Screw Metalica

Metallica... one of my 4 major bands that I automatically buy when they release a new album... I'm all over this one, especially since it's being compared to their "old" stuff.

I say screw metallica also! No more Jason Newstead, one of the biggest sell-out bands ever. I gave up on them after Metallica - Metallica. I am sure this album will suck along with everthing they have released after Metallica-Metallica. Long live thier old albums though! Master of Puppets, And Justice For All.....good shit. As for present Metallica........

Screw Metallica. I said bye to them after they tried to sue their fans over the Napster thing.

They are almost as good as Spinal Tap just without the meaningful lyrics

I DID love Metallica, but they sort of lost me during that whole Napster deal. I saw them as whiny and representative of the Music industry as a whole. But I still can rock out to Master of Puppets and Garage Days Revisited.

Kill Them All = Great
Ride The lightening = Great
Master of Puppets = Great
And Justice For All = Great
"Black album" = Utter shit
Load = Load of crap
Reload = as if the first one wasn't bad enough

throw in napster and metallica has had a run of crap for a good 10 years...

I am highly skeptical...

i would venture a guess more likely than not the new album is not "like there old stuff" but is a poor attempt to recreate a style, emotion and aggression that metallica as musicians lost a long time ago... after listening to the sample of "Frantic" off the website it sure sounds liek they are trying to hard... what used to come natural is now something they have to work for, some thing contrived...

I hope im wrong

Metallica touring this summer with Drowning Pool. Rob Zombie will be lead vocals for Drowning Pool. That is pretty lame in my book. Metallica put out some good music but became a bunch of prima-donnas. Zombie is definitely looking for some headlines pulling this gig.

im lost?

metallica is touring with linkin park and limp bizkit i thought

The problem with Metallica is that they as individuals and a group, got old.. Not too many bands can keep their same "edge" as they age. Metallica should have hung it up after and Justice for All, and faded out with style and dignity... They are nothing more than posers who have sold out to the "man" now.....

Just heard the title tune from the new CD. It sucks ass, very dissapointing. To describe, it sounds like a mix between Megadeath and Celine Dion.

thats just my opinion and I could be wrong

Metallica sucks ... I'm into Ja Rule, Ludacris and 50 Cent

Interesting... I just heard the title song "St. Anger" and it freakin' rocked. (Of course I'm a die hard Metallica fan, so I "get" there music.) This song was unique for sure because it sounded like their old stuff and new mixed together with an even newer sound. Only Metallica can do that with their stuff and make it work. Of course no matter what, fans and nonfans are going to find some way to criticize it... that's what you do when you have a band that's been as dominate as they have been. It's not out yet, but you can already mark me down as owning it.

I keep hearing that they went back to their original formula for music on this album. Maybe it's worth listening too??? Anybody know where you can preview a clip???

OK, im just gonna act like that wasn't an insult aimed at people who loved metallica before they sucked



i just heard it too, if you consider sounding like shit "working" then yeah the new metallica songs "Works"



i dont mean to be personaly insulting with this but, i just dont understood this... i honestly thought everyone would quit listening when the Black album sucked ass... i thought they stopped being a dominate force in music when they became irrelevant... oh well... maybe warmed over, uninventive music is now dominant...

I have to hear more... im still undecided, but honestly i am less than unimpressed... actually what i have heard has given me even less faith that metallica was ever good... im starting to think the first 4 albums were flukes

click the stanger link in the first post... you can here three songs... but it is also in rotation on rock radio

Just listened to it. Sound like Godsmack to me...

When Metallica sound like another band, and not the other way around, it's time to hang it up....

I won't be buying this Metallica album either. Black was the last one I purchased, and I only liked 3 songs off of it. All their albums before that completely rocked.....

the godsmack referance is a bit of a complement... i dont find it that appealing.

but you are right about the fact that they need to give it up when they sound like other bands...

Save your money and pick up 'The Golden Age of Grotesque' from Marilyn Manson instead. Much more fun to listen to.

yup... check my sig

nothing like manson singing big band swing inspired scat

Actually, it sort of was. I especially love the take, "Metallica died with Cliff Burton." Get over it and turn the page. They've moved on with the rest of the world, putting out new stuff that still rocks (and In Justice for all album was as good, if not better than the previous albums).
Let me guess, you compared it to the old stuff (as that's how you still want to view Metallica today). Let me remind you, that was 20 years ago. It hardly worked then and it's not going to work now. Plus, James's voice is more mature and he can't sing like that anymore. They have to go with what works and they do a pretty good job of it (changing their sound and still sounding good - this is where some bands fall off the earth).
There's another one of those takes. Yeah, the Black album sucked. How come everyone finally knew of them after it came out? All of their old stuff owes the black album everything because once the Black album came out and everyone loved it (oh yeah, it sucked), people realized there were 5 earlier albums (including Garage Days) and made those popular as well. There were only a few people that were able to listen to the old stuff at the time it came out because it wasn't mainstream. Granted, after people went back and listed to the old stuff they realized the Black album wasn't as good, but to say it sucks is just wrong.

Here's to Metallica, the Led Zepplin of my generation!

I agree...I heard three tracks off the new Shitallica.....Absolute crap. The best part of that band died when Cliff Burton died. "Sad but True."

Oh well....they've sucked for so long it really doesn't matter anymore.

The new Manson, I agree, is quite interesting. I have not paid attention to him since "Smells Like....", but I picked this new one up and was rather impressed with a good bit of it.

Trivia question for your guys (and gals) out there.....What Scandinavian band did Manson's new bass player originally hit limited success with? It was quite a while ago.....

:p

I like Godsmack for the most part, just don't like the fact that the new Metallica stuff seems to sound like them.
