Metallica thread

Metallia have been playing some great setlists on their Sick Of The Studio tour, but I thought they'd be debuting some new songs live?

There's been all this talk about Rick Rubin trying to get them in the same mindset as when they recorded Master Of Puppets, so I guess they want to keep a lid on the new stuff until the album comes out, to keep the mystery about it.

Didn't they whip out New Song and Other New Song on this latest studio escapade tour?

Yeah, but apparently those songs have either been scrapped or re-worked into other songs, going by what Rob said in a recent interview.

That sounds right.  I read that the New Song from last year has been taken apart and they're using bits and pieces of it in other songs.

I listened to all the albums from Kill 'Em All to the self-titled album last night.

God, I love Metallica.

I am so looking forward to the new album, I have a good feeling about it.

Yeah, when you listen to those first 5 albums and know what they're capable of, you can only hope we get an album like that once again.
Which is not to dismiss the albums that followed, because there's some great stuff on there. But those first 5, man, there was awesome stuff on there.

When I hear Kirk describing their new album as a bridge between And Justice For All and The Black album, that gets me excited too!

After St. Anger, it's hard for me to get excited about that kind of hype... But we'll see. This way I can only be pleasantly surprised

I don't think they're capable of making another album as bad as St. Anger. Theres too much talent there. But I do agree, there was a lot of hype with that one too so I am going to keep my expectations low and hopefully be blown away.

A Message from James Hetfield

In the last few weeks there have been a lot of rumors flying around saying that I was detained by airport security in London while on tour in Europe. I'm here to tell you that it never happened . . . pure fabrication! The story is simply that there is no story . . . it's scary how gullible and easily fooled the press is!
With that said, we had a blast out there on the "Sick of the Studio" tour and big thanks to everyone who came out to the shows and to the crew who made it happen. Now back to the studio . . .

Sounds promising.

[Dead N' Bloated]

Yeah I really think this will be as good as MOP and AJFA as in heavy. Its gunna kick some major arse.
I also recon after the new album is done, we will see the old Metallica up on stage. I mean, James' funny little G-ups, and lars throwin in Fills Left, right and centre. That sort of thing.
Cant wait.

It's funny, while I've been a vocal hater of St. Anger since its fateful release and have pretty much written off Metallica since, I really really really want them to pull through and make this great.

It's been long enough, and the vibe with this album is good enough, that I'm pretty damn excited for this. I plugged in the S&M symphony concerts last night and rekindled some love n' respect for the band, so here's hoping.

I love alot of S&M but the tracklisting always annoyed me. They passed over some obvious choices that woulda sounded amazing with the symphony in order to push more load and reload stuff.

Ok, thanks a lot mate

[Dead N' Bloated]

I just downloaded Whiplash from Denmark in July. They are really soundin like they did like 15 years ago. Lars is fuckin smashin that kit like he used to.


 

[GnFnR87]

busted out St. Anger for the first time in a while recently, still cant get through it.

Sweet Amber is awesome tho. everything else i still dont like that much.

i agree with what someone said about them being too talented to make a nother sub-par album. so we'll see.

i heard that their new record was pushed back till next year tho. sucks, but i'd rather them take their time.

[Dead N' Bloated]

Sweet Amber is prob the best song on the Album. I love it. Its used to have a solo in it before they done the final edit. Waht I heard of it it soundwed awesome.

I am so pumped for the next album. Are you?

Screw what everyone says about the band and st.anger , Metallica will always kick ass , what other metal band has become a household name!
