I love the old Metallica. and i like the newer Metallica.
My first Metallica record i bought was the Jump In Fire EP when i was 13 back in 1984!
I think there's so much "hate" amongst the metal crowd because they went somewhat commercial.
The black album wasn't speed metal anymore and load and re-load (in my humble opinion are a load of shit)
Where's the Metal in METALllica? It's rock. Not Metal
It gained a big following with the general rock music crowd but it wasn't the old Metallica i love (and the same goes for a lot metalheads out there)
Things were getting better with St Anger...but the production sucks.
I do like Death Magnetic. However the production could have been better on that one as well.
Having said that....the production from And Justice For All doesn't sound too great either.
Where's the bass? And Lars double bass sounds like an old typewriter
Fingers crossed for their new record. It might be good. :)
