Sup guys. Anyone listen to Metallica? I was wondering if there are any Met fans who think that they have "lost it", creatively and performance wise. Now don't get me wrong, Metallica is one of the best metal bands around. Without them, hard thrash metal would be very different.

I know after Load and ReLoad were released, the guitars didn't seem as heavy and James no longer had his trademark scream/growl on those albums. However, on Garage Inc, there are some hints of Hetfield's growl coming back with on the cover song Lover Man.

Do you think they sold out? I mean, they can still play their old heavy stuff pretty well. They played the entire Master of Puppets album last summer live and there is a rumor that they next album will be in that vein, yet thats what we said about St. Anger which was somewhat of a disappointment, but I think it is somewhat a return to form which is a good thing.

The only problem that I find with them now is that James can't really sing anymore and Lars does not do double bass as well as he used to. Don't get me wrong, Lars is a very good drummer, but he was playing more jazz stype then metal on the Load/ReLoad. Just the 1989 video of them in Seattle and compare him today and he has fallen much.
