I dunno 'bout u guys but i'd reeeeally like to hear some new ballady metal on their new album. Seems to me as tho they really ignored their success with other metal ballads i.e. NEM and the Unforgiven pt. 1 and 2 on St. Anger. Hey I figure they're already as mainstream as they can get, why try to go back now?..

sorry bout the double-post..i really should preview my post before hand...ooops

Just edit your post.

[QUOTE=JACKROXYOU]But that song sucks[/QUOTE]
I really like that song.


[QUOTE]Wasnt it originally a country/americana song?[/QUOTE]
It originally came from Ireland, it used to be sang in pubs an awful lot.

i was watching Reading 2003 highlights, they totally ruined Blackened, and infact, almost all of their songs.

they sucked up there.

Metallica have lost so much since the early records. St. Anger was pretty terrible, although the rest of the newer albums are pretty good (different style than the likes of Master of Puppets and Ride The Lightning, but still good). They're missing the incredible pace and thrashy style (Battery, Master of Puppets, Fight Fire With Fire, Hit The Lights to name a few are good examples of what I'm getting at). About the closest thing to thrash thats post-black album/self titled is Fuel (which, don't get me wrong, is a good song). Anyways, nuff of my ranting bollocks.

To clear up something, Whiskey In The Jar is a cover of the Thin Lizzy song.

One last thing: Bring back the solo's!!!!!!!! I demand to hear more Hammet.

You guys need to relax. Mama Said is an awesome song. It's not just a simple kill/fvck/smash everyone song. It is deeper. Maybe that's the reason most of you don't understand that song.

Some people here need to grow up :upset:

I liked Mama Said, the fact of the matter is that Metallica is no longer a thrash band, even though everyone wants them to be. Finally, they are one of the best metal bands out there, will continue to change, and this is a perfect example

I don't really mind what kind of thing their new stuff's is as long as:[list]Its well produced[/list][list]There are guitar solos[/list][list]It sounds awesome live.[/list]

my word, all you people are rather obsessed by these solo thingies aren't you?

Well... [size=4]yes[/size]

There's no need to make it sound so obvious

As long as metallica is an awsome live band I don´t really care if their newer albums suck. Unless the stops to play the old goodies!!
Where´s the guitar solos on St Anger??
WE WANT HAMMET!!

it's just your last post made it sound as though it was obvious that you all like solos.

plot? What plot????;)

Thank u guys sooo much for bringing up the lack of solos on St. Anger! It was so empty without Kirk's guitar solos--sounded more like Korn or some crap like that.

First of all, solos on some of the tracks off St. Anger wouldn't really fit IMHO. I don't mind the lack of solos so much but I hope that on the next record we'll have a ballad and/or an instrumental. The thing is all previous instrumentals had something to do with Cliff, they were either (co-)written by him or in his memory so I think asking for an instrumental is far-fetched (let's not forget their refusal to make My Friend Of Misery one), but at least a ballad to see if they still got it.

i think a return to the thrash metal that they helped create would be a huge come back, it would definately make up for st anger.

I kinda wish they'd release the "Elevator version" of NEM on an album. Some may think it's corny to kind of re-release a song, but i'd really like to have that version on an album.

I think St. Anger WAS an attempted return to thrash metal that failed miserably.

Interesting thought...If Metallica go back to Thrash people will probaly say they sold out. If they continue along their present course people will still say they sold out

Actually, only the posers would say they've sold out if they return to thrash.

Just saw this thread...Today in Liverpool, I bought a sweet shirt With Metallica on it...They were in Cartoon Form...Rocking out with the ONE AND ONLY SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS AND PATRICK THE STARFISH...thought id tell you...

How can they sell out if they return to thrash? It makes no sense :confused: I can't see them returning to thrash with their new album. I think they'll have the same kinda sound as they had in the late 90's (ie. No Leaf Clover, Minus Human, I Disappear).
