That was actually a more interesting read than I thought it'd be
Thanks!

[harvesterofsorrow_89]

Shouldn't Outlaw Torn be at 10:52 instead of 9:52? The 9:52 version was the edited one that they had to cut down to fit onto Load. The actual song itself was 10:52.

[Ktuulu59 in Disguise]

Yeah, it was released on the Memory Remains single. It's fine as it is on Load, though.

You really weren't lying when you said you were bored XD

You're right, but it doesn't make much of a difference. 10:52 or 9:52, it's still the longest.

I would love to see Metallica write a song (a good one) longer than 12 minutes in length.

That would be pretty cool. I would probably listen to it all the time. Except for the St. Anger tracks, I love Metallica's longer songs. With the next album, I could see Fixxxer and Bleeding Me being pushed off the list. It would be awesome to see another great nine minute track.

My version of load doesn't even have the Outlaw Torn. I never knew it existed until S&M

Bootleg?

[Arien_Veros]

Wow, how long did that take you?

[Devil's Dance]

Not too long actually. I have all the albums right next to me so I just looked at them for reference. I had also posted a list of all the songs that they currently have that are over seven minutes long (About 19) in another thread, so I used that for help as well.

i don't see anything that would mean anything from this thread.

But you forgot Napster Begon 55:00

I came up with a rough mix of For Whom The Bell Tolls, Seek & Destroy and Master Of Puppets (I call it "4 Whom Destroys The Master") that tops out at about 11 minutes and 29 seconds. I'd post it for people to check out but (A) I'm not technically savvy enough to know how to do that and (b) I don't want Lars or anyone from the band thinking I'm trying to profit from it and give me a beat down (lol).

I know it doesn't officially count for the list but it was the only topic that was close, so...

Anyway, if anyone knows how to (legally) upload my mix here or wants me to send it direct to listen to, then shoot me an e-mail at: twinarc@hotmail.com

I had very simple software to combine the songs so certain transitions sound smoother than others but I think it's pretty cool for what I had to work with. I'd love to see Metallica do that medley live...that would rock!

[dirtcharmingg]

METAL MILITIA is actually not 6:06, it was a misprint on the CD, it's actually like a minute shorter!!

[jsosa791]

just upload it to any upload websitel; i.e yousendit megaupload etc etc

[Purify II]

WOW!! I would have never thought that Metal Militia would be at rank 8 in the classification for the Top Ten Longest Metallica Songs made until the year 1984!!!!

WOW!!! HOLY SHIT!!!!

This is what a real fan has to be!!!

Respect of your work, dude!

I know, I didn't realise until it was too late. There are quite a few errors with Kill 'Em All.
