continuing with the decade-long trend of neverending disappointments, metallica does it again. figured this dvd would be pretty cool cause all the hype and award nominations behind it.

WRONG!!!


here's some highlights behind the video of a band that was once the greatest- starting with the ****ty stuff:

-james & lars *****, whine, moan, and cry over the most trivial **** due to their unfathomably oversized egos. oh man, especially james!

-they hire a full-time COUNSELOR to follow them around and help them cope with eachother's egos by getting in touch with eachother's feelings. SAP-PY!!

-they do a rap collaboration with ja rule. no, i'm not kidding.

-lars gets emotional over the selling of his million dollar 'artpieces', which are nothing more than paint spattered abstract bull****.

-boring teary-eyed scenes get very old when they're back to back. i started falling asleep.

-james quits drinking

-all this over the making of another weak-ass album.


here's the cool stuff

-kirk still kicks ass. still humble. still the best metal guitarist ever

-lars admits he ****ed up by attacking napster

-great mustaine interview

-jason still kicks ass and so does trujillo.




in the end, it may be worth renting.
probably not.

the some kind of monster dvd?

it woudl be alright if they wrapped it up into 30 minutes to an hour. it's 90 years long and boring as ****.

mark this down folks. history has just been made. me and cesaro have agreed upon a music related topic.

I wouldn't dare.

Do get the new Black Label Society album, kicks ass for certain.

i watched it when it came out. it was good **** to know, but too drawn out. the dave mustaine confession was nice.

one of the best parts is when james and lars are crying like a couple of millionaire babies in regards to something about how they thought feel their opinion is taking seriously, blahblah and kirk says, "well, now you know how i've felt for the past 15 years." they had to shut up.

I bought it and liked it. Although Lars and James did come off as whiney babies a lot of the time.

metalica sucks. I've never owned an album and i'm proud to say that.

metallica blows my fat ball sack

totally!!!!! that was the only part where i started crackin up!

the funny thing is that kirk and cliff made that ****in band. lars and james somehow get this authority due to seniority but if kirk wasn't around after cliff died, they would have been no better than megadeth- good, but not legendary.

kirk kicks severe amounts of ass.......if only he didn't talk like a ******.

i'm assuming that you're referring to the last decade.

post-black album

yup. post black era changed all the ratios. after black, good/weak songs ratioed out around 1/7. prior to black it was the exact opposite.

i will say i never owned a pre black album other than in justice for all. but that was a fluke and i never listened to it.

there best jam was one.

and i still have and always will hate metallica.

and i'm gladd i always have their actions now make all my ridicule when they were "the ****" worth it to show the nut riders i was right

que?

most people judge metallica by post-black album, but back then, fans were throwing a fit when the black album came out. that **** always happens. i actually saw someone crying "sellout" about aerosmith because they use one of his songs on a car commercial now. who gives a ****? the music is still the music regardless of where you hear it. hell, if you like it, be glad they arranged another way to bring their music into our homes. the ****s are pushing 60 years old and want another million dollars, you can't blame them for that.

back to metallica:

i don't like st. anger, but i enjoyed load, reload, garage and the symphony albums.

metallica gets bashed for a couple reasons, one is selling out, which will never make any sense to me. yea, true, they did change their style of music. it's not like it really catered to anyone different, you might hear 3 songs post-load frequently played on the radio. there's been more musicians than just metallica that wanted to change their music over a period of time. you hear them say it all the time. "i wanted to try something different". it started at black album and continues today. what if they didn't change their music to according to what they want? they'd still be selling out, to make you disgruntled fans happy. they'd be selling themselves short of the music that they wanted to make. so shut the **** up. the only person i will ever bash for doing that is ozzy, but that's a totally different story. he embarrassed himself and his family on internationally broadcasted television with staged problems, acting like an out-of-it fumbling idiot, and showing themselves as hypocrites.

another reason they bash metallica is for stealing mustaine's music. if you argue this point, DO go buy this some kind of monster DVD and watch mustaine speak his regrets about metallica. "if i could do it again, i''d change." enough said.

the other reason is the napster thing. yea, whatever, i still download 5+ CDs a week along with everyone else.

well i can understand metallica not wanting to play as heavy as they did. i'd imagine it can be tiring and boring. and i respect an artist's decision to change their style. creativity sparks all forms of art so you can't knock artists for trying something new.

BUT, most of the new **** is just ****ing weak. lars' beats used to be technical, kirk had some powerful & beautiful riffs/solos, cliff's bass brought the heaviest chords from the era, and james' voice could carry some great hardcore tunes.

now lars plays simple & boring ****, kirk's riffs are still good but not as good as they used to be, james sounds like a ****in *****, and in production they've turned the bass nearly OFF ever since cliff died.

so i don't care about them changing styles. i liked the S&M and Garage Days cds. but load, reload, and st. anger were an insult. they're playing at half their potential. most good bands will progress at twice their potential. and the dvd does a pretty good job in showing why they're ****'s so weak. it seems that they try soooooo hard to tap into this self-righteous creative energy that they're missing out on the roots of the music they once pioneered.
