there was a thread about this topic a few months back, and i think the point was, why don't you just enjoy their old stuff and stop pissing on the new. it isn't the same kind of music, and to expect tthat would be unreasonable, and kind of sad. they've been doing music for around 23 years, and any artist or musician will tell you that people grow and change as artists in that time. deal with it. no one's making you listen to the new stuff anyway.
no, you don't understand.
growing and changing is good, yes.
making uninspired mush to bolster the bottom line is bad.
nothing against rob trujillo, or jason newstead for that matter, but unless they have managed to resuscitate cliff burton and reclaim their souls from the record company, i will have stopped caring when i hit the "add comment" button.
At least Metallica have never been boring. Whatever they do, its at least been somewhat interesting. Hell, Lars farts and it makes headlines. St. Anger what a major letdown. But there are still some worthwhile tunes on there. At least they haven't given up, either (although I bet some ppl would like it if they did). I admire The Boyz for never giving up and putting on a good show.
I wish Dave Mustaine would just kill 'em all and end this silly bullshit. Fucking end it. I mean, Slayer never pulled anything like this, ever. NEVER. Now did they? No. Sorry, but theres no excuse for a band who continuously disgraces themselves and they're fans with crap music, crap antics, and crap "come backs". Fuck Metallica. Ride a cock.
