Metallica & Friedman JJ Amp!

[The Hoff]

I guess I'm fanboi. I still love watching, hearing, seeing Metallica.

I said it over at TGP, might as well say it here.
In this pic, James looks like the Daily Affirmations guy from Saturday Night Live.
Stuart Smalley, "I'm good enough. I'm smart enough. And doggone it, people like me."

Even a incredible amp like that friedman wont help them now!
metallica is a past tense and has been for a long time
last good record was justice.

 

[some dude]

It would be interesting if Metallica didn't happen to own one of pretty much every amp on the planet.

 

[steve_k]

Still better music and tone than most of the other rat shit drop Z, 8 string wanking going on these days. Nobody can fill a stadium like Metallica.

 

[RockyStar]

All the haters will be lining up to get the record on release day..lol. For such a washed up band they sure are busy selling tickets and playing places to sold out crowds hating to see them. Enough already people...

 

[tech21man]

They have a ton of stuff because they want to and can in a sense. And why not. Who wouldn't in their shoes.

As always "haters" start with the "done for, shitty tone whatever old ass band" and weak ass smileys. Where is the middle finger one?

Tone is a personal thing and I also don't like his diezel era (I don't like the Vh4 or any diezel other than the einstein but so what...). And...?

To say that they are done and no record is good after mop or justice or whatever is stupid and ignorant. It usually comes from half ass players that think they should play in hammett's place and can't layer a riff correctly without pro tools or reaper and manage to extract mediocre to shitty tone from thousand dollars rig. And if they met hetfield they'd surely lick his armani and fashion for all slippers and post a thread of how a cool dude he still is and they met him...Pff fuck off.

They ARE metallica. Even if they put out a collection of 10 shitty songs the 11th is bound to have something great. A riff, a verse an intro whatever. Fanboi aside it's always interesting to hear what they do.
Meanwhile you have more technical guitarists that fuck up when they try to play metallica...Look at how josh rand from stone sour screwed the creeping death timing. He only got the multieffected lead tone of that era right...

 

[peterc52]

He fucked that solo up pretty hard.

A band as huge as Metallic is damned if they do and damned if the don't. If they kept making records like their first 4 people would say they keep writing the same stuff. They change things up a bit and "they sold out". People grow and change musically.

 

[WizardSouth-JP]

as long as Lars isn't in charge of the mix, I dig it - they should just call Andy Sneap and be done with anyone else.

So a person has to be a badass musician to have an opinion? In my opinion AJFA was an ok album. The first three were amazing. I haven't been able to listen to any album since in it's entirety. I'm sure if I had the chance to meet James it would be no different then the hundreds of other known musicians I have met, no licking or gushing.



Oh yeah.....Fuck off

Amen…notice the song given as an example of tough for a "pro" to nail was from the era we all say is the golden era of that band so kind of makes our point that after that era is pretty much a write off. I always love it when people mention "they fill stadiums" as a defense. Why not, when their set list is primarily material from when they were amazing.

"They ARE metallica. Even if they put out a collection of 10 shitty songs the 11th is bound to have something great. A riff, a verse an intro whatever."

Wow, what a low bar for a band to still be worthy. I can't imagine any artist I would still buy from where a whole album is shit but wait, there's a good section in there somewhere.

Steve…I agree about your feelings about the drop Z array of crap out there. I wish Metallica were the antidote but they just never will be….IMO

Everyone defending them. Can you honestly say any album in the last 20 years is amazing or classic? That you can listen to the whole thing on repeat? You're defending them as an institution, not as a band that actually produces great music. Too many bands, just as old, still tear it up and play extremely well, so "they're older" is not it. Some artists can evolve and change and still be great. These guys were experts at a certain style and just didn't have it at anything else. Mentally they needed to change which is totally cool but artistically it killed them.

I think the Black album was awesome (so does MILLIONS of other people) and think LOAD was decent and ReLOAD was ok. Can't say they are better or worse then the older stuff. Just different. I didn't care for St. Anger and haven't even listened to Death Magnetic

Dude, if you don't think that Load and Re-load are definitely worse you need to turn in your metal card...immediately….

I can thank the Black Album for getting me into AJFA. I passed on AFJA after a few listens but after the Black album came out, it was so damn dull accept for Sad But True and The Unforgiven that I went and re-visited AJFA. Granted after listening to it for a while it fell by the wayside. Has a few standouts but as a whole I find it fatiguing.

 

[headlessdeadguy]

I threw my CD of the black album out the car window on the way home from the record store. Still haven't listened to it other than when it's on the radio and I can't change the channel fast enough.

 

[skoora]

I wonder if the feeling a lot of us had when we first heard the black album was akin to Dylan's fans freaking out when he went electric. That feeling of fuck, it's over.

I remember feeling that way when realizing after Still Got The Blues, Gary Moore wasn't going to do hard rock anymore.

It was for me! MOP still blows me away the couple of times a year I listen to it. It's a masterpiece

Nothing like pretentious pricks trying to hate on people successful in their chosen crafts. LMAO.

I find Sad But True and The Unforgiven probably the most boring on the album. I prefer Struggle Within and God That Failed. Funny that you liked the radio friendly singles and not the deeper songs

Only some dickhead calling people pricks for stating their opinions. LMAO!
