Anyone who has seen Metallica's Some Kind of Monster knows that during the two-plus years they spent recording what eventually became St. Anger, many more songs were worked on. Many of these songs were featured in the film, most notably from the Presidio base where they set up camp in 2001 to record. These sessions were largely abandoned when James returned to the fold in mid 2002. When a small EP promoting the film came out, surprisingly it featured none of the outtakes or alternate versions (just live cuts from club shows). The fact that they have released these now is quite surprising and makes me think that Metallica (who are now technically free agents) are looking towards the future with some cool releases up their sleeves.The Presidio album features the following tracks:
'Intro'
'Dead Kennedy Rolls'
'Unbridled'
'The Boogeyman'
'Ain't Asked No More'
'Temptation'
'Surfing The Zeitgeist'
'More Than This'
'Shadow Of The Cross'
