It was also the direction his influence was taking the band.... once that was gone, you could see how they were getting progressively worse, instead of progressively better.
Metallica is ass
- Thread starter TestamentNut
- Start date
Thrash-metal-metallica died when Cliff Burton died, it is that simple. It just took longer for the group itself to wither away. The inspiration that generated the awesome first three albums and to an extent even ...And Justice For All, was Burton.
Yah, Metallica just quickly became one of those sad nostalgia acts covering themselves so they didn't have to go and get real jobs again.
The radio may try to pump us up about "new Metallica" because their supervisor told them to play it, but we all know what we want to hear.

Apparently not. I think people will always talk about it because of the power of the first four albums, but yes it would be nice if we could move on..
I'm really fuckin bored man
when I was a teenager, I was discussin about that issue
after all those years, still I'm talkin about the same things, it sucks, u know..

Metallica did 4 masterpiece and fucked up a little bit the rest, some other bands like Opeth or In The Woods (Green Carnation) just do Masterpiece
Here now the decide to go further and just "Hi our fans, if we are here its cause of you but fuck....."
Cliff revolutionnate the world of bass at the time and even if he seems obsolete now, that guy was great, even if now you have men like Les Claypool, Digiorgio, Sean Malone, Myung.......
Anesthesia, Orion, Kall Of ktulu, thats how good was Cliff...
As i said, Metallica is dead, its Bob Rock with his Metallicash now

You think metallica has good song writing? ...
i see...
lets examine that shile we...
(hatfield stated in an interview that on the load album he chose to write some of his most deep personal lyrics/music)
ok... so i guess that makes a song about a 2X4 really deep, and a song about "aint my bitch", or how bout mama said, a really stupid complaining country tune?...
good song writing? i think not
and if you cant understand the depth and masturfull songwriting of Death's Human CD... then i fear for you...
read some lyrics... tell me there not better and more emotional then what metallica tried to get acrost on justice for all...
Do try to think before you speak u long time blind metallica fans... it just makes us all look dumb
hahaha! i take it this is directed to me. Songwriting to me=instrumentation. I don't give a fuck about lyrics. when i said songwriting i just meant the MUSIC part, not the lyrical part. And Load is a bad example... i am talking ...AJFA and earlier, i never even said anything about the newer metallica stuff.
OH and i might add, just for sheer knowledge for you, that i was once in love with metallica, then i found Dream Theater and alll sorts of melodic death bands and said "these guys wipe the floor with metallica" and for about a year went through a phase where i thought metallica SUCKED, But i snapped to and got the tr00 elitism out of my ass and i can remember how great Metallica once was... maybe not the most technical music ever (except james downpicking, i still think that is tremendous) but the melodic touch they had to them was unmatched, no thrash band out there STILL i think had a touch like that, even Testament.
Metallica's influence upon the world is proven by our continued involvement in this thread. If Metallica has not been an integral part of your musical life, then why the hell are you here?
Metallica are not the most technical, nor are they the tightest, the fastest, the heaviest...SO WHAT!!!
Bob Dylan sings like shit, but he still writes classic fucking music. The same is true of Janis Joplin and a host of others. Technically they may have their weaknesses, but people dig the music for one reason or another. Despite Metallica's lack of metal prowess, they still are the number one talked about heavy metal band - and they haven't done anything remarkable since 1989!!!! Now THAT is influence!

For the same reason a thread about naming a bass "cum shot" lasted on another forum - people are really bored!!!

can we all just agree to disagree and let this whole thing die off please?? Its not a secret that almost everyone loved old school Metallica....not as many people like the new stuff or the way that they have handled things in the recent past...ok....FINE....everyones opinions are valid and do have substance and I think everyone should/could/can respect that.
BUT WHY ON EARTH IS THIS TREAD STILL GOING ON ? ! ? !
FUCKING TESTAMENT RULES AND THAT'S THAT ! ! !
Please for the love of Cliff Burton let this die, as Metallica let the good music die off back on September 27, 1986.

i totaly agree, this and the inflames thread really needs to be shut down, why on earth we need to talk about now dead bands is beyond me...
inflames = Dead/sellouts, metallica = Long Dead/ sellouts
Testament == Very much alive and awaiting a new album
so please some admin close the metallica and inflame's thread and lets have none of this debotchery...

Why must we be so uptight about what we can talk about? Most of us are just here to waste time anyways. Relax.
