Metallica thread

[SuperMike]

There's some Metallica music I don't like in the past, but I still love the band because they were a good influence on me for music.

When I was a young teen, I was really proud of myself for learning Metallica tunes on guitar.

"Oh, and by the way, this up-and-coming producer guy named Rick something-or-other has been coming by the studio every now and again to listen to some of our new stuff and throw his two/three cents in.

"Since this Rick dude is new to all of this, we thought it would be a nice gesture to help break him into the music business by asking him to produce our next record. We're very happy he said yes! In other words, we are psyched to share with you that Rick Rubin is producing the next METALLICA album! FUCK YEAH!"

well... dont they know jack shit? they say rock is new to the biz and he did stuff way back? what the hell?!

Lighten up, I believe they are being SARCASTIC in what they wrote!

[GNRBABY]

Wow, they're not working with Bob Rock for the first time in 15 years?!?!?!?!?!!

I wonder how this will affect the sound and direction of the new album?

It can only improve from the total garbage they have been putting out since Load. Gosh, they make me sick to my stomach these days. It's like they are no better than Creed

 Representatives for METALLICA's management (QPrime) and record label (Warner Bros.) have both rejected as "false" rumors that the band will be headlining this summer's Ozzfest.

METALLICA have lined up a number of European festival appearances as part of their "Escape From The Studio '06" tour, including slots at Germany's Rock Am Ring and U.K.'s Download festivals.

METALLICA recently confirmed in a posting on their official web site that they have recruited Rick Rubin (SLAYER, SYSTEM OF A DOWN, SLIPKNOT, AUDIOSLAVE, RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS) to produce their forthcoming studio LP. The news was accompanied on the site by several pictures of METALLICA in the studio with a shoeless Rubin.

METALLICA officially began the songwriting process for their new album late last year and are expected to spend the next few months compiling ideas before entering the final recording stage. A late 2006/early 2007 release via Warner Bros. is expected.

Allright Rick Rubin is a good idea for them.  I like Bob Rock with some bands, Motley Crue for one, but not with Metallica.

METALLICA FUCKING RULES! FIGHT FIRE WITH FUCKING FIRE!

[Megaguns]

One thing i will say about metallica is that they are dedicated to their fans and always keep them up to date on whats going on, unlike gnr.

  yeah right. what was that quote from lars around the napster incident?

A lot of bands have this sort of ?give the people what they want, we?re doing it for the fans? mentality and all that type of stuff. I think people have sort of gotten their wires crossed a couple of times with this whole thing, because we are so accessible. Because we treat our fans with dignity and respect and so on, people put this kind of brand ?Metallica the fans band, ??Metallica the peoples? band? which I have no problem with. But we?re not doing it for the fans ? we do it for ourselves and ultimately the fans get something out of it.

here's the whole article

I lost alot of respect for dear old Lars at that point

[Megaguns]

Yeah, but all i mean is that they keep us informed of whats going on.... I didnt say i like lars or anything.

 Sources close to METALLICA have told Launch that the band will not play any U.S. shows this summer, despite speculation that the group would either headline Ozzfest or mount its own stadium tour. While METALLICA is playing three concerts in South Africa later this month and has a string of European festival appearances lined up for June, its schedule has been empty for the rest of the summer, leading to rumors of some sort of U.S. jaunt. However, the sources say that the band will enter the studio in July with producer Rick Rubin to begin recording its ninth studio album.

METALLICA will make its South African debut on March 18, March 21 and March 25 as part of a massive music festival called the Coca-Cola Colab Mix.

The band's June festival itinerary includes stops in Germany, the Netherlands, Austria and the U.K.

METALLICA announced last month that it will record its new album with Rubin, who has worked with SYSTEM OF A DOWN, SLIPKNOT, the RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS, AUDIOSLAVE and others.

[GNRBABY]

I'm going to go with an 8.5, only because thier live show has some redeeming qualities

[metallex78]

I really love intellectual musical conversation on this message board...

[W. Botaxl Rose]

Not 1/2 as bad as Whaxl.

[GNRBABY]

Not 1/2 as bad as Whaxl.

Ok, so Axl sucks in your opinion? Why are you a member of a GNR board? I find that really strange.
