New Metallica

[here'sjohnny]

I used to be a Metallica fan, and will admit i did like the King nothing track off of st. anger, but i just find them a little slow now. They were good when i was a kid, and introduced me to metal but i have out grown them. Even there old stuff is too slow. I'll give this album a listen though, maybe i'll like it.

There's nothing slow about their new track "All Nightmare Long" (the only track I've had time to listen to). My hopes are a bit renewed so far

I really liked the old stuff, but then the Black album came, the MI:2 video, and the whole Napster thing, I drifted away. I used to have the original Garage Days on cassette, and would just listen to it over and over and over and over. It's been lost for years now. Can't find it anywhere.

I don't know. I'll give it a listen. But I'm going into it a skeptic.

Metallica had one good album - Kill 'em All, and Dave Mustaine wrote most of it. Its all downhill from there. Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets are arguable, but even those songs are pointless (wtf is "battery?"), and without Burton they are nothing.

I'm sorry, but with the likes of Sepultura, Slayer, and Pantera, there is no need to listen to Metallica.

I will say they were smart getting Rick Rubin in on the deal, he's produced a shitload of big acts, including Slayer. But still, I haven't bought a CD since '02, and the next one sure as fuck isn't going to be a Metallica album.

Don't take it as I am plugging the band- just the new album. It is a step in a good direction. As for the band, they would probably not break my favorite 300 artist list. Hetfield and Ulrich can go f- themselves. However, it is great to hear Mr. Hammett playing solos again. I was worried the dude came down with arthritis or something after listening to the last couple of albums. I love Robert Trujillo as a bassist and musician in general. He was putting out great music that buried Metallica before joining the band such as Suicidal Tendencies.

I'm with Chris - the best thing I like about metallica is switching channels when it comes on the radio.

I am with you Ted. Any Metallica I have heard on the radio automatically gets switched. I would rather listen to Manudo than to hear Enter Sandman again.

I absolutely can't stand Metallica. At practice I'll turn my snares off so it sounds like I'm hitting an empty keg and play one of Lars' drum beats that any beginner could play.

Lars sucks.

Metallica sucks.

I'm a music snob. "YEAH!!!"

I am a music snob too. That's why I cannot stand played out poser bands like 1817. You may not like Metallica's music, but you should listen more closely to your own band before dissing the talent level of musicians far superior to yours.

damn.

I'm certainly not saying they're at the top of my list, but if you play Orion, or Call of Ktulu... I'm immediately rocking out!

Metallica, whether you like them or not, was a VERY powerful force with their early albums, well written, expertly produced, and able to back that up with sold out world tours.

I don't want to start an argument, since musical tastes are as diverse as cigar preferences. But anybody who says they "suck" is just plain LOST!
