Metallica....Jungle Essence

Rockee

Hey lads and lassies!

I was checking out the setlist that Metallica played at the RDS in 2004 and noticed that song 8 is called Jungle Essence...where did it come from? Was it a tune they jammed while on stage during that tour or what?

Thanks!!!!

Don' know about ye lads but I find bass solos drum solos and guitar solos soo boring. Metallica have been doing that for years and it is really annoying. I would rather a concert half an hour shorter than have to listen to Hammett twiddling and screeching for 10 minutes.

I totally agree, Ive always found that an appauling state of affairs, when someone has to listen to a drum solo or a guitar solo for ages and ages and you just want to hear the next song. I mean, Queen's Brian May has admitted to being booed on occassion when he used to play Brighton Rock, as people just wanted to hear the next song and didnt want to stop or cool down. It gives the singer and drummer a break, which they obviously need during a high intensity performance, but perhaps something (like Ron Thal of GNR playing Dont Cry as part of his solo) would keep the crowd interested and in the mood.

Must have been more off my head than I thought, I don't remember them playing it at all. Then again I did lose all my clothes at that concert.
