IMHO Metallica just Sucks now...


I own every album they have ever put out, Including some bootleg stuff and rare albums. I can understand people's arguments about Justice being where it all started to go wrong.... In part they are right. It all started to go wrong the moment Cliff was tossed from the boss as it flipped and it rolled over him. Combine that with the Signing of Bob Rock as thier producer and it was all over. Bob Rock took them from one of the Greatest Metal Bands to just some Pop Rock metal band that was more interested in there own image there thier music.

And you thinking St.Anger is a good album just shows how little you know about good music. I am ashamed to admit it but I bought that album the day it came out. I have listened to it a Handful of times. I can't get past the Hetfield Vocals that sounds like he's strangling a cat. And Lars's Beating on a Garbage Can Drum kit thing he had going.

They band Got the Balls of the Genius that was Kirk Hammet by not letting him break into his Solo's which was Signature Metallica.

The only good thing the Band had going for it was Rob Trujillo (Spelling?) laying down Bass Tracks. And I don't even think a lot of his work made the Album. If I remember Correctly they didn't get Rob until they went on tour. I think it was Bob Rock doing a lot of the Bass work.

Metallica should do the Metal world a Favor and Just retire.



Hey man, what's with the hostility here! I apologized for my more inflamatory comments.... did I mention that I was drunk? I actually agree with you on most of the comments that you are making, albeit I am not as negative about things.

I never said that "St. Anger" was a good album, I just said that it has a few great tracks. I totally agree that they need to unleash Kirk Hammet on the next record and despite the fact that I believe Jason Newstead was the member that kept them "grounded," I like Rob T's presence in the band.

Hopefully, "St. Anger" is a transitional record... you know kida like a rebuilding year with a sports team. Obviously, they were going through a lot of bullshit as individuals and as a band which shows up on the record. I am praying that with this album out of their system, there next few records might be better. But, like my grandad said, "Try praying with one hand and shitting in the other... see which one fills up first."

I am a man with needs. Rack JLA!!!
