That’s too bad, I have front row tickets to the Toronto show.
It was actually kind of the opposite. As they all got older and were coming off the Black Album (which they were also accused of being sellouts for making) they all started to have different influences and they had 'fuck you money' by that point so decided to make a double disc of whatever the fuck they wanted although it got split into 2 releases. The fans then got big mad that they wanted to express themselves artistically. Metallica has released 10 albums and the 3 worst sellers were Load (#8) Reload (#9) and St Anger (#10).Do you like Metallica? ... Their early work was the peak of heavy metal for my tastes, but when Load came out in '96, I think they really sold out their long-time fans, commercially and artistically.
I've been a big Metallica fan ever since the release of their 1988 album, And Justice For All. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual.It was actually kind of the opposite.

If you want to have a good time go and watch the documentary 'Some Kind of Monster'. I know what you're thinking "I saw it. It was terrible." No, no. Go back and watch it as an unintentional comedy like 'Tiger King', or 'Fyre'.
Missed it the first time round. Bravo.I've been a big Metallica fan ever since the release of their 1988 album, And Justice For All. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual.
It was on And Justice.. where Kirk Hammett's presence became more apparent. I think One was the group's undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding albums. CMNH, take off your robe.
Listen to the brilliant ensemble playing of Newsted, Hammett and Hetfield. You can practically hear every nuance of every instrument. Sex Chicken, remove your dress. In terms of lyrical craftsmanship, the sheer songwriting, this album hits a new peak of professionalism.
Take the lyrics to Dyers Eve. In this song, James Hetfield addresses the problems of his Christian Science-influenced upbringing. Their lyrics are as positive and affirmative as anything I've heard in hard rock. CMNH, get down on your knees so Sex Chicken can see your asshole.
Metallica's' later career seems to be more commercial and therefore more satisfying, in a narrower way. Especially songs like The Day That Never Comes and Unforgiven II. I also think Kirk Hammett works best within the confines of the group, than as a solo artist, and I stress the word artist.
Why don't you make a thread when Skrillex and the Bhad Bhabie tour together.Holy fucking boomer thread
