Metallica Superthread -All Metallica discussion goes in here

I wonder if Jason would love to be in the band now? They are now where he really wanted them to be mentally. I will never ever get used to Robs fúcking crab walk, and he is now in metallica 11 years, coming up to Jason's 14, yet only 1 album....but millions of dollars.

Jason was perfect for the band, things would probably be different if James had gone to rehab before Jason left.

I saw Jason's scuzz interview, I still think he should have stuck it out. James píssed off to rehab for nearly a year after Jason left, what a perfect time to rebuild the band it could have been, with Jason in it.

Sorta glad he's not in it anymore, he was my fav ever member and they didn't fcukin deserve him, glad he seems to have found peace and happiness, he could have gone the other road, all bitter and twisted like Mustaine

Maybe the new sober James would have Given Jason a chance... He wrote all the lyrics for flotsam and jetsams first album.

Or maybe not, James is a control freak, we all saw that in "some kind of monster"

With the exception of Jason, it was probably because they were all going bald and long hair but bald on top does look pretty stupid

It took Kerry king a long time to swallow that pill!

Dire.

Sugarlumps

Absolutely awful performance of One.

Ash.J.Williams

Awesome...go lang lang

stefan idiot jones

Was Bill Bailey playing the drums?

hidinginthebush

It was very meh. The piano worked in parts, but definitely felt out of place in others. Who is Lang Lang anyway?

Doctor Jimbob

That was very bad.

KH25

That was an absolute abomination. The piano just didn't work and did not go with the song at all. Its like he decided to play his own song instead. Dreadful.

The piano worked in parts of the song didn't in other parts, felt it was a very meh performance to be honest

Couldn't agree more. I've been a Metallica fan for 30 years but that was truly cringworthy! The director must have been on his tea break when they were dress rehearsing that one.

jack presley

In one sense I admire them for always trying to do something different and sometimes it works (e.g. S&M), but on the other hand sometimes it's crap (Lulu) and this definitely falls into that category.

Just stick to what you're good at and make an album for God's sake!

I've just about had it with the band now, i've been a fan since 1985, have seen them 30 odd times all over Europe, but i hate what they've become, everything they used to stand against.

Poor lethargic mediocre live sets that are so fcukin similar year after year, 2 albums in what, 10yrs?

Sure i'll still listen to them but the day has long gone when i'd jump on a plane/ferry to go see them, hell, the last 2 times i went to see them (Marlay) i didn't even get excited before the gig

Can't argue with that,i'm of a similar mind. Setlists over the last few years have been boring,by the numbers setlists. I appreciate they like to push the boundaries but it appears they're moving further and further away from what they once were. I've even let my membership of their fanclub lapse after 13 years as a member.

They've become middle-aged multimillionaires, I suppose. 30 years of touring, recording, and reaping the rewards of untold commercial success will do that to you. Two albums in ten years is indeed the case but it was the same between '97 and '08 with only Reload and DM to go on, if we're talking original material only, and they had Jason leave, the Napster debacle, James cleaning his act up, insisting on touring some of the St. Anger anger stuff which, by all accounts, went down dreadfully live. Metallica were the uncoolest band in the world (or, well, after the perennial no.1s Limp Bizkit) and I don't see a whole lot of variance in their set lists from years past either where they were throwing in surprises or b-sides beyond swapping in one Garage cover for another.

I think the criticisms being levelled at Metallica are valid but have been for a pretty long time now too and what I was saying with the above paragraph is there's been reason enough to leave them behind if you looked for it. I'm guessing your current frustration is a cumulative one.

You'd think that someone like Lang Lang would know to hang back if unsure of his role in the music which seemed to be the case. Weird, weird performance.

Well it seems Lars has put a kibosh on a Metallica album being released this year

http://www.metalhammer.co.uk/news/lars-ulrich-no-new-metallica-album-before-2015/

While Metallica are definitely getting to work on the follow-up to 2008′s Death Magnetic, they’re certainly happy to take their time.

Lars was caught on the red carpet at this year’s Grammys, and confirmed that the metal legends are “all about”, a new album, but that fans shouldn’t expect to hear any actual new music any time soon.

This album better be worth the almost 7 year wait when it's eventually released, and hopefully it'll be handled better in regards to the production side of it
