Metallica’s Back. (Old farts, country & rap lovers need not click)
« on: August 21, 2008, 08:37:35 PM »
First single released today.  It's not up with their early stuff but judging from this single, it just might be their best in a couple decades.

Enjoy.

Did they cut that in their bedroom at 3 am with GarageBand? The mix sucks. The drums sound like a 150 Pulse percussion set you get on Ebay. I've been playing drums for a long time, I can say that with some experience.

I like Metallica but this was sad. I expected more. I'd still buy the album.

:aok

You can thank Lars being Lars and Rick Rubin as the producer for that.

Overall, not bad.  Better then I was expecting.  I sure don't miss the Bob Rock days.

I've got news for you. James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich turn 45 this year, so they're both "old farts".

 :lol  Too True.  I'm not far behind.

I'm with you guys on the drums.  Lars just needs to go away.  Every time I hear him speak I see the CampChaos Napster skit in my head and can't help but laugh.

The single sounds a lot like ..... The Unforgiven? Pretty sure that's the name of the song. Anyhow It seems they got the snare down to something approaching a hard rock tone. I recall a while back I heard a cut and it sounded like it was mixed by Boy George. Still needs a nice big 'verb.

I never really got into them enough to actually buy a record but have covered Sandman, fun song.

Until I came across their covers of Breadfan and Remember Tomorrow. Two songs I've always wanted to do but could never get through committee.

God bless 'em. They've been around a while and are still selling records. That's gotta count for something.

Hey  :furious  I just read in between the parenthesis.  I'm 50+, hate country, hate rap, love most everything else.  I have walked out of places who play country music in anything over background level.   I listed to metallica, and a lot of other stuff.  I have xm radio and like the diversity of what is available.  It gets tiring to hear the same ole top 40 classics over and over and over and over and over and over, etc day after day after day after day, etc over the local rock stations.  And almost the same advertisements. 

I clicked on the link and I will always  :rock  on.

I like pink floyd, motley crue, kiss, ozzy, yes, jethro tull, head east, kansas, metallica, ac/dc, and a lot of stuff like that.  I'm too tired and old and cant remember any more names tonight, and I have to go get a dose of geritol  :rolleyes:

Better than what they have been doing, but not as good as their early stuff.

My favorite will always be "Ride the Lightning" :rock

Still race Open Class MX, (My kids race the 250 kiddy class :rofl)....
If ya came into my shop, I'd rock ya, till ur ears are bleedin!!!
So lay off da geezer stuff!!!

I remember when Metallica first showed up on a "Combat Records"
collection album in 80 or 81.... Everyone Knew that they would be great!!!!

They were!!!!

But now they are just ditchwater drinkers, cuz they sold out :mad:
Just like sooo many others!!!

And, as an aside... What was that whole grunge thing????
Just an excuse to NOT be able to PLAY???

Rock has gone downhill ever since :cry
