Metallica - The Unnamed Feeling




The Unnamed Feeling
is the third single by heavy metal band Metallica off their 2003 album St. Anger. The song is about an unnamed feeling a person feels when they're close to the edge of losing control, just before he or she panics.

Along with a music video, the song was released as a single exclusively to Australia. It was released as part of an E.P. in The UK. The unique video, directed by The Malloys, featured the band performing in a virtually empty room that gradually closed in on them throughout the song. This was accompanied by visual stories of several people all experiencing that "unnamed feeling" in their own way.

Cover art for the CD single was chosen through a contest where fans could submit their own original artwork. The winning piece was an isolated illustration of a black heart roughly outlined in white with a black background (although the front cover is the "Monster" from their other St. Anger single, Some Kind of Monster).

This between albums special Enhanced EP the "explicit" version of "Unnamed Feeling" plus a video as well as six live performances recorded in Paris in 2003.

This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.

CANNOT THE KINGDOM OF SALVATION TAKE ME HOME

Clifford Lee Burton , 1962 - 1986

During the European leg of the Damage Inc. tour in support of Master of Puppets, the band had complained that the sleeping cubicles on their tour bus were unsatisfactory and uncomfortable. As a minor solution the members would draw cards for the most comfortable bunk. On the evening of September 27, 1986, Burton had won the game with an ace of spades. He was asleep when, according to the driver, the band's tour bus ran over a patch of, skidded off of the road, and flipped onto the grass in Ljungby Municipality near Dörarp rural Sweden. Burton fell through the window of the bus and the bus fell on top of him. It is debatable whether Burton was dead at this point or not, although he would certainly have been critically injured. A winch that was lifting the bus off him snapped, causing the bus to crush him a second time. James Hetfield later stated that he first believed the bus flipped because the driver was drunk, or at least negligent, and had walked long distances down the road demanding this "black ice" be shown to him.

Burton's body was cremated, and his ashes were scattered on the Maxwell Ranch. At the ceremony, the instrumental "Orion" from the album Master of Puppets was played. Burton had never played the song live, and Metallica did not perform it until June 6, 2006 (when they performed the album in its entirety to mark the 20th anniversary of its release). Until then, only sections of the song had been used as part of their performance. During the 1990s, Burton's successor, Jason Newstead would often use the bass line as part of a medley.

ESP Double-Neck Explorer 'Ducks'

This electric-guitar is a black double-necked ESP Explorer with a mahogany body and a rosewood fretboard. This guitar has 12 strings on the top neck and 6 strings on the bottom neck. The inlays are ducks.

  • Model: ESP EXP (double-neck)
  • Color: Black
  • Inlays: Duck
  • Pickups: EMG-60, EMG-81 hum
  • (each neck)
  • Hardware: 2 volume controls
  • (each neck)
  • Can Be Seen: "Binge & Purge" booklet

    Only used live: "Black Album" gigs

  • Last used live: Same tour 8th August '92 in Montreal

    This guitar was exclusively played for the live performance of "Fade To Black".

    The supposed end of its days:
    James get burned with that guitar during a gig in Montreal on the 8th August '92 when the pyros to the song "Fade To Black" set in. It happened because the pyro-tech didn't inform the band that new pyro would be going along with the old pyro which only ignited along the wings of the stage. James assumed that the new pyro canceled out the previous pyro, so he stood on a point where a 12 foot flame from the old pyro ignited.

    He also used exact the same double-necked ESP EXP model later on Woodstock'94. So this guitar either has been restored or rebuild for this show.

    James' ESP Explorers in general:
    They are all based upon the standard ESP EXP
    serie and were built or overseen by Matt Masciandaro. Meanwhile the EXP serie has been replaced by the ESP EX standard serie which has a sharp shape for its ends and headstock instead of the old EXP serie which was comparable to the rounded shape of the Gibson Explorers.

    The difference between the EXP model and James' Explorers:
    In difference between James' Explorers and the standard ESP EXP
    serie, James guitars have set-necks (glued joint) instead of bolt-on necks. Besides the "Black Album" guitars' fingerboards consist of ebony instead of rosewood.

    Identical to the EXP model:
    The body consists of mahogany, the neck of maple and the fingerboard (with its 22
    XJ [XJ=extra jumbo] frets) of rosewood. All hardware (the tune-o-matic bridge, the stop piece and tuners) is black. It has one volume control for each pickup.
