METALLICA Post-Black Album Poll

first

i'm literally listening to "the outlaw torn" right now

not fair to put s&m on this tho homie

why not? for a lotta people it fucked up old school metallica songs, which is a far greater crime than writing shitty new songs but leaving the old masterworks alone. revisionism suxxx

shit which one had the memory remains on it? was king nothing on load?

memory remains is reload

lol @ ppl who think "it fucked up old school metallica songs"

like is this a bit yr doing or do you really like this shit and not like the old awesome shit?

what

i genuinely love a lot of metallica and when i was younger i literally thought metallica and staind were the only two bands worth being really really into

lol @ ppl who think "it fucked up old school metallica songs"

― markers

this was just saying that i like the versions of a lot of their famous songs that on s&m. i also like the originals of a lot of their famous songs

that are on

relevant poll of singles from the same era: Best post-shitness (mid-shitness?) Metallica track

answer to that poll is outlaw torn

i don't even know what that is. what album was it on?

I vote Death Magnetic and I don't even really like it that much, but it's not bad, and it's listenable. Garage Inc.'s not bad either -- but I'm not including the Garage Days EPs because they already existed. The Mercyful Fate medley almost put them over the top but some of their other covers were, ehh, not so inspired.

Outlaw Torn = Load. and it's zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I do actually like S&M tho Jaymz's vocals are so auto-tune pitch corrected they're annoying to listen to. I kinda agree w/ markers though about it not being fair to include, so I didn't vote for it

lol @ metallica's wiki saying S&M is 16 times platinum with some fuzzy math (5 mil of a double album plus 6 mil DVD sales)

I mean the audio on the dvd is the same as on the cd but yea that's still RONG

i just thought it was funny that some 'ca cuz felt the need to trump up some already impressive numbers so that it somehow looks like some random novelty live record outsold the fuckin' black album

some dude, would genuinely be interested in hearing your opinion of "the outlaw torn" (closing track on load)

you'll have to click the watch on youtube link

weird hetfield harmonies on this tune

jesus this is still going. some kind of cool bluesy guitar tones on this solo, i guess.

lol

well i'm glad you at least gave it a try

ten minutes!

yeah that song is not really fucking with "it ain't my bitch" or "hero of the day"

smh

sorry man this is like someone trying to convince me i should rank 2002 ll cool j over 1990 ll cool j and it's just not gonna happen

"but i respect your right to your opinion"

like right now i am listening to battery and still feel like i'm being punched in the face after all these years, whereas that song up there sounds like kirk taking a really painful guitar-shit over something too lumbering to boogie but not lumbering enough to be sludge

i basically love hard rock and hate metal so i totally have markers's back, would totally rather listen to black album and select post-black album singles over '80s metallica

btw as i said above i love stuff like master of puppets, and justice for all, and ride the lightening too

that's cool but i say fuck 'em

i love hard rock too! but that song still sounds like a big dump.

yeah not defending that one at all -- but i mean i'm as sick of "fade to black" as any '90s metallica song

and hetfield just had no vocal presence at all before bob rock taught him to sing like a pirate

haha

i will cherish his ad libs on the s&m version of "for whom the bell tolls" for all time

what a bunch of crap. death magnetic might be the best of these and it's unlistenable? garage maybe. I dunno I hate all of these.

how does it feel to be alive

"for whooooooom the bellllll toooollllls...YOU BETCHA"

hahahaha

god lars is so feeble

OOH, time marches on! I want it! absolutely!

a friend reminded me of that s&m performance last year and noted that nothing better exemplifies the shift from '80s to '90s metallica like trading "YEAH, MOTHERFUCKERS" for "YOU BETCHA"

at some point in the late '90s james hetfield briefly turned into biff from back to the future

i wish youtube had my other favorite late metallica moment, from the behind the music:

jason newsted: "yeah? well, we did sell out. *claps hands together* we sold out every show, every night."

yeah that's timeless

haha boom

trujillo could never possibly crabwalk enough to make up for the comedy value lost by the departure of newstead

think abt it

xposts

god they are all so hateable

except for poor, sensitive kirk

kirk is a fragile flower

don't . . . waste your hate . . . on them

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

I am very intrugued by Trujillo; he seems to come from a completely different universe than the others

i will cherish his ad libs on the s&m version of "for whom the bell tolls" for all time

otm, this was impossibly hilarious to me back in HS

Death Magnetic isn't bad at all; I mean play it next to the old shit it sounds forced of course, but next to the Loads or St. Anger it sounds fucking rocking. There are some genuinely exciting thrash-out instrumental passages IMO.

fuck it all and fuckin no regrets

Death Magnetic by a fucking mile, even including the Black Album.

as someone who took some perverse enjoyment in how fucked up the St. Anger singles sounded, i thought he Death Magnetic singles were completely irredeemable even on a comedy level

love is a 4 letter word

splatter color on this graaaaaaayyyyyyyyy

is it weird that i might vote for st. anger?

not at all!

i revisited it because this year's morbid angel record had me thinking of other metal fiascos.

it contains lars' best drum performance (a relative thing, yeah) and is purely interesting to me because it sounds like the exact product of three people who should not be making a record together.

also the protools copying-and-pasting gets me thinking of teo macero even though that is clearly not the result

u flush it out

i voted for st anger - the clanging anvil drum sound and lyrics like 'my lifestyle determines my deathstyle' cant be beat

YES

the shot of lars at 1:48 lmao

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

close!

can't believe 7 people voted for St. Anger ~~~AND~~~ i was the ONLY PERSON to vote for S&M ????

awesome, my last minute decision to vote broke the tie

James would be the most fun to hang out with I think

Lars would be such a fucking drag probably

Trujillo's a nice guy I reckon.

i got to interview lars once and you know what? his whole thing is actually kinda charming when he focuses it on you. was over the phone but honestly he seemed like he'd be fun hang with.

awesome

it contains lars' best drum performance

Er... Have you not heard Ride the Lightning?

u flush it out

load and reload total classics

i have this vivid memory of buying S&M at wal-mart in 7th grade

Er... Have you not heard Ride the Lightning ...and justice for all?

me and my HS buddies also quoted YOU BETCHA constantly
