I don't know how anybody could dislike an album such as Kill Em All.

tons of people don't like kill 'em all because it's too simplistic and straight forward compared to the following three albums.

as for me, i love it, it's like technical cali-hardcore punk with shitty lyrics.

i love that scene in the 'some kind of monster' dvd with mustaine and lars talkin it out, its sorta intense, i know this is lame of me to say but its kinda cool knowing mustaine isnt always a shit talking deauche bag who got kicked outta the best metal band of all time for being a drunk shit talking asshole.

NEW ALBUM SOON!!!!!!!!

'kill em all' has been in my stereo forever now.

from what ive heard about 'death magnetic', it sounds like its gonna be amazing, back to the 80s shit, but thats what they always say. luckily they ditched that lame producer and got ricj rubin on board, yknow, the guy who did that record 'reign in blood'.

And Californication, too. Just in case you get too optimistic.

metallica broke up after the black album, then some trendy industry people took their places and started to call themselves metallica.

i doubt i'll be listening to the new album, i will listen to the singles, eventually. but yeah, can't wait to hear robert trujillo play slap and pop funky bass with james saying "ye-heah!" every two seconds.

rick rubin is a shit awful producer and a retard, the reason why he is such an "amazing" producer is because he lets the bands do whatever they want, tells them to keep it simple and lets them record for as long as they like.

I wouldn't deny that Rick Rubin has produced some great albums, but given the amount of dross he's over-seen, I do wonder about his enormous reputation. I actually think a large part of it is in his appearance. He looks like the real deal. You see a photo and think, yeah, this guy eats Harley tyres for breakfast. Cool.

most of the great albums he produced are done by already great artists that don't need much producing (clear example: johnny cash).

the deal with his look thought is that you think "this guy eats harley tyres for breakfast, but he's too at peace with his zen mind not to".

and 'seasons in the abyss', and 'paul's botique' and 'yo! bum rush the show' and 'american recordings' and 'system of a down' etc., hes best with thrash type bands. he has done a lot of shit though, no doubt.

yeah i hate rick rubin.

fuck him

Never was into Metallica.

I enjoy Ride the Lightning, Master of Puppets and ...And Justice For All a hella lot

"st*anger" it says on the spine. Could easily be misread as "stranger." As in "imposter." As in "NOT REALLY METALLICA AT ALL - THEY'RE OFF SOMEWHERE RECORDING A GOOD ALBUM."

I love Mark Prindle.

New song "Cyanide" recorded live.. actually sounds pretty crazy in parts.. liking it.

yeah, i actually have hopes for this new record. i still listen to 'kill em all' and 'master of puppets' like all the time. such an amazing band.

Yeah, new album will be their best in a while I think.

I like everything they've done, though obviously the stuff after Justice wasn't as good... all their records have tons of good riffs at least.

I used to hate Metallica. But after I got into black metal I gave some of their songs a listen on Youtube... I love Master of Puppets (the song), I'm going to buy Master of Puppets as soon as get some money.

the early LPs were radical.
the last 5 LPs are VERY embarrassing.

i think 'the black album', 'load', and 'reload' are absolutley fucking pitiful. just such blatant and misguided attempts to enter the alternative rock market, which unfortunately, the pulled off with flying colors. but yes, theyre are some good records on all those records. however, 'garage, inc.' to me is an incredible listen, i mean, half the songs on there are light years better than the originals. 'turn the page', i never even liked the fucking song, but metallica's version just rules. also, 's and m' is rather rad, heavy metal with a symphony, novel idea anyways. st anger is bullshit obviously. lets hope for the best with the new one.

I enjoy their post "sellout" stuff. More full and "warm".

watered down shitty thrash

the new album has a song on it called "the unforgiven three". how terrible is that?

metallica is a piece of shit .

I liked St. Anger though it was boring. Some of the weirdest guitar tones, production, song structures, and lyrics ever heard in a mainstream band. It's not actually GOOD but it has good stuff. Same for all their albums.

Garage Inc, front to back, both discs, is fucking sweet.

I really REALLY don't like Metallica. I can somewhat see how someone can find worth in their first four albums, but anything after that is awful. I heard the new single just yesterday and it's truly atrocious. The first few minutes are just boring Load/Reload retreads and then the last few are chockfull of cheesy riffs and solos trying desperately to re-create One or Fade to Black or some shit. It's such a huge joke. This band really needs to end already.

Metallica are so badass.

I haven't heard the new single though. I think the new album comes out in like 2 weeks, can't wait.

Two weeks? Why hasn't it leaked then?

tight security?

I wish it would leak... I'm madly in anger with the fact that it hasn't leaked.

They're thrash again!This song's pretty cool, too bad about the drums...

Kinda funny, though it's nothing that hasn't been said a million times before.

i know!!!! i mental-blocked this and was reminded about it a few days ago.


the only thing worse than metallica fans is bitter megadeth fans.


hahahahahaha, i see what you did there.

It's out there and sounds good!

Great.

The track 'The Judas Kiss' is just awesome, pretty close to vintage Metallica.
