Metallica has free live shows on their vault section. Shows range from the past 20 years! Now if a band we all love just picked up on the VAULT concept.....
Lars may be a jag, but they are almost as good to their fans as PJ is.

I still say that One and Fade to Black are two of the finest written Metal/Rock songs ever.
Agreed. Especially with regard to 'Fade to black' Metallica are such a different band to pearl jam. All their songs have always seemed like orchestrated and over rehearsed compositions to me (nothing else matters) which is so unlike pearl jam who i think are essentially a punk band (green disease)
That's just two examples.
I have a feeling that Metallica's next album is going to be strong as ever. They are one of the few bands remaining that have the potential to create hard-hitting masterpieces that can be loved by diehard fans and casual rock listeners alike. I am going to give them one more chance; one ass-kicking single/album is all it will take for them to convert those who jumped off the Metallica bandwagon after St. Anger.
tell that to the ones they prosecuted and jailed for downloading music.
the vocals are the worst Ive ever heard for a band thats so popular
They can't do that anymore, it's been years since they could.
And if they were good to their fans, they would put out decent music
sorry, I couldn't resist... It is coot that they put live shows up to download for free.

...and in regards to having more fans now than before, what did you expect?
Metallica peaked 15-20 years ago, they just happened to be the biggest heavy metal band. Now they´re maybe not the biggest but they still have a bigger fan base than deftones
wow, thanks for referring me to this. free high quality downloads? from Metallica? maybe they're just trying to apologize to their fans for being assholes about the Napster thing and making them look bad (imagine if PJ did that to us!).
I really like the Nurnberg, Germany show. here's the site since no link has been posted: http://www.livemetallica.com/catalog.aspx?doVault=1

I really hope they someday get credit for standing up to Napster and being on the forefront of speaking out against internet piracy. It's really taking its toll on the record industry...someone needs to get innovative quick.
I disagree....I saw them both together back in the 90's playing their full sets. Metallica blew the 55,000 @ RFK Stadium and blew GNR away too.
I'll remember when they played "Harvester Of Sorrow" and everyone went headbanging crazy, it looked like 50,000 mop heads the rest were getting food and beer.:D

slayer no. megadeth yes. i think megadeth caught on better than metallica, and as it stands i'd much rather see megadeth live now than metallica. metallica's first 5 albums were fantastic. and no doubt they will stand the tests of time. load was veryy ehhh, if that. re-load was 80% garbage, garage inc.'s old tunes were great, the new stuff was mostly shit. some was good though. still...not metallica standards. st. anger was the biggest disgrace of music i have ever put my money towards. terrible production, terrible vocals, terrible lyrics, terrible attitude, and just terrible music. after the black album, metallica went waaaaay down the drain. now, though "and justice..", and "master" may be better than ANY megadeth album, i do not think there is one bad megadeth album. risk was pushing it, but still not as bad as load, re-load, garage inc, or st. anger. megadeth have stayed consistant throughout, and only have been getting better. and much of the reason i think is because they do the whole catchy/heavy thing BRILLIANTLY. does st. anger have that? no. does load or re-load? no.

GnR was fucking bloated and out of it on that tour but they were still more popular than Metallica. Remember that Metallica went on first at all those shows. I've seen Metallica and Axl's new GnR over the last few years and Axl's guns blow Metallica away. All the crazy fucker has to do is release an album, which of course is a big if!!
