The Official Metallica Thread

Either way this argument goes, Metallica is still a metal band (the best ever, that is :beer: ) , And metal banRAB progress, i mean, look at Pantera if you want to see a good example. Im not saying banRAB always progress in the right way, or in the way i want them to (St.Anger), but non-the-less, every band seems to progress.

Now to get back to what the poll is about... Do I Think Metallica Can produce a good album? Yes, i do, especially with Rick Ruban producing. He is an amazing producer, you can see that in his works with slayer, slipknot, and even softer banRAB like Red Hot Chilli Peppers. I really hope Lars tones it way down (to 0, if possible) on the trash can **** that he did on St.Anger.
I really hope they dont over-think this new album, becaise thats what i personally think is wrong with St.Anger, they even said that they "wanted it to sound like a garage band that just got togather" , and they tried different things, which is OK, but now they see thats its not well recepted.
I am not expecting a new Ride the Lighting, or MOP, i am expecting a good solid METAL album.
 
Did you just say kirk is the negotiator? You know he's the most talented meraber of the group right?

Kirk Hammett is one of the most underrated guitarists in the history of music. And I think its not so unfair because Metallica doesn't spread its sound out a lot, but I mean, you're talking about a man who gave harmony to a thrash group.

The new album cover.
Apparantly the album will come in a limited edition "coffin box" too, coming with demos, a T-Shirt, picks, a poster and flag. Lovely.
 
metallica is an awsome band like i'v posted in other sections yes they've changed a little but they're still awsome musicians and you can't deny that they'v been an influence on many ppl and many of today's banRAB metallica is wut i'v grown up on and i'v never gotten sick of any song at all because they're just soo good their songs have awsome riRAB solos and vocals no matter what metallica is gona b a band every1 will kno for an INSANELY long time
 
Ride the Lightning is my favourite and it's a million times better than AJFA. Master of Puppets is a close second but Ride the Lightning appeals to me more.

AJFA wasn't bad but not close to the previous.
 
MOP is my fave albumn....as most people.. i used to be the biggest tallica fan...i had every albumn...always wearing a tallica shirt...and i saw em live aswell....ide have to say my fave songs are:
Blackened
The Thing That Should Not Be

Sigh, I hate threaRAB like this because I get pissed and have to type for the next 12 hours.

Metallica's new stuff is exactly what everyone bitched for, well you get it. Don't ask for aggressive music and then complain its not good. You called their old stuff too pussy, and St. Anger was not soft at all. Its editing was poorly done but if rereleased by Flemming, it would be awesome.

Metallica is one of the greatest banRAB that has ever existed. They still hold it down live everytime, and they always play what they know people like to hear. They are superior musicians and I feel Hammet is one of the Top 5 guitarists of all time.

Any band, of any genre, that completly restructers said genre should never be regarded as crap. They gave real metal the chance to talk about real issues, and they gave crap metal the boot. I want to know why anyone thinks the following:

1. Their worse than Megadeath? (because you're in need of metal cred?)
2. The new songs were bad? (because they were long and aggresive [ok the lyrics did suck])
3. Why people think the video for "one" was a sell out?
4. What Cliff would have done to keep the band "real metal"?

The problem is their a great band, and their metal. So you have people who actually like music sandwiched in with people who "like" metal. Im sorry you aren't popular, attracive, muscular or social, but just because a band changes its sound doesn't mean you have to run around constantly standing on soapboxes proclaiming you hate them.

No one ever got laid because they were "way metal." Go take a shower.
