ReLoad Info Compilation

I know that there is a lot of info on this page about song titles beeing confirmed, possible, or denied, and it get's very confusing, so I put together this compilation:

The following are things that we KNOW about ReLoad

-It's called ReLoad
-It comes out
  • 11/14 Japan
  • 11/17 Worldwide
  • 11/18 North America
-It WILL include Devil's Dance (Jaymz said that a million times while on tour), ALTHOUGH that might be a working title, and therefore might change.
-The following tracks will also be on there (once again, titles might change)
  • Fuel
  • Fixxxer (or Fixer or Fixxer)
  • Martini
  • Unforgiven II
  • Bad Seed
  • Mine eyes (also listed places as "My Eyes")
  • The Memory Remains (with guest singer Marianne Faithfull)
  • Low Man's Lyric
  • (and as I said earlier) Devil's Dance
So that's 9 out 13 songs we know
***Please note, that it has been speculated that "Mine Eyes" has turned into "Low Man's Lyric"
-First Single will be "The Memory Remains" (with guest vocalist Marianne Faithfull) (also, noteworth is the fact that Inter Sandman miraculously has the lyrics to this)
-ReLoad is more "dense"
-Jason has had a lot of writing imput on ReLoad (I think I heard one of the songs is completely writen by him)

The following things are possibilities, rumors, or probablities

-"The Memory Remains" single is rumored to be released 11/10 (source:IS)

-"Better Than You" is another possible song (small peice can be heard on FanCan #1 CD)

-"Lenny" is a song I've seen in 2 or 3 places. I'm thinking that it could be made up, by someone using logic of Ronnie being on Load (if you don't get what I'm say don't worry), but it could also be very true, if you use that same logic.

-Other rumored track lists are at IS, but I'm not going to just copy them, talk about ripping off.


-Another song for ReLoad has been confirmed, it's called "Low Man's Lyric", and The Metallica Club has said it to be a ballad. It was played at the Bridge School Benefit Concert, on Oct. 18th. (Check General Newz for details on that show)

-The first single from ReLoad called "The Memory Remains". It features guest vocalist Marianne Faithfull, a folk singer from the 60's. (rumored release date is 11/10)

-Mark DeVito confirms the following 6 songs for ReLoad (there is no guaranty that these titles won't change)... Thanks MightyHet
Fixxxer
Bad Seed
Martini
Unforgiven II (or 2 or two, or too)
My Eyes
Fuel

-Metal Edge had an interview with Metallica (well Jason, Kirk, and Lars, but not James) for 2 1/2 hours. Some new songs were reported, which were "Bad Seed", "Unforgiven II", and "Fuel" was also confirmed by the band to Metal Edge. Although it's not mensioned, I'm sure Devil's Dance will be on there (but possibly under a different name. Here was his post:

"Subject: GERRI RESPONDS
Date: Tue, Oct 7, 1997 02:21 EDT
From: MtlEdge

Right now I'm so tired I can barely see straight and have to proof/edit two articles before I can go to bed, but Metallica was definitely worth it. I got a total of 2 1/2 hours with Jason, Kirk, and Lars (in that order) and some photos in the studio including James but not of the whole band together.
We talked about the new album extensively, the Load 'sellout' issue, tour plans (International first; sheds late summer), the movies in the works, feelings about the Net/online, etc.
I also got to hear six songs, some of which will get title changes; my favorites were a slamming song called "Fuel" and another heavy groove rocker called "Bad Seed." I also heard a cool sequel to "Unforgiven" that may be called "Unforgiven Too" (or II)--it's a new arrangement and has new lyrics. There will be 13 total. I'll have more when the transcript's back"

-Marianne Faithfull is confirmed to be singing on a track from ReLoad. (Now confirmed to be "The Memory Remains", which will also be the first single)
-ReLoad!!!!!!! It was confirmed ny the official Metallica Club, that the next album will be calles "ReLoad"!! It will be released Nov. 14 in Japan, Nov. 17 Worldwide (except USA), and Nov. 18 in the US.

-New lyrics to Fuel!! Fuel was played at the recent European Festivals, with NEW LYRICS!! Lyrics are available at my Album Lyrics Page. If you want to know where to get the MP3 of the new version E-mail me.

-From Jaymz himself! Album #7 will have 13 songs. 1/2 the guitar and bass is done, and 3 of the vocals are done! Also a line form Fuel-Fuck 'em man, White nuckle tight.

-Approx 30 songs were made during the Load sessions, 14 of the most complete ones made Load, the rest will be album #7.

-2 of the songs are done and just need mixing: Devil Dance and Fuel. Fuel is A WORKING TITLE, and very well might change!!! (Lyrics available, on my lyrics page: Album Lyrics)
