great Song from Ride the Lighting the version is definitly not as good as the studio but nonetheless a heavy rocker 9/10
3 Harvester of Sorrow- One of the best songs on this first disc it is probably the best from And Jutice for All they just rock hard here and so does Mexico City 10/10
4 Welcome Home(Sanitarium)- Great song with a grea intro, when Kirk comes in with the clean guitar I always get a chill down my spine 10/10
5 Sad but True- Better in the studio but the guitar solo is so much better live they ruined the chorus though but I still love this song 9/10
6 Of Wolf and Man- Worst song on any of the three albums the sound is so muffled in my opinion i think James ruined it still this song is awesome 8/10(keep in mind all the songs are awesome)
7 Unforgiven-This song is amazing live I love the acustic intro it is just so awesome also James's voice is really clean for most of it 10/10
8 Justice Meledy- The song is awesome but i wish they could have done more with Blackend and less with And Justice but i still love it 10/10
9 Guitar and Bass Solos- The solos are just to prove that they have a good sense of humor and know how to have fun the bass is just incredible so is Hammets guitar solos and to make it even better it's about 18 minutes long 10/10

Disc 2
1 Through the Never- I don't really listen to this one but when I do my neck gets really sore you know why any ways a great song with some awesome vocals 10/10
2 For Whom the Bell Tolls- one of the best rockers on this disc just an overall kick a$$ song 10/10
3 Fade to Black- This is one of my favorites from ride the lighting this song is also one of my favorites on this whole box set it just is epic live as well as the studio 10/10
4 Master of Puppets -
5 Seek and Destroy- This song from kill em all is awesome in the studio but live the boys come out and kick some serious a$$ this song is SO much better live than studio 10/10
6 Whiplash- See above 10/10

Disc3
1 Nothing Else Matters-
2 Wherever I May Roam -
3 Am I Evil?-
4 Last Caress-
5 One-
6 Battery -
7 Four Horsemen-
8 Motorbreath-
9 Stone Cold Crazy-

Live albums at their best.......2005-10-10

Ok, we have a few good live albums, being Ozzy Osbourne's Tribute, Iron Maiden's Run to the Hills, Sabbath's Past Lives and Led Zeppelin's How the West was Won, but this is probably beyond that, better than studi releases. It is loud, brutal , hair-raisng, exciting, you name it. Just put in the CD and put on some Sennheiser Headphones, and you are at the show. Note, this set does not make you wish you are at the show,. This sret makes you feel as though you were there....,especially the DVDs, although I don't fancy the. Not portable, you see....Get a DVD Audio Ripper (Legally)

My prized possesion.......2005-04-03

This box set is amazing. It contains material up to the Black Album, in 3 CDs and two DVDs. How do you do that? I love it. Metallica is so much better live. Also, the origional book is on DVD 2, and you can make a screen saver with it if you have a DVD-ROM server in your computer. I also really like the "Scary Guy" stencil that comes with the box set, it's pretty big too. This also comes with a amazing textured Metallica sticker which says:

I WAS ON STAGE WITH METALLICA

91-92

IN THE SNAKE PIT

AS A SPECIAL GUEST OF:
METALLICA

This is also green and white, with a big picture of the "Don't Tread On Me" snake from the Black Album.
