I posted this in another topic but I thought I make a thread so more people can find it. This is my collection of Staind bootlegs and rare releases. It's broken up into 2 main sections: Rare Albums & Bootlegs. Rare albums has Tormented & The Singles with all 11 bonus tracks. Bootlegs contain two sub folders: concerts & compilations. Concerts has 18 shows from 1999-2009. The majority of them are from 2001. Compilations has all the stuff that didn't fit anywhere else. There are a couple early demos, some bootleg comps & two comps I put together myself. First is B-Sides & Bonus tracks: pretty simple it's every b-side & bonus track in one place & Rare Songs which is just a bunch of tracks that didn't fit anywhere else. Everything is organized & labeled with album art. Rips of Staind bootlegs can be hard to come by so hopefully this makes some people's search a little easier.

Also if anyone has anything I don't please send it to me & I will add it.

r/Metallica has a bunch of weird rules so I'm posting these in here. Hopefully someone is interested.

I've had an idea in my head for many, many years to do a series of compilations highlighting Metallica's bootlegs. I finally decided to get to it. The idea is to make 12 themed compilations highlighting the best and rarest Metallica live recordings. 8 of these will be based around albums & the rest will each have a unique theme (acoustic, demos, etc.) The idea is for these to appeal to every level of Metallica listener. If you looking for where to start with live concerts here's some of the best stuff. And if you are a hardcore bootleg collector here's some of (hopefully) your favorite stuff in one convenient package.

So here are the first 3 volumes of my Metallica Best of the Bootleg series:

Vol 1: Boot 'em All. Every song from Kill em All with performances ranging from 1982-2003. Highlights include the very first Metallica live recording with No Remorse & an extra groovy very version of Anesthesia from '86. Tried to include as much as Dave as I could without over doing it. Lot's of '83 stuff here. A lot of the Kill 'em All songs weren't the same once James stopped screeching imo.

Vol 2: Burning in My Brain. Live versions of every song from Ride the Lighting from 1983-2012 plus a couple extras. Highlights include a ripping version Fight Fire with Fire from '86 & a rare 80's performance of Trapped Under Ice. Plus you got both When Hell Freezes Over from '83 & The Call of Ktulu with the St. Luke's Symphony from Madison Square Garden. Lots of '84-'86. I did have to cheat with Escape because the only played it once and it was technically on an official release. But what are you gonna do?

Vol 3: Powerhouse of Energy. By this point I'm sure you get the idea. It's Master of Puppets but live. 1986-2006. I didn't have to cheat this time because Orion is an audience recording. Highlights include a very rare 80's performance of Disposable Heroes & a real intense version of Damage Inc. from '86. I didn't plan for this one to be a tribute to Cliff but that's what it became. More spoken word audio than usual. Just short clips but stuff I found interesting as well as Ray Burton's Rock n Roll Hall of Fame Speech. And you got the long & short version of Master of Puppets.

These are all about an hour in length in case you want to burn em to a CD like a caveman. If you listen I would love any feedback at all. And if you like them fell free to share or upload wherever you want.

Last thing. I'm a philistine when it comes to production & technology. These have not been altered or sound corrected in anyway. Sometimes a song is a little louder or quieter than the last one. Think of that as part of the bootleg experience. I have edited spoken word interviews into shorter clips and I've taken out some stuff in-between songs so things flow a little better but other than these are the raw, as-is files. And, no, I do not have lossless versions of these.

Here is the tentative list of releases. Titles or themes may change as I see fit.

4. The $0.00 LP

5. Hammer of Justice

6. Black Out

7. ReBoot

8. Back to the Garage

9. Master of Medleys

10. Demos from the Deep

11. Metallicoustic

12. Metallica & Friends
