METALLICA frontman James Hetfield had the following to say regarding the upcoming tour and album:

"Touring in the US in the summer is always on top of our list of things we would like to do and we are hitting all the big cities. Being able to play this stuff live is going to be so amazing! My mind set is to go out there and show the world how strong METALLICA is."

"For us, this new album is like re-visiting early innocent feelings but incorporating our experience. It is like starting over in a way.... this album is so chalk full of energy, and lyrically, it is deeper than it's ever been because it is involving all the other guys."

wow , limp bizkit, linkin park, deftones, mudvayne, and METALLICA. that sounds wrong. so the new 'tallica album is called St. Anger, eh? wow. exciting. all saps.

i'm thinking i probably won't go. it'll be too expensive and the other bands eat cock. actually, theres no chance of me agoing actually. i'd like to see metallica fo rtheir old shit is great, but FIVE shitty opening bands! and they're all very popular, so the tix are going to me MIND BOGGLING expensive. fuck all that stuff. fagots.....:rolleyes:
 
i wouldn't mind seeing deftones, mudvayne, or metallica if they were on the bill with at least ONE band i was more than moderately interested in.

but in this case I don't care at all.
 
i will NOT be going.

Knowing that part of what I paid will be going to help limp biscuit, deaftones and lincoln park makes me sick.
 
Deftones kaka. Metallica started me off, I'll admit it. But believe me, if Lars Ulrich ever comes within 10 miles of me, I'll tear the skin off his face and mop my bathroom floor with it.
 
I think that this new metallica is going to have some nu metal influences, I would not be surprised, these guys have gotten restless the last five years and are not coming out the gate sounding like Ride the Lightning, people, oh no, I think live they will still do a fair amt of the classic stuff but don't be surprised if there's some surprises.
not what people want to hear, but...
 
THIS TOUR WILL COST LIKE $80 FUKKIN DOLLARS FOR SHIT SEATS!!!

I'd rather die than see this show, honestly. If Fred Durst put a gun to my head and said "Yo foo, see this show 'for I bust a cap, dollar bill Y'all!!" I'd say "shoot me you no talent fuck, because supporting your band and music is a fate worth than death"


(This is QuothTheRaven btw)
 
Because dumb people make us laugh, i guess...dunno.
Ah well, it always cuts both ways.
:lol: damn pic, Lizard!
