New Metallica SINGLE is OUT

[markD]

well, at least you are a fan boy with sense!!!! i am proud that you can openly admit that your boys are pretty lame these days. they can still put on a decent live show, but they can't write songs at all!!!!

[GodOfRhythm]

Seriously, the song is actually good.

This guy covering it, lays bare the essentials:

The part at 4:10 reminds me of Orion. The song is actually growing on me the more I listen to it.

[slash-ed]

Wow. That was shit. That's all I've got to say. Weak. Weak. Weak.

[Sidk]

I'm trying, I lose it when he sings " love is a four letter word". WTF.

Sorry guy's, I'm frickin old school. Kinda reminds me of David Lee Roth.

GodOfRyhthm..

Here's a Finnish band I've known about for 12 years or so..http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=F6KVs0...eature=related

The rest of that album is posted there too...check the links with the same cover art.

Here's their wiki page..http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Am_I_Blood

I don't have this release, but I have a couple of theirs on Nuclear Blast records. I always thought they sounded like Metallica. There's also a few more bands that do..I have to look thru my stuff to recall 'em tho..

[horns666]

Weird..I have AM I Blood's first three. In the early 90's they were known as ST MUCUS..

They seemed to have a Load/Reload sound thru the mid to late 90's. I don't have their last The Truth Inside the Dying Sun (2005), the one posted on youtube. But I know exactly where to get a used copy for 5 bucks..I'm there!!

I actually wonder If Metallica knew about them, well I did. I was showing my freind an old '82 Cirith Ungol song and he .."Holy shit, that's "Orion"..that's what I thought, and why I put it on.

Bill, I found out about Am I Blood years ago before St. Wanker came out... The song Gone With You off of TTITDS was being passed off as leaked new Metallica at the time... I knew it was too good to be true, and finally someone identified the song. I kept up on them for a while, but I guess they gave up the ghost as their site hasnt been updated since Jan 06'. Shame, they had ALOT of potential too.

[horns666]

Ahhhh Ok Rob. Yeah, I could see somebody doing that. I'd take AIB over anything Metallica has done since black. Our memeber Ben was asking me for bands that sounded like Metallica/Megadeth @ my thread. So I was going thru my collection. Being that I was in the A section it took me seconds to be reminded of AM I BLOOD. So I youtubed them..and well, there they were.

Like I said there is other bands that really sound like Metallica..Aversion sounds like HTL era..but that came out around '91. Also another band called Blackend..they have two on Massacre. While bands like Metallica, Queenryche, Dokken ect was alseep at the wheel during the 90's-early 00's. There was PLENTY of bands that gladly picked up where they left off!

No I wasn't joking about Trivium. My son loves them. I said in an earlier thread. I'll often hear my son playing a pretty killer riff and I'll go "what's that??".."That's Trivium dad"..ohhhh. These kids are young, and full of piss and vinegar. They could cover Metallica's complex songs with no prob..not the other way around.

It reminds me when Extreme came out and covered VH live back in '89/'90. VH couldn't handle an early Extreme song like "do ya wanna play"..even when they were on their game.

That goes to show I always had my finger on the Metal/Shred pulse since the 80's. That's different from being stuck in the 80's. I watched it evolve from Black Sabbath...and I have most of it in my library.

Why does everyone expect Metallica to still be angry teenagers?

Why does everyone expect Metallica to still be angry teenagers?

well, I'm still an angry teenager..a bald one..with hair on my back..and in my nose...with back pain...and neck pain..and I can't ever poop right.. But I still can play metal..and better than I did when I was a real teenager.

..and metal was never my day job. It was a part time gig and hobby.

I dunno..why don't you ask Metallica. They're the ones writing those lyrics, those riffs, playing their old songs, and tryin' to come off as a metal band that found their roots ..and tryin' to poop.

No, seriously. I mean, once you've made a few million dollars from music, your whole perspective changes, so the things you were angry about (being poor, "the system", etc etc) are washed away by the sea of green, so what do you get angry about?

Guns-n-Roses are the perfect example: Appetite For Destruction was a brutal album that was made by poor, angry, and hungry kids. They got rich from it. Stinkingly so.
WHat happened? They were no longer poor and hungry, so they softened up.


So Metallica don't view the world the same way they did at 18. They grew up. Where's the problem?
