To be blunt, tone sounds like what I used to get when I was a teenager and used to jam Metallica songs using my Line6 POD with their Mesa model. Can't say if it matches their current live tone as I haven't seen them in ages, but really didn't come close to the live or album tones I remember growing up with...
I read someone's post that mentioned that they TM'd their live rig... then someone said the Axe sounded better than their live rig.
Aside from James' playing being sloppy as hell (at first listen I thought might have been Kirk but then when Kirk kicked into the solo in Creeping Death - the only song I've heard so far - then I knew it was James). I bet if you cranked the sh*t out of this it would sound amazing... the problem is that the tone is very low, even when I cranked my headphones it was very low. Another point: I'm guessing they were trying to go back to their 'Justice' days because the bass was nowhere to be heard. (Edit: Just listened to "Bell"... that's the only place I've heard it clearly so far with those two tracks).
As I said, I sure it sounded great to those in attendance because they probably cranked the sh*t out of it!
