this cd is great.......2007-06-27

This cd is one of the best metallica live cds. I never knew that their was a bass player before cliff. the mechanix song sounds pretty cool.

Live?.......2006-09-23

First of all, let me say that I love Metallica. Let me get that straight before I condemn this terrible dubbed "live" set. What we have here is actually the famed 'No Life 'Till Leather' demo, made to sound live using stock crowd noise, and some of Hetfield's concert remarks from the 'Cliff 'Em All' collection. The songs are so poorly dubbed that this is not even an acceptable way to attain the Leather demos.

However, I did give the disc 3 stars. This is because I feel like any legal and authentic bootleg cd by the Horsemen of the Apokalypse is worth the money. And I feel like this odd cd will eventually be re-salable for more than its original asking price.

Die-hard fans should get this one, but others will probably feel ripped-off.

No Life til Bootleged.......2006-04-20

Yes this is just a bootleg copy of Metallica's No Life Til Leather Demo with a lame attempt to sound live. Fact is they never recorded any of shows in the era this claims to be. As far as who ripped who off? You're all a bunch of idiots. Nobody ripped anybody off. The Mechanix is the early version of the Four Horseman. This version was written by Dave Mustaine who at the time was Metallica's lead guitarist. In a vain attempt to sound original and not use Dave's material, they changed the lyrics and added a few changes, after they axed him. He formed Megadeth to spite Metallica. Ring the bell kiddies, class dismissed.

hmm.......2005-10-11

yea...this is junk, not worth buying, an hey retard metallica didnt copy "the mechanix" , and anyways who cares, megadeth has some good songs, but trust me, they are NOT better than metallica.

The truth is that this is the "No Life Till Leather" demo with fake crowd noises put over the music. That's the truth. Another truth is that this is METALLICA!! even though this is not the "real" demo that many people want, but can not buy anymore, it's the closest you'll get with out doing the bootleg thing. And my openion is this is an awesome CD. If you want it, buy it. It's that simple.

Megadeth better than Metallica.......2005-04-03

Alright, I don't own this cd, nor do I even want to. The sound quality on this is probably as poor as it could get. The reason I write this at all is to prove to all those "die hard" Metallica fans that Megadeth's song "The Mechanix" came FIRST before Metallica's "Four Horsemen". Looks as though it was actually Metallica that ripped off the riff for the song, seeing as clearly how "The Mechanix" was written first.

FORGERY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2003-11-29

Most people were tricked thinking this was metallica's first show-NO WAY! METALLICA SUED THE STUDIO THAT PUT THIS OUT! It's a fake! Actually it's the No life 'til leather demo tape with crowd noise from cliff 'em all thrown in!! That's why it;s out of print!! COme on people, every metallica should know this a fake!
