what the fuck has happened. i've played guitar for 8 years and i've grown up learning a lot of their earlier stuff, they are my favorite band and prolly will always be my favorite band. but what the fuck, these past years they've turned into complete assholes and their music really fucking sucks. its like their musical ability has regressed and they're starting from step 1, except producing fucking new-metal shit. if you people haven't heard "We Did It Again" with JA RULE, you should, because you'll get a really good laugh at how horrible it sounds. not only does their new music suck, but musically its really simple music - anyone could play it - where as their earlier albums sounded awesome and were rather complex? what has happened? what is the reasoning for this? money? head over to
www.metallica.com and check out the video on their main page, it gives a tiny clip of some of their new music and it as well, sounds stupid as shit. i think its ok to assume that they aren't making this new music because they LIKE it... perhaps they're just going with whatever sells the best at the current times.. and sadly enough this new-metal shit really doesn't have any depth at all and most of the bands have no talent. oh well, musical taste is obviously relative. just my opinion. damn, i'd love if they were to make a CD like their earlier ones... like master of puppets / black album. ideas as to why these bastards have changed so much??
