Metallica is back

[Method101]

Sounds like half of their other songs, totally unoriginal, hang it up and retire already you moneygrabbing fucks.

I'd rather underappreciated bands like this one;

100 times better than current Mehtallica.
Plus they got a drummer.

[Fortress]

there is no reason to listen to any bands coming after the 90s

Now I know for certain you're, a) trolling, or b) an extremely moderate "metal fan" who hasn't a clue.

Never liked this sissy elevator music.
Nothing beats some of that old school Gangster Rapppppp.....Rat tat taaa MF'ers!!

Bought RTL as a new release. Was as big a Metallica fan in the '80s as they came. The self-titled, while a heavy heavy metal album, failed to my ears. Great "songs" and great production, but it and me didn't connect. I bought Load, listened through once, and I broke it in half and chucked it into the garbage can.

I agree with the poster a couple up. James now has zero metal fire in his being.

The fellas are playing a role. It's no longer real. It is forced. The new music is metal by guys who lost their metal hearts a long time ago.

My CD collection is nearing five thousand. I buy between five and 15 discs each week. Essentially all hard rock and metal.

For me, Metallica has been over for 25 years. This new record is, as I say, too little too late. And to make matters worse, its oldschool thrash peers are recording some of their finest work these past few years.

Over four albums they were untouchable.

Then it was over.

Holy shit!

4 questions...
1-how in the bloody hell do you find the time to listen to all this music?
2-how many vinyls and/or cassettes had you collected prior to this?
3-How many of these cd's have you listened to many times and/or just once?
4-Do you just go to record stores to buy these, or websites ie band sites/amazon etc?

Thats alot of cd's weekly and overall, very impressive. No party would be boring at your house music wise

thats ok, not everybody can be an expert in everything from lifting to metal music like you and spending half their day telling everyone how much they know and how little everyone else know and how wrong everyone else is.

you must be a real joy to be around

hardline sounds like some left over from the 80s. guess its ok if thats your thing but i didnt expect it to be from 2012.

im not surprised youtube suggested warrant and cinderella after i clicked on it...

He's got over 330 posts since he registered less than a month ago.

You should've went with option c) board retread

[ratherbebig]

i rather have 300 posts than 5000 cds

i dont think there's any need for more than 5 metal cds

put them on repeat and you'll be just fine. any more than that is just excessive.

[OB1]

Infact this one is enough.

[ratherbebig]

that and this one

[ratherbebig]

metal magic is the underappreciated debut album from one of metals greatest - pantera.

i especially like the first track on the album 'ride my rocket':

ride my rocket
wear me out
ride my rocket
make me twist and shout
ride my rocket
give me all of your love
ride my rocket
I just can't get enough.

if thats not poetry i dont know what is.

I'm an expert on both these things, yes.

I have one whole room in my condo devoted to my collection.

I listen to CDs constantly. Prior to CDs, I bought vinyl. Only purchased cassettes for a couple of years before going full-on compact discs. Most of my discs I have spun at least five times. Hundreds of them, many, many times more. Most of my albums I purchase from Amazon private sellers and from HMV stores.

Hard rock and metal (and iron) are my lifeblood.

Been a metalhead since 1982. NEVER wavered. Never.

i think variety is the spice of life

if you only listen to one genre of music youre missing out.

thats kind like just eating mexican food and nothing else all your life. or just watching romcoms. (and having a whole room full of romcoms on dvd and vhs and laserdisc and blu ray)

You sound like a man who enjoys the more-than-occasional cock.

P.S. I dig jazz/fusion (Metheny, UZEB, Montgomery) and VERY select non-metal artists. For instance, Toto, Journey, Tears For Fears, The Police, Eric Johnson, etc.

[ratherbebig]

so do we agree that 5 metal albums is all that is needed and any more than that is just a waste of money.

which 5 albums you reckon is the only ones that is needed?

Ridiculous.

Hell, I own hundreds of records I'd consider mandatory for a passionate listener.

If James Hetfield never changed his singing style (thanks, Bob Rock), then I could tolerate the music post-Justice album.

Bob Rock ruined a lot with them.

Dear fuck ... Let me think for a bit.

(Of course, anything I come up with will be spur-of-the-moment, and thus, not accurate. I'd have to spend days whittling a list to arrive at anything resembling my true list.)
