Another new Metallica song

some momos on BM are saying that the WHOA parts of the songs are placeholders for future lyrics ... am I a gullible dodo for believing this?
not that it will make a difference in a weird punky song ...
 
Holy shit that is the fucking funniest solo I've ever heard. Reminds me of the Ynwie ones on Youtube.
 
what happened to THIS band?

those awesome solos, energy, just kickass attitude? Cliff and James looking like the biggest badasses in rock? ... man ... oh man.

Master is still the holy grail in so many ways though ... we can't take that away from them.

So the new Zelda for DS looks good, not the windwaker-esque one, The Twilight Princess.
I thought that was for Gamecube?

As for the song, I couldn't get past the first minute.
 
though i gotta say

the first "new song" (i.e. not this one) is actually like probably the best thing i've heard from them since justice, or at least the black album.* yeah really. it's grown on me












* not saying much but i actually enjoy listening to it kinda, it is catchy and it has proper riffs unlike the entire last album which of course was the biggest trainwreck in musical history

It's pretty decent after extensive listening. Curious to hear what they turn it in to once it comes time to lay it down in the studio.
 
I enjoyed the first new song when I saw it at Download, and I still enjoy it now. This new one sucks really, really hard. I don't even have anything against punk in particular - there are a few Bad Religion tracks I quite enjoy, for instance - but this is just poor.

Lizard: Me personally, I actually like a few tracks from 'Load' (The House Jack Built, The Outlaw Torn, Hero Of The Day) and 'Re-Load' (Fixxer, The Unforgiven II), and I while I think St Anger is the worst thing Metallica's released, I don't get explosive diarrhea from hearing it or anything. I just think this most recent song really, really blows.
 
I'm also amused by people who go out of their way to bash Metallica, presumably from disappointments over their past sins, but more in a "why waste your energy? Didn't St. Anger prove they had lost the plot once and for all? And even a deaf guy could tell you James' voice is shot to pieces" kind of way. It will be funny to see them blow it again, that we can all admit.
