[QUOTE=munky_magik]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.[/QUOTE]

Ok fine, I think in overall talent and chemistry, Metallica was one of the greatest bands ever.

Talent, not really. There are so many bands that are more talented than them.

[QUOTE=gocaps99]Ok fine, I think in overall talent and chemistry, Metallica was one of the greatest bands ever.[/QUOTE]
Their talent is unquestionable, but their chemistry? Lars and James
have never, ever, EVER been able to get along for very long.
I find that when things go well they go really well but
when bad things happen, crap hits the fan. There is no denying
that they are one of the greatest bands ever, but their chemistry
is confusing at best. :confused:

[QUOTE=Fernandes Power]They didnt have a bassist... he can play bass... hence the whole bass player position...[/QUOTE]
I know of people who have been playing bass for less than a year that are better than him. This was an example of a band trying to rush an album.
If they had been patient they would have found a better bassist at
that point in time. If they already had lines set up, and just asked
bob to play them, then I wouldn't b**ch as much, but the sad truth is
they wanted him to write all the bass parts himself. Who know's maybe
if they had waited, they would have gotten rob, and had HIM write the lines
(which he does very well) maybe the album would have been better.

it was just their egos that got in the way of makin succesful music i mean st anger sucked, maybe they havent resolved everything

eh theyu just put out a bad one

they just missed the target

i think rob has something to do with that but the real fact is they were and are entering a time period where, as i have stated before, progressive rock/metal rules, and bob,over the years kept pushing and pushing them until they broke from thrash metal, what they need to do on the next album is take more time on a song, the lyrics werent all that good with st anger (the song) exception

[QUOTE=metal guitar]James and Lars not getting along kinda helped I think. They used to push each other to write better music.[/QUOTE]
That's absolutely true metal guitar, they pushed each other quite well.
But how long do you think they can withstand the bull**** before
that becomes counterproductive? How can a band write great songs
when they don't even want to be in the same room as each other?
That whole thought defeats the purpose of a band.

which is another big reason why they took group therapy, they didnt want to play w/each other and that was a huge conflict for years

the whole reason behind no solos comes out in the doc. too its crap

My whole worry is that they can't/won't put differences aside
when they're in the studio. Ego trips have got to end if
this new album is going to be successful. Look at it this way
when Cliff ran the band, things were overall great. Then James
ran the band. Things were alright but not great. Now Lars wants leadership
and things are going sour. Popularity with Lars among fans is already
on thin ice as far as his crap w/ napster.

I want the doc. but I keep getting insufficient funds every
time I swipe my ATM card. :p :thumb:

lars is a complete d*** when it comes to napster, james gets really emotional about alot of s***, and kirk just sits back and watches his band screw up, will they get their differences resolved? who knows, although i am anticipating a new album

that sucks sorry lightingmetal

I feel so sorry for Kirk. He is going through so much s*** trying to keep the
band together. His situation reminds me of a kid having to listen to parents
who never get along, but stay together because they don't believe in
seperation. Kirk deserves better than that.

theres like 8 people here without avatars and something annoying about it

[QUOTE=JACKROXYOU]the pics under your name[/QUOTE]
How is not having a pic under my name annoying?
Maybe I'm trying to be rebellious and not have one :p

I don't need no stinking avatars. Anyways, if you could

Mine's Call of The Ktulu, Fight Fire With Fire, and Blackened
