I dont know if this is Metallica's April Fools joke or not....but Lars was just on the rock station here in Phoenix and announced that after 2009 Metallica is going to break up. He said that the band has done all that they need to. They have nothing else to prove. So on and so forth.

I havent really cared about them since the whole Napster thing....but it kind of sucks they are just breaking up.

Again....I dont know if this is an April Fools joke or not.

That's just what the rest of the band TOLD Lars.

They should have split in 1986.
And even before 1986, they produced sub-par thrash metal compared to the likes of Exodus, Kreator, Sodom, etc.

Metallica has sucked for a long while now.....so no big loss.

exactly thats when they came of to me like business men instead of artists, gave me a sour taste in the mouth of them too.
they probably sold a lot more dvds and cds merchandise since the introduction of sites like youtube and the downloads of songs too.

Wouldn't that be akin to announcing a Getbig retirement just to get people to beg you to stay? (Not that that happens much around here or anything.)

Favre just retire, I have no tears left to shed for anyone else's retirement.

Agreed - a band that built itself with no radio play and an bootlegging suddenly was against the very thing that helped make them popular. Hypocrisy.

I always felt that one was all Lars though, and James couldn't give a shit.

LOL I can't tell you how many times I wish he was the one who died.

Fuck Lars. He tries to act as the leader of the band but he's just a replaceable drummer. Just like fucking Tommy Lee.

Mars · « **Reply #11 on:** April 01, 2008, 10:27:39 AM »

tommy lee jones?

Meh, they should have retired after 'And Justice For All...'

there it is. give mtv a reason to talk about a rock band full of guys older than their listeners' dads, who make filler radio rock.

honestly, if metallica had a plane crash, suicide, OD, or breakup at their peak, they'd be remembered as the greatest rock band ever.

Metallica has been overrated since day 1 IMO.

Never really got what the big deal was with them

There are two Aerosmiths

The band that kicked fucking ass in the late 70's, and the coroporate schlock rockers that haven't put out a decent record (except PUMP) since then

Well,yeah...nothing CLASSIC. Get Your Wings still my fav.

But PUMP wasn't total shite compared to the rest of their "comeback" crap. Had a few decent tunes

Dude I'm agreeing with you, Smith's first 4 records were killer, very few bands have had so many strong albums in a row. But relatively speaking Pump wasn't total garbage compared to the shit they put out once they signed a huge deal with Sony
