Metallica used to be a thrash metal band. They morphed into a top forty boom-tap band. Good for their pocketbooks, but bad for their metal image. They're not metal, they're top forty poseurs. Some mulletards may think they're metal, but mulletards think AC/DC is metal too. 
It's funny you bring up BAD RELIGION, they did the same thing Metallica did, signing with Warner Bros, then corrected their mistake and went back to Epitaph. Their latest New Maps of Hell ranks with their older works IMO. |
I would have to agree with 90% of what you stated. The Black album was the begining of the end. When they took on Bob "pay for play" Rock as the producer I knew it was gonna be bad. This is the same guy that ruined Motley Crue. Then when they did the S&M thing I thought that was cool as hell. Not since Load have I purchased a CD but this one I think I will be there on the 12th to get it.
I have seen them 5 times since Arrowhead the summer of 88 and I have tickets to the show at Sprint center 20 yrs later for #6. I am going if for nothing else to have one night where maybe I can feel like I am 16 again.
