1). It's "Trujillo"
2). Unless somebody's been filling me totally full of crap, he didn't play on St. Anger, so how could he have had any input on how the record sounded?

i believe Bob Rock did most of the bass work, and as for Trujillo, metallica pick him, not the other way round. that means this was the style of bassist they were looking for, thus fitting in with the style of music they were looking for.

yeah i liked the old days more but i still respect metallcia for all they have done,, also im am going to see them may 12 at the qwest center in Omaha Nebraska and i am really looking forward to that.

Let me say one thing . . . Metallica was once a great band but now the TOTALLY SUCK!!!!!!!

one of the greatest dissapointments in rock history

I disagree with that statement because metallica doesnt suck! They play all of there old songs still just as well as they did when they started those songs if not better. Yes there music is not near as good as there old stuff except for the exeption of unforgiven II(that i think is the best song of there last three albums. Just because they arent putting out the music they used to doesnt mean that they suck, they have done more than almost everyband out these days. and i believe that they could put out stuff like there old stuff if they wanted to but as they said they felt they had no more room to grow in that direction wich is true i believe. After its all said and done i believe they are one of the best bands ever.

Including suing their fans, making horrible misfits covers and releasing the biggest load of sh*t, knowing their fans would buy it no matter what it sounds like.

Reading what you just wrote made me a little dumber.

I'm obsessed with all of Metallica's old albums. To bad I can't say the same about their new ones. Ever since Load came out, the Metallica hold on me reduced. Now the hold is almost gone when they released St. Anger. I'm not saying that they're bad, but they're releasing some crap now. I still like their old stuffs, buit just not their newer ones.

The old stuff is like an old dog that you have had for a long time. You just can't help but love the dog, no matter what. The new stuff is like a dog trying to replace your old dog. IT"S EVIL!!! jk

I am not a fan of the new crap, but eh if they are happy doing what they are doing more power to them....

Don't even get me started on Metallica$h, Inc. I was a fan since the freaking inception of the band... back when they were getting popular because people were passing around bootleg cassettes of the band. I think I still have one somewhere....I now still find it ironic about the whole Napster situation and Metallica, just because of the above statement...
Another irony.... Back when Metallicrap were worth a damn, they renounced music videos completely, and still attained platinum status on their music alone in a time when videos made or broke you. Now they are friggin MTV Icons?!?!!? Blasphemy I tell ya...
Also just to stir the pot, I can remember when you could get a decent ticket to a kick ass Metallica show for $20 bucks a seat... I haven't checked ticket prices lately, but I will wager to say they probably go for as much as Britney Spears' latest panty buying spree was.... Not f-ing cheap....
Before they got greedy they could make decent music. Now they thumb their noses at their fans and haven't put out a really good recording in years. Last good album was "...And Justice for All". Every freaking song on that album, along with all the albums before it, were hit songs... Every freaking one... Now you are lucky as hell to even get 2 good ones out of the whole CD...
Kirk was always a mediocre player in my book, but he is even worse now... He should give up and go surfing full time...As a matter of fact, maybe they should all call it a day and retire before they furthur embarrass themselves as hasbeens.

I'm out like Kirks sadass soloing...

Ok I just checked ticket prices in quite a few venues and they go for an average of $75.00 for decent seats. Guess they got to make up for the lost revenue for their dwindling fanbase...

metallica sucks

wow how much bickering can we make to get that one point across?

God Metallica pisses me off. I loved these freakin guys. I have all the old albums and revere them like parts of the heavy metal bible....but that all stopped in recent years. Kill'em All, Ride the Lightning, Master of Puppets....these are creations from the lord I swear. Now they are just regurgitating all of the old stuff, but in a horrible way. Yeah the crowds go crazy hearing "Fuel" and "Enter Sandman," but they don't even do those well anymore. St. Anger is the worst album I've heard in the past year. I actually returned it and was ashamed of myself that I even gave it a chance.

I was just thinking about how many people are coming on and saying the Metallica suck, but aren’t giving good reason, almost like they are just posting what they think other people want to hear.

Also people are saying that they are just doing the same thing over and again and we put them down for that, but if they try and do something different we all put them for this as well, these guys can’t win.

Saying all this makes me wonder what we would all think of say ‘Master of Puppets’ (widely recognised as their best album) if they released it instead of ‘St. Anger’, would we all go along with the trend that has come about in the last few years and say the same old thing about them not being as good as they used to be?

Is that because you didn't realize they did an atrocious Misfits cover in Garage Inc called Last Caress, didn't know they sued Napster (pretty much telling their fans to go f*ck themselves if they won't fork out the money to pay for their albums), or didn't comprehend that they've got fans who've followed them from the beginning and had their fingers crossed, praying for St Anger to be similar to the original Metallica and actually spent money on that piece of sh*t, so you felt so stupid, you decided to bang your head against a wall?

Or is it because you got so depressed that you decided to go on a drinking binge like the old Metallica used to?

Or is it that you are one of the Metallica fans who believe The Black Album was their debut? If that's the case, you can't get much dumber that you already are.

That's a far more complicated issue than I think you can begin to comprehend.


Careful what you choose to argue about here, because chances are, somebody argues it better than you do.

No doubt.
