OT: Metallica – some kind of douchebags

Question:

– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Alanis would be a terrible girlfriend I think.  Even though she’s happy, I bet she’s the most clingy, needy girl in the world.  If this guy ever gets out of step – watch out!!! I don’t know. I haven’t seen a whole lot of interviews with her. She seems more like a granola girl to me (hippie chick). I wouldn’t say she’s angry by nature. Are you talking about they actor she’s engaged to? He’s been pretty funny in the movies I’ve seen him in ("Dick" w/Kirsten Dunst). As for her doing her old stuff – I bet she can pull it off just remembering her original anger… I was once dumped by this girl, and five years later when I ran into her – it was like a freakin’ time bomb exploded :) Women don’t forget. That’s for sure. Especially the hurts caused them by their earliest girlfriends. They carry those scars forever. But we guys do to. Personally, I haven’t really gotten into her new album yet.  And it’s the SHORTEST new album I’ve seen in years – just clocking in under 40 minutes!!! I’d rather have a good, short album than a long, boring one. I hate this having 17 songs on one CD. I usually don’t won’t to hear that many songs in a row from a band I love much less the filler that’s on most of these CD’s.

I’ve seen a few interviews lately with her – she made the rounds with the new album – The Ryan Seacrest Show, some morning thing, and something on VH1. You know, it’s funny – you’re the second person that’s made that comment about ‘quality over quantity’ to me. The first time was when I bitched about Van Halen albums being so short… However – her album ain’t cracklin’ with great material – at least not what I’ve heard the last five listens. Same with the Avril Levigne CD – just one long boring song structure…

– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Man, this has been a problem for so many bands, long before you even got hooked on their first albums. It is a natural progression if you really think about it. Some bands will earn your loyalty through evolution (U2 comes to mind) and others will just fade away. You’re in a bad rut if you play "angry" music anyway. Because hopefully you will grow (as a person) and get over the angry and then that music will no longer be relevant to you. I’ve said before "angry young man" is OK, "angry old man" is pathetic. U2 always had a "hope" element to their music so they could mature into that. Not so with 100% angry bands.

Just look at Alanis Morissette. She sounds ridiculous playing songs from her Jagged Litle Pill album nowadays. She just isn’t as mad anymore. Money will do that to you. "Ask your accountant if more money is good for you."

I thought the unplugged version of "You Oughta Now" was good and appropriate. I liked the second album too. I don’t think money had anything to do with her happiness though.

There has seldom been a bigger bunch of pansies.

        Perhaps. I certainly wouldn’t say that to James in person. He’d probably make me eat my guitar. Lars is definitely a whinemaster, though. It’s no wonder Jason bailed. have no clue about music or what kids are into.

        I was AMAZED when St. Anger came out, and the lo-fi thing was because "people are into the garage type thing" was Lars’ rationale ?         WTF ? Since WHEN are they followers ? How about blazing some new trails ? I remember laughing with a bud the first time we heard "For Whom The Bell Tolls" because it played out in detail a bunch of metal cliche licks we never had the stones to assemble the way they did. As a result, they put together a good tune, good album, etc.         In a time filled with sucky music, why not just scrape themselves up, do something FRESH and interesting, DON’T deny the roots where it came from, and HAVE FUN.         Sheeeeeminy. It ain’t rocket science.

Yeah well there’s angry and there’s angry, Nirvana were angry but listenable. Bob Dylan was also angry.There’s nothing more non musical than thumbing double coil pickups and death metal. spew, vomit, chunder, regurgitate. it’s not even angry it’s just shit. even their version of Dalton Trumbo’s book ‘Johnny Got His Gun’ is shit (‘One’ I think it’s called) metal. well at least it’s not as bad as early Rush. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text –

metallica has now been more than 20 years with people telling them they’re the best thing since slice bread (quote from Lemmi from motorhead).. it went to their head and they act likewise.. of course, they’re now middle aged and they are in each other’s face all the time.. so, they’are acting like a bunch of laboratory rats stuck i a cage.. (hiring a coach to get along..now..that’s hilarious!!!)

put em all on jerry springer and let em biff it out for themselves. legends in their own lunchtime, imagine calling your band metallica anyway. dumb name for a dumb band. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – georgio

I personally have never seen a braver band in my entire life.  There’s parts of that documentary that I couldn’t believe they would allow to be shown.  Whether you like their music or not I cannot believe that anyone would not be impressed by the fact that they were so brutually honest. Chris Watch Oprah. You’ll see that kind of bravery every single day. Pathetic bitches whining about their paltry, petty problems. Queso

Exactly. To them, these problems are not petty and they are showing you how brave they are to "go through it all". (Yaaawn…)

Although FUGAZI get away with it brillianatly and p*** all over Metalica as a guitar band! Pete For free happy music go here: http://www.soundclick.com/pro/default.cfm?BandID=120684&content=music

Response:

They have sucked for years and, except for in my geeky-youth perspective, they probably have always sucked – but what a bunch of serious pussies. Queso I never got into them. They seemed like a half-assed version of Priest or Sabbath with loads more anger but much less aesthetic.

Almost everything good by metalica was written by someone else.  If you want to hear good metal, find copies of the bands they covered.  These bands have all but dissapeared in the history books and Metalica seems to get all the credit for their works.  Bands like Budgie, Diamond Head and Blitzkrieg actually wrote /good/ music and Metalica butchered most of it.

Committed that one to memory. Thanks.

– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – There has seldom been a bigger bunch of pansies. What a bunch of whiny, piss-blooded bitches. They have a new documentary/desperate cry for publicity where they show their group therapy and how they hired `performance-enhancement coach’ Phil Towle for $40,000 a month, so they wouldn’t seem like such a group of out-of-touch, soft-bellied, cunts who have no clue about music or what kids are into.   It’s funny – back in 1986 or 87 when their bus crashed and their old bass player died – I was bummed out. Now I wish they had been in a plane. They’re on Deborah Norville now, circle-jerking – trying hard to seem relevant or interesting, but failing miserably. Next they’ll be on Oprah, crying about their childhoods and hugging Dr. Phil. Then they’re off to a Queer Eye makeover in hopes of a broader demographic.   I shouldn’t be shocked. I only even ever liked the first 2 albums. They have sucked for years and, except for in my geeky-youth perspective, they probably have always sucked – but what a bunch of serious pussies. Queso

There is so much music and it has NEVER EVER been easier and cheaper to produce, distribute and find more and more NEW MUSIC! Enjoy the times we all live in and look for stuff that turns you on, not off.

Yeah, after I told my friend about Robert joining the band he said "Fuck, there goes another good bassist." Daremo Well, at least the original 3, Robert Trujillo is pretty cool.                                Geo.

earlier this year.  it was funny.

Strangely enough, my disillusionment with Metallica parallels my disappointment with Star Wars. Maybe I’m finally growing up (as well as growing old)? Can’t let the wife read this…

Response:

I  always thought Metallicunt sucked. I have never been able to understand what the masses see in this noise.   It just so happens I ran across this Docu-whine a few minutes ago (or at least a promo piece, I didn’t watch but a few minutes out of morbid curiosity). Right in the part where they were in the "group therapy" session. Awwwwhahahahahahahahahahaahahahaahahaahahahaahahaahahahahaahahahahaahahahah a haah hahhaahahhahaahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.   Yep just as one poster described, one quivering lip away from Oprah. At least we won’t hear them cry about how bad it is at the top being so rich and talented…they have no talent.   Oh well, maybe I’m just jealous because they are rich rock stars and I am sitting here in my bedroom talking shit about them. But I still hate their "music" and think they are pansy ass pole smokers. Well, at least the original 3, Robert Trujillo is pretty cool.                                Geo.

Don’t sugarcoat it, man.  What do you really think?

A friend of mine put it short and sweet — "Metallica got rich and started doing rich drugs like Ecstasy and fucking each other in the ass…" Daremo

I haven’t seen the documentary yet, but I hear where you are comin from. I actually liked the Load albums, I liked the fact they were willing to try a new direction. St Anger sucks so bad, I have a hard time listening to any of their stuff now. And I hate the fact they are wearing those winter cotton ski caps, like they are in some 16 year old’s garabe band. Strangely enough, my disillusionment with Metallica parallels my disappointment with Star Wars. Maybe I’m finally growing up (as well as growing old)? Can’t let the wife read this… GF
