Metallica (Bad News if it happens)

[Battman]

Since I now a lot of Metallica fans (fans of their first 4 or 5 cds at least) browse here, I thought I'd share this link. If this is true, I'm going to cry.

This is HORRIBLE if the news is true. What has happenned to Metallica. Cliff Burton, the world needs you.

 

[Guerrilla]

That's bullshit. Metallica's not even worthy to tour with Linkin Park and Limp Bizkit.

 

[neal]

metallica has already played shows with korn and other nu-metal acts. big deal, they turned thier backs on metal years ago anyway. fuck em.

[ZANEX]

Yes, Metallica sold out a long time ago. I'm glad Newstead is in VoiVoid, so maybe he can redeem himself.

Okay... Metallica... touring? That would mean they have a bass player? Man, I'm just trying to keep the thought of Metallica touring w/Linkin Park and Limp Bizkit as much out of my conscious as possible now... But that's no use, sooooooo That is so wrong. Shit, I wonder how kickass the song on their new album featuring Nsync is going to sound. Off the chain, I'm sure That was a sad and horrible joke. They'll be on TRL beofre you know it, people. I can't believe those 3 think they can actually do this without expecting to see a bunch of their old fans show up at the concert, eggs, rotten fruit and shit ready.

 

[Lies and Perfidy]

Uh, guys? Just a thought...since when was the fucking DJ from Linkin Park the most reliable source? I'll believe it when I hear it from Metallica.

And on a side note, how do people feel about Maiden offering the opening slot ot Sum-41? It's the same principle.

 

[PlatypusJesus]

Yeah, but Maiden are still making Metal.

Bob Rock was playing for Metallica live recently.

not that I give a shit.

Plus, they are and always have been better than metallica.
Add to that, Sum41 hasn't single handedly destroyed the public image of Metal.

 

[mReEtTaIlRsEkD]

And Neal makes a damn fucking GOOD point.

Metallica toured with a bunch of nu-metal fucks years ago, why the fuck you people acting so goddamn surprised.

 

[azal]

wasn't metallica saying their new stuff resembles Meshuggah??


LOFL

 

[PlatypusJesus]

"Plus, they are and always have been better than metallica."
Great point, I agree.

 

[neal]

What a fucking crock of festering shit that has been placed on a man's face. I don't care if they did it before, I go thorugh cardiac arrest every time they do this.

Ok man. I agree with you about the guitarists of LP, LB, and korn....but kirk hammett? (and the list goes on an on???)

Dude, even if you detest metallica for what they've become, saying that sum 41 has a better guitarist than kirk hammett is quite arguable.

Unless you're talking about shit like "I dissapear", perhaps. But compare the ripping solos from "one" and such to ANY sum41 song and it seems obvious who takes the trophy.

 

[Aethernal]

As retched, horrifying, and detestable that it is that Metallica is playing with those bands, I actually feel more pain in seeing that Maiden might be playing with the adolescent pop-princes.

WHAT??

Over the years, Metallica has proven that their integrity has damn near, if not vanished completely. But Maiden has continued to deserve some form of respect for keeping their heads on straight.

So I very much hope that fans can keep the respect for Maiden and that this whole Sum 41 shit is a vicious rumor.

 

[[_NevermorE_]]

i don't think that maiden will ever give up! they're rock'n'roll addicts! not as long as they've Janick Gers, that old fashioned rocker, haha...
