Metallica should have retired years ago. The only possible way that Metallica can salvage themselves as decent metal band of today would be to do the following:
1. Kick Lars out immediately and replace him with any outstanding metal drummer (George Kollias would be nice)
2. Hetfield does not sing ever again. Seriously does he think his vocals are decent for modern metal? Replace Hetfield on vocal duties with Jeffrey Walker from Carcass. He can also play bass so let go of Rob while we are at it.
3. Hire just about any current current technical metal guitarist (possibly Dylan Ruskin of Braindrill as well as Michael Keene from the Faceless) have them teach James Hetfield how to write a decent technical modern metal song. They will also be touring and playing alongside James.
4. Kirk has his wahs thrown away permanently and is demoted to 4th rhythm guitarist after he takes lessons from just about any technical metal guitarist.
Metallica is laid to waste by nearly every mainstream death metal band as far as skill and song writing goes on every instrument. They have simply not kept up with the times of metal. This is the biggest problem that faces Metallica's continual relevancy in music. Otherwise they will just be remembered for their "good ole days" instead of making better and heavier music.
This is all IMO. The band needs a complete overhaul if they wish to become better musically.
Nobody gives a fuck about Metallica being some kind of terrible tech metal band, least of all them. Nobody listens to Metallica to comment on how AWESOME AND BRUTAL they are. I would much rather have Hetfield '09 sing than any death metal singer going.
They will be relevant long after all the death metal bands of the world are done.
I really hope this post is a troll. I don't know if I've ever read anything quite as retarded.
