Lars Ulrich misses UK concert

Lars backed out of the Download Festival for unknown reasons


his long time Drum Tech played on Fade to Black

While Dave Lombardo(Slayer) did 2 songs with Metallica


the rest of the set was done by Joey Jordison of Slipknot

Now if only Metallica would break up. First Creed, then Metallica? I might actually consider having hope for mainstream music again.

*thinks about that last idea*

Nah... I'm not that foolish. I'm sure the voids will be filled with something even worse.

This article was taken from another thread. Just below the Metalica story is a story on the Burlesue show.

Say what you will about Slipknot, but Jordison is one hell of a drummer.

hes also a great guitrist


very small guy tho

was there. more like a dream IMO, like when will you see slayer/slipknot playing with metallica. was pissed off only at the fact that metallica didnt say how long they would be delayed so didnt go to see suicidegirls even though i would of had enough time if told.

how was Machine Head??

Smaller miracles have occured.

God damn, why does everyone here have to bitch at Metallica so much, where the hell are all the Met fans?!

*queue the obvious Metallica are shit now remarks *

They stopped being any good ten years ago.

I'm a Met fan, always have been and always will be. I love how they've grown as a band. It's really annoying when people go on about how none of their new stuff is as good as 'Ride...' or 'Puppets' but people have to remember, theres not much that is better than those albums. Their classics and for Metallica to just carry on copying themselves (*cough*...like slayer....*cough*) would be sacriligeous.

'tallica Rock

\m/ \m/

psst.... the SG's were there

Have you seen the trailer for the Metallica documentary film? It's like MTV's Real World, the way that band acts offstage.

Metallica called it a career after ... And Justice For All.

That silly band on MTV, all over the radio, and fighting mp3 wars who calls themsleves Metallica is a completely different band.

i always loved metallica.

i forgave them that 'load' was utter bilge, i forgave them that 'reload' somehow actually managed to be worse.

the moment they bitched about napster, the day they decided that piddling little things like fans who paid for their fucking existances, no longer mattered. then i realised they were nothing more than the corporate whores they'd always railed against.

seems lars forgot the days he was busy taping diamond head albums for his friends was every bit a copyright violation as those checking out the new metallica albums.

fuck them. up the arse. with a red spikey rubber dick.

that day, the band who'd always tried to cross new boundaries had become dire straits, only with even worse hair styles.

the metallica i loved to hear and watch died in the early 90's, the silly fuckers fannying around the globe now might as well be a covers group.

It seems like the majority of Metallica fans are in the UK these days.

It's just the cool thing to do now. Some people are still bitter about the napster fiasco, or that everything after ...and justice for all wasn't "metal" enough.

I still dig their stuff now, even if they don't have much credibility left. But who cares ? There isn't an artist out there who hasn't sold a part their soul for something at some point in their career or another.

I don't hate them because it's "cool" or whatever. I've hated them since the mid-80's. I just don't like hypocrasy... plain and simple. You know, some of us are actually capable of forming opinions based on real personal preference and not the current trends, which I find all too easy to ignore... and I could give a rat's ass about how "metal" they are. That means nothing to me. I just never, ever liked 'em, and their behavior of late makes me dislike them even more.

What? Totally wrong!

Just because you don't see it or read it in a paper, doesn't mean it hasn't happend.

I don't go on what I "see or read in the paper", I go on what I know. The Damned has been making records and touring for 28 years and even though they haven't made a solid decent album since 1984, they still do it because THEY LOVE TO DO IT. That's the difference... and they're not the only ones.

Metallica has been in the buisness for 24 years. people who shit on them havent been in it a day. the real threat from Napster was a hit on catalog sales, and Met had just managed to rape Electra for the best catalog sales percentage in the history of the buisness. you know who sells the most catalog sales?

1-The Beatles
2-Metallica

morons can rant and rave all they want, metallica houses there website guys in their complex, and opens up every faccet of their life to the fans. so blah blah blah about The Damned and whatever else anyone may say in this thread. There's never been 4 guys who plug in and do it any better.

ps. St Anger is the best thrash metal album in the last 10 years

Well Metallica has been making records and touring for over 20 years, and according to a lot of people they may not have made a single decent album in their career but they're still going. Which tells me their pockets still need more padding or THEY LOVE TO DO IT TOO.
