Metallica

Klumpie

After Rock am Ring last saturday, I'm confident that they will make a pretty good album. I think it was one of their best shows in the last 15 years. They sounded so good, I was really suprised. Also they played the whole Master of Puppets album, because of the 20 year anniversary of this album.

Next thursday I'm going to see the guys in the Gelredome. I hope they will put up a show like last saturday and I hope they play the Whole Master of Puppets album here.

I hope Rick Rubin will bring back the old-school sound with Metallica and that Metallica will suprise with a Metal Up You're Ass album.

Here is a clip (Alice In Chains with James Hetfield - Would? at RAR)

I'm optimistic that the new album will be great, especially because of Rubin's influence...but I would never judge it based on the quality of a show. I've seen Metallica several times over the years, including the 1996 Motherload tour and most recently on the St. Anger tour a couple of years ago...both shows were absolutely incredible, which is more than I can say for any of the albums released during that stretch.

Next thursday is my first show, but I've seen alot of shows on the internet. But the show at Rock Am Ring was really incredible. Even the Metallica fans agree with it.

Also last sunday they played the whole Master of Puppets album at Rock Im Park.

You guys are fooling yourselves with hopes of them making another album similar to Puppets or even And Justice For All... For that matter. They have changed period. Changed as people, changed as musicians. This is where they are now. They still put on great shows, their albums may not be up to par with their live perfomances, but I think people have been a little too hard on them over the past decade or so. To count how many bands they've influenced would boggle one's mind.

Brisk.

well, i'll be seeing em next sat at download with aic and tool!

Yep, they have changed back to Metal. St.Anger was a worse metal album. But now I hope they come back with a good metal album. The guys seems to be in good shape, so why I will not have high expectations?

'TallicA have always been a superb live band so I'm not surprised to read all these great reviews.
I hope with Rick Rubin they try something new..not go back to any roots or whatever.

Yep.

Its seems like its the cool thing to do these days...hate on Metallica. But whatever, people can say what they want. Their still one of the greatest bands of all time. Ah well...


That video with James and AIC is fucking unreal. I loved it.

Señor Bo

IMHO, they've been untouchable live since James sobered up and Robert joined, they're just on fire and the setlists they've been playing have been amazing. Rick Rubin's metal work has always been unbelievably good, and if you saw "Some Kind of Monster" you've seen that Bob Rock just was not cutting it as a producer, hopefully Rubin can get them in shape to make a great album, but if not, we'll always have the live show.

EDIT: Ladies and gentlemen, ORION!!!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgLumbvTyDA

I didn't hate St. Anger, but I rarely listen to it. That being said, I have a good feeling about the new one.

Looks like James has the same beard as Kerry King, now hopefully he'll make the same type of music as him.

BTW- Who is AIC using as a singer for their shows now? Is it different people depending on the song, or one person for all of them>

The main stand in guy, whatever you want to call him, is William Duvall, lead singer with Comes with the Fall. Apparently they have "special" treats in store for European fans though, so who knows :cool:

Metallica played a new song on the Berlin show of tonight. It's a 8 minute song with double-bass, so this is very intresting. No details further.

prytocorduroy

I love Metallica a lot. Though I like their older albums better, I do also like their new stuff. They're no different than Pearl Jam in the sense that they experiment with albums, some turn out better than others. Metallica is cool in my book, except Lars, he needs a fuckin' ass whoopin'!

metallica after 92 sucks

ryantremor

I have never understood why so many people hate metallica. I don't know if its the whole napster thing or what. In my opinion, Load is a fantastic album. If metallica had the same fast, heavy sound on all their albums people would rip on them for that too. They can't win. Reload and St. Anger were, admitedly, not great but they weren't as bad as people say they were either. All that being said, I am definetly looking forward to the new album.

thanks alot man

Scratchin a Letter

Will be seeing them for the thirde time on Saturday, personally I think their set has become weaker through the years, St Anger was ok but tbh I was really disappointed with the lack of creativity and of course GUITAR SOLOS!
Still, they wipe the floor with a lot of todays metal bands

stonesgstring

At least they still play proper metal and not the emo metal of today. I don't even know if that's a genre, but I liked it

klumpie and axl, you guys have made my day...with "new song" and "cult"

thanks for posting these!

i think "new song" has a justice / black album feeling to it, and it's definitely good to hear that hammett solo - smokin'! this has me anxious to hear the new album big time!

lars and rob are sounding great together too...very tight and solid groove, especially towards the end...

METALLICA!

AxlUlrich

yeh i agree mookie..this new song has the black album feel to it..so far im not too much a fan of it but it's hard to judge too til i hear a studio version.
but i like the intro and the solo is classic Kirk! James is sounding good..I felt his vocals were alittle bad on St Anger and the "Madly in Anger" tour

Blue11

that's awesome....the whole freakin album....man...wish I was at that show.

I am really looking forward to their new album. I like St. Anger...there's a lot of really good tunes on that album

true enough...we'll be able to tell a lot better with a studio version. this little taste has me excited though...especially the classic kirk you mentioned! you haven't lived until you've seen him do the old solos live, eh?

Very few of us liked that album. But yay another fan of it!
