The reviews are back up, Metallica's management company were the overzealous douchebags, not the band members.

Metallica can't do any wrong as far as I'm concerned. They are the best metal band of all-time, end of story.

Wow.

You should know it's quite possible that Tom Araya has now commanded the demons of hell to come through your monitor and rip your soul right out through your face :shocked:

Sorry, I got confused. But my point remains that the Black album is the shit.

Black can't hold a candle to the three before it. I'll take AJFA (nevermind the f'd mixing) any day.

What's wrong with the mixing in AJFA?

They f'd up the bass, under-toning the guitar, but then emphasizing the kick drum. It's f'ing obvious to anybody that it's a poorly mixed album.

From an old interview about AJFA:

How does Justice differ from Puppets?

?It?s a lot? ? begins Ulrich.

?Drier,? continues Hetfield.

?A lot drier, and a lot more?

?In your face,? Hetfield pipes in again. ?Everything?s way up front and there?s not a lot of ?verb or echo. We really went out of our way to make sure that what we put on the tape was that we wanted, so the mixing procedure would be as easy as possible and not like the old saying, ?We?ll save it in the mix.??

?Puppets was very well recorded,? says Ulrich, ?and had a very huge sort of sound, but didn?t really fuckin? come out of the speakers and hit you in the face.?

?Compared to Ride the Lightning it did,? Hetfield reminds him.

?I don?t want to listen to Ride the Lightning,? groans Ulrich.

?Flemming was in a reverb daze,? explains Hetfield.

Did the experience of recording The $5.98 EP affect Justice?s sound?

?I think we were pretty pleased with the way it was so upfront and raw,? reckons Hetfield.

?We learned something from that mix,? says Ulrich.

?We learned that the bass is too loud,? says Hetfield.

?And when is the bass too loud?? chants Ulrich.

Together: ?When you can hear it!?

Disturbed, System of a Down, Slipknot, Deftones, Godsmack, KoRn, Rob Zombie

Oh and before you play the "playing the guitar really fast means its good music" card...

Dragonforce.

Disturbed, no.
System of a down. You are fucking kidding me right? That whiny Serb can DIAF.
Slipknot, two drummers later, and they still suck.
Deftones, no.
Godsmack, that 5 ft nothing piece of shit singing about how tough and angry he is, laughable. However, I do like their tone, and their live stuff is pretty damn good.

Korn...they suck live.
Rob Zombie, I never understood the Zombie fetish, at the very most he had some 'catchy' tunes. And his movies suck.

Conclusion: I agree. Give me Megadeth any day.

I've been a lifelong fan of Metallica and am one of the few people that actually liked St. Anger. That said, United Abominations and the System Has Failed crushes anything that Metallica's put out since ...And Justice for All.

Yeah, I think he was kidding. You can barely even call any of those bands metal.

You do realize that Tom Araya is actually a Catholic and only writes/sings the Slayer material because it sells, right?

I loved Metallica up and through the Black album but my interest faded by then in Metallica.

I've also listedn to Slayer, and yes Tom Araya is Catholic, and he refuses to write lyrics for Slayer because of his faith. He will sing (er shout) others material though. Thats why most of the lyrics in Slayer are written by King and Hanneman. (One is Athiest/sort of Satanic in nature in his lyrics while the other is more military freak)... Which explains why Slayer has alot of military/funky death lyrics.

But to say Slayer is better than Metallica is laughable. Slayer has taken a downturn in their quality since Seasons in the Abyss, about the same time Metallica took their nosedive... With the last few releases of Slayer, I think I'd rather say that I'd rather listen to late Metallica. Slayer just sounds like horseshit these days. "God Hates us all" and "Christ Illusion" and even to a lesser degree "Diablous in Musica" seem to lack any music creativity. Just the "lets make these 3 chords go very quick over and over while Tom shouts into the microphone."

Their old stuff is pretty good tho:

Who seriously listens to bands because they do philanthropic or other wierd hippy shit? No one. I could careless if ROBOTS made music, as long as it was good. I don't care what the band looks like, or any of that.

Well that's convenient. So the Catholic religion only prohibits you from writing the songs, but not from actually singing them to millions of people and profiting from the defamation of God and Jesus and all that other crap.

Sounds like one hell of a religion.

Metallica was good up to and including Master of Puppets, everything after that was crap. Once Cliff died, Metallica died.

It really has nothing to do with Catholicism, but his beliefs. Tom is not going to write anti god/satanic lyrics. I'm sure most in the Catholic religion will realize that is just an excuse. But look at their side. As things are, and as he and his bandmates have said in interviews, if they let Tom write "pro god" or christian music, they would be broke, as God doesn't sell. They are musicians who try to make a living in a cutthroat industry. You have to do what it takes. Even if you personally disagree with it. Tom wrote a song on South of Heaven that was prolife.

Yeah I understand that. I really had no thoughts that any of those bands actually thought they were satanists. They (and pretty much anyone) are going to go where the money is, and so would I.

Still doesn't change my view that Metallica and Slayer are not even near the same genre of music. Speed metal |= hard rock (did I do that right?). That's like saying there is no difference between Hank Williams Jr and Gene Autry.

I hate hearing the personal views, activities, relationship woes, etc of Celebrities. All's fine and dandy when you agree with them, but as soon as they say/do something objectionable, someone will start a Hate campaign as if it had any meaning. Enjoy the Art, listen to the opinions or watch their personal lives at your own peril.

Both were thrash, but both are pretty crappy now. I don't even know what Metallica would be called any more, just heavy metal? Hard rock? Who cares, though.
