Metallica bashing has become some "cool" and common these days. I just don't get it. Aside from St. Anger, every single Metallica album has produced great classic rock songs. Then again I'm not obssesed with Metallica needing to sound the same as they did in the 80's. I just like good rock music regardless of who makes it.

I agree, St Anger completely blows, but the band has really put out some quality stuff. But the 'purist" want them to continue on the same path they were on with Kill em All. I guess those people are still on the same path they were on in 1984. Same hair, same jeans, same job. God knows growth and progress arent allowed. |

They've been getting bashed since "Ride the Lightning" came out. The fans were pissed that they used acoustic guitars and slowed down a bit. You cant make Metallica fans happy, yet for some reason with all that bitchin, the band continues to sell millions of records and sell out tours. Can't imagine why....

Growth and Progress? lol, growth and progress of what? Their checkbooks? Their music has been progressively weaker and tamer since And Justice For All. Lars' drumming has become even lazier since that release (never thought it was possible).
On top of that, they're a bunch of douchebag dickheads. I know it is trite and cliche to call a band "sell out", but that's EXACTLY what they've been over the past decade or so: the poster children for sell outs. Perhaps the new album IS a return to their roots? Perhaps they finally realized they are widely despised by much of the fanbase that used to like them? IMO, f*#$ them. I don't even listen to their old shit, let alone a "modernized" rehash. They were relevant for a short period, but denigrated and clung on way past their prim IMO. You want to hear "progressive" or "growth" in the genre? Try the new Meshuggah. Hell, try ANY Meshuggah. Boom tap hair bands who think they're tough shit (read: Metallica, Megadeath, et al) are dinosaurs. |

And quite frankly, they have sold more albums since the release of the Black Album than anthing prior. So, where do you get the idea that they have lost a wide fan base? they've gained a wider fan base since Black. As far as Messhuggah, I agree, they are great heavy band. they've been around for quite sometime. I used to play them on my Metal show. But they dont sell enough records, therefore at some point they will lose their record contract and will have to find other ways to make music. Bands can do it, Bad religion being one of them. But often times, they cant afford not to make music that appeals to the masses. I find it funny, how we all want to make more of ourselves and suceed to highest degrees professionally and financially, but our favorite musical artist better not. ![]() |
