So metallica is up to it's old tricks again I was reading.

Will people keep buying the albums or have they been mostly forgotten by the fans?

They are my favorite band, but the stuff they do to completely alienate everyone is ridiuclous. It's like they are trying to get you to not like them.

No one will ever be able to get a new Metallica album. It won't be able to be downloaded (for obvious reasons), and if Metallica follows the trend, as soon as music and book stores start carrying their new albums, Metallica's lawyers will sue them for carrying a Metallica product.

Metallica was a great band.

Emphasis on the was.

Ever since the first Napster fiasco they've proven their money grubbing whore status, and all their newer music has paled in comparison to the old stuff.

They're my favorite band along with Primus, but they haven't put out a true quality album since '91.

They didn't demand that the previews of the new album be taken down, their label did. The previews are back up, because the band said that taking down positive previews is stupid.

I'll still buy their new album, but even I'm skeptical. I wish they'd go back to thrash. There first 3 albums are some of the best thrash metal you'll ever hear.

Were're here getting drunk and are watching the eurpean championship soccer game turkey vs croatia. My opinion about Metallica is that it was a great band but James Hetfield has become gay since he has cutten his hair. The friend of mine who is also here has a different opinion though. He thinks that Metallica is still great and James Hetfield is his hero. Which makes him gay.

*edit*

He says he isn't gay but James Hetfield with his short is.

I very much love Metallica, old Metallica. I still class them as one of my favourite bands for their first 4 albums only. It's such a tragedy. Ah well, I am going to see them in August, I just hope they play a lot of old stuff.

Metallica has never been any good, and the closest they've ever been is Kill Em All. Since their first recort release, they have only been heading down hill. Metallica is one of the worst thrash metal bands on the planet, and if you disagree you have absolutely no taste. /thread

My favorite band right along with Opeth. If their rumored concert here in Israel in September happens... I'm gonna be the happiest man in the world.

I never made that claim but it doesn't take a degree in music theory to know when a band has no musical integrity.

Pretty much everyone in this thread says that they are failures, I'm just pointing out that it wasn't really a turning point at any particular album. They've been lack-luster from the begining, and have only dropped to low-quality pop-rock from there.

The last Metallica album I liked was The Black Album, back in those days they were probably one of the best bands around. Now they're just meh IMO.

I got modded for saying that their material after the Black album is garbage. I'll say it again. They've gone way downhill. I think they're a group of uptight, wealthy and greedy rockstars ridden with fame and their own self-importance. They were so much better in the days that Cliff was still with them.

They used to be alright; the only album is really like is S&M, the live one they did with the SF Symphony Orchestra.

The string/brass/woodwind parts really added to their material.

Oh, I love metallica (Ride the lightning, Master of puppets, ...And justice for all) But after the black album, it's all crap. I don't even really like the black album. My brother says that metallica tried to go alternative. Well, unless they stop being money obsessed morons, I'm not even gonna give it a listen.

I don't know. I still refuse to believe that St. Anger was really Metallica. It had to be a prank or a sick joke.

Anyways, Rock Sound and Hammer both said it sounds kind of like "...And Justice for All" which would be amazing.
