Fun with Metal!

They were. Just not cry babies yet. . Yeah he does. I feel like he's just a guy who's just been in the right places at the right time. Nothing he says is groundbreaking. The other guy is an early purveyor of the man bun. So you know he's douchy.

I like the way the Wiki for the the black album says that Metallica choose Bob Rock because of his recent success with Dr. Feelgood. Because you know nothing screams thrash metal like getting the producer of Motley Crue!!

 

[redfly]

Yeah for real Motley was Metallica's favorite target in those days.

 

[Slammed]

Yeah to me if it's true it shows that Lars and James were not ever writing thrash they were writing for the charts. Just like people are constantly saying everything Sneap records sounds the same there was no way Bob Rock was ever going to produce Master Of Puppets II or Kill 'Em All II, he was looking for the commercial success of Dr Feelgood.

 

[redfly]

Absolutely.

I remember reading an interview that Guitar World did with James back around the time of the Load albums and when they asked him about his influences he listed a bunch of southern rock bands like Skynyrd and Molly Hatchet.

Presumably those influences were present throughout his life, yet he (and Lars) still wrote some genre defining music before that. I don't have a problem with musos finding influence in bands like that, but it does seem like James circa Kill Em All and Master Of Puppets is a completely different person to James post Black album. To me it's almost like they didn't have the permission to play anything other than thrash before the Black album, then after it they were allowed to open up, talk about less 'metal' influences and record songs that were less than the metal that made them popular, so they embraced it.

I read about Cliff liking those bands a lot. But when I read about it Jame's made it sound like he didn't really know or like that stuff back then. I wonder when that happened?

 

[Slammed]

Kid Rock covered/sampled Skynard and James wanted to be as hip as the Kid

 

[redfly]

That sounds really plausible .

 

[Slammed]

Sadly it does

Passed this truck on the way to school this morning no guesses as to what he does for a living.

 

[redfly]

Oh wow. No words. They should have sent a poet.
I can't imagine how much that truck cost, let alone with all the graphics. To do something so classless (while funny) blows my mind.
Everyone in the neighborhood is gonna be thinking about someone else's dumps!

 

[Slammed]

I'd much rather drive the truck than clean septic tanks but I don't think that would be the job description.

Oh for sure! But you're right it's probably the same guy. He doesn't want to share his brown gold!

 

[Slammed]

Imagine being the guy who rings up people and says "I want to collect all your shit!"

 

[redfly]

I'd rather not. .

 

[Slammed]

Not your dream job?

 

[redfly]

Hard pass

 

[Slammed]

It wont all have be hard to pass
