Metal F*cking Iain!
Merkaba said:Yes they did have mainstream success with Justice but they really went in head first to cater to the mainstream with the black album. Justice being Newsteads first real metallica album, had the same hooks in it musically as RTL & MOP. ( I know his first was really garage days re-revisited, but it was all cover's, I was only counting originals by metallica)
It's a shame they didn't let Newsted write and actually buried, if not totally removed, his parts on ... AJFA. He gets over looked by a lot of people today who haven't heard Doomsday for the Deceiver.
Merkaba said:I however do agree that Newstead was 90%, if not more of the metallica live show. The black album killed them for me, I didn't like that album or anything they've done since! Thats why i said AJFA was their last DECENT album. Ride & Puppets are my fav from them!![]()
They were actually MTV's most played band of 1992.
