From Wikipedia:

Enter Sandman" had what Hetfield
described as a "wall of guitars"— three
rhythm guitar tracks of the same riff
played by himself to create a " wall of
sound". [3] According to engineer Randy
Staub, close to 50 takes of the drums
were recorded because Ulrich did not
record the song in its entirety, but rather
recorded each section of the song
separately. [7] Because it was difficult to
get in one take the "intensity" that the
band wanted, numerous takes were
selected and edited together. [6] Staub
mentioned that the producing team spent
much time in getting the best sound from
each part of the room and used several
combinations of 40 to 50 microphones in
recording the drums and guitars to
simulate the sound of a live concert."

THAT'S how you get a wall of sound.

(Not to promote the song though, it's underlying message is horrific...)

"The Wall of Sound is the name some people gave to a super powerful, extremely accurate PA system that I designed and supervised the building of in 1973 for the Grateful Dead. It was a massive wall of speaker arrays set behind the musicians, which they themselves controlled without a front of house mixer. It did not need any delay towers to reach a distance of half a mile from the stage without degradation."
Between 1965 and 1967, Stanley produced more than 1.25 million doses of LSD.

This appears somewhat excessive:
ImageProbably had a great feel and spread if it was not turned up to uncomfortable SPLs. Just looked at a diagram of The Greatful Dead WOS and yeah it seems massive especially for the time. Phil Spector, I don't know anything about the guy except he seems very creepy, Is almost dwarf sized and was found guilty of a gun in mouth tragedy. Apparently he worked on records bossing people around, I've not really ever listened to any of it to be hones

The fact we have yet to of gotten an even slightly coherent thought out of the guy makes me wonder if now he's just doing it for the laughs?

Post

The Dead apparently never turned it up to 11 or not even half way. I think the idea was to get the best fidelity possible by having a shitload of potential and only turning it up loud enough so that everyone could hear.

This is a joke right? Like, I'll admit...It was definately funny at first, but now, really? I mean it's lost it's charm bud, you're not impressing any one.
