Jimmy, your loyalty is to be commended. I'm a big believer in maintaining the faith. My footy team has sucked the last couple of years, but I stick with them. I kinda went off Iron Maiden for a few years there, but I still enjoyed their older stuff & refused to rag on them for what they were doing now (at the time). And I got back onboard with the last couple of albums.

But with so much excellent arse-kicking new metal out these days, I couldn't give a rats arse what Metallica do next. It's not like I've completely abandoned the older bands. I still look forward to hearing what Anthrax, Exodus, Living Colour, Iron Maiden, Dokken & a bunch of other old bands can still come up with.

As far as expectations for Metallica's next album? I care about as much as I do for Axl's new one. Not a whit

Wow, that could, possibly, be pretty sweet! I just hope they don't regress and that they don't try to stay "safe"! They need to loosen it up and get hardcore again!!!

Damn...yee of little faith. Or is it yees since it's a few of you? Eh, I think this is gonna be good. I'm not hoping for a new Justice of Master of Puppets cause I ain't livin in the past, I'm just hoping for some decent music. I know they have it in them, it just takes their producer to bring it out. In my opinion, ya can't get worse than St. Anger, so anything better will be an improvement

Re: New METALLICA Album To Be Produced by....

Dom't get me wrong, I care 100 times more about Slaeysr new one, and Tool's new one, and holy shit, I thought I hated the new Metallica, but you guys are harsh. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
St. Angwer was pure garbage, but I honestly think (hope) that they have something goood left in them. Maybe. Let's hope for the best, and have Slayer waiting for us WHEN Metallica fuck up AGAIN.

Re: New METALLICA Album To Be Produced by....

Little faith? Yep. I'll freely admit it. Sure, I'll listen to the album all the way through when they release it (as I did with St. Anger, God Hates Us All, and the last two Megadeth records) and decide if I'm buying it or I'm deleting the mp3s and not buying it. My interests haven't changed, it is the bands that have and I'm not going to purchase (or support) an album that I think is crap just because I happen to like the older records.

Re: New METALLICA Album To Be Produced by....

Slayer has never put out an album that sucked. Both Megadeth and Metallica have!

Re: New METALLICA Album To Be Produced by....

Nice info.
Good to know they're still a band. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
Yeah, their last one was to me (I'm a fan) pathetic at best, in other words, the worst tallica I've ever heard to this day.
I'm glad I didn't buy it or I would have been really disgusted.

The producer? Rick Rubin means nothing to me.
Most don't have the balls to tell them the song sucks, or, the guys would most likely disregard any constructive comments and consider it negative/hate and dismiss it.
Its the guys that ultimately decide what goes on the new album.

New stuff?
Not sure what to expect really.
Anything has to got to be better then the last one, hopefully. But thats what I though with load and reload and it just kept getting worse.
Its one of those wait and see scenarios.
One can only hope for, in your face Metallica we have come to love for years metal tunes. Get back to what works, stick with what your good at, and leave songs like from the last album alone. By the way(imo) one of the main things that caused the last album to sound awful, was the sound of the drums. Man, in nearly ever song the sound of the drums were pitiful. Very distracting.

Fuck Slayer, how much they can repeat themselves?????

I'm exited about Bob Rock doing a new Motley Crue album, now that's the thing I've been waiting for.

As for Metallica, I'm exited about that too. But Bob Rock is 10 times better than Rick Rubin ever will be.

+1 on all of the quotes above.

They can have the worst producer in the industry and it won't make them better or worse. Yeah, a producer like any other person outside the band can motivate them, just like Rock did on the Black Album. That album was a classic, productionwise and the songwriting.

They've changed. Their style is something totally different now. They're not the thrashers they used to be, end of story. They have something totally different buzzing around. I really think they should produce one more good album, at least to Load's standards (as I think thats' the best they could possibly squeeze out) and retire.

I'll back up to any degree that S&M was a kickass project. Whoever wrote the parts for the orchestra (I do believe that was Michael Kaimen) did a fantabulous job. There were some songs on there that should not have been, but for the most part it was a very good idea and was pulled off very nicely. The Call of Ktulu and Master of Puppets sounded absofuckinlutely killer. No Leaf Clover was their best song written since the Black Album.

Kill'em all-Just goes to show that good playing can overpower a not-so-well produced album. I think that had more to do with little equipment than the producer himself.

Ride the Lightning-Classic. Bad production on the drums though.

Master of Puppets-Killer in almost every aspect, except slightly monotonous.

And Justice for All- What exactly did Newsted do? Coffee runner I guess? Mic placement?

Black Album- Best produced out of all. Bob Rock took their songs and added dynamics to them. Without Bob Rock, I think this Album would have flopped. The songs were actually pretty good, but could you imagine them flatlined? Fuck that!

Load- getting lazy. No chugga chugga, no sixteenths, solos were wahed out.

Reload- Except Fuel, they squoze all of the shit out of Load and put it in here. What the fuck is with the lyrics? Especially Slither, that has to be the most fucking annoying song ever. I would rather listen to the Barbie Girl song than this fucking song.

St. Anger- Return to their roots? How? Since when did they use drop D tuning down to a C? Since when did they not solo? Since when was Lars endorsed by a tupperware company?

God Hates us All? WTF man? That album was killer! What about Undisputed Aggresion? Now that album was what spawned screamo, I swear it.

Screamo came out of emo and hardcore.

Undisputed Attitude was pretty much Slayer covering the songs by bands that heavily influenced them, mostly punk and hardcore stuff. At least to a certain extent I can still hear Slayer or at least hear that sound that influenced their earlier records.

I think I just enjoyed two tracks from the God Hates Us All record, but mostly it was painful. As a review I read for the album went.. Hatebreed riffing / vocals + Slipknot Lyrics + Slayer Solos = God Hates Us All

There are at least a handful of thrash bands that are releasing / have released quality records in 2000-2006. Kreator, Destruction, Sodom all survived countless thrash acts deciding to go groove-tastic (a la Pantera). Luckily there are newer bands sprouting up here and there that are at least staying true to what thrash should sound like.

Re: New METALLICA Album To Be Produced by....

Old Metallica KICKS ASS..I still love to hear that on occassion..that will ALWAYS kick ass..BUT

We lost the faith in Metallica???? [img]/images/graemlins/bs.gif[/img]

You see, while Metal was dead here in the states during the ebonic plague of the 90's..it was NEVER dead in my heart..I had to go to european bands..sweden ..Finnland for my metal..that's where it was at!

At this time I got heavily into that whole swedish death/thrash thing ..have been for a while..At the Gates/Carcass/Arch Enemy/Dark Tranquility/old Soliwork/In Flames/Hypocrisy..yada yada..and ALL true METAL in general!!!

Once you're weened on all this stuff..the "old" stuff no matter how cool it was/is...sounds ..well .."tame" to me now.

Yes, I gave up on Metallica..it was a bitter divorce!!!!..because bands such as Exodus/Kreator/Destruction/SLAYER..and so forth still delivered the goods..BIG TIME and stayed true to me!

It was NOT "ME" who lost the faith in Metallica... Noooooooooooo [img]/images/graemlins/nono.gif[/img]..it was Metallica that lost the faith in themselves, metal and me the metalhead..THEY SOLD OUT!!

The above mentioned bands and the like stayed the course and "kept the faith", just as I have...whether YOU like these bands or not is not my concern..they did NOT sell out ..PERIOD! [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

I understand Music is a buisness...whatever and blah blah blah..who cares [img]/images/graemlins/bs.gif[/img]

BUT I'm a METALHEAD and don't give a flying FUCK about "the Buisness"!

you see the key word here is..

"M E T A L H E A D"

Metal is a marriage..for life..to me it is.

It's not MY fault or control that the bands I married stayed true or became sell-out whores.

That's MY stance 'till I die, and don't care if I stand alone! [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Re: New METALLICA Album To Be Produced by....

Inearthed...good post! [img]/images/graemlins/toast.gif[/img]

BTW..for every sell out whore that bailed on me (Metallica/Megadeth/Queensryche..ect)...1000s of AWESOME real METAL bands took their place..Brainstorm/Iced Earth/Nevermore..you know. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Now they all want to crawl back to me..because Metal is "cool" again...OK, I see..
