you know, that title isn't bad. and the song in the background wasn't bad.

sounded a bit like And Justice for All...

As much as I hated "St. Anger" I know I'm already going to buy this album. Not because I thought that 20-second clip was awesome (sounded pretty good, by the way) or anything, but because I still have a thread of hope that whatever the "next thing" they release is will be METALLICA and not some excuse for going off on an experimental journey or trying some new direction or any of that stuff.

Oh, and if this song is on the next album, I pray that James has refined his "whoa"'s a little.

new album will be great

Metallica reveals upcoming album title, 10 remaining fans rejoice until Metallica sues them all for unlawful enjoyment of an unpublished work.

how many here will download instead of buying the new album?

Metallica are a bunch of dicks.

who?

Death Magnetic the worst album title they have ever had. It makes no sense and doesn't even flow the band name.

I'm pretty sure the album will go platinum no matter how bad it is, but nice try subby. Napster was eight years ago, let it go.

Death Magnetic. Hahahahahaha.

browntimmy: I'm pretty sure the album will go platinum no matter how bad it is, but nice try subby. Napster was eight years ago, let it go.

That Napster was years ago and that this album will sell are true.

I dislike hipsters that argue that if something is popular, it sucks. And then Metallica and Britney Spears have to go and prove them right.

radioberlin: Death Magnetic the worst album title they have ever had. It makes no sense and doesn't even flow the band name.

It could be alot worse , I just have trouble not wanting to leave off the " ic " Death Magnet to me sounds better and rolls off easier

They used the old Metallica logo in that clip. 1980's Metallica should sue them for that.

DanThe1Man: They used the old Metallica logo in that clip. 1980's Metallica should sue them for that.

But they were cool back then.

After all the crap they've pulled it would be kinda funny if this new album turned out to be kick ass. I kinda hope it does.

thegauntlet: how many here will download instead of buying the new album?

Me, just to piss them off.

/And for ruining everything with St. Anger
//Was there any Metallica album after the Black Album?

thegauntlet: how many here will download instead of buying the new album?

I'll download it. If I like it, I'll buy it.

thegauntlet: how many here will download instead of buying the new album?

I will be, without a doubt. In fact, I think that because they gave us the monstrosity that is St. Anger, Metallica should buy the new album for all of US instead of us buying it for their benefit.

SilentStrider: you know, that title isn't bad. and the song in the background wasn't bad.

The title is more than weird, but that song sounded pretty cool. Cool enough to get my hopes up.

Fleet: Oh, and if this song is on the next album, I pray that James has refined his "whoa"'s a little.

WTF! That sounded like old school Offspring sung by a drunk metal band singer

Welcome back, boys.

Fleet: Oh, and if this song is on the next album, I pray that James has refined his "whoa"'s a little.

Rob Trujillo has said that both new songs won't be on the next album, "at least in that form." Meaning they'll likely use bits and pieces of them and that's it.

Fleet: Oh, and if this song is on the next album, I pray that James has refined his "whoa"'s a little.

WTF was that shiat?

And yes, will download, and pass out free copies to anyone planning on paying money for it.

As long as they don't ruin another classic song as they did with Whiskey in the Jar I am willing to abstain from saying they suck ass.

Kali-Yuga: And yes, will download, and pass out free copies to anyone planning on paying money for it.

You weren't awarded any hero points last time you announced your brilliant, world-shattering and über-rebellious plan, and you won't get any this time around either. Why? Because your rabid hate for Metallica seems pretty compulsive, and you scare people.

Rarr rarr rarr! I hate Metallica. Rarr. Lars is a dick! Hurrrr.

Hetfield: You weren't awarded any hero points last time you announced your brilliant, world-shattering and über-rebellious plan, and you won't get any this time around either. Why? Because your rabid hate for Metallica seems pretty compulsive, and you scare people.

He asked, I answered, glad you came up for air long enough from sucking James' cock to post such a witty reply.

I'm sure many people that enjoy music written to appeal to the lowest common denominator, such as Nickelback fans, etc will enjoy their new album immensely. Even Rick Rubin can't polish a turd.

Timdesuyo: browntimmy: I'm pretty sure the album will go platinum no matter how bad it is, but nice try subby. Napster was eight years ago, let it go.

This.

Kali-Yuga: He asked, I answered, glad you came up for air long enough from sucking James' cock to post such a witty reply.

I see. Because anyone who isn't part of your paranoid and pathological crusade against Metallica must be in bed with them. Yeah, that's the ticket.

Dude, just stop and listen to yourself for a minute. I'm perfectly fine with people disliking certain bands, but you parade your psychotic hatred as though you were proud of it, which is both sad and scary. In a different thread, you wished for Kirk Hammett's death, you psychopath. Please stay away from people.

WaltzingMathilda: Rarr rarr rarr! I hate Metallica. Rarr. Lars is a dick! Hurrrr.

Lars is a dick. I constantly find myself embarrassed by his demeanor whenever I see him live or on TV.

As long as it is on Amazon.com for download, I will buy it.

It is amazing to me how many people are stuck on stupid when it comes to hating on Metallica or any other band for that matter. I swear, the vitriol that is spewed forth, you'd think that Metallica murdered the haters family, shiat on their dog, burned their house down and then stole their mail. What the hell. Get over it, you don't like em fine, move on...

Oh, I'll download it. I won't pay. And then I'll promptly delete it. It's all for my own amusement.

I think they're trying to be "deep" and "metaphorical" by implying death is an attractive prospect.

tfm_copycat: Fleet: Oh, and if this song is on the next album, I pray that James has refined his "whoa"'s a little.

WTF! That sounded like old school Offspring sung by a drunk metal band singer

hah, yeah it does sound like they had Smash on repeat while they were writing that one.

I dunno, what do you call it when a band rips off a band they themselves influenced?

That song sounds more Misfits influenced than Offspring.

"The band has been posting teaser images all week leading up to tonight's finally"

Finale????

Hetfield: WaltzingMathilda: Rarr rarr rarr! I hate Metallica. Rarr. Lars is a dick! Hurrrr.

Lars is a dick. I constantly find myself embarrassed by his demeanor whenever I see him live or on TV.

I know. But why do we expect more out of musicians? They're not supposed to be role models. They're farking rock stars. If they were all sweethearts, we wouldn't like them either.

browntimmy: I'm pretty sure the album will go platinum no matter how bad it is, but nice try subby. Napster was eight years ago, let it go.

But St. Anger was much more recent. There are more reasons than the Napster debacle to dislike Metallica.

Ace Frehley's Ghost: But St. Anger was much more recent. There are more reasons than the Napster debacle to dislike Metallica.

The band knows St. Anger was a mistake but so far it look like they've taken the right steps (other than the album title) to correct it.

They already let some critics listen to six of the songs. Most of them just played kiss-ass but there was one who admitted he didn't like post-black album Metallica and I believe he liked three of the songs.

Ace Frehley's Ghost: browntimmy: I'm pretty sure the album will go platinum no matter how bad it is, but nice try subby. Napster was eight years ago, let it go.

But St. Anger was much more recent. There are more reasons than the Napster debacle to dislike Metallica.

St. Anger still sold roughly 4-5 million copies.

I don't argue that it went platinum, I just state that it sucked.

Relax, they said the "woah" song didn't make it onto the album.

/still hopes new album is good

"The Unnamed Feeling" is a great song.

thegauntlet: how many here will download instead of buying the new album?

Even though I won't actually listen to it, I will DL it just to spite those a-holes.

But, then again, if I don't actually listen to it, it's not as though I physically possess it, and therefore they're not actually missing out on the $0.10 they'd get from the CD (had I purchased it).

I, therefore, would logically have to actually listen to the album to justify forcing them to add one less dime to their wealth. But, if it's as bad as pretty much anything they've done this decade, I could very well die from the incredible amount of suckitude involved.

Metallica is alive and well.. the title might not be the best ever, but from what I've heard so far, sounds like it just might be a really good album. I'm planning on buying the CD the first day it comes out.

thegauntlet: how many here will download instead of buying the new album?

Yep.

/Quietly optimistic.

I am not optimistic. At least Bob Rock is gone, so that's a measure of some progress, albeit small.

This reminds me of how I felt seeing the previews for Phantom Menance & the latest Indy. Soooo excited. Sooooo disapointed. Hope this does not go down the same road.
