Album cover for Metallica's new album

[Anubis10012007]

As you know, or if you don't know, Metallica's 9th studio album will be called Death Magnetic and they have just released the cover art for the album.

Looks fucking awesome and I'm sure it will sound awesome, but we have said that since the release of Load back in 1996!

Keep our fingers crossed!

It may sound good music-wise, but James' voice is long gone, so that's gonna be shit no doubt. Plus Lars has just really gotten sloppy lately, really sloppy. Kinda looks like a pussy eh?

I really can't get into Metallica anymore. They are greedy, and even more greedy than most musicians. They have lost touch with reality. And they were dicks about the whole online downloading thing.

agreed, he just cried about stealing from him with out offering a better alternative. CD's suck and im sick of paying for something i dont want. anyways, i lost interest after S &M. but love everything up until then. besides, badass bands dont make album covers that can be mistaken for a vagina!

They should have changed their name a while back, but on a good side the new bassist is sick. I forget his name something Trujillo, I rember seeing him play with Suicidal Tendencies and Ozzy just to name a few. And he was sick then now he is just one hell of a metal bassist. Not like the Cliff days but good bass might help, hell even the Newstead days were way better than what ever has happend to them since. Yeah new metallica sucks but once they were Alcoholica, and Unchained Melody, and a bunch of other shit that kicked ass now its just ass. I hope they have at least a few good songs, so we can steal em or eles its just not worth stealin.

Its definitely a cooter. That being said, it'll still definitely suck. Bonnaroo scmonaroo.

I was thinking after my last post that my uncle actually went to this posh $2000 dollar a day rehab a while back. and was actually in there with a few celebs. one was james hatfield. I was never allowed to go talk to him... bum deal. but my uncle told me he was in there for sex addiction....not drugs/alcohol. LOL, something about his wife was going to leave him if he didnt get help. so i guess it doesnt surprise me that their subconscious mind made an album cover like that. either that or they thought sex sells more that good ol' fashion rock n roll!

Lars is a bit of a dick, but guess what... he was right. Online downloading IS stealing, it was back then and it still is. So many people are in denial about this, its not right man. I agree Metallica doesn't need more money...true, but every time a band that you like releases a new cd, by downloading it you're simply stealing it. End of story.

They can still play like they were in the 80s. Just not entirely vocally. Songs like Battery, Fight Fire With Fire, and Disposable Heroes are played at live gigs. James can't sing like he did on Kill Em All, but he still has that Black Album/Justice voice when he wants to use it. Just imagine how much brutality his vocal chords have taken, so give him a break when people say he can't sing like he is 20 or some bullshit.

I feel sorry for all of these black metal/death metal bands because they won't be around forever because the singers will blow their voices singing such music. You think the singer from Cannibal Corpse will have the same voice at James' age?


Lars can still double bass drum. He is more than capable of it. Dude, if Lars sucks as bad as you say, than he would have been another Dave Mustaine recently. He gets shit because YouTube has crappy quality videos of concerts where you can't really hear the bass drum at all. I saw Metallica live in 03. I feel the double bass very strong.

And yes Metallica were taking the whole Napster things too far, but they are different now.
