Metallica - Have They Lost It?

[stinkyattic]

the can still play the instruments efficiently

Right... that's what I meant... they should have dissolved the band though and started giving basic music lessons to the next generation that HASN'T sold out yet. I can just see James Hetfield sitting down with a bunch of preschoolers, paper bagged whiskey in one hand, running them through basic music theory...haha

I like the old stuff...but new stuff sucks ass.

lol!

Hetfield would be a decent teacher. Could you imagine Lars though? He'd be awful.

[Euphoric]

yes. metallica lost it a decade ago in fact

[Jedi Hash]

Didn't Metallica lose it when they shot their "Load?"

[fasterspider]

Sup guys. Anyone listen to Metallica?

We stopped listening to them after the album "Metallica" when they went commercial. Money made their moves for them, they lost their touch 15 years ago.

I grew up on mostly metallica.
I like there older and new stuff, Nothing lasts forever.
Favorite songs-Fixxer, Blackend, where the wild things are.

I'd like to add another thing about Metallica. Why don't they just quit? I mean, has anyone else seen their movie Some Kind of...? It's like a 2hr episode of the Jerry Springer show and who has the bigger dick. You're not a band anymore when you struggle that hard, ready to kill each other, to create a song. It isn't even music anymore.

Their St. Anger album was bits and pieces of music put together to make a song.

They have lost it, and good for Hetfeild for the quitting drinking, but it seems drinking was the only thing holding that band together. They got used to one kind of lifestyle in the studio, having some drinks and getting creative, but that missing now, I think they have forgot how to make music, sober.

A band shouldn't fight like that though. They seem to spend more time filming their therepy sessions than creating music. If something drives you to that breaking point, I think your body is trying to tell you to stop.

The reason i started playing guitar is because of the master of puppets riff.

There old stuff was wicked. they did lose there touch for a while tho. St. Anger was a test run for there new shit, but now that they have Trujlio in the band they are going to be able to play as fast as they use to. Robert T. brings a whole new energy to the band, which they needed in a big way.

The point of my post is, Trujillo is a base god and with his Punk/Funk roots, he turns every thing he touches to gold.

SUICIDAL FOR LIFE.
