How was your Saturday night?

[Rockwulf]

I bet mine was cooler...

[Bikerpunk]

Who is that on stage?

[Rockwulf]

James Hetfield, leader of a little band called Metallica...

[Bikerpunk]

Oh. I remember when they didn't suck.

[Amelia G]

Oh. I remember when they didn't suck.

Ride the Lightening?

[Bikerpunk]

Thereabouts. Then they started doing ballads. Then they cut their hair.

"Where heather high my row-a-hoawammmmmmmmmmmm...." NO NO NO STFU JUST STOP JUST STOP NOW

I'm sure we could power the planet by hooking Cliff Burton's spinning corpse up to a generator.

[Rockwulf]

I like the direction Metallica took. You can only write so many songs making Mad Libs from your Dungeons and Dragons source book.

[Rockwulf]

I haven't dug their last 2 albums though.

[Buster Friendly]

I like the direction Metallica took. .

Pussy.

Welcome Home Sanatorium is arguably a ballad and I think that was great.

[Rockwulf]

Pussy.

Yeah, whatever. Here, make yourself an early Metallica album:



Your party is in a dark cave. You wish to ______________. You find a switch and decide to ______________. At the far end of the room you encounter a ____________ and cast ________________. He casts a flaming ring around himself for protection so you summon _____________ and ____________ with ___________.










If you said:
1. Seek and Destroy
2. Hit the Lights
3. Phantom Lord
4. Metal Militia
5.The Four Horseman
6.Jump in the Fire
7.No Remorse

You win the prize.

[Bikerpunk]

you like their new direction? dude, have you heard "Load"?

Metallica is now for fratboys to bang their heads to, bro, before like, dude, the UFC comes on, homes!

[jonny.illuminati]

i think they need to finally ride the lightning towards the light...

when the WWF or E or whatever the hell it is uses your songs... or worse you end up on the same album as limp dick bizkit and it's a tom cruise movie soundtrack it's time to quit...

or go to rehab and get really angry at the freaking millions you made over the years...

[Rockwulf]

I've heard Load, I bought it. ReLoad too. Liked both of them and didn't find any arbitrary need to jump on the hater bandwagon just because they grew as artists and people.

[Rockwulf]

I admit the last few years have been fucking terrible, especially that piece of shit "cry-u-mentary" they put out.

But from Kill Em All to Reload I like everything. S&M was cool too.

Or sit there, teary eyed, handing out glasses of champagne to mega-rich dicks who are buying the modern art pieces you bought over the years. Maybe if you'd spent more time learning to play less sloppy you WOULDN'T SUCK, LARS.

As to you being a latter day fan, hey, whatever blows your hair back, but - uh, yeah. They used to rub elbows with fans of Black Sabbath and Pantera. Now they rub elbows with fans of Buckcherry.

So wait - in other words, we agree on something? (marks date on calendar)

I like Sabbath and Buckcherry. What's up now?

This is extremely funny.

Ain't I just the cutest?

[Raza]

I like the direction Metallica took. You can only write so many songs making Mad Libs from your Dungeons and Dragons source book.

You kidding me? The rate WotC's pumping out sourcebooks these days, that's lifetime coverage for any band, including three failed post-peak reformations and off-hand inspiration for every opening act they'll ever share a flyer with.

[Buster Friendly]

Ain't I just the cutest?

The cutest pussy.

[VoltaireBlue]

that's because master of puppets was a fantastic album. I don't like metallica, but I love that album.
i'll bet they didn't play my favorite song off that album that night though.

[nathanmbailey]

Death Magnetic is actually a pretty good album to me. I agree with everyone else though, Saint Anger sucked. How many years have they been playing with minimal lineup changes? The problem lies more in that their music is starting to be considered "softer metal" and "generic metal." But what can you do when you're one of the bands that basically created the speed/thrash metal sound in America? With the exception of Saint Anger, all their stuff sounds fairly similar, which is just weak compared to acts nowadays.

Like 'em or hate 'em, you've got to hand it to them for surviving this long. Not too many other bands are still around from when they started, just Slayer, Megadeath, and a small handful of others that constantly change lineups.

[OliX]

Is that Rockwulf singing along with James on that photo?

[Ajax Knucklebones]

I always liked "Orion" off the album. What's your favorite?

[Ajax Knucklebones]

Is that Rockwulf singing along with James on that photo?

No, I'm pretty sure that's Rockwulf telling some dude to cut the shit or he's gonna crack his skull....While James Hetfield plays in the background.

[Bikerpunk]

Is that Rockwulf singing along with James on that photo?

Of course. Rocky taught James H everything he knows.

That's because they became more commercialized which opened up a whole new fan base for them. These other bands stayed true to their fans. We, on the forum, could go round and round on how they changed they're sound to grow as a band or just basically sold out, but the only real bands that I know that did in a way that still showed they were totally talented was the Beatles, The Stones, possibly Areosmith, and of course, Bowie.

[OliX]

You know you two got a relatively good chance to meet in near future
I would love to see that on tape

Btw I thought he was just mouthbreathing from toil.

You left out Queen.

Anyway I'm all for the evolving... and that what they did was evolving, even tho I disliked that new cheesy style of theirs.

And yes... Lars is a asshole, not just professionally but personally too, and my favourite album is Master of Puppets too.

Good Lord, whatever for? I've no wish to be slapped around by a Neanderthal and consistently treated rudely.

[Mr Karl]

metallica lost me as a fan long time ago..................................I got laid saturday......you'd need at least slayer to beat that

[OliX]

I meant by pure chance. And why does everyone think violence first...

[VoltaireBlue]

I always liked "Orion" off the album. What's your favorite?

helo fellow nerd. orion is also myfavorite song on that album. everyone always gives me shit and calls me a nerd whenever I admit its my favorite on master of puppets.

[Rockwulf]

Nope, I've gotten laid a bunch of times. I've only gotten paid to see my twelve-year-old self's favorite band play once...

[Ajax Knucklebones]

"Everyone" has no taste.

[nathanmbailey]

Yeah, I was pissed I missed Ozzfest this year since I could have actually had a chance to go. It would have been awesome seeing Apocolyptica and Metallica play in the same day, especially since half their set lists are the same...

[Rockwulf]

Good Lord, whatever for? I've no wish to be slapped around by a Neanderthal and consistently treated rudely.

Awww, settle down Zippy. I probably wouldn't slap you around much...

[Rockwulf]

I wish Ozzy was still playing. He's like the last band I liked growing up that I haven't gotten to see live.
