its presonal preference really,if you wanna hear metallica as they were in the old days and now the new days (confusing)i.e-fast,aggresive and with long hair steer clear, but if you wanna hear metallica getting down and dirty, not so fast but still reallly damm cool then buy them. i like the albums i think they had to try something new before the music industry got saturated with crappy bands trying to rip them off

oh and the worst metallica song has to be ronnie

[QUOTE=mariojenkins]And why the hell do people keep calling it the "some kind of monster" cd...do you realize it's in fact entitled "St. Anger"?[/QUOTE]

They're not talking about St.Anger, but the Some Kind of Monster EP which has the Some Kind of Monster single and some live performances

Oh I never even heard of that lol I thought some people were just crazy. Well now I feel like a fool.

^^^^ somebody put that wow stuuuuupid

[QUOTE=ollivubumssheep]metallicas best album to date has to be saint anger! it rocks my world. absoloutely kick-as$.

I compleatly agree.
[SIZE=3]THE FIRST FIVE ROCK[/SIZE] :thumb:

i agree that Load and Reload are a different style and i like them both but does anyone know like what kind of style it is (ex: faster, aggressive, blah...). i mean could u really explain the different style without just saying that its just "different".

just thought about that. and that blues guy is a fagg. i listen to some blues too and yes there are some pretty awesome solos but most of kirk's solos are better. IMO

how bout theres

blues
Awsome
Kirk
Awsome

like both and get over it

Metallica Rock, no doubt there, right? St Anger sucked compared to the Black Album, it was a good album but not up to par with the other albums.

i think that alot of metallica fans feel that way

what is the news,if any, on the new album?

Geez, to be honest I do not like St.Anger. And i do not understand why Metallica says it's the best album they ever make. They say it's a bigger album than the black album. And songs that totally blows and skull-crashing metal which they had never done before. I beg to differ.
1) I don't understand why they made that statement of saying St Anger would be Metallica's best album.
2) I don't understand why Kirk didn't make any solos in the Album. Solos really can define our emotions our pain adding-on to the lyrics.
3) I don't understand why they rush into an album since they've returned, why can't they make a proper album so the new generation of kids don't get misuderstood that Metallica sucks because of St.Anger.
4) The lyrics in St.Anger totally doesn't make any sense at all. Compare Fade To Black and Unforigven, it's so meaningful and could mean so much to each and every one of the fans out there.
5) Do they even know St.Anger had really cause a big disappointment to the fans? And to as far as some will hate Metallica.

I will still respect them but this are the questions i wanted to get off my chest for quite some time and i hope someone will answer them properly and reasonable.

You do not like St. Anger? I think that's a farfetched thing to say for a guy with a user name stating "Metallica Rules". As far as Kirk's not soloing, did you read the feature in Guitar World last year on St. Anger, where Kirk said they didn't fit with the songs? And the lyrics mean something personnaly to Lars, Kirk, and James.

Hmmm...maybe it's because they love music and want to PLAY music???? I'm just going out on a limb on that one. Seriously, dude, if you really think Metallica rules, you wouldn't be bashing their newest album.

i agree about the solo thing somewhat. it's still a let down. Kirk is great at soloing.

as for Metallica Rules(whichmeans theyre proly a big fan) fans have always reseved the right to bitch about thier favorite band, artist, etc.

what does he say right b4 the solo in enter sandman on S & M?

duh

[QUOTE=Mister_Che]I don't care about their hair, though it's interesting that Kirk has plugs.[/QUOTE]
huh, i did not know that.
I dont like him with his cut hair if you ask me. it's tacky

qI went to their concert last spring in Boise, Idaho...

I lost some respect for Metallica there.

1. [QUOTE] though it's interesting that Kirk has plugs. [/QUOTE]

I haven't read back much, but I'm assuming that means ear plugs. They all had ear plugs when I went.

2. They completely ****ed up on one of my personal favorite songs "Creeping Death" (I'll send anyone who wants the live track).

Don't get me wrong, I love Metallica, but I'd have to say lately I haven't been all to pleased with them.

I agree with in cold blood. Don't be bashing them anymore as i think metallica already got the message. Kirk didnt want to solo anymore becasue like cold blood said, they solos wouldn't fit into the songs very well. He was also very tired of soloing. After being on the road for years and years it kinda wears u out. i dont know if he had anything left in him to write more solos for that album (thats what my guitar teacher said anyways). I am pretty sure Metallica will do there best to please fans with their next album becuase St.Anger got a huge response :lol: , and if it's not that good im not gonna bash em cause i respect those dudes and there prolly trying their best to write better stuff. And about the hair thats the one thing metallica did wrong most, they NEVER should have cut it (i guess newstead couldnt help it lol for those fans who know what im talking about) with metal the hair isn't everything but its just an important thing for me lol.

I'm sick of redundancies...

While I'm not a big fan of Metallica, I'm a bigger fan of their more recent hard rock career. But I'm really not catching on to this whole idea that Hammet wouldn't like to solo anymore. Unless he wants to experiment just pure metal sounds free of intricate solos, he should at least try to grip a new method of soloing consistent with the new sound. Yes it's difficult, but it would prove to be a great feat for a band that wishes to inspire the new generation of fans.

I think the whole issue is "time". If Hammet spent some time making awesome solos, which he did for AJFA, then I think fans would have embraced St. Anger. But seeing as he felt the solos he came up with didn't fit with the songs, maybe he'll spend a little more time for the next record.

After what happened with St. Anger, I sure hope they step up to the plate finally and make a better album. The last awesome album they made was Metallica, so its really been a while.

Yes, I still haven't lost my hope for Metallica. But it is a bit depressing that Hammet had to make that compromise. I'm a big fan of Metallica solos.

Yeah. Well, maybe there will be a couple solos. Kirk did say he was tired of doing "Stevie Ray Vaughn solos", I think that's an obvious refrence to the solos on the Black Album, Load, and Reload.

That would be awesome.

mmm uni-boob

lets talk about somethin better than st anger.

How bout something cool or funny that happened at a metallica

mine favorite is when the roadies were settin up for metallica this really ugly stoner threw a beer on stage and three bouncers jumped him and beat the **** out of him

In a show here in Houston, Lars stormed offstage in the midle of a song because he said someone threw something at him. James told the cowd that they were here to have a good time and didn't want to mess around with anybody. Well, since there were cameras everywhere, they decided to review the tape after the show.


Turns out Lars was drumming so aggressively that he hit himself on the head with one of his drumsticks.

heh nice did you go to the one in the toyota center Che?

Most certainly did.

you see that stripper chick at the intermission or the stoner get the **** beat out of him?

both were funny as hell

i'm certain everyone in this thread has heard Fade to Bluegrass: A Bluegrass Tribute to Metallica? That has to be one of the greatest bluegrass tribute albums i've ever heard.
