I don't think it being well-recieved bothers them entirely. Obviously I think the fact that it dissapointed so fans did upset them but 'Tallica have pretty much always done what they want. And if they involves continuing down the St. Anger vein then I imagine that's what they will do.

Re-learning the old songs must have inspired some old school riffs, and i'm pretty sure Rob will come up with some heavy stuff

Rob didn't say anything about solos in that statement. Bad omen.

Not necessarily - guitar solos aren't Rob's area.
I'm sure Kirk will make sure they're included this time.

Rob didnt mention vocals or drums, omg that means theres no drums or vocals on the new album.

Wow, your sarcasm really failed to work there. You should try and improve on that.

if it failed to work then how did you know it was sarcasm?

Sarcasm's point is to be funny, not to be able to be recognized ;)

Get out. We don't want your type here.

Kirk said there were no solos because HE felt they didnt fit the music

Holy 1000th post Batman!

I think he was probably right - St. Anger had its flow even if it was repetitive in the extreme.

I'm sure that's debatable :p

[QUOTE=DisposableHeroes]Kirk said there were no solos because HE felt they didnt fit the music[/QUOTE]


Didn't he say in the documentary film that he wanted solos so that he wouldn't be cropped with al the other bands out now? I never actually saw the film, but I did hear that quote.

i just hope Lars doesnt use sauce pans for drums

[QUOTE=Otherside]Didn't he say in the documentary film that he wanted solos so that he wouldn't be cropped with al the other bands out now? I never actually saw the film, but I did hear that quote.[/QUOTE]

No, it was Lars saying there shouldn't be any because they were a fad that had passed.

Shame on him :amaze:

its in an interview i have in an issue of Kerrap!, the fans ask them questions. One of them was "how come there are no solos on the album?" He answered that he felt it didnt fit the music, then added if some one asked that one more time he would scream :p

:upset: I say get rid of him :\


[QUOTE]I'm sure that's debatable[/QUOTE]

True, but would you really want to waste time on it? Nah.

[QUOTE=Otherside]Sarcasm's point is to be funny, not to be able to be recognized ;)[/QUOTE]

Nice cover.

[QUOTE]Kerrap!, [/QUOTE]

Haha, nice.

[QUOTE=Otherside]:upset: I say get rid of him :\

But who would you replace him with?

There are certainly "better" drummers out there, but are they [I]Metallica[/I]?

hmmm, i wonder if they will open with a song off the new album when they tour it, or wether they'll alternate between Battery and Blackened. I sincerely hope the latter

Is Metallica Metallica anymore?

Lars is a massive part of their songwriting, they need him.

He's been with them like, 20 years, he cant leave.

ot: btw - what happened to the Pikachu avatar squirrel?

Don't they usually open with those two songs (and "Hit The Lights")?

[QUOTE=Otherside]Is Metallica Metallica anymore?[/QUOTE]
Who can say? Every album sounds different

InIceColdBlood: Hit The Lights is used as an encore sometimes

[QUOTE=DisposableHeroes]Who can say? Every album sounds different[/QUOTE]



Exactly.

[QUOTE=Burdcheese]ot: btw - what happened to the Pikachu avatar squirrel?[/QUOTE]

I formatted my pc and lost the pic :(

Then could never be bothered searching for a new one :p
