cody78 Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 I got into Metallica's music around 1998/ 1999 when I was in high school. I loved Reload, Garage Inc and S&M and have good memories of listening to them back then. I'm one of the few who like all Metallica's album, except St. Anger which is pretty terrible on al levels. They changed over the years, but that made them interesting I think. Yeah, from Kill 'Em All to Justice they were at there peak, but Load, Reload, Death Magnetic and Hardwired have some great stuff on. Whilst I sometimes enjoy it, I was never a massive fan of the Black album. Kirk plays like Kirk and I like his style. If everyone played like all the 'speed players', it would be boring. A lot of people who criticize Kirk seem to miss this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitefang Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Though never a follower of that band, there seems to be an issue among it's fans that resent their "changing". Well, sometimes change is good, but too, not always for the better. But too many bands go through personnel changes many fans resent and so forth. On example is one of my long time favorite bands, YES. Look how many times their line up and approach to music has changed from their eponymous debut album (from '69) til now. Now, I didn't like ALL the LPs they put out, but a good lot of them, which doesn't move me to hate them at all now. The best bands and artists are the ones that don't stand still, but evolve, grow and stretch past what others see as limits. As for YES, I know some early on big fans of theirs that gave them up when "Topographic Oceans" came out. I didn't like it much either, but I just gritted my teeth and felt better when RELAYER came out. Those other guys never came back.

Dub-T-123 Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 I recently saw a YouTube ad for a Metallica concert video and I was stunned by how bad they sounded. I’m not sure if they just picked the most embarrassing moments of the performance for the video or what but it was really shocking. Hetfield was trying to sing some kind of slow ballad thing with that constipated grunt while Hammet was doing some incredibly weak chorus drenched plink plink “clean” sounds. The best way I can describe it is that aside from being tonally disgusting it sortof felt disjointed in a way that made my brain struggle to even process it as music 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But not the whole band just Kirk and the bass player, like a mid show break.. Just absolutely terrible..

Well if you like heavy music their early stuff is great..... And they do a good live show.. Or they used to anyway and did so for like a good 20 years....

Whitefang Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 I have to agree with IanHenry about that vid being awful. But, as I've often stated, it's an "ear of the beholder" thing. I'll go a step further(proving it too is a "to each" thing) That what doesn't help keep it from being awful is them doing a song that(IMHO) can't be done well by ANYBODY. But, like I said.........

IanHenry Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Honestly, I've heard drunk's in Glasgow pubs singing better than that. It maybe a "party", but those guy's are doing that for profession. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
