[QUOTE=Burdcheese]Black, Load and Reload were good, but I'd like to see a return to the Metallica of MOP.[/QUOTE]

black was actually very good, IMO. too much wah pedal, but i liked the songs a lot. it wasn't the old metallica but it was still pretty awesome. I really want whatever the next metallica cd is to be another MOP, RTL, or AJFA

I liked a lot of the songs on it, but for me the album as a whole never really came together properly.

I wouldn't mind a new album being like AJFA either - as long as it was well produced :p

[QUOTE=metal_milita]because ever OTHER band apart from sum41 can put up exact and awsome performances of that easy song right? they tried their hardest and they were pretty good. If you're bitching about sum41 killing MOP and FWTBT, how come you haven't mentioned limp bizkit butchering Sanitarium or Avril on Fuel?[/QUOTE]

yea dont remind me of avril but man that sum singer blew. avril's cover used to keep me up at night

I don't know why so many people complain about the Lavigne version of Fuel. The Band played it perfectly, she doesn't have too unpleasant a voice and the lyrics are far from the most important part of the song anyway.

I will however agree that I hate the voice of Sum41's singer. I'd forgotten all about it. But they did the music well.

Look Metallica Kicks All Other Bands *** easily (except IRON MAIDEN) without even the whole band for example it can be like James Hetfield Soloing Vs. All of Slipknot and yet james Will Kick their *** like nothing even happened!!!Now If it was Adrian Smith Vs. James Hetfield I would call it a tie!! you?

thats cuz slipknot isn't good. hetfield is amazing, true, but slipknot isn't good. adrian smith vs hetfield? what about hammett?

Here's my little bit on mtv icon. Sum 41, while they played the music well, his voice just doesnt match James's. Korn also played most of the music well, but they cut out my favorite part of one: the ending solo. Also, I hate their vocalist's voice. I enjoyed Staind's version of Nothing Else Matters, but they cut out half of the song including the interlude, and once again, the solo. Avril Lavienge (I dont have a clue how to spell her name) would have been good if she was a guy. Her voice just didnt fit Fuel. Limp Bizkit's performance of Sanitarium, IMO, was pretty good until Fred started to try to pump up the crowd, then it turned gay. Snoop Dogg's version of Sad But True had me in a fit of laughter for about 10 minutes, and I thank him for that. Metallica kicked a** when they played Hit the Lights, Creeping Death, Blackened, and Enter Sandman. But when they played Frantic, I just didnt like it. All things considered though, I enjoyed the whole thing, because even though the bands (and rapper) werent very good, it was all in respect for one of the greatest bands in history.

hmmm i have this version of that song with no solos. and it cuts off right before the chorus before the solo. it sounds like james tho. does anyone know what it is from???

I've heard several versions of what people think about Metallica's next album. While I wish I could believe that it would be a lot like MOP, I just dont think thats gonna happen. If you look at the direction they've been going in, they're starting to write grungeish, nu-metalish, sh*ttyish music. It sucks, but at least we have they're earlier albums.

Hmm, if it isnt from mtv icon, I dont know what it is.

I just recently heard the song "Breadfan" on the radio, and I thought it was great. Does anyone know what album it's on? I wanna check it out.

^^^ Thanks for the tripple post.

I think that Metallica's new album will be somewhat along the lines of the black album. They have had a different style for such a long time that it would probably be difficult to make something similar to MoP. I believe that I read something saying St. Anger was an attempted "return to metal". I think that Metallica will read the reviews, etc. and realize that not many people liked it and try to end on a good note with their old fans.

As to St. Anger being [QUOTE]grungeish, nu-metalish, sh*ttyish music.[/quote]...
Although to most Metallica fans St. Anger was a not-so-good album, to people more into nu-metal and similar stuff it was probably a great album. As a Metallica album it was horrible. As a nu-metal album it was was probably pretty good.

Also, I'm not a huge fan of grunge, but what was "grungeish" about it?

i havent really heard much of metallica in the way of albums... i have heard plenty of there songs and i think that they kick a$$ and i first got into them at camp when the kids in the dorm next to would play it all the time and id jus go over and hang out... now i just cant get enough... can ne one suggest a good album for me to bye?

and justice for all is really good....it got me obsessed with metallica

Buy all of them up to the black album. If you really like it then try some of their other stuff.

Suggested order...
1. Master Of Puppets
2. Ride The Lightning
3. ...And Justice For All
4. Kill 'Em All
5. Black Album

does anyone else but me find battery, damage inc, and fight fire with fire kind of annoying?

I can't stand damage inc, when they came here I heard it I was like what the hell? when did they write that? I like battery and fight fire though. Fade to black is so overkilled.

im a huge metallica fan, and when i heard they were coming out with st anger i was so excited, but it was a huge let down...maybe im old fashion

I highly doubt James Hetfield could outsolo Mick Thompson. Maybe if you said Kirk Hammett, as he's the LEAD Guitarist, then I could have let you off with that one.

very true. james hetfield isn't exactly highly skilled in soloing as mick thompson is, but kirk hammet is a sick soloist, so:
mick thompson solo > james hetfield solo
but
kirk hammet solo > mick thompson solo

That is one of the most horrible biased/thoughtless posts ever.

How the hell could you even come up with one member of the band out-soloing a whole other band? How can you even compare the two?

yeah, this is the "metallica" thread, not the "how-badly-i-think-james-hetfield-can-out-solo-slipknot" thread.

^^^ :lol:

good one

Its on Garage Inc.

I once heard Mick can't alt. pick?
Now, if that is true, and only if it's true. James does own Mick.
If not well.. James still owns Mick, I'd like to see Mick do Creeping Death (Rhythm solo and all)...

Haha, there's been a vid of Mick doing a cheesy solo aswell as a ****load of otherstuff, but I forget the site it was on. James is NOT a soloist, I can play the whole of Creeping Death, it's not really that hard.

Did you believe that???

I mean, the whole band must be stupid to accept a guitar player who can't alt pick. I hate when people exaggerate (spelling?) that much :upset:

james doesn't write fast or really skilled solos like kirk, but he writes pretty cool slower solos.

yea if he can't alt. pick a whole lot of people own him. it'd be pretty interesting tho, it just takes practice to be able to alt pick and if your gunna be a lead and/or rythym guitarist you should be able to alt pick...
