axlsch Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 i'm not a big ac/dc fan....i just like their classics like back in black, etc...and their new hit single isnt the best they've ever made but...it still fuckin rocks ! they brought that dirrty rock n roll back. and i expected that of metallica and gnr....but imo both failed. the artwork for black ice is great, too...it looks awesome on t-shirts.

EccoTides Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 (edited) Better than Metallica's new stuff? Yeah, probably.Better than GN'R's new stuff? Hell no.AC/DC's new song is good, but it's nothing new from a band that hasn't done anything new with their music for 20 years. It's catchy, but safe. Like most AC/DC songs.

Black Sabbath Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 It'll probably be better than Death Magnetic, but not Chinese Democracy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyMonk Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Death Magnetic is awesome and anyone who says otherwise is just plain wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeppelin Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Comparing the new AC/DC and Metallica releases is not going to fly well. Let's face it, one band continues to try to make modern music (Metallica), and the other just releases a standard album one after the other. I mean, Black Ice has 4 songs on the tracklisting that have the word "Rock" in there somewhere. Sheesh.I didn't mind the new AC/DC single, but everything off of Metallica's new album completely rapes it off the face of the Earth.

Demon Wolf Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 The new Queen+Paul Rodgers record is better than Metallica's latest, I'll reserve judgment for AC/DC's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's face it, one band continues to try to make modern music (Metallica), and the other just releases a standard album one after the other.Everything on the new Metallica album sounds like it could have been on a former Metallica release from the 80's on through the early 90's...modern music?Isn't what Metallica did with this release the same thing AC/DC did...swim in familiar waters (within the realms of their own distinct sound) to appease the fans?

moreblack Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 True, it's BECAUSE they stopped fucking around with "modern" and "new" sounds that Death Magnetic is going over so well. And for a band that hasn't played in that style (metal) for years and years and yeaaaars, they're still pretty damn good at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicagocoma13 Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 I think the new Metallica is great. Very progessive album with lots of tempo changes like Justice. I love the production as well. Sounds like the killer guitar/drum crunch of Master/Justice era more than any of the latter albums. There are a few weak songs but even those are not that bad. As for lyrics and vocals that people are complaining about----c,mon ---these have never been Metallica's strong point. I think his voice sounds like always on this album. As for AC/DC-- I am a huge fan for over 20 years. That being said the only album after For Those... i thought was great has been The Razors Edge. Everything else has been really weak IMHO. I don't expect much from Black Ice but will reserve judgement until I hear it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCGNR Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 I love Ac/Dc, but I admit , I've been in rush to get their last few albums....However, your point is well taken. I hear Train in the Car the other day and thought it was fantastic - I will be buying both the Metallica and the Ac/Dc albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Full Metallica AlbumYou can't compare those. Black Ice will be better than Death Magnetic, and this is coming from a guy who doesn't like Metallica, but actually gave their new album a chance, and likes it.

apocalypse Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 (edited) AWESOME!!Acdc fanboy registers to praise acdc AND denies being acdc fanboy.Well acdc fanboy, let us know ehn acdc puts out a new album, we've been waiting since 1980Anyway, will it be better than CD? Well the first single is better than any of the "leaked" CD material, so it's possible the cd as a whole will beWill it be better than DM? Uhh, no. Not unless acdc have done something they haven't done for the past 30 years and WRITE A NEW SONG.

where's izzy? Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Wasn't that impressed with Rock N' Roll Train but radio can distort things so we'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxlsAngel Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Can't say I necessarily think it will be better than those two, but I'm sure it will be great in it's own right. I've heard the new song - it's very cool! I am SO looking forward to this new album! At least we know we ARE getting this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneAXLinamillion Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Ac/Dc!!can't wait for the new album..listened to Rock n' Roll Train....really good tune...Nowadays' music misses sooooo much some real rock.... and for the record ACDC will be always superior to metallica....not even try to compare them please...

JD GNR Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Rock and Roll Train great song. The problem is its only one song we need to hear the whole album.After hearing all of Death Magnetic I say it fuckin rocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
