1. Jason's right. Tallica touring with those fuks is about nothing more than money.
2. Lars was at one time a pretty decent drummer. Take a listen to Dyers Eve(track 9, Justice).
3. Kirk's the only one who listens to any sort of underground Metal and he tends to listen to shit.
4.Bloodbath is not brutal...it's in the vein of old school Death Metal. But who the fuck cares anyway?! Shit. People that brag about there tolerance level for heavy shit are stupid. I listen to ultra brutal Metal! RAHGGRRRRRRR
5.One is a great song and I hope you aren't one of those people that only enjoys the heavier part of the song. The entire dynamics of the song is killer.
Following our instinct not a trend...go against the grain until the end.

Chuck said it best:
I've never really talked to James Hetfield or Lars Ulrich, but I'll tell you one thing, I'm very sincere and passionate about remaining true to the spirit of heavy metal, cause that's what I've always believed in. I've got to nail Metallica cuz they are the complete opposite of what they started out as. They are what they criticized throughout their career when they were a metal band. It's very insulting for me as a fan to read articles with them and they're totally adamant about saying they're not a heavy metal band anymore. I've seen this in quotes, big interviews with Lars Ulrich who I think spends more time trying to look like a European model then a musician. I've read articles where James Hetfield is claiming they are not out to save heavy metal. What a horrible thing to say. A band that made it off of being heavy metal, now they're so big that they've just decided, "hey screw everyone, we're powerful and we can get away with anything." Well, they pulled a lot of shit over people's eyes but I mean a lot of people aren't blind to what they are doing. I think it's the biggest joke I've ever seen. And it's pathetic. Their musicianship is pathetic, their attitude is horrendous, basically backstabbing every metal fan that ever supported them. I mean, I was there in the beginning. They were a major influence on my music back in the early '80s. I remember trying to convert people in high school into Metallica fans. They were like, "what's this noise?" Every kid in America sported a Metallica shirt. So you know I really take it very personally, and I think their sincerity is lacking in large amounts. They basically need to change their name and stop living off of it, because the name has nothing to do with the band anymore. It's a totally different band.
Sorry for the long ass post, but I had to get that out.
