Done. And done

Fark Metallica. They've been rich far too long to be angry about anything. That's why the music sucks.

They're angry because they couldn't get their solid gold Ferrari.

A gimmick to sell a CD?

How bad is this album going to suck?

came here to say this. No matter how hard they try, it will never be 1/10 as cool as the MISFITS box set

Were they ever good? I always thought they were shiat myself.

Rarely, if ever, has a band gone from such heights of awesome to such depths of suck.

This album is going to be great.

Think about how long it's been since Metallica's last good album.

Think how every album after that got worse.

That's how bad.

 
Alamo_Melt 2008-07-10 10:43:45 PM  
I came here to mention the Misfits coffin but rocinante721 did a better job. That's at least the 2nd idea Metallica's "covered" from the Misfits.

free download of a special European show happening in September."

I can have a free download of any of their music, anytime I want, and I just don't want. They suck too much to even pirate anymore.

Damn, you're really missing out. Listen to Master of Puppets sometime.

Cliff never had the opportunity to suck but he would have.

 
trebekmustdie 2008-07-10 10:46:56 PM  
Metallica can do whatever the hell they see fit. Even if every album they put out from now til the cows come home sucks worse than St. Anger I'm still buying a concert ticket.
Rick Rubin > Bob Rock

 
So Long Dental Plan 2008-07-10 10:48:48 PM  
Oh burn! You can't download a coffin shaped box. I'm sure sales will be through the roof and there will be no pirating.

So do you work directly for Metallica or for Atlantic Records?

Yeah, but to put it in perspective, my ass > Bob Rock

FTFY.

And I don't know why, but felt like doing this:

trebekmustdie:Rick Rubin Roll > Bob Rock Costas

FTFY too.

Cliff would have got a haircut and put on mall clothes too. Whatever it took to keep the big checks rolling in.

You would too, not that it's an admirable thing. That's just the way it is.

Doubt Metallica has any trouble selling cds or concert tickets now, but it is true that the coolness left the band around 1992. Long before Napster.

FTFY, subby

Hey, great. A coffin. Wow. Can wait.

Metallica has a large 'collector' following, this specific box set is directed at them, as was the re-released vinyls.

This is them acknowledging their collector fanbase, and doing something pretty damn cool for them.

This isn't the 'regular market' CD.

 
browntimmy 2008-07-11 12:22:05 AM  
It's funny how whenever Metallica makes a peep, it makes Fark. Do we really need a thread about this?

Anyway, some of their new stuff sounds promising. I'm sure it won't be a classic, but some of the samples do sound tasty. So does their Maiden cover. Link (new window)

I found a couple for sale at this obscure little internet shop.

Dead career? Subby must be pulling in millions off royalties every year and one of the most demanded live acts every time he announces a tour. The new album may suck, St Anger sucked, but to call Metallica career's dead is just retarded.

At least we still have Ride the Lightning

funny how Metallica is making Maiden covers....let me see, has Maiden made a selloutica cover...nope not yet.

metallica's theme song should be: "back in the day when I was young I'm not a kid anymore but sometimes I wish I was a kid again".

That would have nothing to do with Iron Maiden being a part of the NWOBHM movement that helped get Metallica together in the first place, eh?

Even more amazing that in the original classified ad that got James and Lars together, Iron Maiden was specified.

No wonder they would show appreciation for music they were formed upon, by performing covers and being present on tribute CDs.

So, if a band is specifically asked to do a cover for a tribute album by a magazine, they should turn it down because that's "selling out" ?

I'm confused.

No, but Bruce did a kick-ass cover of Sabbath Bloody Sabbath. But as for Maiden doing cover songs, hmmmmm....

Just release the piece of shiat and stop trying to polish the turd.

To all the Metallica haters:

I've never seen a group so dedicated to being whiny biatches.

 
Madbassist1 [TotalFark] 2008-07-11 10:35:49 AM  
geesh guys they're pushin 50 by now, I think a haircut and a slower tempo is not unwarranted.

If you hate them because of it, fine, but for godssakes

STFU about it.

*snort*

i knew someone would go that route. obviously, i am not. it's the whiny biatches who can't seem to stop obsessing over how much they hate someone that they have no obligation to pay attention to whatsoever.

People still like them ... a lot. Get over it.

considering that the band insists upon being the mascot for the unpopular side of one of the most contentious issues facing online media and the fact that they have taken one of the most precipitous nose-dives in rock history gives people a little license to biatch about metallica.

people have valid reasons to biatch about metallica in a metallica-based discussion forum... get over it.

(In)Valid reason #1: they don't want you to steal their music

(In)Valid reason #2: they made an album that absolutely sucked, granted, and a few that i don't like, and many others don't, but many really did like load and reload ... so i guess that's a nose dive

All in all, you guys are wasting energy biatching about a band that doesn't make the same music you liked back in '85. Grow up, find something else to latch onto, or get made fun of for being obsessive dipshiats on internet forums who can't find anything else to do but biatch about metallica ... who doesn't give a fark about you.

and yet you waste just as much energy defending a band that admittedly hasn't given you an album you've liked since 1991. but carry on internet warrior, carry on.
