i mean, cmon their new album is an utter crock of shit. nothing compared to their other classics. not one solo on the full thing!! wtf?!?!
and why is james hetfield becoming more like a cheesy sweedish pornstar in every video? (or is that just me? ) just the way he makes all these mad faces to the camera and his huuuuge teeth and scary beardy thing. tis a wee bitty disturbing.
what has happened to metallica??? it brings a tear to my eye to think of it......

But you have to remember , with each 'Tallica album their music has changed and evolved , Ride the Lightning was more musically complex than Kill Em All , then Master of Puppets (their masterpiece) more complex still.
Justive for all was the most complex.
I dunno bout their new bassist though , hes like some sort of mutated crab or summit..
lol, i know what you mean about their new bassist. you ever saw him live? kirk and james are playing all serious and metal-hardcore, then hes at the left of the stage jiving about with these big 4-foot long braids, and doing that russian dance where u squat really low and kick your legs!!
fucking hilarious!!
Load & Re-Load are much much better. the drumming sounds like Lars is using metal bins, songs have crap lyrics & are too repetitative (frantic-tic-tic-tock - WTF?!?)
it's ironic that metallica now is what Jason Newstead wanted it to be.
I do agree that their tracks are a bit repetetive lyrically (and long), but for a come back album, and breaking in a new bassist, it's not all bad. Not withstanding, are the less than admirable drumming talents of Lars, and the poorly directed vids so far.
And finally, not forgetting, all the bands that were playing thrash in their youth, have either broken up, or mellowed out as they aged. Most of Metallica are pushing 40, and in metal terms, thats more than a lifetime. So comparing their current sound to that of their past, from my point of view is slightly biased and unfair.
Yeh, I'll agree with that. I don't know a lot about metal But the likes of Megadeth and Pantera have all split up or lost the plot while Metallica have managed to keep on pleasing the fans. A few of my mates were down in Dublin last week for a Metallica gig and they said it was brilliant. At least they're not making some sad old attempt to recapture their youth, like a musical mid life crisis!
I prefer Load, though, which is still very heavy.
I'd like the older ones more if they sounded less thin.
Hetfields voice has got much better over the years.
Have you ever heard the songs from St Anger played live? if you havent then dont bother replying. I saw them at Leeds on friday and St. Anger and Frantic sounded brilliant next to the other songs like Blackened and No Remorse.
My Point: St Anger is an album about anger. The clue is in the title. James and co. have done everything they can to make the album sound meaner and harder (James' voice is straining through all 70 minutes. Would you rather he just sat down and wrote pretty country music like on Load?)
When metallica get round to making a new album it wont be anything like the drop-tuned chunga chucka stuff, so quit being a whining git.
Tool are a far better band anyway.
However my brother said they were amazing at Leeds and played all old stuff and only the two latest singles...he hates the new stuff but says it was amazing live because they played it so hard and fast.
His best friend got James Hetfield's pick. (Shortly to be on e-bay lol)
You left?! :eek2:
The new stuff isn't that bad.
Fran-tick-tock-tick-tock
Wow, how inspiring! Lol
Lol I know! At least they didn't play the whole new album.
However it's Metallica and you don't get many chances to see them live!
Couldn't have said it better myself. Bravo!
It's Fran-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tock
Ugh! I hate arena tours!! Why oh why would they want to do something as souless and boring as an arena tour?!
Steps were an arena tour band, Metallica are not. I really hope they don't do it to be honest.
All the greats have done arena tours. Alice Cooper, Alice in Chains, Motorhead, Iron Maiden, and Metallica in the past. Can't go wrong if all the big metal names have suceeded :O
I just think arenas are never as good as smaller venues for bands in general. Like I saw Radiohead in a big arena two years ago and although it was good, it was ruined by the fact it was in a place that was cold and impersonal. I then saw Radiohead a few months ago in a much smaller venue and although the setlist wasn't as good, it was a lot better because they were much closer and talked to the crowd more. I think it would equate the same way for metal bands.
I've only ever seen Motorhead in small places...couldn't imagine them in an arena :eek2:
oh, and the cieling would catch fire after the first pyro
but mettalica can still play, sounded like a studio quality when the yplayed enter sandman yet you knew it werent so that hasnt changed!
thats just not true dude, Metallica are one of the few thrash bands with a genuine intellectual gravitas. They also rock. Hard. And have brilliant songs
hence why they arent shit. Where are British Sea Power gonna be in 22 years?
they have individual character as well as a band. A few things are pretty good with metallica, a couple insane solos but slash is just slash.
metallica now sound as if they actually feel sorry for themselves!
