"i wasnt referring to the older stuff"

In that case I'm inclined to agree with you.

But...Mustaine is too big of an immature prick to have ever stayed in Metallica, much less maintain a good relationship with his own band. If Dave wasn't such an *******, we may have had even better songs from Metallica. But no matter. Dave has Megadeth, and he can still bitch about being kicked out of Metallica.....and Metallica will do what they've been doing the last 20 years, and continue to ignore him.

for that matter, im pretty sure that having Dave Mustaine leave Metallica and create Megadeth was a good thing. It brought up another good metal band into our musical interests. People seem to say that without James, metallica would be better. It's opposite for megadeth, without Mustaine, megadeth would be nothing.

My favorite Metallica songs used to be stuff like Nothing Else Matters, Enter Sandman, ..And Justice For All, and all the other stuff with cool riffs that's fun to learn on the guitar. But now, that new song that's out, "The Day that Never Comes", is not only fun on the guitar, but the vocals are the best I've ever heard coming from that man. The song combines the best vocals of Metallica with guitar as complex and beautiful as Classical Gas.

This is just my opinion, I don't knw if anybody else agrees with me.

I agree with most of that.
Saying Metallica would be better without James is....absurd, however.
James' vocals may not be as great as they used to be, but having anyone else sing for Metallica........I don't think I could bare to listen to it.

that's what im saying. i mean imagine having Dustin Kensrue (lead singer of Thrice) singing for Metallica, admittadly it'd be pretty interesting but at the same time, it just wouldn't be the same. Metallica is good the way they are, even if their old stuff is slightly better, i do think the amount of experience for the guitarist have increased in their new album however.

Hell, I can't bear to download another rip....damned dial up. Wish I had em' though. But yeah, Kirk practiced alot for this album....and it shows up. He may not have done solos on St. Anger, but he definately didn't stop practicing.

Alright, I can't stand it anymore...
If anyone has that rip and it's under 80mb, link me please. I can barely stand to listen to this CD....it's horrible sound compression almost ruins it.
