/was very thrilled as a 10 year old to hear a song that had the word "shiat" in it on the radio

We still don't know if Metallica's "thrashing" is any good yet.
For all we know, it could be Bob Rock legacy.

"Minutes to Midnight" (and the next album from Linkin Park he'll be ruining) is a complete and tragic waste.

Grrr:"Minutes to Midnight" (and the next album from Linkin Park he'll be ruining) is a complete and tragic waste.

Think for a moment why that album sucked.

I'll tell you how I became the Prince of Bel Air!

The band's manager, Carl Stubner, said the forthcoming album would recall the one-chord blues of ZZ Top's 1973 hit La Grange, rather than the glossy hard-rock the band is now known for.

Well, their more recent releases have already moved in that direction. Since I like ZZ Top, I hope that this is a good move for them.

Bonkthat_Again:We still don't know if Metallica's "thrashing" is any good yet.

Well, I took a leap of faith, I admit, with that choice...but I couldn't figure out a way to tie in Neil Diamond or the beat for 99 Problems, so Metallica seemed like a good choice.

And, yeah, as far as Linkin Park goes; I don't now how people blame Rick for that album sucking. IT'S LINKIN FRIGGIN PARK!!!! As sombody said earlier ya can't polish a turd.

You know, he did a lot of stuff before that. Like starting Def Jam, putting out RUN-DMC, the beastie boys. etc etc. he's a hero.

Sounds like they're going take the early classics like Pearl Necklace as use it as the foundation, but also give them a little bit of a modern edge. I'm anticipating songs about a Cleveland Steamer or a Rusty Trombone.

Is he going to magically make them not suck? It would've been better for all of us if they all died with Cliff. At least then they'd have remained Metal icons instead of becoming a terrible joke of their former selves.

There's MANY modern Metal bands that are much better than Metallica in their prime. Why do people cling to old tired musicians, praying they'll return to their glory days instead of opening their eyes to incredible music that is still being put out?

When I heard that last Linkin Park album, I just hung my head.

Rick Rubin is a boring producer.

Radio-friendly hurts my ears.

Here's hoping for a party on the patio

Kerry King on Rick Rubin working with Metallica:

"Nobody can save that sinking ship."

Yeah, but he made Weezer suck, and suck hard (compared to the early stuff).

Anyone else hungry? (new window)

One of the few bands that when they're not so good, they're still better than 85% of what's out there. When they're good, nobody can touch 'em.

Is that the lyric? All this time I thought it was

Oh I want her,
I said I got to have her.

Whadya know.



Anyway, I look forward to a Rubin-ZZ Top combo. No synths or sequencers.

Maybe not to me and you, but to a WHOLE generation of people that he introduced them to? Yeah...pretty irrelevant.

As long as they play it in the key of G demolished it should be fine.

You mean it's not possible to be a fan of a band you grew up listening to while also enjoying other, newer bands?

Why didn't I get that memo??????

That's your own fault for listening to Linkin Park.

subby fails miserably

Yeah tell that to the 20 year old who had never heard of him, and likely never would have heard of him if he'd never hooked up with Rubin, who's standing in line at Hot Topic right now about to by a DOPE "Johnny Cash 'Man In Black'" tshirt.

/face facts...until the early 90's Johnny Cash from a musical standpoint had fallen into the realm of completely irrelevant.

someone doesnt remember the 80s.

Here is my suggestion to whomever records/engineers ZZ TOP:



THROW THAT STUPID GODDAMNED ANNOYING ASS SEQUENCER-ARPEGGIATOR OUT THE F*CKING WINDOW

I can't stomach anything beyond TOP's first six masterpieces.

Dr Fever: you judge relevence on what a 20 year old kid at Hot Topic knows?

graggor: I remember the 80s just fine, Johnny Cash was playing to packed houses all over the world

mrEdude:Rick Rubin is a boring producer.

Since when is Reign in Blood radio friendly?

I love Johnny Cash, but Good Lord Above do people deify him (usually the people who just own one Greatest Hits album). The fact is that while the guy undeniably put out some all time classics, but he also put out a lot of cheesy, commercial crap (see Johnny Cash Classic Christmas) trying to make a buck off the flavor du jour and had a lot of dead periods in his career. Rubin did help revitalize his career and introduce him to a new generation of fans.

We get it ... you're cool because you listen to Cash. Thanks for shouting it from the rooftops. Now go buy a Billy Joe Shaver album and really impress someone.

I'm 19. Cash is, was, and always will be relevant. Fark all the emo idiots my age who don't recognize this man's greatness.

HaHA!
Nailed it!

I have weird and mixed feelings about Rubin in general.
Those three SLAYER records he produced are without a doubt the high water mark of American Metal music and they are pure masterpieces.(don't forget to give the band some credit too!)

I feel he ruined the album "Electric" by The CULT.
(check out a CULT record called "Manor Sessions" which is the pre-Rubin version and sounds more like their "Love" album)

I recently got the Neil Diamond record Rubin produced.
It is weird.
It is totally unlike Diamond but in some ways I think it kinda compliments his songwriting style. The production is sparse but it has an intimacy to it that I admire.

id like to know when he was ever 'relevant'. that being said, this has ruling written all over it.

Didn't he blow off the mighty SLAYER to work on the new Metallica album? "Christ Illusion" is a completely rockin' disc, but the latest batch of Bob Seger covers and FM radio friendly disappointments lies at the bottom of the same pond as "Chinese Democracy".
In my opinion, Rick backed the wrong horse.

Please tell me where I can find a metal song from a new band that is as good as Master of Puppets. I have a bad feeling you're just going to link to some obscure Norwegian death metal band that's so hardcore!

1) Your use of the term "cookie monster" just leads me to think you know nothing about metal.

2) I'm afraid bands like Cynic and Atheist are simply wasted on you.

3) Even if you are a limited metal listener who seems to think the genre ends at thrash, why not listen to good thrash? Metal Church slays Metallica (funny considering Sanitarium is a rip of a "Church" tune).

care to tell us which one its a rip off of?
