Metallica Sucks

cliff burton dying is why metallica fell apart. and they dont suck. theyre different. Their first four albums were metal and, their past four (not counting garage inc because they didnt do any writing) have been rock. lars said that when cliff died they lost their soul. he knew the most music theory and what everyone else knew they pretty much learned from him. as a bassist i really doubt he did most of the writing he did something more important he arranged it. the music metallica is making isnt bad it's just not put in the best order. no band can possibly expected to be the same after they lose a musician as great as cliff.
 
This is what I meant by insular, While I like half the songs on K'mA, its universally not regarded as their best work. Their songs were about driving fast cars and going out and looking for fights. Im sure this is me being elitist again but thats the mentality of a 15 year old. "Yeah man, lets just play fast and talk about cars and fighting people", ****, if they threw it songs about women they'd have been Motley Crue. As I said, I like the album, but I think your opinion of it is influenced by its rudementry thrash and its all inclusive metal accent (or dialect, Crowe which is it).
 
Enter Sandman, Sad But True, Nothing Else Matters and The Unforgiven are good songs. It is a cool album and it does stand out on it's own, it's just poor compared to Tallica's previous work IMO.
It's perhaps underrated by fans, but in general,I thought it was held to be Metallica's most mainstream album.
 
lol I've never even heard it, but I have some early bootleg of the band with McGovney and Mustaine. It's pretty hard to judge as the sound quality is horrible.
 
Actually Cliff did a lot of the writing, especially on MOP. But if Cliff had still been around then I doubt 'tallica would have worked with Bob Rock, who as a producer had a negative effect on their music. Fortunately they aren't having him on the next album.
 
1. Both Dave and James play rhythm better than Kirk.

2. Dave is better from a technical point of view, both arent super impressive when it comes to their solos, they rely too much on pentatonics, but its easy to say that Kirk is the better soloist.

3. If you want to bring something as irelivent as emotion until this then how would you measure feeling in someones playing?... By what notes they choose to play?... Theres no objective way to measure what sounRAB good because everyone has a different opinion of what sounRAB good.
 
Metal Fans have to be the most insular isolated people in all of musicdom. I think sometimes their worse than punk kiRAB in that they like whatever is more culturally "metal". Call me when anyone outside of metal give a **** about Iced Earth. And Mustaine is a cut rate [insert meraber of Metallica] and always will be because he's not doing his own thing, he's just chasing them trying to outsell them.

Even your beloved Kerry King said, after Mustaine saying he wanted to 'unite the metal community', "I just don't think he's the guy for the job, not after that last album (which was risk), Im all for joining up the metal community but right now, I think Metallica would be a better option, and that says alot."

Theres a reason for him saying that, its because Dave is, and always has been a whiney punk.
 
Kirk admittedly didn't write any of his solos untill the black album. MEGADETH was not based solely on rhythm or lead, but the corabo of both. Dave excells in both fielRAB and all guitarists who have worked with him say he is amazing. Kirk is an excellent lead player as well, but seeing as he didn't even write his best solos, he can't hold a candle to Mustaine, who write nearly 100% of Megadeth.
 
Kerry King also said that Mustaine is one of the best guitarists hes ever seen. And you talk about metal people being isolated, well how is this our fault? How can you blame metal heaRAB that no one knows Iced Earth. The fault lays with American radio and culture. Blind Guardian and Iced Earth have never made it past the top 100 here in America, but always reach #1 in Europe. And BG's single of A Night of the Opera which is 11 minutes long, was at one point the most played song in Germany.
