New Metallica Song

[kellychaos]

The first single that I've heard, "ST Anger", really blows. If, by tradition, the first single is the best song on the CD, I'm definitely not even going to waste my time buying it (I've heard they've made if "download proof" >: ). Another question while I've got your attention. When and why did James Hetfield decide he actually had the talent to sing (Re: Cover of Bob Seger's "Turn The Page") and continue to want to sing songs. The primal screaming in the first three albums or so was fine with me. Leave well enough alone.

I didn't hear this song until about three days ago on the radio. God, how I laughed! Just further proof that any Metallica past 1989 is shit.

[kellychaos]

Isn't that about the time most of them sobered up? If that ain't an argument for alcoholism and drugs. :)

[The Retro Kat]

Shi mother fuckin yat. That was one of the crappiest Metallica songs ever. It made me laugh.

[Geggy]

They've been sucking ever since they cut their hair short. It's gotta be the hair.

[kellychaos]

It's like Sampson n' shit.

[Ninjavenom]

The drumming is fucking ridiculous. I am still confident (moreso tenfold, now) that i can outdrum Lars Ulrich. I don't even play drums. ...yet.

the drumming has always been bad becouse Lars Ulrich has never been especially good. He said himself that "black album"s drumming was mostly made up of samples.

As for the new Metallica.......................the albums after master of puppets had some good tunes......but St Anger pisses me off.
The new bassist looks like something straight out of a lame ass NU metal band like linkin park. The band has completely sold out and become NU metal shit. Wouldnt surprise me if next album, Hetfield starts to rap. What I dont understand is why though, they should have enough money by now........

fuck you metallica. You sold out you motherfuckers.

I heard they are going to do a stage performance with linkin parg, korn and Avril Lavinge, its gonna take a lot of fucking good music made before I respect them again....


if this post is more shit t then othre post its becouse Im drunk

[Protoclown]

My god. I have heard this song now and it is worse than I ever could have imagined. And given the crap they've been doing for the past decade, I could imagine quite a bit.

[Skulhedface]

Frankly, I'm ashamed at all of you that thought it might be better than the craptastic crap they've been putting out for the past 5 or so years. >:

[Anonymous]

i heard it on my car with my windows down and going like 85, so i thought i was mistaken that it sounded like ass

i guess sometime i'll download it to try to prove myself wrong, since i really like load and reload

[EvilDeadAsh]

Weakest track on the cd.

[Blackjack]

I randomly saw Metal-lica live on MTV in the pub last night. Why was Hetfield trying to look like Fred Durst?

Metal-lica went to shit after Burton died - Even Justice isn't especially good. I haven't heard the new single but generally the feedback is very, very negative.

Not my words. That's the way it was stated in the article I read although I'm not sure how they define "download proof". Although I agree (I think what you're implying anyway) that there is always a way to get around whatever protective encryptive measures they attempt to use, the fact that the attempt is being made in the first place pisses me off. In fact, this band has annoyed me ever since they went on their tirade against Napster. Also, the drumming on the song I've heard so far sounds like they're pounding on a tin can and any meaningful guitar solo is nonexistent. Whatever happened to that cool double-bass sound they were developing around the time of "... And Justice For All" ?

AJFA was the very best of old Metallica, by far, in my opinion.

[kellychaos]

AJFA was the very best of old Metallica, by far, in my opinion.

As an entire album, I agree although some of my favorite individual songs came prior to AJFA. It seems that the AJFA was about the time they were perfecting the sound they were going for ... and then they changed on the Black album. :/

[moonlitnight]

In my opinion the black album was a great one :)

[Grazzt]

I've never liked Metallica. Let the stoning commence.

[snake]

AJFA was a good album but the production is completely shit....the discant is threatening to blow my ears out each time I hear it.......why? Couse its produced by Hetfield and Ulrich....something they obviously did'nt know jack shit about. In my opinion "kill em all" is the best album, then MOP. It all went downhill after MOP.
:(

[Rez]

i've never listened to metallica *shrug*

[Blackjack]

I'm afraid there is only one Master of Puppets - the greatest album ever created. Otherwise, anything Metal-lica produced thereafter can burn in hell. Motherfucker.

[noob3]

If they had Cliff with them while they were actually making AJFA, it would of fucking destroyed any other album ever. It would have been like Puppetsx100. And I'm pretty sure he wrote most of that shit, too.

UNFORTUNATLEY, HE WAS DEAD. :tear

Noob,

Do you think Dave Mustaine had any lasting lyrical influence on the band after he was booted out or was the style of the first three albums due mostly to Cliff ... or both?

[CastroMotorOil]

kelly that depends on whether you ask anyone else or dave mustaine, he thinks he is responsible for basically all of metallica's success. he also claims to have originated a whole style of guitar playing, which pantera copied off of him. Even you don't like pantera, you have to admit dimebag is is own guitarist, whether he sucks or not is irrelavant. Mustaine is basically also claiming to be responsible for pantera's success.

I hate dave mustaine. Whiny bastard. :wah :wah

[kellychaos]

I'm not really a huge Megadeth fan ... a few songs here and there ... but I must admit, they were one of the early bands that were there at the beginning and doubtless had an effect on some bands although I doubt their influence is as broad as Mustaine professes. At least they maintained some of their original musical integrity. <shrug >

[Mouser]

I think they recorded the album especially raw to re-establish their cred, but it wound up sounding like it was recorded through a $30 Aiwa tape deck in someone's garage. See Source Tags & Code for an album that accomplishes raw without the shitty.

[kellychaos]

I think that they lost even the "ghost" of the nucleus of talent that ever had and are trying to see how long they can coast on a band name that, once upon a time, meant something.

[SLjimbo]

I usually don't care for Metallica, but for fuck's sake, why is there at least 12 close-ups of Lars' troll face in the ST. Anger video? :x

It's funny seeing how some people are holding their breaths so that Metallica reverts back to their old sound.

[Helm]

What the fuck happened to the production? I mean, Kill 'em all sounded better than that pile of dung. The snare hits are horrible. Is this Larch's and Bob's vision of what 'modern' drumming is about? And the fact that there's double bass all over the place doesn't save the sloppy songwriting one bit. And there's not ONE lead, let alone solo in the whole album(besides some silly harmony breaks). Why did they need Hammet in the band, then? The rhythm is buried in the mix as well. I actually had to watch Hetfield's hands and translate that into tone in my mind to figure out what the riff was behind that freakin' stomping snare hit. And it wasn't particularly pretty.

AJFA is my personal favourite as well, eventhough I do aknowledge Master for being nearly flawless in terms of consistency (just take Messiah out of there), you simply cannot beat the trio of One, Frayed and Eve. There's some suck in that album, but the good ones are really so much better than the overall Master vibe, in my oppinion. And I sorta like the sterile, clinical aspect of it's sound.

[whoreable]

for some reason they musta got the idea that shitty recordings make for a harder sound. brilliant. :rolleyes

[Helm]

Garage bands have that sort of sound because they have no fucking money to hire Bob Rock to clean them up. And what do metallica that can, do with him? They make him bend over and let Urich fuck him right up the ass. A fate worse than death. Damnit, garage bands have better mixes that this anyway.

[whoreable]

maybe they saved the production money to buy ferraris or something. that would be the only reasonable explanation.

greedy fuckers knew people would buy it no matter what it sounded like

[kellychaos]

Several years ago, the guy from "Dinosaur" had a better garage sound and he did all the mixing/editing himself.

[noob3]

Lots of bands have a good live (garage) sound on tape, it's not hard to get.

[kellychaos]

It's better that they get it on their own to pay some hotshot producer to fake it. :)

[noob3]

Why are you telling me this? I have Steve Albini in my personal picture, for fucks sake.

The drumming is fucking ridiculous. I am still confident (moreso tenfold, now) that i can outdrum Lars Ulrich. I don't even play drums. ...yet.
true dat. but ridiculous almost sounds like you're saying the drumming was really good. i would have said, "the drumming is fucking dislexic." hmm.

[Schimid]

"the drumming is fucking dislexic." hmm.

That's fucking ironic. :eek
