New Metallica SINGLE is OUT

[markD]

Real Metallica?

Metallica is a group of musicians writing music. Not individuals barred to write thrash music for brats who can't let go of the 80's.

clearly you still LOVE metallica. that's cool. everyone is entitled to love which bands they prefer. as was said above, it appears you are still in the minority. i WANT to still like metallica, but in MY opinion, their songwriting skills have gone down the toilet.

i DO not want metallica to keep releasing MOP. i like load and reload just fine. the metallica album i listen to the the covers album they did. i really like their take on those songs.

something i continually fail to understand is WHY you make snippy, bitchy comments about other people's opinions of music, specifically metallica. i have been here a long time and haven't seen much if ANY metallica love on this board. whether or not it is because people are stuck in the 80's or because they, like me, hate the songwriting is irrelevant, because we are all entitled to think what we want.

anyway, i'll say it again, parts of it seem okay....but i still think they are TRYING too hard to be something they aren't. but what do i know?

I dunno... I listened to the song at least 10 times and it isn't bad at all IMO. Is it the greatest thing I've ever heard? Nope, but it is growing on me. I definitely like the heavier part better than the first half of the song. I also don't (can't) believe this is the final mix. It is clipping badly in spots and doesn't sound all that polished. Even St. Anger had a better mix, and that was supposed to sound "raw". This is probably just a teaser... Maybe it is two songs spliced together?

All in all, it is alot better than most of the stuff that passes for "metal" these days.

Metallica Death Magnetic - 2008 Album most likely to be downloaded and deleted

Wha? Anyone hear the new Testament for example...now THAT'S METAL!!!

I can't keep up with the amount of awesome metal these days. Metallica has been completely insignificant in the metal world for TWO decades. They were cool from '83 to '90..SEVEN years. I've been on this forum longer than that!

They got too old fat and lazy for much too long and it bit 'em in the ass. This is like a fat, lazy Michael Phelps 30 years from now that drowned in a kiddie pool trying to show off to his grandkids.

As much as Dave Mustaine gets shit here these days..he's got to be laughing his ass off. If he's not..he should be.

I like Trivium way better than Meatallica..and that's not saying much at all!

..Fuggums.

This is not a commercial but…
For those of you with XM Satellite Radio go to channel 51; channel 51 is now the
"Mandatory Metallica" channel. They're playing new tracks mixed in with the rest of the bands complete library...plus you'll hear hard to find stuff as well. This morning they played a live Metallica version of Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Tuesday's Gone" including John Popper of Blues Traveler with a nice harmonica solo.

Heard it on the radio during my lunch break. I didn't enjoy it at all. When the heavy part kicked in I think it sounded like some reworked riffs from "Wherever I May Roam" and "One". The "Mandatory Metallica" on the radio every hour was bad enough, now they'll be playing this every hour. Glad I don't listen to the radio very often.

crap

I listened to it again, and I think Kirk gave up halfway through the solo because he just plays the "wank as fast as possible down the fretboard" lick from Seek and Destroy.

This is almost like a self-parody. Dreadful.

Metallica would be a little better nowadays if they did do something like that.

I know everybody has their own expectations and tastes, but I really think alot of you guys listened to this with a negative attitude right from the get-go. It's not that bad! Tough crowd...

And Bill... Trivium?! You're kidding right?
