This entry was the first to come in, the simplest to understand and the best of the batch. From the moment it clicked into the Inbox, it was the front-runner. Unsurprisingly, it garnered a strong reaction from everyone. A couple people despised it; everyone else loved it.
Why does Metallica suck? May all who find my reason unjustified hear the aforementioned song with extreme precaution. To those who have had the misfortune of hearing the track the final one on Swizz Beatz's album "G. Stories" I figure no explanation is necessary. The way Meyer gets to the heart of the matter is ingenious. Without disparaging hip-hop as a whole or getting into nasty cross-genre warfare, this brief essay -- a koan, really -- lays bare the fact that Metallica's slut-easy willingness to collaborate with such middling talents as Ja Rule just because they're "down" is a prime indicator of how low the group has fallen.
Should Metallica hate rap? But should they make rap records? Good work Curtis. Again, a wide variety of grades for this piece.
Some people gave it a three on our scale to 10, others were so pleased with they gave it a nine. Yes, they cut their hair. Yes, they wear makeup. And yes, they tour with cock-monkey bands. However, the real reason Metallica sucks is that they have grown tired of metal and hungry for money.
Sure, they used to rock the fucking balls off your parents' house when you played them in '86, but the double-bass drums sound softer when they're filled with cash.
I can picture Lars and his lawyers rolling nude in piles of money, laughing at the dickholes that are still willing to pay top dollar for their symphony-remixes of the same old shit. At some point one of them must've stopped dry-humping stacks of hundreds, wiped their diarrhea mustache and agreed to allow "Unforgiven" to be interpreted into elevator Muzak. I know this because I heard the shit while three old folks tapped their brittle feet to the mellow beat as I wondered if hell was a hospital elevator.
Furthermore, they have continued to suck AND swallow by jacking up the prices of their tickets and merchandise. It seems the more their music rolls downhill into a pit of "alternative" dogshit, the more they think they're worth. Plain and simple, a band that is more hardcore about their image and record sales than their depleting fanbase is I will still argue that "Hit the Lights" is the greatest metal song ever. Definitely the most literate and thoughtful of the batch, it's both straightforward and seethingly contemptuous of Metallica's "cock-monkey" peers.
The way Randazzo weaves lines like "dry-humping stacks of hundreds" into an essay that also trumpets the glory of "Hit the Lights" is literary perfection.
Breakin' it down science-class style. You gotta love the chart. Jewell eloquently nails the arc and decline of the band with the comparison of his mother's reaction to hearing the band's music in different eras. Well Metallica went Disney radio pop star band. They were a great band at one time. This move is just your apotheosis into the avatars of bored old rich guys hoping for some fresh press.
I feel after this album they totally changed there direction even more. Whether they want to admit it or not. The band I was in awe with I was now thinking tf is this? Those first 4 albums were just phenomenal. By going along with this, you are allowing the corporate poptart jerks to hijack metal for their financial gains. You are literally making pop and metal into one. Turning thrash into commercialized, billboard, bubblegum garbage. You could do the soundtrack for mamamia pt.
I got no issue with Snoop. He at least is an OG. I lost them after Justice also, but the newest stuff is pretty good. I have listened to Metallica for over 30 years and had the ability to meet them twice, I can see there is a lot of opinions about the band that are unfounded They are not sell outs. This record will raise a lot of money for various charities and cancer research. I forgot that fact when i posted some comments that i ended up removing Please keep this in mind when you post negative things about a record that will help people.
I cant wait to hear Miley Cyrus sing with Metallica I like both artists and cant wait to see what they come up with as a group. Rock On and by the cd it will help some one out. The truth. Metallica is Metallica. If you started following the band long before the Black Album, the only good stuff that appeared after that, metal wise, was garage days 1st release.
Metallica Metallica it is a pop band, thus why complain about Miley. Pop is pop, pop sells, is plastic. Metal stayed in the garage. BTW, this article really sucks. Hey field a great singer? Will never beat a Paul Dia no. Metallica died with Cliff. They never sold out. Philip Anselmo is a better lead singer too. I could name a dozen singers. James is tone deaf because he is deaf in real life.
His rockabilly weird singing style is not that great. It is ALL for the money. Maybe James can sing Wrecking Ball with Miley. Kiss and Motley Crue are the same way.
Neither one of them can sing anymore but want to stay relevant and make loads of cash. Now, we have musicians and performers.
Musicians create music to express themselves. Musicians follow their ideas and vision in order to express themselves. Like it or not, Metallica has to the best of my knowledge always followed their vision, so they are not sell-outs. They come up with all the music, lyrics, composition, and arrangements.
Let me give you an example. Aerosmith was losing popularity and agreed to collaborate with Run DMC to become relevant again. Aerosmith uses songwriters while Metallica never has. We may not like it, but they are expressing themselves through their own ideas.
They come up with new ways to challenge themselves and stray away from their thrash roots. So, they are obviously doing it for the money, right? Actually no, it takes more balls to try new things at the risk of losing your fan base. Fair enough but, Metallica has played twice the shows and played at least 1 hr more per show on average. Nobody out-performed them. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. MetalCastle — All about Rock and Metal.
I mean seriously, you lose your credibility when you overpraise the artists you write about. Metallica stopped being Metallica in the 80s. Email me if you disagree, James. All of those typos gave me cancer. Please fire this writer for his absolute mediocrity. That is the gayest picture shown above. They look like two women. Last okay album Saint anger, But i stick with 80s.
But there is only one American band brave enough to defy these conventions so hard that they shatter them, and that band is Metallica. Kirk treated the Kobayashi Maru. They laugh in its face; they crap in a paper bag, light it on fire, and leave it flaming on the doorstep as they ride their metaphorical skateboards away, cackling with impish glee. Much like the Beatles, Metallica showed up to the party, changed music forever, then suddenly left without so much as a goodbye.
Not by imploding like the Beatles did, but by making the conscious decision to actively and enthusiastically sell out and make populist, semi-generic hard rock albums that sold like hotcakes. Get rich. Once their lineup cohered with bassist Cliff Burton and guitarist Kirk Hammett, the band set about recording an album full of musically ambitious, virtuosically played songs brimming with speed, raw energy, and exuberance.
They were insular, escapist fantasies for rageful losers for whom life was nothing but one long high school hallway, populated by an endless succession of jocks shoving you into one locker after another. They mooched off their original bassist Ron McGovney while actively courting Burton as a replacement behind his back, then passive-aggressively convinced McGovney to quit by electrocuting his instrument with beer. They fired their original lead guitarist, a lunatic boozehound drug dealer named Dave Mustaine, after a rift that began when he punched Hetfield in the face for kicking his dog, and ended when he woke up the day after a show with the rest of the band standing in front of him holding a cross-country bus ticket in his face.
After Burton was killed in a tragic bus accident, Metallica spent the next two years drunkenly torturing their new bassist Jason Newsted by tossing his shit out of hotel windows and telling people he was gay behind his back. This was a bizarre, disrespectful decision that could have potentially undermined their own record, but they did it anyway, because as we have established, part of what made Good Metallica so great is that truly gave no fucks.
