[QUOTE=Butcher]I thought my friend was insane for flying to New York to see DT.

How much is something like that going to cost? And try to get pictures to post.[/QUOTE]
I think 6k but were not JUST going to Wacken.

[QUOTE=Joe]Oooh so expensive!

[/QUOTE]
I know it's cheap, I'm showing off my superiority :p

Or something.

back on the subject of the new album, i think the major improvement from st. anger is that they need some decent solos. and they should get their old sound back. that distortion just didn't do it for me. And although Lars'
"oil-drum" effect on his snare sounded good, it doesn't suit the band.

I thought the drumming was the worst part of St. Anger. It sounded like he was banging on pots & pans like little kids do. Come to think of it, Lars acts like one.

They need to do everything they didn't on St. Anger to make a decent album.

Yes they need to bring back solos but, they first need tasty riffs.

I agree about the riffs. I can go without solos if the riffs are good.

St Anger wasnt without some tasty riffage.

Nothing to rival Dark Tranquility, Carcass, Decapitated, MoP, Slayer etc but they were still decent riffs.

Carcass \m/

If you're talking about Necroticism, that is ;)

You know how many times this has been said?

That is applicable 99% of the discussion here though.

Their whole career :)

Thier first 3 albums >>>>> later work

But their entire career had some great riffs.

Nice user title too ;)

check my number of posts. what do you think?

i liked the riffs. they were simple without being a repetition other band's riffs. Sweet Amber, for example. that riff owns.

??? how?

[QUOTE=Chu]No one :p

Edit: I found [url=http://user.tninet.se/~bmm117l/metallica/links.html]this[/url], but I didn't look at anything on the page, if someone wants to (:p), they can, and if they find anywhere to download their demos.. Share it with the thread :D[/QUOTE]

whats that link about?

I think the riffs were the part that made St. Anger listenable. The thing that still gets me is the guitar tone (I didn't like it for some reason) and obviously terrible drum production.

Does anyone have that website where that guy rerecorded ...AJFA with the bass audible?

Well the drumming is really tingy in StAnger. And Lars gets annoyed really quickly with the rest of the band for the most [I]stupidest[/I] things, like James being on his drumkit for too long. I dislike Lars......

Sometimes Lars has some smart, true, things to say, and he says them well. The whole rant about Mustaine that I've seen in several magazines lately is well said, and I agree with it.

[QUOTE=Apocalyptic Raids]Agreed :cool:

heh, thanks man. Not only a good band but they appear to live ... 'near' you :p

Obituary - nice choice :thumb:

i agree entirely. i dont dislike any of them, and ive seen plenty of stuff about them.

I tend to think most people who bag on Lars r either jealous, or obviously have no idea whats its liek to be a smart person and play music. He actually discusses things at length. I'm not sayin ur one of those people...but I think a lot of people who criticize him r one of the above or just total AAAholes themselves. I think hes great, he keeps metal interesting w/out bein totally political or anit-war and what not. ROCK ON!!!!!!!

.....



Lars has a funny accent and he always says things in a melodramatic way, it's hilarious.

yea, lol. lars owns. he's really funny the way he acts sometimes, and he says some meaningful stuff alot of the time.

Everytime he says something I always expect a "Di[size=2]c[/size]kweed" at the end of it.

The drumming on St. Anger was alot better than on couple of other albums they had. I just didn't dig the whole can snare drum sound, even though sometimes it sounds good, and sometimes it's annoying as hell.

It was nice to see him speeding up the drumming a little on St. Anger. Lars drumming on a lot of the Black album and Load/ReLoad is terribly boring.

Maybe if it was well produced, the drums would've sounded much better.

OMG that's the worst post I've seen in this thread in a long time...then again I'm not in here a whole lot anymore...hmm.

So the topic seems to be once again the one and only Lars Ulrich and his drumming. I have to say I really like the drums on St.Anger, But my all time favorite Metallica album (for drums) would have to be AJFA.

No, I state the truth.

This kid is a moron. He is a complete tool, and is an Ulrich fanboy. He parades around saying that Metallica is the best because they've sold a bunch of records..

I agree

I was just saying that he made one of the worst post I've ever seen in here. Everything from his grammer to how he presented his opinion...and the opinion for that matter. Not that I'm good at things like Grammer and sentence structure...but still. Try and cut down on all the "w/out" and all the "R"'s

That's what I was getting at
