well, lets be honest, this thread does get pretty moronic from time to time. Afterall it seems to be the first place most noobs hit when they sign up.

thats because metallica is the most exposed band in the metal genre, and all the discussion themes are to repetitive.

waayyy to repetitive, afterall there's really only so much to talk about.

[QUOTE=R. Blythe]Thats not possible to play a song better than the original writer, if u are playing it the way that they wrote it. The best is the way that they made it. Plus James H's vocals pwn James L's.[/QUOTE]


Ever heard Jimi Hedrix's cover of All Along The Watchtower? Not that Dylans version is bad. Jimi's is just better.

[QUOTE=Fernandes Power]Theyre taking some time out currently... but will be in the studio very soon, Im sure.

My guess is for a new album mid-2006.[/QUOTE]

They take too many vacations for a band that makes music that bad.

Common now, are you just looking for an arguement or what? :rolleyes:

I'm just stating my factual opinion.

Why couldn't they be more like Maiden? Now that's a hard working band.

I'm all for stating your opinion but don't call it factual when it's obviously biased.

[QUOTE=Dannyboy15]They take too many vacations for a band that makes music that bad.[/QUOTE]

I wouldnt go that far, but they do seem to take alot of time off.

Well, I can't blame them after some of the yours they've taken. I couldn't go 2 and a half years on the road.

Yeah.

I've been listening to St. Anger today. People were so wrong. This CD isn't that bad at all.

Hey Guys, Just thought I would update the Metallica thread with some 'NEWS AND INFO!' for your viewing pleasure :D Enjoy....

At 10:28 p.m. EST on Wednesday (March 2), the official Metallica Forum was hacked by someone declaring himself to be Habibi, reports Blabbermouth.net. The result was a lot of Metallica fans posting whatever they could to get answers. The inital response was "This is what you get for ****ing with me!" in the only forum available to post messages in, "**** You".

Check out a screenshot of the hacked page [URL=http://www.blabbermouth.net/metallica_hacked.jpg]here[/URL].

In their March interview, Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich said that the band planned to get back to the studio in January '05. He revealed that the ideas and inspiration for new songs came up from pre-show jam sessions, that being always recordered. "So there's some pretty crazy stuff that comes up every night, and I definitely look forward to shifting through some of that stuff," declared Lars. To put it mildly, January is close -- just relax and watch out for news reports on UG on the subject.

Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich has confirmed the heavy metal band will be immortalized in a computer game, reports ContactMusic.com.
Poking fun at last year's Metallica documentary "Some Kind Of Monster", Ulrich has also made it clear there will be no group therapy levels in the game. The 41-year-old says, "With the computer game, there is definitely truth to that (appearing).
"It won't just be a game where you have to get Lars and James and Kirk through the tour without breaking up, or any of that horse****."

However, Ulrich has dismissed the possibility of a Metallica greatest hits album: "As far as a hits record is concerned, that's not something we're entertaining."

One of the "Some Kind Of Monster" documentary's finest moment is when he tells James Hetfield to **** himself:

Serial killer Richard Paul White, one of Colorado's most notorious killers, recently spoke from jail about his crimes, reports Blabbermouth.net. He has confessed to six murders in the Denver area. A lifetime of untreated mental illness, heavy metal music and violent movies drove him to kill, he said, in an exclusive interview with CBS4 Denver News reporter Rick Sallinger.
Music was a big influence in his life, White said. His spree of killing was accompanied by a soundtrack of heavy metal. "Metallica probably the most," he said. A set of lyrics stand out: "Guilty as charged, but **** it, it ain't right, there's someone else controlling me." (from Metallica's "Ride The Lightning")

"Me and James lived together for four years. We lived in the same room. I'd sleep in that corner, he'd sleep in that corner and he'd have his girlfriend around in his and I'd sit there and listen to them have sex.

Q: Did you and Jaymez ever share girls??

"I can't say that hasn’t happened. You know you’ve got to remember I met him 24 years ago. He is my brother in arms."

Thanks for the news and info. I didn't really care much about the Metallica forum, cause I'm not in it. I wonder how that Metallica computer game will be.. probably really crappy. Anyways, I still haven't seen Some Kind of Monster

[QUOTE=Sliptallica]I have a video of DT playing MoP live, and I'm not gunna lie, they sounded a little better than Metallica did playing MoP live.[/QUOTE]

What nobody mentioned about DT so far is that when you see them live it's like you're looking at their picture and listening to their cd. They have no stage pressence. Imo, you can just find a picture of their concert, put it in front of you, let the cd play, and you have DT concert. Metallica guys aren't so fronzen on stage. You get the point. I mean, petrucci might play guitar part more accurate than metallica does live, but it can't be better than what is on CD. Because that's how the song is supposed to be. Plus lebrie's voice isn't comparable to hetfield since they sound so different.

And you're not dead yet? :confused:

Let me go act like an idiotic moron, post something stupid about a band in their official thread. :rolleyes:

[QUOTE=Dannyboy15]I'm just stating my factual opinion.

I forgot maiden went on tour 20 years throughout their whole music career and never took breaks and vacations. :rolleyes: How do you know they work hard? Just because you *think* they work hard, doesn't make it true. I can say metallica works hard, but it wont make it true either. They aren't video taped on camera 24/7 so we can actually see whether they're lazy or not.

[QUOTE=Sliptallica]I've been listening to St. Anger today. People were so wrong. This CD isn't that bad at all.[/QUOTE]

Yea, St. Anger is a pretty kicka[B]ss[/B] album. I just wished they would have used normal drums like in concerts. Notice how in concerts st. anger songs sound way better.

I personally dont think that is the finest moment. It wasn't that fine. :lol:

I think it will be a pretty good game myself, taken two years to make so far!, SKOM is really worth seeing, you should rent it..

There stage presence is lacking (except Portnoy was pretty energetic I noticed, but so is Lars in shows but meh) but they did sound better. LaBrie may not sound like Hetfield, buy it was still a great performance. The studio version of MoP is way better than what I think DT would do in the studio, but when you compare the lives DT is the winner IMO.

Edit: Plus, the attitude of these arguments seem to try and prove that they didn't sound enough [i]like Metallica[/i] in the song. That just isn't the point. I doubt DT set out to sound just like Metallica.

I personally thought D.T were not as clean as Metallica, Also DT do not seem to motivate the crowd, they just sing the lyrics as written...
I have the Unnamed feeling Single, that has master of puppets live with Rob Trujillo playing, I compared that (My most recent version of live MOP, with DT) Me and my G/F both prefered the tallica version... DT did an awesome job though, and they have alot of my respect for that!

I haven't heard the current live version of MoP, mine is from the early 90s so I guess I can't really comment on that. I need to get that EP. I keep meaning too.

[QUOTE=LarsAgi007]Also DT do not seem to motivate the crowd, they just sing the lyrics as written...[/QUOTE]
That's bull****.

LaBrie did add his own touch to the vocals. He didn't leave them untouched.

They did get the crowd going aswell.
Considering the crowd was smaller then what is usually at a Metallica concert, they made it huge. The crowd was going off.

[QUOTE=Chu]That's bull****.[/QUOTE]

Well bad stage presence usually does mean the crowd wont get pumped up as much. It all depends on the fans I guess.

Also I liked 2004's live version of mop at rock in rio. I dont really know if i liked it more than the original, but I do prefer it more than DT's version.

Lol, LaBries vocals sucked. Sounded like a dying horse ffs. Original>New

Although I must say, Petrucci captured Hammetts distortion just perfectly.

Good job larsagi

so yea i still haven't heard this DT album of MOP

[QUOTE=Chu]They did get the crowd going aswell.

If metallica played to a concert that size they would be 1000000 times more into it.

Go on the YSI thread someone posted Orion, Leper Messiah, and Battery.

I have it. Its a live album in Barcelona playing all the MoP songs. Its pretty good.
