Metallica-what do you think about it?

To answer the original question, no, and no. I used to like Metallica a lot, but my musical tastes have matured since then.
Now I primarily listen to Iced Earth, Nevermore, Testament, Megadeth, Symphony X, Tourniquet, Deliverance, and Flotsam & Jetsam. I'm going to try some Blind Guardian stuff next.

Every board has it's "Metallisheep", just ignore them. They'll get over their obsession eventually.

I´m sorry loner92 that you don´t have an idol,someone to have as your favourite artist.You listen all kinds of different bands,so do i,but it looks like you haven´t found the one..
For a long time now,i have kept Kirk Hammett as my favourite guitarist and i think that nowbody has the right to tell me what to listen.I also like Led Zeppelin,Deep Purple,Jimi Hendrix and Yngwie Malmsteen a lot but i just see something different in Metallica.
If your Metallica obsession went over,don´t expect that from the other fans.

"MY GUITARS ARE LIKE UMBILLICAL CORDS,DIRECTLY WIRED INTO MY HEAD" Kirk Hammett

NO. I will never stop liking Metallica.

Metallica will always be my favorite.





Unless they start sucking, that is. And just because I said that doesn't mean that people who don't like Metallica can say that they already sucked. Because I know someone will.





jeez

With the whole controversy over Napster, a lot of people have felt the need to boycott Metallica, well then thats their loss.

Of course I have mixed feelings as to what wen't down, and how the whole situation could have been solved on more rational terms, but a lot of people refuse to look at the whole situation through their view. They felt the need to stick to their beliefs for something that they felt was wrong (something that actually was wrong.) They worked hard to get in the position they are in today, and everyone should realize that for every hard working musician, there are no free bees, and to fully underatsnd what its like to be in metallica's shoes, you have to be willing to live their overall experience, including the tiresome nights on the road. This matter wasn't entirely bout money, it was more about the principle..

As for their music, I like what they have done with Load, and Reload, these are two very excellent records, and they are definitely worth taking along on those long car rides. But still, I prefer their earlier stuff, I really love their compositional rock songs, but you can;t expect the past to repeat itself, and yoiu can;t expect these hguys to travel down the same road forever. You have to really keep a level head, and an open mind to appreciate Metallica. I don't necessarily agree with all of the changes they have made 100 percent, but I have accepted them, and I still enjoy the music that they are making. I'm interested in hearing what their next release with be like...


I owe a lot to these guys, especially for increasing my enthusiasm when I first started on guitar, many moons ago...

MEH...

I think that their next album will be much heavier than the last 2. It'll probably sound like their newer songs, like "-Human" or "I Dissapear". And I think those songs are pretty damn good.

I think Kirk Hammett is god is right.

Yeah,

Me TOO!!
