While I respect Dave Mustaine, I am glad Kirk plays with Metallica. He has a style of guitar solos that is all his own and it always fits perfectly to the song, everytime. Dave Mustaine's style is different than Kirk's and I don't think Dave's guitar solos would've sounded good over rythyms like Sanitarium or Fade to Black. Plus, if Dave would've stuck around then James wouldn't have been lead singer, and chances are we wouldn't have songs like One or Enter Sandman, and if we did, they wouldn't be as awesome without James singing them.
Lars sounds roughly the same as he ever did. And you can tell it's Cliff and not Jason. Even if you didn't know what year Jason joined or anything, you can tell because when Cliff plays bass, you can actually hear it. Jason always played a simple bass line to James' rythyms, leaving the bass rather inaudible.
NOTE - James does sing on Ride the Lightning, Fight Fire with Fire and Creeping Death, which means this demo may have been recorded after Mustaine left, meaning that you're hearing Kirk on lead guitar. Meh, maybe I'm wrong, I don't know for sure.
