Metallica! Wash your mouth out lad! lol. Nah they were brill before they totally lost the plot, after Re-Load it all went down hill fast and even that wasn't that much cop. They have plenty of old classics though that will rattle the bones from your body and have cause more than a few neck injuries in this old bod.
Bands I feel are over-rated are too many to bother with, although I really don't get all the hype over Dragonforce ... and no it's just my own personal preference and I'm so not looking for a fight here
I saw them a few years ago supporting WASP, just before the teeny bopper brigade got into them and thought ... mmm, they play fast and they run around very very fast on stage. Their shows look very erm ... busy. Then I saw them again playing with Adam Bomb *shudder* and thought ... does every single song really have to go 100 miles an hour and do they really all have to sound the same? Is it really necessary to run about that much throughout the whole of the show? Sorry but that was the very last time we went to see em and haven't been inclined to give them a third attempt. In fact that's why we missed out on the Edguy tour because we couldn't stomach watching Dragonforce headlining over them.
Funny thing is I know they are really really popular with the teeny bopper metallers and a lot of my 'younger' friends really dig them, so I guess they must have something going for them.
Horses for courses and all that, each to their own, it would be very boring if we all liked the same stuff wouldn't it and damn near impossible to get a limited edition cd if everyone else wanted it too
I prefer to hear the melody and the actual compostions of the songs. I like to be able to hear what the words actually say and not have to resort to the insert in the cd to try and work out what on earth they are going on about.
Yup, I guess I'm getting old
