Metallica Old Vs. New

Saint	Date: July 22, 2006 @ 7:28 AM Is it so wrong that i fell inlove with "load" and "reload"? Should i be looked at with hateful eyes because i like the new shit more than i like the old shit?
hantu	Date: July 22, 2006 @ 7:33 AM no.
Orion	Date: July 22, 2006 @ 7:36 AM no..btw i like the old metallica thats why i do a cover of FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLL'S:biggin:
Saint	Date: July 22, 2006 @ 7:39 AM I've found that most die hard metal fans completey bash the new metallica albums.Thier great albums! Better than most of the nu metal shit coming out now.I think they were ahead of thier time when they came out, if they were to come out now when music of that genre is in desperate need of a hero i think those albums would be viewed differently.
hantu	Date: July 22, 2006 @ 7:42 AM its easy to bash
Orion	Date: July 22, 2006 @ 7:44 AM bob rock is why there songs got slow and not as heavy as the old shit kill'em all/m.o.p kicked ass!!!
Orion	Date: July 22, 2006 @ 7:46 AM i like some of the new stuff i think the next cd will be beter than st anger!!
Saint	Date: July 22, 2006 @ 7:46 AM They just fired Bob Rock a couple of months ago, i forget the name of their new producer but the new album is in the works Their last album "Saint Anger" came out on my 18 bday secretly too..they announced it for the fifth but released it on the 4th to beat the internet
Orion	Date: July 22, 2006 @ 7:50 AM yeah metallica's music would be way different if cliff burton was still alive.
Orion	Date: July 22, 2006 @ 7:55 AM i think i have most of metallica's cds lets see i have kill'em all ride the lightning and justice for all master of puppets load reload matallica st anger but i don't have garage inc.
Saint	Date: July 22, 2006 @ 7:56 AM garage inc. is a great album! they got alot of bashing for doing a whole album of covers too but i thought it was wonderful

Distilled1	Date: July 22, 2006 @ 11:10 AM ^ old But its not wrong to loke the new.
Distilled1	Date: July 22, 2006 @ 11:10 AM shoot kingo you jusmped in the was for the whinny ass ... although I gues it works to answer you to
Saint	Date: July 22, 2006 @ 11:11 AM Is there a signup sheet to become a whinny ass corporate rock pussie?
EvilPicnic	Date: July 22, 2006 @ 11:14 AM I'm not so fond of St Anger, but Load and ReLoad had some awesome songs: Fixxer, Bleeding Me, Fuel, The Outlaw Torn, Until It Sleeps, Hero Of The Day etc. But I have to say I like the earlier albums more, if only because of the abysmal dross like Ronnie & The House That Jack Built on them mid-90's ones.
Saint	Date: July 22, 2006 @ 11:22 AM But seriously..aside from the haircuts,lawsuits against napster and whatever personality your getting off of them...the music is still music am i right? Hell their are people on this site i dont like but i still like their music.
Distilled1	Date: July 22, 2006 @ 11:23 AM ^
Distilled1	Date: July 22, 2006 @ 11:23 AM But don't buy it, it
Intergalacti...	Date: July 22, 2006 @ 1:21 PM you should be looked at with hateful eyes but not because of the metallica thing
Saint	Date: July 22, 2006 @ 1:28 PM ^
jewsus	Date: July 22, 2006 @ 4:00 PM you ever see that movie they did? "blah blah blah monster" or something. it pretty much shows how blatently gay and whiney they are. and yes, new metallica blows, sorry, but coming from a fan of their old stuff, back when it wasn't quite so popular, they totally let me down.
moam	Date: July 22, 2006 @ 4:11 PM I actually like their "new" stuff...just not as much St. Anger. I really love their black album or whatever thats called if thats considered their "new" stuff
jewsus	Date: July 22, 2006 @ 4:14 PM the black album is considered their last "good album" by most old school metallica fans.
Orion	Date: July 23, 2006 @ 4:51 AM the only good metallica albums are kill'em all/ride the lightning/and justice for all/ master of puppets & the black album(metallica)orion & one are my favorite metallica songs
Saint	Date: July 23, 2006 @ 8:27 AM Metallica owned back in the day...and they still own so deal with it

Vampiro82	Date: July 23, 2006 @ 8:36 AM MetallicA are the best! They're my favourite band! I remember when i felt in love with this band when I listened for the first time Reload album. I think it is a great hard rock album and isnt so bad as everybody say. I prefer the old MetallicA but I like last works aswell. their best albums are the ones that Orion told.
Vampiro82	Date: July 23, 2006 @ 8:39 AM I think I was one of the few ppl that liked st. Anger when it came out. Right now I dont listen at all. I got bored. I think that album could be better if it had more guitar solos and the song might be shorter.
Orion	Date: July 31, 2006 @ 7:38 AM ^...their best albums are the ones that Orion told-
Svensta	Date: July 31, 2006 @ 8:14 AM I kinda gave up after 'Load', but that's the beauty of music, its all personal.
zedsalt	Date: July 31, 2006 @ 10:40 AM The old Metallica was an absolute GODSEND, as they were an alternative to the whole "hair band" thing. Maybe they just need a bunch of absolute garbage which bears some similarity to their sort of thing to really start "happening", something new and crappy that they can be the antithesis of.
pangtera	Date: August 1, 2006 @ 12:13 AM Whoa, I totally forgot about the songs from Load and Reload. Yes, overall those albums were not that great, but some songs were cool.
EchoMinor	Date: August 1, 2006 @ 12:36 AM i have to agree with gene on this one. they cut their hair, stopped drinking, and just went downhill from there. megadeth has had far better music than metallica.
DrUmMeR-GuY	Date: October 22, 2006 @ 11:44 AM So how about this!!! Different writing methods, between the new album and the old ones!!! They are starting to do the old method again so i think the next one will be alot better than the last one! Metallica is a hard band to follow because one day, theyll be great, the next theyll suck the lights out of the stadium!!! They are no doubt Exellent musicians, and definately do not deserve the shit they are getting. Just because they put out a new record that nobody apreciated, doesent mean their entire amount of songs suck!!! They still play many old songs!!! and in my opinion, I think they are coming back!
Alstroph	Date: October 22, 2006 @ 8:26 PM Personally my favorite Metallica material is everthing before Load. Load, Reload, S&M, and Garage INC. were still great. I do not like ST. Anger at all... I think that was a lost cause. I followed that album right from it's first announcement and was severly disappointed when it was released. Hopefully I'll like the next one.
LiQuidMetamo...	Date: October 22, 2006 @ 9:19 PM Master Of Puppets and the Black album are my faves. Everything since the black album just doesn't feel right imho.
panicstrickin	Date: October 23, 2006 @ 9:37 AM I will support them always....even if the cd is not that good I will still buy it. I never understood why so many people are afraid of change.....I know, if it aint broke dont try to fix it...but music is always evolving.....why would you want to hold that down? I dont think people should be bashed and hung for wanting to try something new. Do you think Metallica loves all of the stuff they have put out? Hell no..but it is all part of growing and changing. They are the masters of metal....a total powerhouse...and noone can ever take that away from them. And as for them being whiny corporate sell outs? hey I love music and I am all for keeping it real but if Pepsi or Coors asked me to sign with them for a couple million...you bet your ass I'd sell out! Sorry but a mans gotta pay the bills right?
plungerboy	Date: October 23, 2006 @ 2:28 PM Metallica hates free music, dont listen to them at all. If they find one metallica mp3 on your hd you'll by burnt by the steak!!! Screw metallica! and if you dont believe me check this out: http://www.shreddingradio.com/metallica.html
plungerboy	Date: October 23, 2006 @ 2:29 PM Oh and their new music sucks, they are a metal band, why degrade themselves into making Nu-metal?
PrincessTast...	Date: October 23, 2006 @ 3:14 PM True, they're stuff hasn't been as consistently good as they're pre-Load material, but they still make good songs.
panicstrickin	Date: October 23, 2006 @ 3:14 PM Sorry dude...that tells me nothing except the guy that wrote that is pissed of cause he isn't rich and powerful like they are. I mean dont get me wrong...I think lars is a whiny little bitch along with the rest of em....but that says nothing about their music...two totally different things.... And as for the whole naptser thing? Well I think that these guys make a LIVING playing music....they have massive bills to pay and they need all the money they can get.... so in a way I understand. I mean I could really care less if people download my music but It is not my bread and butter either.
Thaspian	Date: October 23, 2006 @ 3:25 PM Yoou can listen to a band, enjoy their music, even if you disagree with their politics. Sound doesn't have an opinion. Excluding S&M, everything they did after the early 90s was ass.
Veracohr	Date: October 23, 2006 @ 6:19 PM I love the old Metallica for what it is: quality classic metal. From the black ablum on, they stopped being metal, and that's why I don't like the later music. Not that it's terrible music, it just doesn't fit with the name Metallica in my mind. Though there was a few pretty awful songs around the Load/Reload era.
LiQuidMetamo...	Date: October 24, 2006 @ 12:14 AM I don't think it's an issue of the fact that Metallica have tried to change their sound to 'stay hip' that makes their post black album work less satisfying per se (although it doesn't help), they have had lots of personal stuff going on and don't seem to have had their hearts in it for sometime. I think that St. Anger shows this, although Hetfield seems to be on better form than the previous couple of albums, Kirk is not happy when he barfely features on the album and doesn't get his extended solos, band infighting and loss of confidence in the producer don't help. Look at David Bowie, that man is a musical chameleon and has changed his sound numerous times but most of his albums , especially those in the 70's and 80's were cool. And many of his fans wanted him to be Ziggy Stardust forever with the big almost rock opera material and slagged him off but he produced Heroes and Ashes To Ashes etc shortly thereafter and most of the criticism died down because the songwriting was still excellent. Metallica's songwriting has been very inconsistent since the black album, there are moments of brilliance sandwiched in between a big slab of mediocrity. Still, a real fan is right to stick with the group but it is OK to say that earlier material was better too!!
