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 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.

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.
