Hardwired to Self-Destruct, and it is much better than Death Magnetic. Those two songs you mentioned are terrible. You need to listen to some Master of Puppets/And Justice For All.

When someone uses that well over-used line, it tells me one thing: This person doesn't ACTUALLY listen to Metallica, and they probably have never even listened to Master of Puppets.

It's the same ****ing line that every ignant pleb uses and it's a dead giveaway that said person has no ****ing idea wtf they're talking about.

This EXACTLY - rep

As someone who toured in a regional metalcore band growing up, the main problem with metal is the local "scene" is filled with some of the most spiteful people and they hate any band that isn't theirs. When I was younger I was guilty of it for YEARS. It's driven off pure jealousy. Once you step up to touring with semi-known and known bands, it gets better, but they still have something to say because everyone is competitive / hungry.

With Metallica, they're the top dog. So naturally, they'll have something to say because that will NEVER be them and the metal scene can't handle that. There may never be another Metallica, but there will be other metal bands that will be great. So they'll nitpick on anything with Metallica - "not good since the black album, Lars sucks, James doesn't sound like 1991, don't listen to anything with Cliff, they sold out" etc. At 21 they wrote "Master of Puppets", probably the greatest metal song in history and at 53, they created a new album that had songs like "Spit out the Bone". A song that pretty much says we can still do this and quite well.

I've progressed through the scenes in my life and I still listen to all sorts of metal. Stuff like grindcore, power-metal, viking-metal, DJENT, metalcore, progressive, thrash and the list goes on and on. Sure there are bands that are heavier, tighter, faster, more technical but in the end, it's Metallica that made heavy metal as popular as it is. It was never designed to be that popular, but they pushed it to that level.

Just my two cents.....

It just irritated the ever living shit out of me. Im always looking for new music.

I'll come across a band...."Hey the cover art looks sick. These guys certainly look the part. **Pushes play. The guitar, drum & bass kick in, nodding my head** yeah this is dope"

Then all of a sudden here comes the singer....

"BLAAAAH UUUUUUUHHHHH BLLLLAAAAAAH"



"Godamnit! ****! They had to RUIN it AGAIN!"

While I do listen to growlers and like a lot of it, I will say this...

Metal will never take over the world again as long as no one can figure out how make metal without it.

Also, from what I hear they don't really use a lot of death metal vocals anymore. They're all 70's prog nerds and their music has changed a lot to reflect that.






lol who gives a shit? they've still sold millions of albums and are insanely successful, especially outside the states.

That's pretty good. I haven't listened to them in awhile and haven't really heard the newer stuff. Sounds a little like Mastodon to me, which is a good thing.

Yeah, Opeth is an acquired taste. Even with their older stuff with a lot of growling vocals, they sang normal half the time. I always wondered why they didn't do that more often as I thought the singer had a good voice.

This + other factors.

I haven't been a huge fan of Metallica's newer efforts, but the new album is worth a listen. They definitely threw it back to the 80's on a few tracks.

If you haven't heard this yet, give it a shot. "Spit Out the Bone"...2:30 in is the best thing they've done since Justice. Legitimately a thrash metal song, which is nice.

more good music from me, person who posts good music for people to listen to.

[Easy 6]

Ya know what, that new Metallica isnt bad at all... probably the closest thing to their old school stuff that I've heard in a long time

The video veers from epically cool to awfully cheesy at times, but still thats a very cool song/video combo from those guys

Metallica teaches....

Now, they’re teaching what it takes to build and sustain success as a group. Get an exclusive look into their process for songwriting, building an album, and performing, and how they took charge of their creative destiny so you can do the same.
