    I agree, anything after 'Load' is shite and that was tenuous....

    I agree. They have fucked up everything ever since and their egos suck big balls as well.

    Am I the only one that prefers Load and ReLoad over the Black album? I don't really like the Black album at all.

    I'm afraid so...

    no offense, but anybody that says "And Justice For All" kinda sucks should really not be taken seriously in a discussion about Metallica. the black album was great. and the high points on "Master of Puppets" were equal to "..Justice", but there were some dead spots. "Load" and "Re-Load" by some unknown band would've been good. but coming from Metallica, they were sacreligious. "St Anger" was flat out unlistenable.

    but seriously, there's not one dead spot or filler song on Justice. one the greatest albums ever made, by far......

    ps. yes, Lars is a douche. but the above are 7 of the greatest songs ever recorded.

    I loved *JUSCTICE* and my favorite had to be *Eye Of The Beholder* then *Shortest Straw* then *ONE*. Those were the days headbanging with a stiff neck. A very underated album due to the poor recording of that record.

    How are Metallica like live? I'm seeing them at the Leeds festival.

    fucking awesome is how they are live. Those songs are just..... Metalica. They will always be good live. The show I saw is the only one I ever snuck into. Cool experience, sneaking into the arena. And Metalica was Metalica, so it rocked. I'm sure you won't be dissappointed.

    I guess I don't see how St. Anger is that bad. I mean it's no masterpiece, but it's miles a head of the Loads.

    Difference is, this album will be a return to their 1980s sound. They didn't say that about St. Anger.

    They sure as shit did. They declared the St Anger album a return to their roots....I heard Lars say that himself during an interview before it was released.

    They have been done for a long time now.

    Couldn't agree more... I have tix for Pinkpop in The Netherlands, where M. will perform : I think I check out the way cool bands that play at the exact time they perform - I hope it will be a nice atmosphere there.

    I remember Kirk saying that the band would be going in a "new direction" on St. Anger, but he never said that there would be a return to form. I must not have read the interview that you read because all I read was that the band was supposedly "progressing" when in reality they were regressing.

    Sorry if this post was a little incoherent.........I'm on my seventh bottle right about now.

    cross between the 2, they said they were going back to their angry heavy writing, which they did, they than said their chords and sound were going to differ.
    the album failed becasue it was produced horribly and james has been fucked up since the fire.
    The band is not done.

    Honestly by the standards in this thread, every band in the world except for the bands that open for pj are done. Its like every band should quit becasue they are not pj, and do not stand for the same thing.Well when reading this thread everyone in here hates every band that trys to be like pj and look up to them. They hate every metal band becasxue the singers are abusive, they hate pop music, they hate old classic singers that are washed up. Dave mathews sucks, their fans suck, i hear people slicing up the chilli pepers, ripping neil young.

    So where exactly do pj fit in. These are their peers, its the bussinness they choose to operate in. Do you really think they hate these bands. No fucking way, its called balance. Without metal bands and pop bands pj would get stale.
    I would take metalica anyday over creed, or posers that try to be pj. At least these bands keep pumping out music to compare to whether you like tghe music or not it sets the standard for what we like as individuals.

    You need individualism in music, like it or not.

    okay enlightener we are so retarted that we are coming out of left field
    what was st anger
    pop
    even with load they used metal chords. it was more balance rock but is stil metal, whe you got to a concert they play heavy metal, christ they toured master of pupets for like 40 dates last year
    its amazing how people write their own stories to these endings

    and decades would be 2
    so lets go 20 years back to 1988, gee they were touring and justice for all, prob the greatest metal album ever, than they toured black for 4 years
    I guess dont tread on me is classic rock.

    Now call me stupid and dumb and wrong like everyone else in this part of the forum.

    It seems like in this other music forum we fake music, we make everyhting revolve around pearl jam.

    I just dont get it, I dont even listen to much metalica, but it was a big part of my youth and a big band in philly, I cant forget their history just to patronize pearl jam.

    btw, this is supposedly one of the new songs.....

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pS5rODQ2ao&feature=related

    I like it. Hetfield's vocals have gone down, but that is probably something that can be fixed in the studio for the album at least. imo, it is a lot better than anything off Load/ReLoad/St Anger. doubt I would put it on the same level as anything on Puppets/Justice/Black Album though, but there is some killer riffing in there. I'm not a fan of that "machine gun" double bass drum death metal drumming that douchebag is doing though.

    I HATED St Anger. I could not listen to it all the way through. and the thing is, the songs may actually have been good, but the production is awful. I don't know anything about drumming, but there is definitely something wrong with the drums on the St Anger album.

    I'd say Master is the better Metal album than Justice.

    Black album isn't metal IMO, more like hard rock, which is how I'd classify all their albums after Justice.

    the Black Album is absolutely "metal" in every sense of the word. it is just not "thrash metal" as their previous albums had been. but since they pretty much invented "thrash metal", I could it would be if that's what they called it.
