Look man, much like me..Lars and Crew were %100 devote METALHEADS. "Metal"lica was born when James and Lars met in a heavy metal parking lot. Do you see what came of THAT devotion? Something pretty fuggin' good right? Fuck food on the table, or coke up the nose. Britney fuggin' Spears does the same thing.Originally posted by velkan View Postits funny to see that, every thread about Metallica there is always someone saying "i hate Metallica"... is great to see the love and the hate that Metallica generate since they started ! i just dont understand why people call them "sellouts"... music is their job, the put food on the table for being professional musicians, and being a professional musician you have to deal with contracts and everything related... if Metallica are sellouts, every single professional musician in this world is. You cant eat if you dont earn with your job, matter of speech...
Well, you need uptight fucksticks like myself to keep metal pure, true and kickin'. They believed in that once upon a time. But the $$$ got too good with their newfound MTV success (Def Lep). It was no longer about the "Metal" in "Metal"lica ..hence, they sold out. That's pretty simple math..I think.
Also, upon quick review of your 11 posts. You seem to me a bit forthcroming for a noob with your wants, needs and gotta haves. This is a merit I truly respect! But respect must be earned ..on forums, in real life and in my world. Welcome to my world.

"forthcoming" is good or bad? sometimes i dont understand some english words... sorry =/
i'm here because i love Jackson guitars, they are my favorite guitar company although i dont own one anymore ( i had a JS kelly 3 years ago ) but as soon as i get some income i WILL satisfy my GAS for some models =P
but i'm also a huge Metallica fan, i listen to Metallica since the day i was born (my big brother was a huge Metallica back then, so there was no lullabye crap for me hehe) and i understand their importance and influence in today's Metal music, and i just honestly think its unfair some remarks people have made over the years... dont get me wrong, i understand why people got so pissed about load, re-load, st.anger crap...but nothing is perfect, every band has their good and bad moments, thats all!! i mean this no direspect for people's opinions, everyone is entitled to their own =)
but this is going a little off topic, i apologize for this... this is about JH and his work as a guitarist! which is a great work...
cheers!"i dont need to pick the strings... i SCREAM at them!"

i know its Internet, i'm not new to this... maybe i'm being naive but i dont believe that Internet is an excuse for people being rude (not saying that you guys were) because if many foruns were debated in a live environment (somewhat like the ancient type) people would act differentely and they would have much more respect... i guess... like i said, maybe i'm being naive... or stupid lol, sorry again for the off topic guys!"i dont need to pick the strings... i SCREAM at them!"

Exactly..we are actually on the same page. It's all good. Like I've said so many times years ago to others. A bad opinion or dislike of a band/amp/ect..is not a personal attack.Originally posted by velkan View Post
Nothing wrong liking Metallica..I have and listen to everything including black. Metallica is not the only metal band I had a problem with during the 90's. Unfortunately, many bands jumped ship as well..including the better knowns ..Queensryche, Dokken, Lynch Mob, Loudness, Crimson, Glory, Fates Warning, "Risk"..Black Sabbath with Ice T (WTF) ect..all trying to find their indentity in a "Nu" world. That had to be tough, but many bands stayed true to their hardcore fans (me) ..therefore I stayed true to them. Not long ago Metal shows were very small intimate rituals. Metal was/is my only sanctuary from a world of mainstream poop...like The Jonas Bros with their fuggin' hit song "Mmmmmmbop" !
Anywhoo, welcome to the club man.
Don't worry, I'm "forthcoming" as it gets. It's just a blunt way of saying things. I like that.
I just think lesser known but amazing bands derserve more exposure and attention.

Since we were talking about cool! The chorus though, i think the verse is just old and kinda boring, but the guitar and vocal combination on the chorus is SICK! (the verse is scream but the chorus is clean, for all you screamo/death growl haters)I hooked up my accelerator pedal in my car to my brake lights. I hit the gas, people behind me stop, and I'm gone.Comment

love Scar Symmetry! It's a shame the singer left
my favourite song would be Deviate From The Form. It was a bonus track on Pitchblack Progress. Cool riff, great chorus, ripping extended solo(s).....Last edited by VitaminG; 06-19-2009, 02:34 AM.Hail yesterdayComment
