More of that new Metallica

I like it and I am really good at lobbing dirt bombs at Metallica.

 

The one thing that sells it for me is that the really annoying parts of their last few records (the excessive silliness of James' vocal parts, the god awful drum sounds, and the pisspoor fidelity) have been ironed out. IMO this is how they should sound.

After watching Some Kind Of Monster I can only see WHINY ROCK STAR T-WATS WITH HUGE EGO'S.

 

 

100% true. Newsted was the only one with his head on right and they ran him out of the band. Once he was out, they basically did everything he was proposing. wtf?

Saw them in Hawaii on the Black Album Tour. Loudest concert I was ever at. Too Loud for comfort. Was deaf for 3 days. Thanks F-AG-tallica.

 

No offense, but why would you not wear ear protection to an arena show? After my first one in 1990 I knew enough to salvage what little hearing I was going to have left by the time I hit 40.

Is that an actual quote?

 

If he weren't tight with Hetfield, he'd have no royalties at all. Little arrangement ideas don't constitute songwriting. In my book.

 

He's an excellent manager. Not a songwriter. He's sitting on a fortune because he's very good at talking, not because he writes music.

 

Gotta stop reading Metallica-related threads, I just get an upset stomach. The Emperor has been naked for 20-plus years. In my not the least bit humble opinion.

It grew on me. For a bit. Bored with it now, but it was okay while it lasted. At least there's a harmony this time, and reverb where there's supposed to be reverb.

 

Unlike "D.M.", where Rick Rubin, for some inexplicable reason, decided that a multi-million dollar recording should sound like a bad demo.

 

Did you notice "Moth" is in E standard, by the way?
