metallica bitches

[Ben reed]

i figured since we were all talking about metallica in the ac/dc thread we should have a tallica thread:)

i reckon s&m was the best idea ever and they all play rly well in it
and i love james's vocals more than any other time

[Infiction]

you realise deep purple did it like 30 years before?
even so, a solid effort.
their last good album.

[Ben reed]

deep purple...pfft
but yeah it was goooooood

[Craigels]

yay, Metallica thread!

s&m was a great idea. Although I haven't heard heaps of Tallica i like the Live Shit discs especially Seek and Destroy.

[Grumma]

well they've only released once since lol.

I Disappear is a pretty sweet song though.

Only problem I have with S+M is the lack of pre-Black songs in the setlist

[Ben reed]

...and justice for all would have been awesome for s&m!

[Infiction]

well they've only released once since lol.

I Disappear is a pretty sweet song though.

Only problem I have with S+M is the lack of pre-Black songs in the setlist

studio albums yeah.

there's a few in there.
for whom the bell tolls, one, battery etc.

[Ben reed]

hey infiction i like your picture
good shit
daveGOD grohl rocks

[Shadow]

Well, having listened to Death Magnetic - they're definitely back on form - and I liked St. Anger (so shoot me :p). Definitely more old-school style than St. Anger ever was.

S&M is a great live album, his clean vocals there are the best they ever were (and will be), but for grit and growl you need Live Shit: Binge & Purge - easily the era when Hetfield was in his prime (well, probably more like '89 - '92 / '93 was the prime).

I agree with the call about pre-Black songs on the S&M set, though I heard they tried doing Fade to Black when they were working with the orchestra but they just couldn't make it work. Sanitarium would've been sweet, too. But some straight up songs like Seek or Whiplash it just doesn't gel with the strings... though I would love to see them try Whiplash with a string section (bahaha).

Anyone else heard the DM leak yet? I need to talk with SOMEONE about it!

[Kev]

daveGOD grohl rocks


Correct. Dave Grohl > Metallica.



They were boring as batshit at the Big Day Out, but I had seen them in about 1995 at Melbourne Park (Rod Laver) and they were great.

St. Anger was crap. And their cover of 53rd & 3rd was fucking woeful. I wanted to stab my ears out with a blunt instrument.

Haha. When he whips that hair around while headbanging, that's quite a sight. Four hairy whips flying around while he scoots across the ground on his behind. :p

[Strider]

Their latest album was shithouse. I can't believe people rated that pile of crap. Can someone say overuse of the double kick??

[Matt]

[Fritz]

I like the new song!

[May]

http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e368/NCR600/1219687279176a.jpg

heh hard

[Chovies]

Some of the new stuff is good, I like My Apocalypse the most though.

[Infiction]

double kick is the least of st anger's problems, compared to bands like trivium or avenged sevenfold, it's pretty acceptable.

http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e368/NCR600/1219687279176a.jpg

ehh, that's pretty weak.

[Grumma]

studio albums yeah.

there's a few in there.
for whom the bell tolls, one, battery etc.

Not enough!

And too many songs like No Leaf Clover!

Would've loved to have seen Ride The Lightning, Welcome Home (Sanitarium), Leper Messiah, Disposable Heroes etc on it.
I'm sure Fade To Black would have worked if the orchestra didn't stray as far from the original like they did in songs like Master Of Puppets and One

[Habibster]

St. Anger is probably one of my favourite metallica albums. I like the kinda 'industrial' sounding thing going on there. Although the trash can does get a little annoying after a while, and some of the songs drag out a few minutes longer than they should, i still don't mind most of the songs on there.

I'm so pumped for Death Magnetic though, i quite like with My Apocalypse and Cyanide. Love the 'Suicide/i've already died' part, and i also dig most of the riffs going on in there. I feel it kinda loses its way a bit for the middle third, it's kinda like Kirk has chucked in random solos to fulfil his ego, but it's awesome nonetheless. ;)

The Day That Never Comes is my favourite Metallica song since the black album.

[Chovies]

The bass stuff at the start of Cyanide is awsome haha.

I wish they did Ride the lightning with the orchestra, that would of been AWSOME

[Ben reed]

if u want to hear a double kick played well listen to killswitch engage
great band
but i dont think many people on here will like them...

[Grumma]

And their drummer is pretty average (provided it's the dude I'm thinking of)

Definitely gotta look past Killswitch, Trivium, Avenged and SlipKnoT as far as the better metal drummers go

[Infiction]

metallica are one of the biggest bands of all time, i'm sure more then a few people here like them.

i remember saying the exact same thing about fade to black after first hearing S&M. Far too many songs from load and reload which could have been spent on their pre black albums.

[Grumma]

Fuel and Outlaw Torn are the only 2 (off the top of my head) I would've kept from those 2 albums

[Matt]

Killswitch are reaaaaal bad. Metalcore > worst crossover genre ever.

If you want xtreaaaaam drums go listen to some powerviolence or grind.

[Neo]

me <3 teh metallica

[Grumma]

Killswitch are reaaaaal bad. Metalcore > worst crossover genre ever.


The genre itself isn't bad but, like rap metal (and a couple of others), it just happens there aren't any good bands

[Infiction]

The genre itself isn't bad but, like rap metal (and a couple of others), it just happens there aren't any good bands

rage against the machine?
or if you meant metalcore, trivium kind of...

[Matt]

You might be able to convince me otherwise, but nearly every metalcore band has sounded like over-produced whiny nu-metal. But hey...

What's strange though, I fucken love metal influenced hardcore/crossover thrash (think early suicidal, cro-mags, etc.) but cannot stand hardcore influenced metal... aka... metalcore...

[Grumma]

rage against the machine?
or if you meant metalcore, trivium kind of...

They aren't really metal though (RATM), closest would be that Anthrax album they did with the rapper (no idea what it was called)

and as for Trivium: only their first album was metalcore-ish and even I don't like it that much

[Infiction]

yeah true, metal-influenced at best.
it's where they got their roots but, so i'd still count it :cool:

[Habibster]

Battery FTW!

[Grumma]

yeah true, metal-influenced at best.
it's where they got their roots but, so i'd still count it :cool:

I wouldn't :p

[Kev]

Whiskey In The Jar is where its at for me for Metallica.

I was under the influence of Alcyhol one night when I first heard it. And I was all like... DAMN.

Then I fell down the escalator at the backpacker pub thing on Elizabeth st in Melbourne.

[Infiction]

that is a pretty great cover.
shows their ability as musicians, not just as a metal act.

[The Dying Start]

Yeah, 'tallica could have been a fantastic punk band. But they're an even better Metal band!

The Four Horsemen should have been done with the orchestra!

[Ben reed]

i rly like killswitch
but i hate rap metal
worst genre ever
and as for trivium...theyre average
pretty bad actually
shit
but kudos to wiskey in the jar
good song:)

[Burner]

Well, having listened to Death Magnetic - they're definitely back on form - and I liked St. Anger (so shoot me :p). Definitely more old-school style than St. Anger ever was.


Anyone else heard the DM leak yet? I need to talk with SOMEONE about it!

Yeah i certainly agree with you there dude.


And i have also heard the DM shit floating around in teh webz and i must say i really like it. I put the album on order but i go away for a week for work, starting the day its released, so i won't be able to get it till the 22nd. I'm absolutely irate that i have to go. I want it now!

[Burner]

They aren't really metal though (RATM), closest would be that Anthrax album they did with the rapper (no idea what it was called)

It was called Bring Tha Noise and it was done with Public Enemy.

yeah, double post, so kill me.

[Ben reed]

oi there was a metallica radio thing on today and someone put it on youboob
and its hosted by dave grohl and taylor hawkins!!!!!!!
fuck yeah!
http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=F9TwSaRa6Js

its in 9 parts and thats the first part

[Grumma]

Dave Grohl should have stuck to drumming
And should never attempted that metal album he did

[Ben reed]

Dave Grohl should have stuck to drumming

BLASPHEMY!
dave grohl is god
he can do whatever the fuck he wants
probot wasnt bad
and i love hearing him sing while play the guitar

[Grumma]

the concept behind it was good, and he got a pretty diverse range of artists to lend a hand, but the end result wasn't fantastic.
and his drumming shits all over his guitar playing and singing

[Ben reed]

lol i cant rly say shit coz all that ive heard is shake your blood
but i actually rly rly like it

[Grumma]

I've heard most of them and they're kinda boring. Not the worst music you'll hear but not worth buying.

I mean, compare his use of King Diamond here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIULVRLh4e0&feature=related with Heafy's: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKOUGIcX4ds

[Ben reed]

the vocals and lyrics in the probot song suck cock
actually i think the vocals in both of them suck

[Grumma]

Diamond is a better singer than Grohl

[Infiction]

that's a pretty big statement...

and by big, i mean false!

[Grumma]

Not at all. Irrespective of which singers voice you like more Diamond is the better of the 2

[Ben reed]

fullllllll of SHITTTTTT
that diamond guy just sounds like hes yelling or talking
grohl actually sings

[Infiction]

^have to agree.
if you're talking legit singing, dave has the edge.

[Ben reed]

true that

.

[WHITE FALCON]

lol first up from reading this thread. over use of "this band is shit"
its so commonly said when really what most people mean is "i dont like this band because..."
as musicians trivium are quite good.

paicey is an amazing drummer. come on, pictures of home intro without double kick?

[Ben reed]

lol when i said pfft to deep purple it was directed at deep purple

[Ben reed]

ritchie blackmore, fuck yeah!

[Matt]

Thank Chriz-ist for that.

[WHITE FALCON]

lol pretty sure i just listened to all of death magnetic....

[Infiction]

i've been shown links to leaked copies of the new album, but i consider it quite cop out to sdo - especially when the album's only 5 days away.

[Burner]

lol pretty sure i just listened to all of death magnetic....

Its not that hard, Death Magnetic sounds very much like Metallica and is hard to be mistaken. And it only has has 10 tracks on the album, not that many.

Or maybe, you might be bragging that you got to listen to it before its release date? Thats not really something to brag about at all. I've heard tracks from 2 years ago that were possible for the album but never got past live performances, potential tracks for the album, and also B sides and demos of more than 15 songs that were in the mix for Death Magnetic.

[Chovies]

Whats special about listening to it early :p Ive had it for the past couple of days haha.

[WHITE FALCON]

hahah nah i wasnt bragging at all.
how did you listen to all that stuff burner?
i just wrote it as to say "its available" illegaly

its really fucking good
i love it
judas kiss is probs my fave.
or cyanide or end of the line
all good tracks!

[Burner]

hahah nah i wasnt bragging at all.
i just wrote it as to say "its available" illegaly



Oh, ok, i guess i just misunderstood.

how did you listen to all that stuff burner?


Sometimes, the internet can be an amazing thing.

[Grumma]

Then other times it can be as useless as a rain coat in the Sahara!

[Ben reed]

you can listen to the whole album LEGALLY here

http://www.metallica.com/index.asp?1=1&item=601231

[Shadow]

http://www.metallica.com/index.asp?1=1&item=601231
Yep, or you could go out and buy the album - most stores have it in stock as of today (12th) anyway. I got mine at JB Hi-Fi Knox. It's awesome.

[Ben reed]

yeah ill buy it when i get the chance

[Shadow]

Sometimes, the internet can be an amazing thing.
You wouldn't happen to be talking about... Mission: Metallica (http://www.missionmetallica.com), would you? I don't think that counts as hearing "potential tracks for the album, and also B sides and demos of more than 15 songs that were in the mix for Death Magnetic" - not in full, anyway. Just snippets of unreleased riffs and songs - since they've got the album up for streaming at metallica.com and M:M.

And besides, The New Song and The Other New Song were released on LiveMetallica. I'm not calling you out, just saying. Unless, i'm wrong and you've stumbled upon some serious gold.

Enjoying the album? I picked up my copy today - and waiting for my coffin box set to arrive, too. Could be a while, though.

[Strider]

New album is actually pretty good.

[Kev]

Its definetly better than St Anger.

But I feel something lacks about it. Not sure what though

[Infiction]

they've tried to fit too much into each song for my liking.
some people might enjoy waiting 2-3 minutes until a song actually finds its rhythm, but i just get bored.
the drums are too loud, there's only 2 or 3 points in the entire album where you can hear any bass at all.
lar's had gone from one extreme to the other with his snare since st anger, it comes across really heavy and solid.
and the unforgiven 3 was an obvious and weak attempt to link this to early-mid 90's metallica.
there's only so many times you can re-write the same song.

but having said that, the guitar work is awesome - the vocals and lyrics are fairly solid.
it's easily not their best work, but it still shits all over st anger.

[Strider]

Fair to say St Anger was just plain shit...The riffs and powerchords are definitely a highlight of the album, the solo's aren't quite as good as they could have been. But that's just me being extremely nitpicky :p

[Burner]

You wouldn't happen to be talking about... Mission: Metallica (http://www.missionmetallica.com), would you?

No, i wouldn't be talking about M:M. I didn't go on M:M much at all. I didn't stumble across most of it, i just knew how to get it.

And yes, i am enjoying to album immensely. Loving the vocals and the riffage. Also glad Lars toned down that snare of his. I managed to take home my copy from the music store last thursday, which was pretty cool. I sweet talked the chick into giving it to me 2 days early. (also got me a date :O) and i think it was the first 50 or something to get the album got a free DM poster.

[Neo]

I really like the judas kiss. I heard a few songs from death magnetic this morning. I really love james' vocals.

[The Dying Start]

Who doesn't? His voice gives me half a bar.

[Neo]

I mean on this CD more than ever :)

[The Dying Start]

Sounds like it's gonna be dangerous for me then...

[Burner]

You would probably come in your pants before the first song is finished then Glenn.
