So Your telling me load , reload , ST ANGER = Amazing musicanship ?
what ? dont you want another great thrash metal album from metallica ? or do you want another load,reload,st anger.
Yes i want another master of puppets. But i doubt they will ever do one. i guess money is more important to them then playing music now. or maybe they just lost it. RIP Cliff Burton
"Yes i want another master of puppets. But i doubt they will ever do one. i guess money is more important to them then playing music now. or maybe they just lost it."
What the hell? Such nonsense.
There is never gonna be another Master of Puppets calibre album produced by them. Recognise that. Just because there won't, no reason to diss them all the damn time. I liked Load, Reload was iffy and St. Anger, while not up to par, was nowhere near as bad as people seem. Why? Coz I wasn't sitting there thinking "Oh those Metallica boys better churn out another M.O.P or there'll be trouble." No, I was just grateful that they got their lives straightened out and didn't die the typical rock star deaths, because believe it or not, I like having Metallica alive and well. If the sacrifice is that we don't get another Master of Puppets, I'll make that sacrifice.
Money is more important? Since when? Lars likes his money, so what? They've never compromised theirselves. Napster wasn't about that, Napster was about people taking the music they made and putting it out for everyone to just take, for free. Metallica's music is nobody elses to give but their own. They are great musicians and they also have to make a living.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, see them live and realise that NOTHING has changed besides their album nature. Metallica rule. Get over it.

You mean you will enjoy for example Snoop dogg doing a song on that album .?
I'd love to know where the **** you got that idea from, seeing as I have yet to mention anything about the artists themselves yet.
But no, I would not enjoy Snoop Dogg covering Metallica, but you wanna know something real special? There are actually some good rappers out there, artists who have just as much, and in some cases more passion and fire than Metallica used to. El-P, Slug and Chuck D would have my full support if they decided to resurrect a Metallica song. Just imagine a big chunky Wu-Tang Clan version of Am I Evil, or Dan The Automator turning Enter Sandman into a flipped out creepy trip-hop song. Considering we have no idea what artists will be working on this, who's to say it won't be good.
I don't see what their target audience is by making this album. Let's face it.. the majority of Metallica fans aren't going to want to listen to a Hip Hop album, and the majority of Hip Hop fans aren't going to want to listen to a Metallica tribute. I'll give it a try.. I just don't get who they are planning to sell this to.

Then we will have to wait to see who will be on that album.
But i doubt it will be someone good i think they might pick some mainstream rappers just to sell more records.
snoop dogg did a cover of sad but true on MTV Icon and it was awful. i hope they dont let him distroy another classic.
So let's just hope that they have GOOD performers for thie tribute album and not shit like Snoop Dogg. Basically I'll quote what Deathblow said as it's what I think.

"so people will remember them as The Mighty Metallica."Yeah, the mighty Metallica who retired because some people expect another Master of Puppets, right?
Metallica aren't, nor have they ever been, crap. They had a below par last album. That's all. They're amazing musicians.
Quit acting like they owe you something.

That is exactly how i feel.
I hate how people think Load and Reload were alot of bullsh*t, so they decide to try something different for once... OMFG they are loosing it!! they have gone all "mellow" as someone said in skom (i cant remember who right now im to tired)
"omg i lost my virginity to Master of Puppets, i want Master of Puppets for the rest of my life"
that just shows how shallow some people are in their musical tastes. I hate people who think they are all hard "oh yeah i listen to Metallica im a true hardcore metal fan im so cool" but now theyre not cool anymore because they arent writing stuff as fast and as heavy as songs like Whiplash or their early stuff anymore.
some people need to open their eyes and get a f*cking grip.
No shit. I love Master of Puppets, it is by far my favorite Metallica album...but I also recognize that they probably will not be able to release an album of that quality again, and I don't expect it from them. If they release a crap album, well, they release a crap album, and I don't like them any less because of it. If anything, because they decided to try something different and failed, I liked them more, just because they tried.
But yeah. People need to stop going "OMG their album was crap they suuuuuck!!!", look at the bigger picture, recognize that even the best of bands can make a mediocre album, and STFU.
People need to get lives, honestly.
So you weren't satisfied with St. Anger and such, fine. Deal with it.
For crying out loud they are still amazing musicians. Why do I think this? Coz I saw them live on the St. Anger tour and they still owned the building, the stage and the night. They have a way of being awesome like that. I wasn't standing there saying "Hmm well, the album kinda sucks."
