gernm18 Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 Ain't My Bitch is pure garbage.And Metallica don't make Hard Rock, guys, sorry to bring it to you. pure garbage? wtf is wrong with u man? is ur hatred towards metallica so strong that it made u deaf or dumb?sorry dude but load and reload are pretty damn good hard rock albums.. not all of the songs are great but some of them are pretty damn cool, hard rock isnt supposed to be all complex like their old thrashy metal stuffcool songs in load= aint my bitch, 2x4, the house that jack built, UNTIL IT SLEEPS, king nothing, bleeding me, etc. --- if u dont like any of those songs and u say u like rock or hard rock there's something really wrong with ureload= fuel, the memory remains, unforgiven 2, waste my hate, better than you, etc.any good rock band that was starting at the time wouldve loved to write one of those songs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Projected Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 Untill it Sleeps, Unforgiven II and Fuel are the only great songs from those two albums.METALLICA IS NOT HARD ROCK!!! Those albums were very weak, and it only went downhill from there (except for the great S&M). Finishing off with St. Anger which is pure pure PURE shit. Not one song that is good, only one song - Some Kind of Monster is listenable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santana Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 I just love how Metallica is given so much shit for being the only metal band with the balls to do their own thing and not conforming to what everyone else wants. Would I like it if they put out another album that sounded like Master Of Puppets? Of course I would, but you know what? I've been listening to that album since 1986, I don't need another album that sounds like MOP. And that's exactly what makes Metallica the best; they aren't afraid to grow and change.

But that's exactly what they did.They sold out. Their music became more and more commercial and poppy. St. Anger is a nu metal album for god's sake!

Guest Conga Fissure Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 Progressive ambition is nice.....but Metallica's St. Anger is just shit. Lars Ulrich, Adolf Hitler of Metallica.They've sold out against anything they've ever said. An interview back in the 80s conveys this when compared to how new Metallica is. "RTL" is their best. :krider: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raas Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 (edited) I think they went downhill after TBA.They changed on every album from kill em all to TBA too but it was still great music then.Unforgiven 2god I hate that song. Don't mix country and metal. Edited December 16, 2004 by Raas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gernm18 Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 ^ how the fuck is the unforgiven 2 country?and projected dude- st anger i know it sucks but some kind of monster is so not the best song... the unnamed feeling and invisible kid are pretty damn decent, especially the unnamed feeling, which has pretty good lyrics and good singingand yes metallica was hard rock in load and reload man... why would u call those albums metal?i dont see how they sold out... a band is supposed to sound the same always? hell no, maybe their music sounded more commercial but.. who is anybody to say that they did it for the money... that's just a matter of opinion but yeah if u only listen to an album like load and reload with a damn closed mind thinking it's gonna suck because u hate metallica just for cutting their hair then ... you're the one who sucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
