We're all Metallica Fanboys in denial

In the "golden times" I pick up the title of" metal steve" by ill fate. As the other guitar player in my band could not and still can not play much beyond the Ramones. He crowned me as such. I think Battery was the song. I am a little to drippy for such a title.
 
I love St. Anger. :thumbsup: Very Enjoyable to listen to. Love the guitar tone.

Before you say, "Ha, 'PapaHett'.. You'll eat any shit they put out".. I've grown out of Metallica alot, it used to be that i'd listen to nothing but Metallica. Now-adays, Metallicas probably the rarest thing to be played in my music collection. Although it is still nice to sit down to a bit of Metallica.
 
if you fucks actually knew what you were talkn about you would be dangerous or the next U.S. president. they are burnt out with a large bank account. nothing last forever.

I thought you left! I mean, I haven't seen you talk about how evil I am lately.
 
I am a Metallica fanboy and most certainly not in denial. :yes: :D
 
I love Metallica. I started playing guitar because of that band. Just grabbed a set of Hetfield EMGs a couple days ago, and they sound fucking great. Im gassing for a Mrak series pretty fuckin hard right now, too.
 
I have 2/3 of the Binge and Purge boxed set CDs in my trucks cd changer right now.
 
Bump mania/running gag aside...I'll always love old Metallica, but they are more "hall of fame" for me than a relevant current band. Plenty of "older" guys are still going strong (Testament, Overkill, Kreator, etc.) with the new material too, so it can be done (though yeah, they can still bring it live at times).

And I really am a fanboy and not a basher, I don't hate their popular success, I just have unrealistic dreams like they would work with say Flemming one more time and make a balls out thrash album.
 
James is a force, no doubt, but for me Metallica died Sept. 27, 1986.
 
I still love Metallica. Was rocking AJFA this weekend and loving it. :rock:

I will even listen to "The Black Album" and find something redeeming as compared to anything they put out after it.

Load & Re-Load...horrible. St. Anger...WAT? Death Magnetic...I want to like it, but the album just doesn't "do it" for me.

Even though I'm disappointed with their more recent work, they will always one of the greatest bands to ever grace a stage.
 
Metallica was dead to me after AJFA. While personally disappointing I don't enjoy more of their material, I have plenty to be thankful for. :rock:
 
Not nearly as big into them as I was 10-15 years ago, but I'll always go when they come to town.

Don't quite have as many sig guitars as I had a while back, but I still have a few James and Kirk sig and sig-inspired guitars, too.
 
When I saw them last in sold out Phillips Arena....

They looked quite alive and rocked he fucking house!

:rock: :rock: :rock:

20,000 other people screaming Sad But True was pretty crispy. When the haters can do the same, they get some cred.
 
I'm not a metallica fan. I play a vigier into an engl invader. Bumblefoot on the other hand....
 
There's lots I dislike about the band, but they deserve all the kudos in the world for MoP, which in my eyes is in the pantheon of best metal albums ever released.

Sure, they changed their sound, and so would you, after so many years of writing / practicing / performing the same songs and styles. I may not where they went, but I can certainly appreciate the 'why' factor.
