Metallica

Saying arguing against the government censoring music is the same as arguing against downloading is very disingenuous. You might see them both as "keeping the music the way it was" but censoring music restricts creativity and inhibits musicians whereas downloading levels the playing field between underground and mainstream acts. It also makes exploring music accessible to all facets of society as opposed to the ones with more wealth. I don't really see how you can compare the two. All Lars did was the lay the foundation for the RIAA's war against the modern music fan.
 
No, it's called an opinion and I never said they sucked, I just said I didn't like them. I think Lars is pretty cool, so what? What does that have to do with anything? I can't think a meraber is cool? Wow. I don't look down on anyone who likes them. I clearly said my dad was a fan but I just couldn't get into them.

Lame argument was lame.


See how that works?

"Fade to Black" is one I'd put in the barely passable category. The lyrics aren't horrible but pretty much all the rhymes are really weak. The Big3 quote that I have in my signature definitely applies.
 
Hmm I like S@M just because I am a classical nerd, but there is certain songs like "The Thing That Should Not Be" that sound better with the orchestra, and songs like "Master of Puppets" that could have been left alone. I also like all of Metallica's studio albums. Saw them live at Van Andel Arena in Grand RapiRAB Michigan... was the best night ever! lol.
 
The Black Album is a tight record. It was also a huge shift in sound from the four albums that came before it. BanRAB changing their sound is not a bad thing, its just going to alienate a lot of their fan base. The Black Album is a great record, i just dont think its a great metal record. Load is decent in places but a little mediocre, Reload again has a few tracks on it I like but very middle of the road.

I much prefer Metallica's 80's stuff and I don't just say that to conform or to "be cool", I just think Metallica made music to give a crap about in the 80's and then it all got a little too bland, even though it wasnt completely without some plus points.

I do understand what you said to a degree though, I can imagine a lot of people will tell you 80's Tallica stuff is where its at before they have even formed their own opinion of their 90's stuff. And they will say that because thats what everyone else says.
 
Going to see them tonight actually with Machine Head and The Sword. It will be my first Metallica gig with a roof over my head and I cant ****ing wait to see The Sword.
 
Just for the record, I (also) like 80s Metallica and up to and including The Black Album .. I'm not very familiar with the stuff that came after, though, except for what you hear on the radio.
