Not really, found it a good read and spot in on most parts

Anybody any idea what happened to Newsted?

New album out, dates confirmed then they were all pulled, he didn't play any of the Euro festivals and has gone totally dark, hope he's ok

This is fanboy stuff gone way over the top. Who gives a sh*te about his vocal? I can't wait to read the article about the lines on his face, or the colour of his jeans since 1983, or how his hair has changed since Kill Em all.

Vocal wise James has been moving ever closer toward a Glenn Danzig style of singing since before the black album. With over emphasis on pronouncing vowels.

Puppets was his vocal peak. Voice like a buzzsaw on that album.

THE biggest metal band ever, of course i give a shite about his vocals, the hetfield growl is one of the main parts of the bands sound, thought it was a great piece and well worded

You're complaining about an article on James Hetfield's vocals. It's a major part of the music they make, so I don't understand why you're so upset. I suppose you'll be giving out about a Guitar World article on Kirk Hammett's lead technique next or Lars' snare sound.

I wish they would do another covers album.
Their Dio tribute was superb. They should cover:

Kiss - Creatures Of The Night
Motorhead - Killed By Death
Steely Dan - Do It Again
Voi Vod - Tornado
Free - Wishing Well
Pink Floyd - The Nile Song
Ted Nugent - Stranglehold
Jimi Hendrix - Stone Free
New Model Army - Vengeance
Celtic Frost - I Won't Dance
Jet - Look What You've Done
Fleetwood Mac - Black Magic Woman
Rival Sons - Pressure And Time
Danzig - Mother

FCUK, That would sound great.

F@&k a covers album!! Trujillo's been in the band for over 10 years, and has recorded one, yes ONE studio album in that time!!! Waste of talent IMO

I wouldn't mind if they included a cover of "Black Rose" on their next album......

That's not an album, it's a pile of shíte. It needs to be removed from Metallica's history. Bit like St gick.

S&M wasn't too bad, well I only liked two songs on it, the thing and puppets. At least they played well on it.

St. Anger's grown on me in the last few years, but I still wouldn't be having a St. Anger listening session. Like whiskey, it's probably best to take in via small doses at a time (though many mightn't heed that advice :pac: ). It has it's place and I think it differentiates itself within the Metallica catalog. Certainly not their best album but I respect that they really put their feelings out there, so to speak, in such a raw way.

Well 6 million sales worldwide shows somebody obviously likes st anger, I bought it myself I must confess, I've tried and tried, I just can't, there's not even one song I can even get fuzzy listening to. It's just not for me I guess.

Maybe there is six million people like you. Disappointed with their purchase.

I think there was some post production tweaking going on there. It happens on a lot of live albums - each instrument is recorded to a separate track and then mistakes, flubs and off key moments are edited out/overdubbed in a similar fashion to a normal studio recording. Either that or it's the cleanest performance Metallica had ever done.

stefan idiot jones wrote: »

If they were that disappointed, they could have all just returned the CD and Metallica would have been left with egg on their face. That didn't happen, though. Whatever you think about St. Anger, it hasn't been a forgotten album. People still talk about it, good, bad, or indifferent.
