what the f*ck does being a newbie have to do with this topic. he's right. metallica rules. youre just a whiny little b*tch who is pissed off because you cant use napster anymore. if you just listened to metallica, maybe you might like them, but your head's too far up your @$$.

^If you dont like a band, listening to them again isn't just going to magically change your opinion on them. If he doesnt like Metallica, Im sure he has a reason to, its not just that no one else likes them so he doesn't.

edit: Sorry, I just realised this was adidasss's thread in the first place... Hmm, so his reasons for hating Metallica are a bit off... Ive said this before and Ill say it again, you should hate a band because of the music, not because of some argument involving the members.

It would be kind of stupid just to say that Metallica played better music when they were drunk, but I believe it's more than that. I think that back when Metallica was startin out, they actually played their music because they loved to. Now I think that they just play just to get a fat paycheck... It shows in their music...

I dont, they've lost more fans than they've gained with St Anger... Thanks to all the sell-out comments anyway.. I agree their earlier stuff is way better, but I dont think its gotten worse because they want money, they've just lost their edge a bit after all the years...

and as i've stated many, many times on this thread before, i don't like their music and i've stated why i hate them and don't respect them as musitians ( "alternative" musitians ), i think st. anger is really really weak ( quality wise ), i liked some mettalica songs back in 97 98 i think, unforgiven 1 and 2, but that was not nearly enough to make me wanna listen to more...

Haha. classic.

People have been hating Metallica for years. And from reading all these posts, I think probably 99% of the haters aren't even familiar with Metallica's music before 1991. I'd judge a band when they were at their peak, not when they withering away. It's too easy and fashionable to hate >90s Metallica.

2 things stupid, quit hijacking likes from animated television series and if nothings changed than in your opinion St. Anger is on par with Master of Puppets...im I hearing that right?

I agree, I haven't heard anyone here mention anything about Kill Em All. Anestesia was one of the best bass solos that Cliff Burton ever did. Does anyone remember Whiplash? That song f#@king rocked! Or what about Ride the Lightning? Fade to Black, anyone remember that? You can't judge Metallica by what they did in the 90's. They came out in 83 for Christs Sakes! I don't hate Metallica, I choose not to listen to anything after Master Of Puppets because they betrayed themselves, and their fans. They said they would never go mainstream, and never make videos. I have nothing against bands that do this, but if you say something you stick to it. They had beliefs, and when they went against what they believed, I stopped listening to anything new that they put out. I still listen to Kill Em All, Ride the Lightning, and Master of Puppets because they are excellent music. And BTW, without Metallica, metal today wouldn't be the same. So hey, if you don't like them based on what they've done in the 90's, more power to ya. But I suggest at least listening to some of the older stuff before you come out saying they suck!!! :usehead: Sorry I wrote so much everyone.

I agree with everything else you wrote, but this was a little odd... They didnt exactly turn mainstream, and even if you think they did, I doubt it was out of choice. Didnt you say before in another thread something about "never judge music by the antics of the people who play it"? Hmm... Anyway. Not my place to judge, I just think you might be missing out on something because of this whole 'they chose to go mainstream' thing...

I wouldnt stop listening to everything after Master of Puppets just because you think they chose to go mainstream, is all. If you listen to it and still dont like it, then fair dos.

To be fair they took a hell of a lot of stick over the And Justice For All album and rightly so.
That was their first major label album & they were all over MTV , It was supposed to be the album that made them huge , but it didn`t. Maybe it was because of all the over exposure it got , but I have a feeling it was more down to the overlong boring songs & terrible production. Maybe a lot of people don`t realise this now having seen the Metallica of the 90s but they lost a hell of a lot of their fan base over that album.

that's cuz thats not their best stuff. most metallica haters like you have only heard a few ultra-popular songs by them that arent that great. listen to songs from kill 'em all, ride the lightning, master of puppets, ...and justice for all.

btw, file sharing still exists and it is very easy. napster was one of many sources for downloading music. i dont see why people have to hate metallica when they can still get illegal music for free.

i remember seeing an interview with metallica on headbangers ball before and justice for all was released, and they were saying something along the lines of how they would never make a video because it takes away from the ideas of the songs. bam, next thing you know and justice for all is released and they make a video for "one". the next album-the black album, just about every song on that album had a video. Its pretty obvious their whole perception of the music and what they were trying to accomplish changed somewhere during that time period.

Krosstika 06-23-2005 05:58 PM
Metallica are excellent,right from the offset they produced a fine album 'Kill Em All' which was superb,loved 'Ride The Lightning' and 'Master of Puppets' etc but as for there aftermath of the Blackened tour the produced 'Reloaded'....it was just rubbish,did'nt like that in the slightest! from then onwards they went downhill for me and for many other fans.
and i'll admit that i said to myself 'i hate Metallica now' and like a complete idiot that i was i sold my 'Live Sh!t Binge and Purge' box set...Gaaahhh!!! i want it back with a vengance! :ar_15s: coz to be honest i loved that!

MetalGod 07-07-2005 06:49 PM
metallica rules.....(before load/reload)
the black album rocked,
justice was awesome,
puppets was killer,
ride the lightning kicked ass,
kill em all was ****ing insane(in a good way)

MyOwnEulogy 07-07-2005 07:08 PM
New Metallica = Corporate A$$Holes.
Old Metallica = Inspiration to the World of Rock

anticipation 07-07-2005 07:29 PM
metallica have always been and will always be chumps.










thats not to say that their music is not influential, its just bad.

phoenixflames 07-07-2005 08:03 PM
I can see why people like them and why people dislike them. I have had some limited exposure to them and their music (including watching the "Cliff 'Em All" video), and I'm just not impressed. I have one of their CD's (the Black Album), but only because I found it in a dumpster. To me they seem like one of those bands that have just lived too long and are seemingly in it for the money.

sigh...listen there is nothing to argue about, with limited exposure you can't judge, and they are one the greatest bands to ever preform. See a live show.

Merkaba 07-08-2005 04:52 AM
thank god for the band coz the vocalist does them no favors, his voice sux, its the same tone for eeeeeeeevvvvvvvvreeeerrrry single song. that same boring growl. Why couldnt they have someone interesting on vocals, someone that complements the music a little bettter. Because Metallica is actually a great band until that guy starts singing

|AOD|Taciturnus 07-08-2005 06:56 AM
The Person that wrote that is the biggest fish of all time
 
I've got to stick up for my bands m8. Metallica are one of the greatest bands of all time. Their music is ****en awsome. U know it, and i know it. Why would u rip them off. I"m sure if they knew about your post they'd send their monkey minions (which they paid for by ****ing up napster) and hell beasts to kill u. There are plenty of other p2p networks going. Napster is gone. GET THE **** OVER IT. metallica are rich because they are penny picking bastards. AS ALL RICH PPL ARE. You'd have to be, wouldnt ya. They make money for their music, AND THEY DESERVE EVERY LAST CENT OF IT. All opposers of metallica must end up in the depths of hell where cliff burton (dead metallica bassist) and bon scott (Dead ACDC Singer) will whip your arse and drive u to slavery for all eternity bitches.

Finally, **** you! Try it bitches, come after me, I am after all OF WOLF AND MAN!

|AOD|Taciturnus 07-08-2005 07:01 AM
P.S. "that guy" (James Hetfield) that sings does good for a metal band. Tell me (and i'd be happy to know and would take it in if you could tell me) how someone complements a metal band. isnt it all yelling and screaming with occassional voiced parts. Hardy singing in the first place. LOL.

Well, I believe I have enough exposure to them to judge. I just meant that I wasn't some huge fan. That video had plenty of live performances on it (which were boring to me). I don't think going to one of their shows would change my mind, plus I wouldnt want to pay for it. I don't really find their music that exciting either. Vocals are not my type and are slightly repetitive. I also think that alot of their songs are too similar to each other, but if I liked their sound, I'm sure I would be glad for that. A couple of their guitar intros are cool, but other than that, its mostly blah to me. As I said, I can see why people like them, but I just don't. I'm not trying to join this flamewar, I'm just posting my opinion.

EddyEdwards 07-08-2005 08:02 AM
Only great rock band to really come out of the 80's really. I wouldn't call them Metal.

Fenixpunk 07-08-2005 11:09 AM
i think they were metal up untill and justice for all, then they started to definetly tone down, possibly due to lack of boozing it up like they did in the old days. Kill em All, Ride the Lightning, and Master of Puppets are i think some of the best metal back then. Not the hardest, and not even the tightest (the back and forth solos were pretty choppy back then, they tried to keep up with bands like Slayer, and even if they were equally as talented which i dont think they were, they werent as tight as slayer was). I still think that metallica now days are overrated because people still think of them as the music they started out making which is nothing like the garbage they put out now.

All i said was he's boring, ok maybe a bit more, but my main point was hes boring.Boring boring boring boring. Listening to silence is more entertaining than thats guys voice.

Metal_Warrioress 07-09-2005 12:03 AM
They had a sound...they lost it...but i still like em...except lars

EddyEdwards 07-09-2005 05:16 AM
I was kind of impressed when Lars took action against Sony Records when they tried to sue a band called "Beatallica".

TheBig3 07-09-2005 09:19 AM
Yeah I can't take it anymore, this thread exhausts me. Lots of bands put out crap in the end of their career. You don't **** all over them. They are one of the best bands ever, I havn't the time to fight with the cred starved.

Now those are REAL musicians, not, to paraphrase Kurt Cobain ,"corporate **** metal" that is Metallica.
p.s.: not to mention that they're real bitches in real life...i saw this documentary about them, and they were all talking about their feelings like some women...you won't see Zach de la Rocha or Cedric Bixler speaking about how " they've really grown as people and went through some tuff times but have talked about it and grew stronger.." yada yada...
i cudnt b arsed to read this but metallica rox napster sux

Well....Yes! Metallica do have alot of money! but how the **** would you feel if you hadnt even finished writing a ****ing song in the studio and then you find out its being played over the radio across America? Metallica sued Napster not becuase they didnt want to lose money, but it was for control!

So stick that up your ass mother ****er!

adidasss 07-23-2005 12:11 PM
i think napster and other p2p programs are a great way for you to make sure you're not buying crap. it's ok for a band that's just starting to be against downloading music because everyone wants to become rich, but when you have a shitload of money like metallica does they have no buisnesss fighting a program which has the sole purpose to spread the word about good music
musitians should be awarded for making good music, but i think that leading a campagne against free exchange of music is wrong for artists who have record deals and are getting payed a lot of money to make an album regardless of it's sales
in any case, true metallica fans will always buy an album so , they shouldn't be bothered to even think about the people who only download and never buy one....
they should do a crazy gesture and maybe produce an album and just let everyone download it for free, they would loose a bit of money ( far less if they acctualy published the album on cd's and then distributed them for free ) but it would show that they like making music for music sake , not to make a couple of more milions....and i think that musitians that have to be locked up in a studio for a year or more, strugling to make something, should just stop making music, the inspiration has obviously gone and all they're doing is raping the music.....and trying to make more money......making music should be a breeze....not a struggle....
i shall say this again, the new metallica is " corporate cock rock"
