Liste der Bands Thrash Metal The Four Horsemen (FRA) Live Espace B

The name "The Four Horsemen" means something to you, doesn't it? But do you know our Four Horsemen? They are named Guillaume, François, Yves Marie and Ludovik and they are the french cover band of Metallica. Then do not ask the question " but why don't you write your own songs? ". They will answer you that with this group they want to honour the greatest Thrash band of all times, and that's it. They keep their own songs for other musical projects.
This band is proud to present us a DVD of their live at the "Espace B", a small but quite hot Parisian hall. The band presents nine tracks originally written and recorded by Metallica recorded there live in November 2006, with perfect footage and sound quality. But what is most important here is the performance itself which is really, really great. A mix of talent, passion and respect. These three aspects are essential to turn this kind of concept into a real party. The overall impression that we get is that we are watching a best-of covering more than 10 years of Metallica's greatest tracks. " Welcome to the snakepit!!!!!!!! " To be as clear as possible, we need to say that what we have here is Metallica, with a voice close to the tone James could use so well, before he quit drinking (And François doesn't hesitate to go there and we can feel how pleased he is to sing all these classics). It's Metallica with a lead guitarist who knows where he goes and whose foot is not permanently stucked on his "whawha" pedal.
As for the bass and the drumming, the band shows its maestria by sticking to the original interpretation, flawlessly playing what has been written by Metallica's rythmic duo (although Lars has often been a target for critics, but this is another point to discuss). As for the set list, it's just a plain loud, heavy thrash-metal gig we're watching.We find only good things here and we're really pleased to discover a great live version of " Orion "... A special mention goes to the intro used by these Four Horsemen which is a classy one, and after which everything just goes at 200 miles per hour, as every live should. We cannot say anything more about what happens on stage, you should just watch and find out by yourself. I can just conclude saying that this is an intense and very hot live performance, with a great attitude of the audience.

If you love Metallica, you should get this video which will not be very expensive. The band made sure to design a good packaging, which should be another argument to praise. If you ever get to check the band in your area, do not hesitate, you will spend a great evening. One last little thing, François handed personnally a copy of one of their gigs to James Hetfield ; if this isn't top class, then I wonder what is … …
