Hahaha, I couldn't bear to watch it. But I like Flotsam & Jetsam a lot, and I love watching his live performances with Metallica, especially the San Diego dvd... I think he just made a great bass player for the band and really suited them well, and I think he was a much better all-around musician in terms of scope and creativity than the other members. That one career hiccup with Supernova pales in comparison IMO to what Metallica has been doing lately.

Albums are static. You can go listen to them again and again. If you self-identify with a band and you don't like the direction their going in, thats your issue. I tend to go with artists who's artisitc outlook is similar to what I'd do if I could paint/play guitar/act. Even if they bomb, I still find it entertaining at least. Metallica like what their doing, and if they make another "Kill 'em all" I know I'll be bored. The assertion of a receeding amount of respect is curious, why would you lose respect for them? I'm guessing maybe you meant another word because what no one should respect is them doing whatever their childish fans scream at them to do. I don't particularly agreee with the high art/coke days where Hammett and Ulrich wanted to reinvent the band like U2 did, but theres a reason I'm not in Metallica

Metallica died to me after 1991, and nothing made that more clear than attending their recent show at GM Place on the Death Magnetic tour. It was fun to sing along and watch the pyrotechnics, but the performance and new tunes were lacklustre (Lamb of God put them to shame), not to mention how 1 in 10 of people attending were wearing shirts they hadn't bought at the show or the day before. Real metal fans know where the good stuff is, and it wasn't there that day. No amount of discussion is going to dissuade me otherwise. |
