Title: Metallica: Through The Never (2013)
Post by: Tru on December 21, 2013, 01:28:20 AM: Has any one seen this? I probably shouldn't say this but I happened across an HD screener of this tonight.

Metallica Through The Never 3D Official Trailer #2 (2013) - Metallica Movie HD (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Z-g053X390#)

I find the idea of making a music video in the form of a second party story quite a good concept. About 1/4 into it, I think the real action is about to start.

Mike Pinder describes how the mellotron works (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajGdNTFxRy0#)

And a wiki
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mellotron (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mellotron)

It seems Mike Pinder actually worked at the manufacturing facility before playing with the Moody Blues. Kind of explains how he was so proficient with it. Amazing machine and I'm a sucker for early electromechanical devices.

I have a piano (I can't play) I would trade for one. I bet a version based on vhs technology instead of reel to reel (still using tape of course) would make an interesting project. Much more data can be read at the same rate.

Yeah of course modern electronic synths rule the world. But there is still something to be said for old school tubes and technology.

What is that girl up to these days I wonder. (maybe Zoomie knows)

Happy Christ crap anyway Mello wherever you are.
