Metallica

[trapin]

Well I hope that's true. And if it is I'm glad because it really painted them in a bad light.



I hope I didn't sound too condescending. I still love the old stuff to death and call it up on the Ipod every now and then. I was one of their biggest follower's in the 80's.

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.

I watched the video the other night. I didn't really think it fit the song lyrics. I guess some more explanation is going to have to be given on that one. Everything on the album I've heard rocks!!!! It sounds like Metallica is back with a vengeance! Rick Rubin producing this album definitely put them on the right track.

[Josh69]

I listened to it last night, I was impressed and very glad they got back to their roots, so to speak.

It was the perfect setting for finishing the mechanical section of my PT build in the garage last night....got the ebrakes working and now for the first drive tomorrow!

The Day that Never Comes....fitting, it's finally here for me. ROCK ON!!

I have enjoyed their journey throughout the decades. I can appreciate each album for what it is. I haven't heard the new stuff yet, but am sure it will be good. Need to tune into XM 51 a ittle more often. Metallica 24/7!

Exactly! I love every album for what it is at that point in time. I've changed a lot since Ride the Lightning, so have they. They keep coming out with music that's relavent to where I am in my life -- they're older than me but I seem to be on the same track as them.
Don't get me wrong... Puppets at 11/10's is just right, but I really dig, say.... Bleeding Me just as much.
Rock on dudes!

I saw the video. It was really fake looking. They say in the description of the video that they worked with a renowned film guy and they were very pleasd with it. I wouldn't have been.

This is not a knock on thier music or the song. I love both but the video was terrible. So many wrong things as far as uniforms, equipment and the way Marines do things.

I know you can't get everything correct when filming a scenario of a military operation but it was so far from the way we do things in the military that it was a little funny. I am not sure of the message in it either. Seems like the video for the song should have been something other than what it's about.

i've been hearing the songs on sirius radio for a couple of weeks and the only one that sounds halfway decent (for metallica) is cyanide. it's the live from ozzfest recording so i can't be sure but if the live version is good the album version is usually great.
the rest of it just makes me think of the load/reload albums, but it's a HELL of a lot better than st.anger. that album just sucked. it's the only one i won't buy.
slight hijack: for a band that really went back to their good sh*t, the new SLIPKNOT is friggin insane

[WS6]

ok so how do we near the new stuff online?

[WS6]

never mind http://metallica.com/index.asp?item=601197

oh HELL YA!

[WS6]

I'll pass on this album too. The songs are just too choppy and do not flow. I'm even listening to their old stuff just to compare. The old stuff is just better song writing and music to me. It's as if James is trying to do some badass spoken word type singing instead of just singing. The riffs are just very disconnected on this new album.

[trapin]

That old stuff brings back a lot of memories.

I still say the first 1:06 of battery is probably the greatest intro in the history of Heavy Metal.
I still get chills when I hear it. Pure Genius.

They lost their minds in the 90's. I'd love to see them go back to the speed metal format.
Why the hell not? What have they got to lose?

I felt the same way about the video. I like the song I just think the video is kinda off.

Being I keep getting a message at the top that I need to be more active, I'll contribute my thoughts.

Bland and boring. I listened to the new songs and as I got to the 4th one, it hit me. So I listened to all of them and I was finally able to put my finger on what is/was really wrong with Metallica for at least the last decade. 99% of their songs have the same tempo through every verse and the songs all have the same basic structure. Going back and listening to songs from the past few albums confirmed this for me. There is no creativity at all, like they used to have up until And Justice...
I'll skip this one too, like I did the others. At least Slayer should have a new one out soon

[killer69]

WEll who knew there would be so many metallica fans on the board.
i haven't had a chance to hear the new stuff. but from what i am reading it will be worth the 29$ to go buy it. i have to say that the black album is by far my fav but justice or all and ride the litening rock too.

hey what about the new ac/DC black ice, the first singe sounds good too.

[JayR]

Bought my tickets for the 12/1 show with a package deal that includes the cd but I'll be going to the show to hear the old stuff.

Hard to beat the 8 songs on Ride the Lightning!

The great thing about Metallica shows is that they know why we're there and they belt out all the old stuff. When they came back on the 2nd leg of the last tour, it was like they were apologizing for St Anger and played 95% Black Album and earlier.

[megaladon6]

i just wish the new tour had all the bands at every show, not rotating.

what is/was really wrong with Metallica for at least the last decade. 99% of their songs have the same tempo through every verse and the songs all have the same basic structure.

that's what it is!!! i never quite caught it before. unfortunately the new slayer is also the last one, but after almost 30yrs...

Mudvayne - by the people for the people

Mudvayne has a new cd coming out? awsome. Chad also fronts HellYeah which is a great band.

Looking forward to this new Metallica cd as so far it sounds like they've gone back to their older style but still touch of modern.

Yeh heard Psychosocial...f'n rocks, song just pounds

My first and only time I saw Metallica in concert was 1985.

I was born in Feb 1985.
