Why is the metallica orchestra thing so bad? Didn't seem that terrible.
People think its bad because they see a heavy band like Metallica join an orchestra and they think they went soft and lost their edge. I fuckin loved S&M. But then again, I've played many insrtuments(trombone/snare drum/percussionist/guitar/bass...), studied some music theory and have an appreciation for classical music/intrumentation. I think they integrated hard rock with an orchestra on S&M better than anyone has to date. I love the composition by Kamen. The orchestral parts are so dark and add so much to the tracks.
BTW.... on a sad note, just found out Michael Kamen passed away on Nov 18, 2003 @ 55 after a battle with MS. Rest in Peace Mr. Kamen
