Old metallica music is so much fun to play when you have your guitar and amp and a cd player playin' really loud ... i tried playing king nothing and aint my bitch ... its not the same as fight fire with fire or damage inc. or blackened. (well nothing off their newer albums is)
Well either way it (Lars's lawsuit(s)) has tainted my view of them as a band and their (IMO) lack of effort for like 3 Cd's doesn't make me run back to a defensive position for them. Kirk doesn't really even play solos anymore.
He just turns on his wahwah and maybe a couple of other effects and trills a few notes and throws a scale picked like sanitarium or fade to black. What happened ?
They realized they didn't have to put effort into their music to suck?Quote:

I was not surprised by Lars' decision to sue these fans over the use of Napster.
Metallica's road to "selling out" began with the Black Album, when they went from pure, no-BS, fast-paced tempo, insanely brutal, radio-unfriendly thrash metal, to watered-down, slowed-down tempo, radio-friendly metal that's essentially borderline pop-metal. That road continued with Load and ReLoad, when they went in a bluesy direction, but during that period, what pissed the fans off more than that was the fact that they cut their hair, which was a stupid reason to accuse them of selling out. That particular reason to call Metallica sell-outs is also contradictory and hypocritical in a sense, because Kerry King of Slayer and Scott Ian of Anthrax, both of whom had long hair during the 80s, shaved their heads bald. Did any of their fans accuse them of selling out for cutting their hair? Absolutely not. I mean, after all, shaving your head bald DOES count as cutting your hair, doesn't it? Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden cut his hair.
Metallica's first mistake was hiring Bob Rock to produce the Black Album. If I'm not mistaken, Bob Rock is associated with the production of pop-metal, such as Bon Jovi's "Slippery When Wet", and glam-metal albums, such as Motley Crue's "Dr. Feelgood." That decision to have Bob Rock produce the Black Album has led Metallica down the road to making radio-friendly albums and songs for the purpose of financial gain.
Fortunately for the disenfranchised Metallica fans who have been betrayed by the band, such as myself, Bob Rock, who produced every Metallica album from the Black Album onward, will NOT be producing Metallica's next album. Instead, it will be Rick Rubin behind the soundboards. Rubin's claim to fame among metal's inner circles is having produced what is perhaps the heaviest and most aggressive metal album of all time (and my personal favorite album): Slayer's 1986 album, Reign In Blood. I'm hoping this will set Metallica back on the right track musically.
Heh it was a Joke; prehaps mellodrama sacrasm tags next time? :)Quote:

Load came out right before i went to military boarding school ... this album was supposed to be better than black (which was when i started calling them sell outs). It wasn't and i was sooo pissed because i went and bought tickets to the concert (when they toured load -of crap-) for a celebration of completing a year of hell !Quote:

I am not saying i could write "and nothing else matters" or "struggle within" or maybe be more technical or faster or whatever. I'm just saying it looks like metal is going down the poop chute if we allow metallica to lead the front lines of "Metal" as they are now ... maybe old and over the hill, maybe they just don't give a F**k ...
