For the Metallica/Mortal Kombat Fans.....
Xiaou2:
I threw up a little inside my mouth from seeing that crappy video. If your gona
play Justice as it should be heard and remembered... it should be played with the
original crew, and at the time when Hetfeild actually sounds good. After he changed
his singing style... hes stunk up the bands sound bigtime.
Metallica was great before the Black Album. The Black album was soso... and then
they turned to Metallicrap.
Stupid me... I actually bought 'Load' without listening first. Never again.
All of what Ive heard after the black.. wouldnt even get an up an comming band
noticed. Its really that crappy.
Now... on the other hand... I had been starting to get into MegaDeth... and these
guys have put out some Great material on their RECENT albums.
I admit... that I didnt get into them in the early days. I particularly didnt care for
Daves high-midrangy voice. However, it would seem that was just an issue with
bad EQ work. On albums like Countdown... his voice is F/N killer :D Its one
of my favs actually. Not so much for the well known titles on it... but for songs like
"Sweating Bullets" "High Speed Dirt" and more. It pretty much stomps Metallica's
feeble efforts. Listening to Dave's voice EQ'd properly.. .and its superior by leaps and bounds compared with Hetfeilds voice. Dave has so much more Personality in his singing. More range too.
I also started to listen to their past material. I have to say... songs like
"Holy Wars" "Tornado Of Souls" "Five Magics" Are just insane! :D Their Solos are
much more pleasing to the ears. The ever changing rhythm guitar is much complex
and varied. The drum work is amazing too.
Go back even further to "The Conjuring" and "Wake up the Dead"
have some of the most Luscious guitar work. Kirks solos are "ehh". They fit... but they
do not really inspire much. Where as these... you really look forward to hearing them.
Again... going to the present.. Check out a song like " Amerikhastan" and see
how much more tail it kicks than anything recent put out by Over_The_Hill_Ica.
A few funny things... are how they are trying to put out yet another version of
Unforgivin. Beating a dead horse dry! lol Its so pathetic that it makes the head
hurt even contemplating it.
Also funny is the Title "Death Magnetic". Almost as bad as Load. What the
heck does magnetism have to do with death?! Crappy concepts. Crappy songs.
Want further proof on how washed up and talentless they have become? Watch
their own documentary "Some Kind of Monster". Watching them fumble in the
studio trying so hard to make ANYTHING is a real joke.
Everything that was played sounded extremely lame. All the ideas were based
around what was done in the past, rather than what would sound good... or any
meaningful purpose...
The only reason they get away with it... is because of the past works.. and the
large bankroll they have.
I USED to Love them... but now... they are simply depressingly awful.
Time to hang up those Guitars. Metallica is no more.
Ummon:
Metallica died with Cliff, and To Live Is To Die underlined it.
Hetfield sounds great as a baritone. He just needs to use it right.
Of course, there's metal (like Preist and Maiden), and then there's METAL - which died in any case in the 90s.

I am sorry you feel that way. You have to go with the flow when bands change their sound or their direction. Who the hell wants to listen the the same album recorded 10 different times? If you don't change, you die. Look at it from James' point of view. He's go so many ideas and riffs in his head, he has to get them all out and they are not going to please everyone all the time.

I agree with you! Very much so, On most of your METALLICA thoughts.
Also love MEGADETH. Rust in Peace was such an awesome album!
I do like Dave's voice! But have you ever noticed?
That he also sounds alot like STEPHEN PEARCY from RATT?
If you don't believe me? Give some RATT a spin!
