I was recently reading opinions on the various Metallica albums(this entire article excludes absolutely the embarresment of St. Anger by the way). Upon reading the opinions on their albums from their testosterone driven "Kill em' All" to their bluesy ensembles from "Re-Load".
Upon reading these, I realized a trend of old die hard mullets chanting how shitty "Re-Load" was and how they wished oh so badly to be back in the days of tracks such as "Seek and Destroy" and "Call of the Ktula".
Now, this may come as quite a shock to you 30 something year olds who still have your Tour of 85' shirts on cut off at the sleeves, but METALLICA GREW UP!!!!!!!!! That's right friends, by the time they hit 30, they weren't 20 ANYMORE!!! People evolve!! MUSIC EVOLVES!!! YOU CAN'T BLAST OUT SEEK AND DESTROY WHEN YOU'RE 35 AND LIFE ISN'T ABOUT KILLIN EM' ALL ANYMORE PERSAY! I mean, these guys haven't aged ONE DAY since Master of Puppets hit the shelves??!?! I mean, time to look in the mirror you know!??
Now...Dr. AC/DC has a prescription for you poor souls. Cut your hair...James Hetfield did it over a decade ago. Fix the rust spots on your 1989 Dodge Spirit. Better yet, scrap it and buy a new car. STOP drinking 24's of Molson Extra Dry over Monday Night Raw. Send the back payments in Support Cheque's you've been using to buy Lorlene's services with. After all this is said and done, sit down, pop in Load, and then Re-load. Rince and repeat. Throw in the Black Album, and if it's too much too fast, 20 cc's of Justice for All.
My underlying message is grow up.
P.S. I'm so very sorry to all you poor Americans for the tragedy that has befallen you as of last night's election. For those of you who voted for the man who hauled himself out of alcoholism not five years prior to the 2000 election and was home schooled how to read on his 40th birthday....I say this "SLEEP NOW IN THE FIRE!!!!!!" cue guitar riff...

Metallica faded from pinkish red to pink.
They always sucked.

Metallica sold out. End of story. You say that it is the fans that want Kill 'em All back that need to let go of the past. How about you stop holding on to a band that hasn't done any thing good since the late 80's? There's a song on the black album called Fade to Black. That's exactly what's happening. They have faded. They still make music, but it's not as good. We expect a certain something from 'tallica, but they fail to do that.

Nice post.
But Metallica sucks my ass now. I LOVE them, but their new music sucks my balls. They should just retire with their wife and kids, like the rest of our miserable society.

Fuck that Metallica SOLD THE FUCK OUT.
I swa them when the Black Albumn came out, and they fucking rocked. It was everything a rock concert should be. I also saw them on the 4th of July after Re-Load came out. Not only were the ticket prices Ungodly but the show was such a highly produced peice of shit. I was expecting Britney Spaers to come out next.
And who's the spokespeople for anti-pirating? Yes it's these sell out MOTHER FUCKERS!
I grew up listening to them, and they are inlike the top 10 EVER. But I will NEVER pay to see them again, nor weep when they die.
