Metallica

Anyone else listen to the premier of Death Magnetic live tonight? It sounds like they really hit it out the park! If you love 80's Metallica, you're going to like this one. I'll be adding this one to my collection.

I didn't hear it but I do look forward to the new album (or CD I should say)....I am a huge fan!

[RATT]

I like the 3 songs from the album I've heard so far.
My Apocalypse, Cyanide, and The Day That Never Comes.
It definitely sounds like old Metallica. I got my tickets to the concert on Monday. I can't wait to see them live again!

My first and only time I saw Metallica in concert was 1985. It was Day on the Green in Oakland, CA. Metallica, Rising Force, Victory, Y&T, Ratt, & Scorpions. Great concert! I didn't really get re-introduced to them until 1996. Been a big fan ever since, especially/mostly their early stuff. I should have been listening since 1985.

So sounds like old Metallica huh? I'll have to download it.

[Martin71RS]

why download...just buy the CD and support them....

I have all CD's except for the one with the orchestra, I will buy the new one next week :-)

why don't you have S&M? the orchestra made for the perfect "5th member" and really filled in some of the parts from the Cliff Burton era stuff that just seemed to be missing- the Call of Ktulu and For Whom the Bell Tolls are simply amazing with the horns and strings and what not.

[JEFFTATE]

The new album sounds good so far !
I'm actually looking forward to buying this one !

[69Nova]

I think the new CD is gonna be awesome. Anyone seen the video for The Day That Never Comes, what did you think of it?

Oh and S&M is my favorite Metallica CD. I have the CD and DVD.

[BA.]

Glad to hear the positive reviews so far. I've not really gotten into anything they've done since the Black album. I'm more of a fan of their older stuff, Ride the LIghtning, Master of Puppets and 'And Justice for All".

can't wait to get to the store and BUY it and support good groups!

I love old Metallica, new Metallica any Metallica. Alot of metal heads that never changed called them sell outs when they softened up in the 90's and into 00's. Well they were right sell out every concert they had. I think they have done a great job of evolving with their primary audience. I first started listening to Metallica in Jr. High, saw the In Justice for All Tour when I was in 9th grade. They evolved as their audience evolved (well most of their audience). All there stuff is awesome Especially the S&M CD. I heard a few of the new songs on their XM channel and they did sound Ride the Lightningish... which was my favorite CD..

[mach1stang]

I have heard two of there new songs and both where very awsome, there are a few cd's I wanting to get, the offspring - rise and fall rage and grace, and Mudvayne - by the people for the people

It sounds like according to Lars it is ok to download it illegally:

Speaking on San Francisco radio station Live 105, Lars Ulrich said: "If this thing leaks all over the world today or tomorrow, happy days."

oops, sorry about Napster....

Yup! I heard it. I tuned into to Metallica.com to listen to the extra hour(!) that wasn't broadcast on the radio. I dig this album- it feels like And Justice For All... pt II.
The first time I heard The Day That Never Comes I wasn't too sure. The second time was like Yep! Then I saw the video- AWESOME!!
On Napster-- Metallica was always cool w/ bootleg stuff (anybody old enough to remember Cliff 'em All?). When they were still working on "I Disappear" and an unfinished version shows up on Napster, they flipped out. I would too. So would any other hard working individual- It's called theft! As far as Lars' comment, that was in regard to some French dork work got a copy of Death Magnetic and then posted it on the internet-- it's theft and Lars was really cool about the whole deal.
Oh yeah- S&M is one of (if not) my favorite albums, although Metallica's latest version of Ecstasy of Gold is even better than S&M's version.

Agreed. There is nothing better.

This will probably only interest a select few of you, but I've heard the entire Death Magnetic album will be available as downloadable content for Guitar Hero. As well as rumors of a whole Guitar Hero:Metallica edition coming in the spring.

I've ignored everything they did after the black album. And the documentary they did a few years ago (Some Kind Of Monster) really turned me off to Lars and James as people. Kirk Hammet is the only one I like. RIP Cliff. I still love KTA, RTL, and MOP...but I'm hesitant to support them any further. They have enough money. There are newer bands out there that are made up of better and more deserving people. I would rather lend my support to them.

I'm sure the album is probably good. But I'll pass.

Well, according to the show/interviews yesterday...all of their lives have changed for the better and "cleaned up" to save Metallica as a whole since Some Kind of Monster. I never saw the show. I don't know the guys and don't really care what they do. I just listen to the music for what it is.

Entertainment. Metallica highly entertains my brain.
