Metallica. Sellouts AND they prosecute their own fans. em. Their last great album was Justice......Black was OK...the rest FAIL.
Their new album "Death Magnetic" comes out September 12th.
Here's a couple songs from it:
Cyanide (Live)
The Day That Never Comes

don't like the song
I'm not going to listen to that garbage so my thoughts will be based on the arrogant backasswards approach they took within the industry and their ability to aggrivate, annoy and attempt to manipulate the general public by shutting down blogs they promoted as honest and fair reviews.
Metallica for all eternity. Their music went to anyway and to be quite honest it was overrated in the first place....including their early that everyone wants to tout as life altering and epic. It was average or slightly above average at best.
Metallica did produce the greatest do entary ever - Some Kind of Monster. I laughed so hard during it.
Cyanide sucked. Won't listen to more cause of it. Old Metallica is great, anything new blows including Black.
I remember my first ever thread on Spurstalk was about how much I hated Metallica, and how I think they suck after Black Album.
I forget who I was arguing against
Is this album produced by Rick Rubin....if so than it's a monumental step up from Bob Rock. That alone is what's keeping me intrigued. I do agree that pre Black album is where it's at. Yes, post black album there a few songs that are ok, but from an album standpoint they are lacking.
These new songs are pretty decent.....still I here that there is the Unforgiven 3 on this new album....should let that trend die....
New song: "My Apocalypse"

Meh. Sounds like St. Anger. The snare still sounds like , WTF?
Awful. They just don't have it anymore. I used to think Hetfield had a commanding voice. He just sounds like a whiny pussy now. It sounds like he's trying to sound like Tom Araya on the "My Apocalypse" song.
Lars has to be one of the worst drummers I've ever heard. Is his kit even tuned?
The guitar tone is slightly better than some previous albums over the last few years but it's still monumentally weak.
"The Day The Never Comes" is a rehash of their same new crap. Nothing original.
I liked Black, but everything since then has been embarrassingly awful.
i used to like metallica, but they aren't even harder than this guy.

30 second samples of each song.
The new album should be led "Some Kind of phony"
The Artists Formerly Known as Metallica have sucked ever since the Black Album. And Ulrich is one of the weakest drummers in the history of metal. Guys like Dave Lombardo, Frost, Gene Hoglan, and hammer could drum circles around that hack.
And Mustaine owns their asses, not sure why he's still so bitter at them.
Metallica may be crap nowadays, but Kirk Hammett is ace.
Nothing more needs to be said about Metallicrap than that.
Metallica was pretty ing awesome, but ever since after the VERY FIRST NOTE they played they have sucked pretty bad after that. But that one note they first ever played was pretty good.
If sound had a smell. . . it'd be smell like three year old pie, topped with swirling and a -coated cherry sitting on a table in a room with a dead man si ng in his own and piss and vomit and other bodily fluids for three years.
EDIT (After listening to it a second time, I thought I would do my assesment of the song justice by adding on to the initial one)
. . and who died during the process of making a "painting" done on a 15 by 10 ft. canvas for which the medium was , and which is still in the room, a room which has also been polluted with the nasty smell of dead, rotting, oozing, covered bodies of at least 20 people, whose iden ies range from friends and neighbors of the original man to cops and investigators who died shortly after stepping foot in the house due to the unfathomable smell as they tried to find out what was going on.

Hanneman and King both go on record saying that Kirk Hammett is the most overrated guitarist in today's rock scene.
He's layed down some pretty nasty stuff over the years for that to hold much weight.
King would know overrated.
Sounds like St. Anger revisited.
I currently prefer listening to the new Slipknot mixed in with NIN's Year Zero and The Fragile. Been on that kick for a few days.
I feed my hard rock jones with Tool, these days. Metallica is so last decade, sue your fans, release albums today. They treated Jason like total , too. He was in the band for like 16-17 years, and they treated him like a studio musician the whole time.
