LaBrie's vocals aren't great, but they're not horrible either.
They don't add anything to it, but that's fine in my opinion. (Except the "Speak to me!!" and then solo, I reckon LaBrie does better then James there).

And they get the whole **** crowd going, it's not a huge crowd like a Metallica concert would bring in, but they get going like it is.

Aren't the lyrics to the "Speak To Me!!" part "Fix me!"?

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:

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]

Don't you think taking 5 years to make an album like St. Anger is a bit rediculous?

Plus, Maiden unlike Metallica never changed their music at an attempt to make more money, regardless of what James might say.

Oh I know, and they had no problems or interruptions along the way or anything! Man, those guys are slow.

Edit:

And you know what, I'm getting a little ticked about how much this sell out crap is being brought up. If you were offered an opportunity to make a grossly large ammount of money, and make different but good music, you'd probably take it. Maybe you wouldn't. Great, you're a fecking hero, but that doesn't mean doing such a thing is horrible. Making money is how we live in this world, why not make more?

Albums are different, bands change. The whole music industry is driven by greed. I mean come on St. Anger is a lot better than a lot that other bullsh*t that infests the radio now. St. Anger has it's moments, but hey that reminds me, maybe I need to listen to it again.

EDIT: Sliptallica, you are thinking along the same lines as me.

You should, St. Anger is a good album no matter what some people say.

It's always been a known fact that Metallica changed alot between ...And Justice for All. Everyone knows that. That doesn't mean the music sucks. All of their albums are great. Also, S&M is one of the best live albums I have ever heard, if not the best.

Sliptallica speaks the truth.
They sold out, **** happens, you would too, and don't anyone try and say you wouldn't.

But yeah, the lyrics are "Speak to me!" (The part at 5:41 so you know we're talking about the same thing) I personally think LaBrie does it better then Hetfield, but otherwise Hetfield does the songer better.

Edit: Can't stop listenning to Disposable Heroes.

My Metallica song of the moment is MOP live on S&M, I am addicted to this song.

I forgot how amazing The Unnamed Feeling was. After listening to that song, I want to know how in the world you could hate St. Anger. :confused:

I always liked St. Anger its some pretty good shtuff. I know as well as every one else it has its down side( lack of solos, echoing snare)but all in all its batter than load IMO maybe. *second guesses himself*

Please for the love of God, put solos on your next album Metallica

From, Concerned Fan :thumb:

I think they will after all the criticism from fans. Plus, pressure from Kirk to put them in would add to that. He looked pretty pissed in that one scene in SKOM.

I have not seen SKOM, would you recommend it? One of my friends said it was good but i have been busy learning bass guitar so I haven't seen it.

It's awesome. I bought it the first day it came out around here.

wow no holds bar tonight

[QUOTE=White Goodman]I have not seen SKOM, would you recommend it? One of my friends said it was good but i have been busy learning bass guitar so I haven't seen it.[/QUOTE]

YES! It's definitely worth the money. Since you're learning bass too it's good, there's a bit of bass action when they try out bassists (and eventually pick Rob). You'd like it a lot

Great, I will have to check it out. I have learned quite a bit, I had a wonderful instructor. I'm now in a band and I have been learning a few new tabs that they play. It's pretty awesome.

The truth about Metallica
 

[QUOTE=iliketoplaydrums10111]amen

can someone suggest more songs from metallica that are decent besides

master of puppets
fade to black
the one
enter sandman
the unforgivin

i know there is more, those are just the ones im familiar with:)[/QUOTE]


[CENTER]The Truth About Metallica[/CENTER]

The way I see it is, If you are a fan, and I am sure everyone wants to be, noone would need any suggestions.
A true Metallica fan, like myself, knows his favorites, and then knows everybody elses idea of favorite.
I can suggest a list of my favorites and why

1) nothing else matters (It has a classical feel to it along with a solo to die for.
2)Battery (Awesome *** combination of riffs and solos
3)and justice for all (acoustic intro turns into a distorted party clash)
4)fuel(speedy intro with a decent solo)

that is just a short list. I actually like all of Metallica's songs except the songs on st.anger. I understand the meaning of st.anger but the drums just dont sound right. I think Lars might have lost his mind a couple years ago when james went to rehab. it was lars that said "our fans want us to be the leaders in changing Rock and Roll forever"
I totally agree.
Don't we all want them to come out with an album that makes you bust a nut in 5 seconds flat? why the hell not?
But it takes a matter of trial and error.
they were just giving the album a try and failed.
they know it, we know it, and everybody knows it.
but, it takes a true metallica fan to have the respect and understand that they are not perfect.

I want you guys to test my metallica wisdom so I can prove to you that I am a bigger metallica fan than you are.

[QUOTE=Dannyboy15]Don't you think taking 5 years to make an album like St. Anger is a bit rediculous?[/QUOTE]

Not really considering they have families and they dont want their kids to see their dads every 2 years. They have lives.


[QUOTE=Dannyboy15]Plus, Maiden unlike Metallica never changed their music at an attempt to make more money, regardless of what James might say.[/QUOTE]

Ok, first, show me proof where metallica members say they chose to change their style because they wanted to be more popular and earn more money. Is it impossible that they were tired of their old stuff and wanted a change? And coincidentally that change was liked by more poeple and more people bought their albums. You need to understand that not all bands want to have their career into same type of music. Some want to change styles because it gets old playing same **** everyday. Iron maiden is a great band, and Im really pissed fans like you don't really deserve to be their fans. I like both bands, and Im not going to flame any of them if they decide they want to take a time out and spend time with their family. It's normal for a father to live with his family and spend time with his young son/daughter.

[QUOTE=brettberry]I want you guys to test my metallica wisdom so I can prove to you that I am a bigger metallica fan than you are.[/QUOTE]

What is the name of their newest upcoming album in 2 weeks? If you dont know, I am better then. :lol:

This isn't an e-***** contest to see who's the bigger Metallica fan.
There are many Metallica fans in this thread who know quite a bit about Metallica anyway, if anyone really wanted to know something like "What's Lars' shoe size?" (Not a literal question, I was using it as an example) someone in here would surely know the answer.
