Metallica Sucks

[InHouston]

Shit, I don't buy any of this diatribe. Metallica's drummer already publicly admitted (several times) that his stance against Napster was a mistake, and he just had a knee-jerk emotional reaction to a change in technology he didn't fully understand at the time.

Metallica is pure unadulterated, in your face, grab you by the nutts rock & roll, and is far better than the whiney pussy-shit pop-rock music that has saturated the music industry for the past decade. They're here to stay.

Enjoy your poor taste in music. Metallica are shit face it, they act like fucking assholes and they keep on producing shit. I mean there are alot of other bands out there at this moment that are better than them.

Coldplay
Bloc Party
System of a Down
Slipknot
Blood Stain Child
Stone Sour

etc.

@ Trans Mission: Not really willing to get the gist, are we? Long story short:
para 1 - others may suck in their own way, the 'Tallica boys beat'em with their attitudes and non-musical history.
para 2 - they're just in it for the money. If some band (you needn't know) got a strong reaction by changing style to your brilliant deathcore, I can imagine how the Metallica fans are doing.

@ rawrr: Need we really give names? I mean... one man's treasure, another man's trash, I don't see anything great about that list.

You internet Metallica haters are the dumbest mother fuckers that have ever lived I swear. Not only did the guy who starrted this thread get his facts wrong. Check here if you don’t believe me- http://www.metallica.com/index.asp?item=600942

The reviews of the new album have been pertty good overall and the tracks they let the press listened to aren’t totally finished and they didn’t get to hear every song on the new album.

Metallica was 100% right about napster free music downloading has almost completely destroyed music. If an artist’s record sales aren’t good the record companies aren’t going to continue to support them. That is why the business is only about singles and flash in the pan artists now mainly made up of a revolving door of emo rock and rap that both suck horribly. If you download a bands songs for free you are not a fan period.

The Metallica sucks argument because they haven’t made the same album over and over and over like Slayer and AC-DC is ridiculous. Metallica have grown and changed and have had the balls to try new things they have completely changed the mainstream of rock. Bands like System of a Down, Disturbed, Slipknot, Godsmack and many others would not have gotten record deals or any air play if it wasn’t for Metallica.

Grow up or grow a brain one of the two. Idiots

Back in the day I went to London for a holiday and met this Scottish girl named Dot who worked at a metal record shop called "Shades"(dunno if its still in existence)
Anyways Metallica was in town to play Donnington and they did an in store record signing.After that Dot myself and Metallica went to a local pub and killed quite a few pints.All I can remember was they were pretty cool guys,but the coolest most down to earth of the lot was Cliff Burton...what a great guy! Well we all know what happened to poor Cliff,and frankly although Jason did an admirable job filling in,it wasnt the same,for me at least.

I think its pretty universally agreed upon amongst the Metallica fans that the "Black Album" was the beginning of the end.I can count on one hand how many songs since then that I've liked.

I d/l a song off the new album and it was more of the same crap that they've puttig out lately.

Seen them live several times,last time was in OC and this dude on the lawn held up a sign the whole show that said "Dont play any new shit"...couldnt have said it better me self

Honestly, I think Cliff was the one who kept them all "in check." Once he was gone they lost the sense of real creativity completely. Justice was half written by the time he was dead, so it wasn't all that bad, but after that it was all downhill. Virtually of the best written songs were done partially by him (even if he was on bass), so that's proof right there.

Just to not soil my memory, I try to forget they existed from the Black Album on...

Cliff did keep it in check in my opinion.
mustaine is a total douche but a good musician which is what matters.
Steve harris shreds the bass.
Also what about Slayer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! they win!

these are my opinions however comments welcome just don't attack pre black album metallica

Metallica does suck, and the whole napster thing....I remember when the metallica boys worked in a garage, put their songs on tape and gave 'em to people just so they'd buy their tshirts. And the music industry is very hard on new talent, especially with this american idol mentality going on. Music downloading is a good way for new talent to get noticed/discovered Plus the fact that record companies are thives ,since they take a big portion of the sales, and the performers and bands get mere crumbs.

Concert tours are where the REAL money is.

Anyhow, the car once brokw down and had to walk to a country western bar to and use their phone to call for some help....while I waited, the jukebox was playing Metallica.....that alone shows me that Metallica's dead and replaced with something awful.

[Skwisgarr Skwigelf]

wow a country western bar, someone write the obituary

Also incase some of you haven't heard some solid metallica songs I reccommend checking out disposable heroes for the master of puppets album actually the whole album is pretty amazing
