New Metallica

I have'nt heard the whole album , but from what i heard on the radio i liked . Is it as hard as they're old stuff from the 80's ? no ,but what band with any mileage has"nt said "were gonna get back to our roots on this next album". and dissapointed SOME fans?So i enjoy the old stuff and let the new stuff grow on me.

I'm not really sure what my favorite album from them is, all of the first 4 are great.

I Hear some of the new shit on XM and its better than the usual garbage they put out.It kinda sounds like they put a little effort into this one.They know how to play with talent-look at justice-so i think they have been going for the radio play pussy mainsteam shit that makes money.They dumbed down their music just as the next generation of kids was coming along and they liked that sissy muddy foo-foo shit.It was a great business plan if you only like money.Fuck that.Rock out.
What was the line they said in Whiplash? Hotel rooms and motorways its life out in the raw,we'll never stop we'll never quit cause we are metallica.....Well that was back before they all turned 60 LOL.Maybe its time to hang it up.

the new stuff i heard sucks.

They are like a caricature of the band they used to be at this point. They are just doing it for the money.

how much were the tickets? just wondering. i'm 45 mins away from oakland.

wow, guys! Ever see a band stay exactly the way they were to start? NO, bands DIE away like that! And show me a band that isn't in it for the $, AND i'LL SHOW YOU A BUNCH OF TARDS.

Fdd tix were like $80 but got a free copy of cd overnighted with each ticket and a free copy of the concert afterwords. buit I did get 9th row......

They are playing in the round. Stage is in center of arena, I saw them play this way @ the forum (LA) once, forgot which tour, it was cool, but def. missed the pits! after looking @ your link I see a gen admission area around stage, interesting. How can you blame Metallica for the prices @ ticket company?

i quit going when tickets went from 20 up to 75. i was like "WTF?"

Tickets went from $20 to $75 for all bands! Nobody pays for music anymore, so bands have to make the $ on the road. But, remember in '83 cigarettes were $.85 a pack, and gas was, what? 1.35 a gallon.............FDD, I was and am not picking a fight in anyway with you....=)

i quit going to ALL shows.

Although, lately I feel like the Oldest person @ the concerts, There is something about LIVE show that just keep me going. I mean I'm going to be 40 and We (my wife and I) just went to the last Family values tour, drove down to oOrange county to see Linkin Park.......Seeing how I've never been to Oakland, I can't wait till December should be a Great weekend! And FDD, if you do pick up a ticket, I personaly will smoke you out b4 the show!!!!!!
