Well two reasons:

1 - Listen to the album with headphones. They pan James completely to one side and Kirk to the other, and it's pretty easy to hear that they are playing different things.

2 - Unless Metallica plans to just play songs from St. Anger when they tour, then I think Kirk would pretty useful to have around to play the solos from the other songs in their repertoire.

I'll pretend to be gay if you admit that James Hetfield takes in the butt as well.

you just confirmed it with that stupid ass comment

Good for you!

Derwood - ya stole the words right outta mah mouth buddy!

I think the St. Anger song on the radio now is shit.
I've never been a big Metallica fan, but the last two albums have been listenable.
Lars is a good drummer, but I wish he'd shut the hell up. And the rest of them have turned into elderly rock poseurs. Hang it up guys, let's get some new blood out there. Don't you have enough money yet?

If you think it's shit, don't buy it. What's the big deal?

well the whole meaning of this poll was to ask what people think of metallica's new album, so............whats the big deal with people saying they dont like metallica?

No big deal. I like it, he doesn't, that's that

personally, i think the songs are great, but the production is some of the worst i've ever heard

Anyone notice that on many songs Lars chose to take the "snare" off of his snare drum? Thus, the sound thtat some have described as "banging on a garbage can". I like the album, but that was a bad decision by Lars

Agreed, but is it fair to say that James Hetfield is queer just because you don't like his band, or him personaly? That's horse shit. I'd be pretty fucked up if I felt that everyone I didn't like was queer.. Grow the fuck up.. If you don't like something, fine, say so, say why, but don't make up a bunch of bullshit just to make waves..

ok. now that it's out, what's your opinion?

I'm 32, had the master ofm puppets picture disc (LP), won tickets on the radiom for the justice for all tour, loved every album, blah blah blah...


that said, not one song on the album has caught my attention.

Maybe it's me. Anybody else feel this way?

Derwood, he plays it with snare Live

thank god. I think he plays it with snare on the rehearsal DVD too (?)

just saw this post and just saw Metallica play live the other day...this album is raw [under-produced on purpose ...], hard and AWESOME!!!! and they are still the best live band ever!!!!

I realize not everyone likes Metallica nd I respect that--I even respect that some people late to the game only know Metallica s the band that plays stuff from LOad and Unload [good, but not the heaviest of stuff by the kings of speed-metak...I even try to respect that some long-time fans decided since they are popular now they suck [although I don't understand that one bit...to me people just caught up to the band not the other way around and I saw them playing in the clubs in 1984]...

But to not give the album a chance [whcih many people have] or to write Metallica off for no good reason or never see them perform live--I can't give that any respect...

Very well put JR.. I couldn't have said it better.. Welcome aboard!

Going to see them next month, listened to the album the other day, not over impressed so far. Trying to see will it grow on me.

If this is aimed at me, not once did i say that James Hetfield is queer, but i did say he is a pile of crap. James Hetfield is a horrible guitarist, a crappy singer, and not very good of a person in my opinion. The cd is not good, the band hasnt been good for a very long time, and even when they were good, they werent that good.

well, I don't know Jaymz personally so I can't say whether he is a good person or not...being an addict doesn't automatically make someone a bad person in my book. Is he the best singer or guitarist?probably not, but he's never made that claim that I've seen anyway. As for them not being good, now, in the past or ever...I personally would have to dispute that . Not only did they change the face of music when they hit the scene with their amped-up speed metal and influence a generation of bands...they have always stretched the boundries of that genre, tried new things and, usually successfully, managed to make tight, artistic and relevant music while doing what seemed right for them at the time.

he's an addict? whats he addicted to?

What's this thread about?









St. Anger is shit.

how shitty metallica is......at least thats what i got from it.

Only 100 words on why Metallica sucks???

I keep getting St. Anger stuck in my head and I dislike it greatly

I was useing your post as a reference, but also refered back to a post before yours where someone was saying James Hetfield was queer.

Everyone is intitled to their opinion of Metallica, and/or their music. I personaly am not totaly thrilled with every aspect of the new CD, but I have kept an open mind to except some aspects as positive. I have not changed my opinion of Metallica, and still like them. I also respect their desire to change, even if I may not like the path they have chosen at this point of their careers.

Now.. My problem is, why do people wish to make inapropriate comments about someones sexual orientation, just because they don't like them, don't know anything about them, or when the conversation doesn't even warrent such comments?..

To everyone his own Doc. :)

As to the making fun of people by calling them gay, i think thats really childish and makes the person look like an ignorant fool for saying it.

My point exactly..

Yeah I bought the album just because I used to like them before the Load bullshit...just to see if they had changed. Its different than that crap, but its still not very good. I've just been so disappointed with the album. I guess I will still keep listening to Ride the Lightning.

based on the song st. anger alone, i'm disappointed. mind you, some elements of that song are awesome, but overall metallica completely let me down. i'm starting to be more open-minded to groups i disliked before, such as linkin park, and appreciate what's good in their music, but i hold metallica to a much higher standard.

St. Anger has some damn good songs. Frantic and Some Kind of Monster are my favorites. They still remain the best band out there for me. The only other bands that have came close are REM, Tom Petty, Creed, Stone Temple Pilots, Staind, and a few others that I don't feel like mentioning. I can see how some people wouldn't like St. Anger but I personally love it. It was the first CD I ever bought. :)

-Lasereth

sweet amber and sum kind of monster are my favorites.

i find myself going back to this CD when I am driving. I tend to listen to just 4 or 5 songs though. My favorite is "Shoot Me Again".

Been listening to this almost non-stop for months now...it is classic Tallica!!!!

The whole album, not just the song :(

This album is fighting with Six Feet Under's Graveyard Classics for most unintentionally hilarious album ever. St. Anger is just awful. Anyone who said Metallica couldn't get any worse after Load and Reload have been proved wrong by this steaming pile of shit. From the shitty "production" to the idiotic lyrics to the ultra repetative and unimaginative riffing this album simply blows!
