Any Metallica fans on the PJ board?

Load is ok at best. Re load sucks balls. St Anger is awesome. Death Magnetic is awesome. I don't get why people say that DM is an attempt to go back to their roots. They never lost their roots, they just tried a few new things.

Lars even said that, like it or hate it, St Anger had to be made in order to get DM. It was sort of their transitional, get the past out of the way record.

They are heavy metal's version of U2. Some experiments work, some don't (can you say Pop?). I'd rather them take a different direction and fail than make the same album over and over again. A perfect example of that is The Rolling Stones. Or ACDC. Or Aerosmith. All good in their heyday, now just a mere parody of themselves.

Fantastic live band too. Got to see them 3 times.

Not a huge fan, but I can support this. I've seen them twice, and they owned both times.

This post is full of delusions.

St Anger awesome? Not by a long shot
DM IS an attempt to go back to their roots, it just failed.
They lost their roots. Check Load, ReLoad, and St. Anger
St Anger has no relation to the music they made before. It's crappy numetal
Heavy Metal U2?? Who the fuck needs that.
The newest albums from the Stones and ACDC kick the crap outta St A and DM.

Your comment about Aerosmith is the only conceivable thing.

Not everyone can have the same perception...

Completely agree. I always have a blast at their shows. I'll be seeing them again next week

[malcyrvs]

IMO;
Death Magnetic was marvellous.
Saw them at Earls Court way back when (Cunning Stunts) they blew my mind.
Saw them at Knebworth (Big Day Out) was okay.
Saw them at The O2 in September 2008 (Death Magnetic Release party £5 a ticket) were excellent.
Saw them at The O2 in March 2009 (Death Magnetic World Tour) they blew my mind again.

Used to be a massive Metallica fan, like a lot of people on here they were the first band that I got into of my own free will.

Saw them back in '91 for the first time and they were fantastic. Played for over two and a half hours and my ears were ringing for three days!

Saw them again in 92 at Donington, at the Monsters of Rock festival (AC/DC headlined) and again in '92 on the black album tour. They were fantastic live all three times, but are not a band I would go to see live now. I don't know why, but it just doesn't seem the same since Jason left.

I agree say what is Jason up to these days?

As far as I know he's still in the band he created which, ultimately, led to his departure.

I think they're called Echo Brain but I may be wrong.

No offence to the current bassist (see, I don't even know his name), but when Jason was in Metallica he had his own persona and seemed to fit very well into the band. Of course this was all before James dissapeared up his own ass and there was loads of friction between the band members.

That friction probably starts with superstar LARS. Jason's old band was Flotsam Jetsam way back, he was my favorite member of the band when he started in the late 80's.

I'm not deluded. I have an opinion. St Anger is not by far nu metal. Nu metal is crap to me. St Anger to me was something that sounded like nothing before, by any band.

U2 was an example of a band that has longevity in their respective genre, because they take risks, try new things, and to me that's respectable. They succeed. They fail. Whether you like their music is irrelevant to what my post states. I don't like half of what they put out.

AC/DC has put out the same album 27 times. They are trash.

However, they're entertaining in concert.
