I am not a die hard metallica guy. I loved the old stuff. Load and on was ok. I didn't understand the hype behind them selling out until I really started playing guitar and drums in 2000's. Then I understood metal or not. I know it is really cool to hate on metallica, but I also thinks it speaks volumes about how large this band is considering we are supposed to hate on them for being greedy, yet we have 6 or 7 threads on here about metallica, and a person "may I say?" bragging that she is in trouble with metallica? They don't do that shit for Six pence on the richer...that is for sure.

See Ari's post.

I have an idea...if they're acting like dickbags as usual, how about giving them ZERO air time or publicity when this turd is released?

"Metallica Sucks Monday"

Promotionally they have a plan and a timeline. Including a World Premiere hosted by Dave grohl on Thursday. So this kind of puts a wrinkle in that. It will still happen tho.

you hate the worst album in music history so you hope they go back to doing stuff like the third and second worst albums in music history, ok, thanks for playing

No. the internet can be amazing.

The Black Album is probably their biggest selling record you dumb****.

Or at least the most popular

Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it wasn't successful.

the black album pretty much put a stamp on music. When general public hears metal they think metallica mainly enter sandman

:popcorn:

They do, and I'll say it's a hell of a lot better than anything they've put out in a while. That said, I still think Lar's is a F'N tool. I will not buy it.

Agreed. being in rock radio for eons, i have heard the metallica sucks debate since Ride the ****ing Lightning. It is old, but as you say it speaks volumes about how big they are. In fact, in radio, they are their own musical category. They are the only band in rock that you could play every hour and no one would complain. its amazing. I'm a rock radio programmer, not just a Dj. Its true.

BTW, this without a doubt sounds like the old stuff.

I used to love Metallica. I have no interest in their new music. They became irrelevant years ago.

They went back to classical scales and dual lead solo's from what I heard. Much more metal (hides from reaper) than before

maybe to you, but this album is recieving mega hype. It will probably be #1 on the charts. Every rock station across the US is clamoring for it. They have become a lightning rod on what is right and wrong with music today. Maybe they suck, maybe they rule, but no doubt this weekend we will see they are as relevant as ever.

Well them and Nickelback. :)
