I love enter the sandman and nothing else mattersOriginally posted by D.O.T.G:I like Metallica's songs like creeping death, nothing else matters and enter sandman.
For rock bands, I'm a gnr fan.
Metallica didn't sold out man... why is everybody thinking of that?! True enough their older stuff are better but their new stuff is cool and fresh..Originally posted by the Bear:metallicash sold out...
from urging people to bootleg their concerts to money-grubbing corporate sellouts...
still, i like their older stuff like Kill Em All and Ride the Lightning...
prefer stuff like Nine Inch Nails tho'
Pretty cool but fade to black is awesome so check it out as well..Originally posted by EvilDead:I love enter the sandman and nothing else matters

hey look, ur not getting old, this is not only ur opinion, almost all of their loyal fans has the same thinking... St anger really is a big disappointment... Also a joke to me.. I hope their next album better be good..Originally posted by the Bear:they, who told people to bootleg their stuff in the past, took Napster to court and desecrated what they preached in the past... to spread music... just because they felt they were being "ripped off"...
it's well-documented...
oh well... nevermind... i still enjoy the music of their past.. but i do think they're pretty much "has-beens" now...
maybe i'm gettin' old? who knows?
not forgetting...the lack of booze......Originally posted by mighty_megatron:After the Black album came out and after years and years of relentless touring round the world plus a lengthy break, I think that Metallica lost the ability to write great thrash riffs. I think the break was so lengthy that their approach to writing songs changed and that they may never make an album as good as anything from Kill 'em all to Black.
I, myself hated Load, Reload and St Anger especially as Lars' sounds like hes hitting water buckets. I would still go to watch them play but purely for the old stuff.
Slayer have always remained hardcore to their roots because Kerry King and Jeff Hanneman are still influenced by the same sound and style to this day. They have an uncomprimising attitude when it comes to writing slayer songs and is why the slayer sound has never really changed or evolved.
why is it the always "lack of booze" thing?Originally posted by sidestep1984:not forgetting...the lack of booze......
after rehab.....the st anger album wasnt really...metallica....thus the lack of booze in rehab altered hetfield's song writing skills...Originally posted by FadeToBlack:why is it the always "lack of booze" thing?
i've seen the documentary. it's not bad.. but haven't show here in singapore yet.. To me, i feel that Metallica changed because of Bob Rock and they went into the mainstream.. If u listen to Kill Em all and ride the lightning.. it's very different from all the albums..Originally posted by mighty_megatron:They lost their direction way before St. Anger came out. It was from Load onwards that things took a downhill slide musically. Also I feel that Jason Newstead leaving the band also had an effect.
The fans lacklustre reaction to Load and Reload probably brought on Jimmy's boozing to be honest. Then getting off the booze before St Anger probably made situations worst.
I need to see 'Some Kind of Anger' that Metallica documentary. Any of you guys seen it?
