Is there an official Godsmack thread??

No, and there won't be one either.

[QUOTE=leppermessiah]ya there definitely need to be some decent solos on the new album. I dunno, i kinda hope they throw in a power ballad or two.[/QUOTE]

I'm sure it will all depend on what's "In" at the time it will be made seeing as how arse and bob rock didn't think solos were "in" when they made stanger. I think it's hard denying that Metallica are among the bands that have gone farthest from their roots and sold out the biggest to their believes.

Pffftt... :rolleyes:

that was awhile ago

[QUOTE=munky_magik]:eek: Squirrel lost his top spot[/QUOTE]

to yours truly :thumb:

I think that the lack of decent solos is what really killed St. Anger. They
stopped doing cool **** like in Puppetz and took on a more Nu Metal
approach. (As in no solos).

progressive rock is taking over thats wat bob rock did to em

I know that bob rock has done a lot for the band, but I feel he is
taking them in a bad direction. Maybe a new producer is in order.
(Like the guy who was with slayer, acdc, and more recently slipknot)
While some may not like these bands, he brought out their full potential
(I'll +rep whoever remembers his name as I am currently suffering from
CRS)

Rick Rubin.

i totally agree w/u lightningmetal but have u seen their new doc. some kind o monster? they love that guy they personally asked him to produce and even play bass on st anger lets face it theyre older, married, theyre parents, and theyre entering new metal music i hate it but its the truth

Exactly. Their music will never be as good as it was. Not a one of them can play their instruments like they used to. They are all good friends with Bob and they like him, so they won't fire him. Hopefully this album will be better, like we all have been saying

Thank god Bob won't be doing bass again. I hope Rob has a HUGE influence on this album, for basslines at least.

They didnt have a bassist... he can play bass... hence the whole bass player position...

ya and unfortunately, or i atleast have not heard, there will probly never be another band like them they were the def. of speed metal hammet could play till his fingers fell off and they just rocked hard at least we know theyll go down in history as one of the greatest of all time

I have seen trailers of it. I know for a fact that they just looooooooove
bob rock, but do you think they can endure another bad album?
After saint anger many metallica fans are now leary of their favorite
band. His bass lines are terrible, and the band being unable to stand
one another doesn't help. From what I've seen, bob hasn't tried once
to help the band get along (though I may be wrong).
Also what's up with the band going to therepy. Most bands that
I know of (pro or amateur) deal with **** one of 2 ways:
1. Box
2. Fire people

Beings that no one wants to see anyone get fired from the band,
then lars and james got to find some boxing gloves :p

Marty Friedman and Chris Poland can both run circles around Hammett. Metallica wasn't the definition of thrash.

I love them and all, but fanboyism is stupid. You can't say that Metallica were/was/is the definition of thrash/speed, because there's many bands out there, tons underground, that can run circles around them.

The greatest? Hell no. One of the greatest? Definitely. Top 10? Maybe.

I'd really like to say that, but I can't admit that to being true. There are plenty of guitarists coming out that are good, if not better, than Kirk Hammett.

But to your other point, I don't think there will ever be a better band

they got therapy because james and lars were too egomaniacal and kirk is just goin along w/ it, even though the album hit 1 on the charts fans are gonna get really pissy if they dont straighten up their act, u should get the doc. anyway its good and there are some funny parts in there too

edit:vashts

ya but they sold over 90 million albums tell me one more of those metal bands ur talkin about that has done that

Albums sold does not mean they're the greatest Metal band ever. Led Zeppelin have sold how many albums? That doesn't mean they're the best Rock band ever.

How good a band is is [B]entirely[/B] subjective to the said person's opinion.
How enjoyable something is is a matter of opinion, where as things such as success etc...are fact.
it's useful to be able to distinguish between the two.

I agree with vashts80. Chris is the s**t and I would love to study
w/ him one day. (Even though he is a jazz player at heart and I don't play jazz). Hammett is a phenomenal player but as vashts80 stated there are
other great thrash guitarist that could give him a run for his money.
(Dave Mustaine for one :naughty: ).
