i'm sure their are alot of people that don't know mustaine's ties to metallica and the fact they kicked him out because he was basically a drunk and a bit of a liability (metallica's story) and the scene with him and lars in "some kinda monster" paints a picture of mustaine being very angry and jealous at the band. i'm aware dave "co wrote" some material with the rest of the band and some very good stuff but they would have made it fine without him, in fact that's what they did. no question dave mustaine is very talented and his band went big after they "sold out" as they say and made some mtv and radio friendly tunes just like metallica did just a year or so earlier but only metallica in known as the band who "sold out". jason newsted said it best when asked about selling out, he said yep, we sell out, every seat in the house.

Too add to above after so long your music begins to fade a little bit I mean the last 2 MD albums were ok nothing super great but were thrashy metal, not old thrash but the elements were there. To see an original thrash band come out now a days with Hardcore and Metalcore ruling the scene is very rare but is always nice to hear somethign new and fresh Megadeth and Metallica are both putting albums out Megadeth very soon, so this will be a test to see if either of them decides to go back to the original ways

when i think of metallica i think of "puppets" not the "black album". the "black album" introduced many people myself included to metallica and after i heard it i went directly to the music store and bought their previous 4 albums and was blown away by "master of puppets" and to this day i think it's the best metal album ever recorded. so i'm kinda glad the sold out. sorry about all the """"""

it's hard to explain the shortcomings of a band like metallica to someone who hasn't played an instrument, esp. the guitar in this case, but there are deficiencies in their execution that can be downright painful to listen to, the very begininning of the first "one" solo is a perfect, glaring example. to hear playing like this is much more stasfying. it's much-better developed, goes through some really interesting changes both rhythmically and tonally, and the lead playing is phenomenal. it's extremely well-executed and technical, yet varied.

being a drummer, I'm partial to And Justice. Lars really stepped up his game for that one. After catching the Black Album tour 4 or 5 times I lost a lot of respect the band. (from a musical standpoint) They intentionally played to the new fans first only to disrespect them after they left. (stadiums cleared out after the first set) Comments along the lines of "lets get heavy now that the kids are in bed" or "NOW we can get a pit going" were commonplace at the shows I attended.
From a business standpoint they worked real hard and earned next to nothing for a long time so conforming a bit to make theirs is understandable. Touring life is tough, the time in the spotlight is short, and life is long. Cash is a must. Since conforming they have made FAT cash yet they still choose to stray from their roots. This really gives some insight as to where their heads are at.
Although I will listen to their post Black Album stuff (St Anger BLOWS at a whole new level) because its better than most of the "modern rock" that the radio spits up, it really can't be compared to music from their metal days.
Can't say they didn't warn us -
The show is through the metal is gone
It is time to hit the road
Another town another gig
Again we will explode
Hotel rooms and motorways
Life out here is raw
But we will never stop
We will never quit
Cause we are METALLICALast edited by TAPPER; 01-30-2007 at 09:38 AM.

Forgot about "Until it sleeps", that is a bad ass song. As far as the albums, I don't think any of them sucked. They are all good in their own way.

Metallica sucks now but they were badass back in the day. End of story.

King 6 has caught the correct. Well, maybe St. Anger sucked. I'm listening to "Until it sleeps" and "No Leaf Clover" from their S&M album over and over again in my car.
Skullsmasher- they didn't sell out, dude... they E V O L V E D.

For whatever reason, they completely changed their style of music to something less enjoyable, to me.

They're getting kind of old to be playing the pre Black Album material aren't they? They're starting to look like Huey Lewis and the News, for crying out loud.
