they have a radically different fan base than sonic youth does. i don't know a whole lot of sonic youth fans with mullets.

yeah i got that
rat tails are much more sickening than mullets, just for the record

i see them occasionally and i just want to run up to the person and rip that chunk of hair out and stomp on it.

i really can't say they sold out or whatever, but i can say... they truely suck balls. i really wish they'd have just eaten a bag of dead baby dicks and shut the fuck up back in the 80's. mecrapica all the way!

The new album is going to be fucking amazing. They're actually playing Justice songs again, including the title track, which is one of the most complex songs of their career (still haven't played "Frayed Ends of Sanity" live, though, which IS their most complex song..). Can't fucking wait for this! This and the new Autechre are my two most anticipated albums of '08..

unappealing

As they grew lyrically and conceptually better, and more socially mature--starting with ...and justice for all--their music grew tired and less spontaneous. The first album, despite its comic-book machismo and socially unconscious lyrics, is still probably their best musically. Do you think this owes to the influence original members Dane Mustaine and Ron McGovney had over the group's earliest compositions?

much of Justice For All had drum machine kick drums because Lars is a kinda shit drummer and cannot doulbe bass pedal fast and regular enough to play Blackened. no lie

...and justice for all is definitley the best metallica album. their first four like i said are pretty unfuckwithable. its thrash but i duno, the songs on those records are way to complex and epic sounding to be lumped in with the other bay area "testaments" of the world. ill always holy my allegiance to slayer, but i do love 80's metalllica. and the fact that theyre playing ...and justice songs definitley gives me some hope that they will no longer suck.

i bet he got that wrong.... wanker!
if lars the prick wasnt in metallica i might appreciate them more but he is so i dont..... kill em all and ride the lightning is where i draw the line.

i remembered an interview around the load period and they asked james why they mostly abandoned fast songs and he basically said "because lars got lazy".

garage days - the small hours

Haha.

Lars got lazy.

I like Lars.

damage inc. is their best song hands down.
