Corey_Lazarus 0 Report post Posted June 15, 2008 The new Metallica album will be entitled 'Death Magnetic'. It's due out in September. I'm somewhat excited about it. I've checked out some of the Mission: Metallica shit they have on YouTube, and a couple of the demo snippets that play sound like pure Kill 'Em All-era shit. I'm looking forward to at least seeing if the songs are even, you know, decent rock as opposed to decent metal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, I've been following those clips as well and I've been pleasantly surprised with it thus far. And according to some reviews from a listening party, the songs on the album are structured much like those on Justice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Corey_Lazarus 0 Report post Posted August 10, 2008 New Metallica song "Cyanide" played last night at Ozzfest Listen the drum beat when it's by itself. Anthrax. "I'm the Man." That made me laugh. Eh, not bad. I like that they're using the palm muted down picking on an open string again (which, IIRC, has been lacking since right around Load), and the structure is interesting with a couple of good riffs. I can't wait to hear the album version, when it'll be a bit clearer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mfn 0 Report post Posted August 11, 2008 I'm going to go to the Metallica show just to see The Sword. It's going to suck seeing them in a big arena though, the last time they were in Columbus they played a small club and it was amazing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steviekick 0 Report post Posted August 11, 2008 The Sword were very good when I saw them play with In Flames/Seemless/Lacuna Coil. I don't know if they're going to translate well to a larger audience. I do think it's cool that they are on such a high profile tour. I do believe that Austrian Death Machine is a side project of one of the guys from As I Lay Dying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted August 13, 2008 Nov. 01 - Portland, OR @ Rose Quarter Hey, look at that. I haven't been to a ridiculously huge concert in a while, so I'm not sure if this would be worth my while, but I'd never seen Metallica in concert, so they, like Slayer, I feel obligated to see since I like some of their stuff. Tell me though guys, for anyone that's seen a Metallica show lately, do they play a lot of the 80's stuff (read: Black Album and before) or is it all mostly newer shit? If it's mostly newer stuff, fuck it I'll save my money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it's mostly newer stuff, fuck it I'll save my money. Mostly older stuff. I saw them in '03, and they played the two original singles off of St. Anger ("Frantic" and the title track) back-to-back, which got booed HEAVILY, and then stuck to Black Album and earlier. They even busted out "No Remorse," which I heard they rarely, if ever, have done in full since the Justice tours. Say what you will about their newer shit and how they obviously don't have what it takes to write material on par with their first 4 albums, but they know what their fans come to see.

Epic Reine 0 Report post Posted August 13, 2008 Yea, I saw Metallica back in '04 and they only played those two same songs from St. Anger (which also got booed heavily oddly enough) but what really surprised me is that they played "Dyer's Eve" which I didn't think they played live at all. I do remember being pretty upset that they didn't play "Fade To Black" but hey, I was only 17 at the time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Urban Warfare 0 Report post Posted August 13, 2008 Here is their most recent setlist from Ozzfest 01. Creeping Death 02. For Whom The Bell Tolls 03. Ride The Lightning 04. Harvester Of Sorrow 05. Welcome Home (Sanitarium) 06. Cyanide (new song) 07. ...And Justice For All 08. No Remorse 09. Fade To Black 10. Master Of Puppets 11. Damage Inc. 12. Nothing Else Matters 13. Sad But True 14. One 15. Enter Sandman - - - - - 16. (MERCYFUL FATE medley feat. King Diamond) 17. Seek And Destroy For this tour, (depending on the fan reception of the new album) I'd expect 3, maybe 4 new songs to go with a similar setlist as above. I know when they came to Calgary last time, they only played Frantic and St. Anger (even 'I Disappear) but for the most part, they've been playing the classics lately.

Corey_Lazarus 0 Report post Posted August 14, 2008 This year is kinda lame with the bigger tours. Summer Slaughter's US branch got railed since the best bands stuck to the Canadian or European dates, and there was basically 2 or 3 worthwhile bands compared to mountains of shit, and the worthwhile ones weren't even that great. Sounds of the Underground was cancelled due to a combination of rising gas prices and the negative reviews last year (primarily due to Necro's inclusion and subsequent departure halfway through the tour), which basically leaves Gwar with nothing to do until Rock & Shock and a short tour afterwards. Ozzfest was only a one-off in Texas. New England Metal & Hardcore Festival was pretty fucking shit this year (too much hardcore, not nearly enough metal, as has been the trend since '03 or so). So, really, the best tour this year is pretty much the Suicide Final Tour, which was one of the best concerts I've ever been to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DMann2003 0 Report post Posted August 15, 2008 If anyone's interested here's I'd say a 90% accurate version of the lyrics to 'Cyanide' Sleep and dream of this Death angel's kiss Brings final bliss Don't believe it! Empty, are they? Death, won't you let me stay? "Empty!" they say Death wants to call your name Ooh, call your name! Suicide! I've already died! It's just the funeral I've been waiting for Cyanide! Feeling dead inside Break this empty shell forevermore Wait, wait patiently Pure death, black wings Unfolding sleep Spreading on me! "Empty!" they say Death, won't you let me stay? "Empty!" they say Death, hear me call your name! Ooh, call your name! Suicide! I've already died! It's just the funeral I've been waiting for Cyanide! Feeling dead inside! Break this empty shell forevermore Say is that rain or are they tears? That stained your concrete face for years Crying, weeping, shedding strife Year after year Life after life And in the freshly broken ground A concrete angel laid right down A calm anew that swallows fast It's peace at last, Oh peace at last! "Empty!" they say Death, won't you let me stay? "Empty!" they say Death, hear me call your name! Ooh, call your name! Suicide! I've already died! It's just the funeral I've been waiting for Cyanide! Feeling dead inside! Break this empty shell forevermore Forevermore! Forevermore! It's the funeral I've been waiting for! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mfn 0 Report post Posted August 15, 2008 Lars is like the most pompous asshole in music IMO. His band really hasn't done anything spectacular in the last decade, yet he still feels the need to be. well... Lars. Really though, I'm going to go to the show, but only to see The Sword... If you haven't seen them live yet... go. It's a good show. Ps. Speaking of good shows... not to change bands/topics/whatever. The Hives. So good live.

Get rid of St. Anger. It's gone altogether. What are you left with? 3 great thrash metal albums, 1 very good thrash metal/borderline prog album, a solid hard rock/heavy metal album whose best songs were never released as singles, and 2 hard rock albums that were still better than most of what was passing as "quality" rock in the mainstream when released. You're absolutely right. I can't see why anybody would like a band whose best years are behind them, and actually look forward to new material, especially since every other band that could be classified as their peers have come back with new albums over the last 3 years that are positively reviewed (read: Slayer, Exodus, Anthrax, Iron Maiden).

Corey_Lazarus 0 Report post Posted August 17, 2008 Actually, that argument has merit. As a full-on complete album? Load isn't half bad. It's easily the best of the post-Black album stuff, which is like saying that 3 Dollar Bill Y'all$ is Limp Bizkit's best album: they're all sub-par, but it's the least sub-par of them.

skullman80 0 Report post Posted August 18, 2008 Load has "Bleeding Me" and "Outlaw Torn" which I will put up with any song on the first 4 albums. I like Load more than TBA honestly. Much bigger change from AJFA to TBA then from TBA to Load. They are never gonna write MOP again.. ever. People just need to realize that. St Anger was a steaming pile of shit, but they seem to be motivated again.. so I have tempered hope for the new album. Still my favorite band... still awesome live, and I honestly never cared about any of the napster shit or any of that. Lars may be a prick, but he's a rich prick who has been the driving force behind one of the most influential heavy metal bands of the last 25 years, at least on the business side. Without him.. Metallica isn't even around today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
