Most anticipated - 2008

No matter whether you like it or not, they're one of the (if not the) most influential Metal bands ever. Master Of Puppets might just be the best Metal album ever (in my opinion it is).

I just hope on their next album they arn't in drop C tuning doing that one finger power chord stuff and get the fucking drums to sound normal...I just wander what went through their minds on st. Anger when they made it that way...but I do look foward to hearing what direction they choose to go in...regardless they deserve repect for those early records.

Nothing wrong with drop c.

Nothing wrong with drop c.

yeah it's cool....I just didn't like it for metallica, but drop tunings are awsome. They just wrote better riffs in standard or even a half step down.

drop tunings and 80's thrash bands usually means they wind up sounding like a very interesting mix of pantera and soulfly. but as bluesky said, nothing wrong with it if the band knows what they're doing

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metallica's_ninth_studio_album

The band has been reported to have returned to performing in E tuning, as they did on their first five studio albums, to compliment James Hetfield's vocals. The band had previously played in E flat since the recording of Load and dropped C on St. Anger.

I can at least say I'm kinda excited heh.

 

[stefan86]

I'm mostly excited about how funny its gonna sound. SHOOT ME AGAIN! SHOOT ME AGAIN---AH! YEAUW

 

[LifeDepraved]

I'm anxious for the new Black Waves demo, number 2. It's gonna be a killer!

 

[BlueSky]

I'm kinda eager to hear the new ayreon.

Did you hear the two new songs on youtube?There's nothing good in them except for Kirk's solo leads.Especially when I heard the part wohohoooohoo cowboy vocals in the second song I for the first time accepted that Metallica is over.There's nothing Rick Rubin can do,besides I don't see him as an extra talented producer.He achieved to make Linkin Park even worse,he turned them into a complete gay band.I also think that System of A Down was better before him.Whatever even if he was that talented,a producer can do nothing if the band has lost the ability to write good stuff.

Yes, the cowboy vocals made me actually cry they were so bad....what the Fuck happened to this once great band, JESUS! And I agree that Rick Rubin cannot make a shitty riff good, it will have a good production but the music will blow donkies.

I'm kinda eager to hear the new ayreon.

yeah! Jonas and Daniel!!

 

[the mourner13]

+Tom Englund+Jorn Lande+Hansi+Anneke...It will rock fo sho!!!

 

[stefan86]

the Ayreon record could be insane if it's done right. Hopefully the cheese factor isn't as high as it usually is

Exactly!

 

[Lisra]

just get some crackers for the cheese...

 

[shadowNINE]

Somehow, I forgot Augury, Bethlehem, Nightbringer, and Opeth before. (Added them to the list.)

Also, I'll be interested to hear the new Ayreon as well.

 

[Katatonic1]

I'm really looking forward to ISOLE releasing their album "BLISS OF SOLITUDE"...Holy shit it's sounds very DOOM and these songs are fucking awsome! everyone should listen to "by blood" on their myspace...thats song fucking owns!

I was just playing some solos and riffs from Master of Puppets...it definitely influenced countless numbers of metal bands, and when you listen to the album even today it was clearly ahead of its time (in terms of the harmonies, song structures, time signatures, and the excellent guitar solos). I would certainly place it amongst the best metal albums (and best albums PERIOD regardless of genre) ever released.

 

[season1234]

Agreed But experiencing Carcass and At the Gates live might be cool

That would be fucking killer. I go to see At the Gates, Dissection, and Morbid Angle in Corona in 1996 whihc was incredible and would love to see ATG w/ Carcass (who I never had a chance to see).
