Metallica - Death Magnetic

[Will Bozarth]

he was joking about how they were hyping up St. Anger

I can tell that this will be ALOT better... lets hope they don't crush my hopes

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

lol.

I don't see how it could be crushed. We're hoping for something BETTER than Stanger, and I'm pretty sure we're going to see it.

By the way, all that stuff Truijio was doing was fuckin' cool.

will i had no idea you were such a big metallica fan. do you really pay money for access to their fan site?

 

[Will Bozarth]

It's pretty strange, actually. I completely stopped listening to Metallica when St. Anger was released. I'm only interested in them again because of the riffs and hype... then, I paid for that site and I'm more than impressed by what they're giving us on there.

I paid $130 for access to the site, a 320kbs digital copy midnight the release day, a physical copy of the cd, and a 5-lp limited box set edition of the new release

definitely

 

[Ambivalent]

I hope for Will's sake that this is Metallica's comeback album.

 

[Will Bozarth]

if not, I have a 5-lp limited box set on my way that is sure to get a pretty penny on ebay at some point. i'll include my Garage Days Re-Revisited LP to increase the value

Rick Rueben's been known for bringing back a band in a crappy place.

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

Trujillo is a great bassist. Great stage presence, great faces, great crab walking.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

i think its funny that people still care about this band.

 

[derek]

I gotta say I feel the same as Maxy pants. They can't make a record that filled the gap between Justice and Black because it's not 1989.

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

i think its funny that people still care about this band.

I think it's funny any one cared in the first place.

 

[derek]

Bah.

Imagine a world where you can only swap tapes, and there is no internet. Some insane band comes out of SF and you're desperate to hear them, but need to scrounge a tape from someone. Then BAM, any track from Ride or Puppets blows your mind. It was like a fever.

 

[Liverslapper]

I will always be a Metallica fan. It runs in my blood.

 

[Space Rabies]

Expectation set to low...



Then won't disappointed if it sucks.

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

When notified upon their return to the United States, the band was reportedly angered by their management's demands, and drummer Lars Ulrich rectified this issue by posting as many links as Metallica could find on their official website, along with an apology.

"While we occasionally enjoy reading the various comments, rumors, speculation, reviews, gossip and all the good that the internet brings, rarely do we feel the desire/need to respond to the "blogosphere" . . . hey, everyone is entitled to have their thoughts and opinions, right? However, once we re-surfaced on Tuesday after a few weeks on tour in Europe, we were informed that someone at Q Prime (our managers) had made the error of asking a few publications to take down reviews of the rough mixes from the new record that were posted on their sites. Our response was "WHY?!!! Why take down mostly positive reviews of the new material and prevent people from getting psyched about the next record. . . that makes no sense to us!" So after a few rounds of managerial ear spank and sentencing everyone at Q Prime to 20 push-ups each, we figured why not take matters into our own hands and just post the links here on our site. Kerrang, Metal Hammer, The Quietus.
You see, we have maintained an "in the press" section here on Metallica.com for many years now, posting links to reviews of shows, album and DVD releases, and various other tidbits we've come across while surfing around. Some good, some not so good, but we put 'em all up . . . sort of the same way we treat our message boards on this site . . . welcoming all feedback.

So in the spirit of keeping this section current, we've put as many of the reviews of the rough mixes of the new record up here as we could find. If we missed any, let us know . . . and in the meantime, we're always adding, so peruse at your leisure."

Lars...not being a jackass? *head asplodes*

 

[Will Bozarth]

Lars was never really a jackass when it comes to his music. He had Napster shut down for the GOOD of music. If you'd actually try to sell your music, you'd understand. "BUT HE ALREADY HAS SO MUCH MONEY!" Yeah, well... it's his business. It's what he does (besides his art thing).

 

[Chromatose]

no, not releasing St Anger would have been "for the good of music"

 

[Burti]

and really... St Anger is better than anything Megadeth ever put out.

Not that you need any internet respect, but damn.

Epic fucking fail man.
