Metallica

So for any metal/metallica fans out there there are now two new studio singles and a new live single that have been released for their new album Death Magnetic.
I would have to say I really like what I'm hearing.
Their newest My Apocalypse is their thrashiest song they've released since the black album, and the other two are some of the best I've heard since songs like Fuel and stuff on the Black Album.
Well I guess I shouldn't say best, I liked a lot of there Load Reload era stuff but this is closer to the Metallica of old so to speak.
I'm really excited for the new album in September myself.

I haven't heard any of their new stuff.
I'm a huge fan though,
they've just kinda lost me as of late.

Also of interest to Metallica fans would be the XM radio "Mandatory Metallica" going on right now through September.

"Mandatory Metallica" (XM 51) will be available on XM from August 16 through September 30.

There can never be too much Metallica.

Then it come to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel is just a freight train coming your way.

I am old school Metallica fan.. I swear the song "One" has been played in my ears more than any other song in my wide array of music tastes.. the Black album was the start of the decline, while that was a decent mainstream album they lost a piece of their edge.. and it hasn't returned yet.. so if these cuts sound edgy and a return to their roots.. I will be one happy camper..

Thanks for the release notes.. off to find a version on the web.. One can never have too much Metallica.. at least for my tastes.

I was a fan until they started complaining about people downloading music. Don't you have enough money?

That is very, very true.

When they first hit the scenes, the way their music spread and how they got huge was from people copying their cassettes and giving them to their buddies to listen to. If they had to rely on radio to get to their audience or to rely on fans that had the money to personally buy all of their albums they would have been shit out of luck.

I hate Lars

I think Lars was the mastermind of that whole thing, he was always the mouth piece against Napster.
I know last year I think it was Metallica played at Download Fest in Europe and Lars wasn't there and Joey from Slipknot played drums instead.
Lars has always been the member I could do without, but oh well it wouldn't be metallica without him.

Remember when Metallica went on a crusade with Garth Brooks against buying used CD's? That was some of the most hilarious shit ever.


I can't stand anything these douchebags have done since ...And Justice for All, but the happy memory of Lars Uldrich whining like a piss-ant little bitch about how people were stealing his precious millions by purchasing second hand CD's inspired me.

I'm going to go pirate some Metallica mp3's off the interwebs right now!
