old metallica = holy shit! this is awesome!
newer metallica = holy shit! this is shit!

 

[TklDuo-Drew]

Drew, i love ya. yer a great guy. but...um...Garage Inc. had stuff that was recorded during the Puppets/Lightning/Justice days. stuff that didn't go on the final tape but was kept around. that being said, their cover of Whiskey in the Jar was awesome.

Ok....I forgot the "Garage Days" ep was included on this, and that was from the great Metallica era. But....c'mon......"Turn the Page"???? Or even worse....."Tuesday's Gone"? Even the Skynyrd version sucks!

If their new album is a let down, there's always Trivium's latest which is a total rip off...I mean, homage to Metallica's early material.

I used to LOVE Metallica and thought they were the heaviest thing on the planet until someone introduced me to Swedish metal bands.

Still love Metallica though...but like you said, nothing after the Black Album. Their own record label turned St. Anger off after less than half the album. I really hope this is something that'll make Cliff Burton proud.

Yeah, yeah, yeah..Some things shouldn't be covered..

I don't hear you complainin' bout their own stuff much... 😎

Whilst 'Master of Puppets' is my favorite album by Metallica, I enjoyed each album on their own accord. Sure, black album isn't thrashy like their first four albums, but it was still good (with St. Anger probably being the worst album).

Metallica's reknowned for doing whatever they want to do, and the fact that they choose to move different directions deserves some respect in itself.

'Tuesday's Gone' was good because they could pull it off. Have you seen Hetfield cover that country song "don't you think the outlaw bit has got done" at that live gig thing on youtube? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2byurEW-wfU The fact that he can do that and sound like a country singer just goes to show his versitility as a musician.

'Turn the Page' was a wicked cover, I loved it! And the album 'Load' has some ripper tunes on it, 'Bleeding me', 'Outlaw Torn', 'Ain't My Bitch', '2x4'...sure it is different to the shit you'd hear off Ride or Justice, but I reckon it is good. I believe that those who don't recognise their musical direction and accept it as a part of the Metallica experience really don't fully appreciate them as a band.

Let's face it, Metallica's upcoming album could be terrible, but they would still sell out stadiums all around the world. It's no wonder this album is taking so long for them to put together, cuz they keep fucking off overseas to play big festivals, because at the end of the day, they are a live band, who will make whatever music they want and pull it off live in a spectacular show that will forever separate them from the rest of the pack.

However, I read in an interview, Kirk said that the new album could be the missing link between 'Justice' and 'Black'. They are going back to a 9 or 10 song album, the guitar solos are back, from the looks of that preview they sound like they've got there sound back pre St. Anger.

Now we play the waiting game....

 

[alchemy]

Now now....

Come on now you guys, don't crap on Crystal's Metallica thread. Granted, I've completely abandoned them as a legitimate metal band these days, but I do still enjoy listening to the first 3 albums...Ride The Lightning being my personal fav.

Crystal, I do hope that the new album lives up to everyone's expectations...as they are pretty fucking high.

...now, about this "let's bash Iron Maiden" thing...

Let's have no more of that, yes?

 

[Goodieluver]

Man that clip is semi depressing when they have vintage devastating metallica and then devastating bad metallica clips.

Will have to see with the new stuff but watching the clip reminds me. One is the perfect example of a band not needing a flashy music vid to rock

 

[alf]

I've discovered Metallica with the so called "black album" ( which in fact is called Metallica ^^ ) ... whatever

i'm sure they can put out some interesting things, they tried to renew but it wasn't a big success , besides TEH James wasn't himself for a while and ....

WHATEVER ! NOW THEYR BACK 🙂

 

[TklDuo-Drew]

Well, let's see if I can't rectify that....when I saw Metallica, they did a great 90 minutes of hard rock. Then they come out for the encore, sit down in chairs(!!) with acoustic guitars and they proceed to bore everyone for 8 minutes with this piece of crap called "Low Man Lyric". At this point Metallica had morphed into Poison/Warrant/Extreme!

[Deleted member 66627]

Drew,

Just further proof that Metallica is capable of capturing every facet of music..


Good.

Bad.

FUCKING GREAT.

ABSOLUTLEY TERRIBLE.

Ok.

OH MY GOD METALLICA OWNS!!

Etc.

I saw the video clip for 'One' when I was ten years old and had nightmares for about a month. Such a haunting film clip. A couple of years ago at this second hand dvd shop in town, I came across the film 'Johnny get your gun' that is shown in the video clip. I bought it and watched it and it was a very average film.

When they played here in '04 at the Big Day Out (finally, i was too young to see them last time, thanks mum!!), they tore the whole place down. You had people from all walks of life there to see them, and even those who weren't big fans (like the fans that had come to see the Black Eyed Peas) just stood there and marvelled at them. The Strokes finished fifteen minutes earlier so Metallica could play for longer.

The moshpit was unreal. No hardcore emo aggressive circle moshpit shit going on. If you needed to tie your shoelace, people made room so you could.

I'll never forget the 12 year old kid who had gotten front row spots to stand for them. This kid had obivously bought st anger and reallly liked it so his folks had taken him to see them. So, when the boys opened with, 'Blackend', you can imagine the distressed look on this family's face. But once again, the mosh pit ruled, everyone made plenty of room for the family to get out of the pit.

 

[slap'n'ticklee]

I wholeheartedly agree. Metallica have enough of a back catalogue for folks to go and see them live to really feel the music even if they don't like the newer stuff or albums after the 'Black' album.

They are one band that I can see live again and again and never tire or get bored of hearing the old favourites. They really have so much attitude and energy on stage it seeps out towards the fans who go fuckin mental as soon as you hear the music from 'The Good, The Bad and The Ugly'...dear God makes the hairs on my head stand up when I hear that intro as I know the wait is over and the thunder that is Metallica will erupt in all their glory, on stage, wow just wow.

You know for me they can have shit albums going forward, I wouldn't care nothing would stop me from seeing them live ever again.



I was there, a few rows from the front; fucking wowzer

I have seen these guys 5-6 times now... and besides my all-time favorite, Guns N' Roses, these guys rock like no other!!! I actually saw them with GnR on their stadium tour years ago... and that was metal heaven!!! Hetfield was relegated to lead singing duties due to his trial by fire in Montreal... he kicked ass and Axl was actually on time... so the stars aligned that night... Best concert I've ever seen... and I've been to quite a few shows...

If Metallica really does get back to their roots, anything close to Kill Em All, Ride The Lightning, or Master of Puppets will give rock-n-roll a shot in the arm... But no matter what happens, they will never write another song as awesome as Fade To Black!!!

[xionking]

Slap'n'ticklee, is that video from their Wembley gig they did not too long ago? If so, I am SOOOOOOOOOO envious of you right now!!!

I have the gig recorded on mp3, pretty good quality. 'Orion' is just the best fucking song. Cliff Burton was the bomb!

Skeeman1, I agree with what your saying about Cliff. If he was still around, would they have really gone the direction they did? Cliff was such a versitile bassist as well, so maybe they might have changed directions, but changed to a complete different direction to where they are now. Who knows? It's too hard to predict.

Cliff = the man who made thrash melodic.
Jason = the live guy (the best live guy i might add).
Rob = crabwalk guy?? who cares, if he can play 'orion' like he did at wembley, in my books he is worthy enough to be in metallica. plus he finger picks just like cliff.

 

[Deleted member 66627]

I wish I was younger then....2...or less when they did the hardcore touring/concerts.

Many people have been let down by them, and that's because they got the grow with them. Metallica came along in a time when shit was kinda down slidin' for me..It helped.

So, Of course I'm gonna be rippin people's throats out who talk snarky bout somethin' so amazing.

They shook up Metal an' just didn't give a fuck. I dig that. And hopefully they will bring the same mentality to their new album.
