Feel like listening to some of their classic material now......

[J.D. DIAMOND] Friday, June 26, 2009 5:52:51 PM 
Yeah your probably right but I fuckin' hate 'Enter Sandman"!!   I don't like 'Sad But True" either,but I could of lived with that...but not Enter Sandman!

Now that set list you have right now would be an "elite" Metallica set list for sure.

[jimmyjames] Friday, June 26, 2009 5:39:15 PM 
Yeah thought about that but I do like Sad But True and Enter Sandman, whether we like it or not, is a Metallica staple. Metallica brought out a box set years ago called Binge and Purge, contained 3 cds and 3 video tapes. One of the Video tapes was of a concert on the Justice tour, just an awesome show. Setlist is.....

1) Blackened
2) For Whom The Bell Tolls
3) Sanitarium
4) The Thing That Should Not Be
5) Bass Solo
6) Master Of Puppets
7) Fade To Black
8) Seek And Destroy
9) And Justice For All
10) One
11) Creeping Death
12) Guitar Solo
13) Battery
14) Last Caress
15) Am I Evil
16) Whiplash
17) Breadfan

Would have been one of the great metal tours when Metallica toured Justice.

Oops, got AJFA in there twice, better strike that second one and replace with Leper Messiah.
[J.D. DIAMOND] Friday, June 26, 2009 5:14:47 PM 
Yeah but you ruined the set list by adding "Sad But True" and "Enter Sandman"......how could you possibly add "Enter Sandman" and "Sad But True" to an otherwise cool set list? YUK.

2) The Four Horsemen

6) Fade To Black
7) The Thing That Should Not Be
8) And Justice For All
9) No Remorse

11) Blackened
12) Am I Evil
13) Welcome Home ( Sanitarium )
14) Motorbreath
15) And Justice For All
16) One
17) Last Caress
18) Phantom Lord
19) Enter Sandman
20) Damage Inc
21) Seek And Destroy

Your right there, Metallica will never write another great song. They may come up with some ok ones and a few that sound awesome live but they'll never regain what they had in the 80s. Its gone for them.

They sure did screw up--they had a good thing going there for a while

Sellouts --you bet --they shouldn't even call themselves Metallica anymore--they're not metal  anymore & haven't been for a long while--almost like false advertising 

Master Of Puppets--One--Sanatarium--Fade To Black --For Whom The Bell Tolls--now that's metal--but the last few cds are so far from the grain so to speak & I seriously don't think they're get it back

Yeah, success took them from being the fans band to being an inaccessible bunch of arrogant cock rock posers, if you look inside the Load cd at the pics they've all got this stupid Kid Rock wifebeater and suspenders pimp look, like Harvey Kietel in Taxi Driver. fuckin idiots. Where are the jeans and the cut off misfits tshirts? Sell outs.

You are so right JJ--I feel they *lost * it when they changed their image --cut their hair ect

The problem with Metallica is that the guys in the band think they are more talented than they are, the fact that their music has become irrelevant over the last 15 years proves it. They've run out of ideas, now they just do Metallica by the numbers. also their egos have gotten out of control. Ulrich was always a prick and hasn't changed but Hetfield is the one whose ego has blown way out of proportion to his talent. No wonder Jason Newsted left the band, must be torture hanging around with a couple of asswipes like that.

As you progress through the game, you could buy some of their snazzy outfits from the 70's.  $300.00 for KK's white fedora!

Okay, I remember the add on TV fow the Rock n Roll hall of Fame ceremony, and it stated that Metallica was the heaviest, fastest, greatest band ever. What a load of crap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!The rock n roll hall of fame is a joke anyway. I am a huge Van Halen fan but if you put Van Halen in there...... shouldnt Priest be in there. Oh well, screw the hall of "fame".

 Speaking of a Priest themed music game, wouldnt it be great if there was one. You played as one of the band members as you go through the decades and see the changes in JP's music. It will probably never happen.

I saw Metallica 3 times when the "black" album came out but I haven't really liked anything since 
except for "Until It Sleeps"--The Memory Remains"& I liked the remake of Bob Seger's song "Turn The Page "

they were so awesoome with Kill "Em All- "--Ride The Lighning "--"And Justice For All" --"Master Of Puppets "& 
"Metallica " but after that ....

There is no other Metallica after the first 3...Well except for Re-revisited with their covers.  Pretty funny.  I saw Metallica in a tiny old theatre during their Master of Puppets tour, with Metal Church opening.  "I'll hit you with a ton of bricks!"  That was an incredible show.  Haven't wasted a cent on them in concert since.  Don't care about their concert in the round or any of their new stuff.  When they play them as much on the radio as Aerosmith and Madonna, then I'd say they're done.  I almost ALMOST had to buy Guitar Hero Metallica because of Hell Bent for Leather on it.  (Why is there no Guitar Hero:  British Metal Invasion????)  Instead, I was relieved I could get GH: Smash Hits with Electric Eye.  At least something Priest.  I can't seem to figure out how to get downloadable content.  Maybe when my kid is 10 years old, he can explain it to me.  Only this week did I finally figure out my MP3 player.  Apparently it can be used for more than just an fm radio!  And as for that photo with the loafers, grandpa slip-ons and clogs...yeeeesh.  Sorry fellas.  Lame.

It just kills me that a band like Metallica creates these metal masterpieces in Kill 'Em All,Ride The Lightning and Master Of Puppets...even And Justice For All.....and then does a 180 on thier fans and puts out garbage.

They create a huge following from 1983 to 1988 and then just throws all thier old time fans in the garbage with albums like The Black Album,Load,Reload,St.Anger,Death Megnetic....what a shame they are.

Well,to "me" they "SUCK".   I hate thier song writting,they will NEVER write an album like thier first 3 album's style again. This is only my opinion mind you,so we all have them,and I'm gonna take mine out on Metallica! LOL!

To me,they are the most disappointing band in music history.

Yeah,(lol!) sadly enough....Metallica "died" when Cliff Burton died in 1986.  But the first 3 albums with Cliff will live on and will haunt Metallica.......
 
For the rest of thier lives they will always have to hear how killer thier first 3 albums were,and it pisses them off...they will never top what Cliff inspired them to create.

Thanks Head banger, yeah i agree Priest need him. Metallica couldn't have him anyways he's too good for them. Metallica have had some great material i admit but i just never became a fan i guess i was sick of hearing Metallica this and Metallica that. After all how many people do you know apart from all us Priest fans here of course, say that Priest are their favourite metal band? And how many times do they crop up in a conversation about metal music?...be honest Exactly. I love the fact that i discovered Priest for myself rather than someone tell me who i was meant to like or who i was meant to listen to. There is far too much hype around Metallica, their music has been mediocre since Load it just potters on like a tramp with a wine bottle apart from a few eceptions from DM.

And that is just fine with me, my friend. I have no problem with your opinion. It is yours and you are entitled. I will continue to enjoy some of their old music and you can hate them. HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Honestly, it is not that big of a deal. I am not a die-hard Metallica fan. I like some of their stuff. Mostly their old music from the albums you mentioned prior to 'Justice. There is a song or two I like from the Black album but, by and large, I do not care for their stuff these days. As far as their "look"...well, it does not bother me at all. I mean, take a close look at ME!! HA!!!!!!!!!!!! One of the nurses at my doctor's office was listening to Raw Steel one day while I was there and she said, "You would never know it to look at you that you do this kind of music..."  SO true!

I have to "respectfully dis-agree" with you and Head Banger here Freeze...as yes I do condem Metallica's "image" as it "suks".....

...but most importantly...I in my personal opinion "hate" Metallica's "MUSIC".  If you guys like Metallica's "music" after 'And Justice For All"(1988) then I am not bashing you guys persnally at all,but it is the "MUSIC" first that I can't take after the album "And Justice For All".   I don't think that thier music from "The Black Album" reflects anything from the 1980's,for me its way to "watered down" and un-like And Justice...and of course before that album.

The Black Album,Load,Re-Load,St.Anger and Death Magnetic ...all 5 album's music is what I am trashing here...thier 'image" is the "ICING ON THE CAKE" for me.

Again,if you guys like some of thier music after the album "And Justice..."..then I am not saying that you guys suck(lol!)...but I just wanted to make it clear that I am bashing Metallica's music first,thats why I hate this band.

To me,they created a "cult" following in making the albums "Kill 'Em All"........"Ride The Lightning"......."Master Of Puppets".....and ...eh...even .."And Justice For All".....all 4 albums they summoned a cult classic metal following ....
...and then with the "Black Album"...they waded up thier long time fans who crave this Metallica sound and threw them in the garbage and said "Metal is over guys...get over it". Lars actually said this on MTV.

That is why I hate this band,and as I've mentioned above...thier "image" is the real icing on the cake.  

They had a metal image when they wrote killer metal albums,and they have a non-metal image now they do not write killer metal albums.

Just like Priest with "Turbo"...they did not have a killer metal image with Turbo.

But I understand what your saying here Freeze,just wanted to make clear why I hate them.  Music first.

So here's the thing, I do not "hate" Metallica. I do not hate Rick Springfield. I do not hate Snoop Dog. Seems like a bit of an overreaction to a band, for me.

Back in the early 80's, Metallica was it. They were the only real Metal band that was not "selling out" to high hair and lipstick. They put out some GREAT music. In fact, I even like a song or two from Black. The majority of their music today is really self-indulgent and kind of just a re-hash of all they have done over the years. They are not what they were, I agree.

I really could not care less about their haircuts. I know our beloved JD is concerned about aesthetics and I understand that. I really prefer to listen to the music first. While a "look" is important, I like to take the music for what it is and go from there. In the case of Metallica, they are great musicians and they have some wonderful material. They have a strong, loyal following, just as Priest has. I do not mean to suggest they are anything close to our boys but they are not "crap". They are not "sell outs". They have just reached a point where they are writing music that does not appeal to as large a group as they did twenty years ago. (Hmmm...can anyone say 'Nostradamus'???)

I have done some old Metallica covers. They have some timeless songs. I do not see myself buying their newest album or really anything after the Black album but I do not agree that they "suck".

Here is our version of Whiplash. I think that is one of those songs that is always worth "cranking up"......!!

Yeah i never really liked Metallica either, i would take Priest over every band any day though =P. However some songs i like and i'll admit it. Leper Messiah is probably my favourite that song really owns! There are a few others but can't be bothred to mention them. Lars really lets them down he sucks as a modern metal drummer now. Replace Lars with Scott and wey hey! I hope Priest will give us another album i pray to God they do. I love Nostradamus really really love it but i want to hear another diamond amongst the rust another Painkiller or something on Jugulator heaviness but less cheesy. Give us some more awesome drumming Scott!!! Priest dominates!

Look at this poor excuse for a "metal band"? What kind of image for metal is this bullshit?  Metallica turned out to be the worst metal band there ever was,and probly ever will be. Being into "metal" in 1983 at the age of "13"  I was around in the true metal era and was raised on metal's philosophy,ideology and aesthetics.Metallica used to be a band that defended this "law" of codes,and now they are the example of  "what not to be" for new up-coming metal bands. 

I fucking hate this band with a passion,they are true back-stabbers and betrayers to the max. Shame on them for posing as a metal band,and shame on anyone who likes this band in this day and age.If there was a lower grade than an "F" I would give it to Metallica. Yuk.

Wow that Some Kind of Monster DVD from 2001 blew total ass. What were they (Metallica) thinking? They really had some bad albums after their heads grew way too big from the Black Album which sucks too..
[Bazookajoe_666] Thursday, April 02, 2009 11:07:18 AM 
Bass doesn't make albums great (unless your like Geezer Butler haha) but the Justice album defniitly would have been a lot better with better production.

Bring James vocals more up front.

Make the drums 5 fuckin times louder.

Put some goddamn Mid on the guitars and make them like the first three albums.

And most importantly, include the fucking bass this time!

perhaps its more easily enjoyed if you didnt have the early stuff first???  I was never that into metalica in the 80's so I can handle the black album, some is good.

Say waht we might about metalica, over the years how many instrumental covers do they have?  must be something?

Has anybody noticed that And Justice for All.... is always credited as a great album, yet the bass is almost inaudible.

[Bazookajoe_666] Wednesday, April 01, 2009 12:13:44 PM 
I enjoyed the Black album for what it was. It had some ballads and rock tunes for sure but it did have some heavy as shit songs. Like Through The Never, I'd say is the closest to the good Metallica, Sad But True is heavy as fuck. Enter Sandman is catchy but lyrically it's not amazing. The rest is kinda meh after the first few tunes.

icecreamman is right in my opinion Darth...even though Hetfield and Ulrich forged Metallica's sound....it was "Cliff" who had the right attitude supporting his denim and the band's thrash metal image,and in keeping thier sound the way it was....Cliff always said he did'nt want to "change" at all.Metallica is the worst disappointment the metal industry has ever seen in my opinion. The band's first 3 albums kick ass...thier 4th "And Justice For All"..was ok...then starting from the "Black Album"..and up to now...they are absolutely terrible.

I don't about that.   I think the band wanted to expand their musical horizons and they found a willing producer in Bob Rock.  ...And Justice for All isn't a bad album either, as it was my introduction to the band.

You know it is kind of funny that Metallica are betrayers of metal, yet they have Metal in their name. What a joke.

When I first heard Kill em' All and Ride the Lightning , I thought they were amazing, and then I heard their newer stuff. IT SUCKS.

Cliff was the heart and soul of early metallica.

 

Metallica died with Cliff.

Yes I agree,but still Nostradamus is an OVERKILL. If they would of shortened it up to 10 tracks,with a variety of songs than it would of been better.There are not a variety of songs...it all swings to the slower side and is one dimensional in my opinion.And at this late in the band's career..I think its a shame that they want to "evolve"...I think that 'Angel Of Retribution" is a perfect Judas Priest album with a little bit of everything the fans wanted.

Only one thing in Priest's defence, they have always evolved. The only period I can think they didn't evolve well enough was Defenders, being SFV's twin almost, and well turbo just seemed to be catering to a larger audience than their core. Nos, is an album of verteran rockers who decided to tackle something different and it does stand alone as a good work. Is it Painkiller? No. But if everything they made sounded exactly the same we wouldn't like them.
Metallica is just sad. They just seemed to have lost an edge and a desire to do more. Trying to divorce yourself from your true roots is a joke.
Ever listened to Disturbed? Relatively new band, older stuff is a work in progress and their effort last year was truely awesome. I hope they continue to evolve as well, but not forget their roots.

Exactly spapad,exactly!!  I think this about "Nostradamus" as well.Don't get me wrong here...Nostradamus is far better than any lame Metallica album by far,but it is the same thing here what were talking about.The "world" is not craving "Nostradamus" from Judas Priest......they are craving a "British Steel" and a "Angel Of Retribution" or a "Painkiller"...not something so different that it covers up your favorite band's "SOUND".   

The world is not craving a shitty Metallica album like "Death Magnetic"...they are craving an album like "Ride The Lightning". No question.

Sounds like a band that got too big for their own good. Why do bands think that to move forward and "sophisticate their sound" means it's what the world is craving? I understand experimentation, but they are just throwing out shit now I wouldn't play in a million years. Young people buy it because of brand band recognition, not because they true appriciate the band. IMO

When Cliff died,so did Metallica.If he was still alive,he would of left Metallica when they were writting "The Black Album"..Cliff would of NEVER been a part in this recording,not at all..no way no how.He would of formed his own band under the attitude of early Metallica for sure.

Man those were the good old days!! And then Cliff Died,they put out And Justice For All...which now does'nt seem so bad,really...even at the time we were like "..ok..its alright"....but maybe the next one will be better...and then to the horror we watched in 1990 or 91 I can't remember..but "The Black Album" was released and we all threw up all over ourselves!!

I can't say I  hate  Metallica....I think everything they made from  "And Justice..."  and prior is stuff worth having.    The 'black'  album I liked for a time, then...much like a piece of Juicy Fruit gum, it lost flavor.    I couldn't get by anything they made after that one.

I WILL tell you one thing I don't like at all....the fact that Metallica received a nomination for Rock And Roll Hall of Fame induction BEFORE Judas Priest.    That......that's just....WRONG.
