3 New Metallica Songs

[Undertow]

Here is a link to 3 new Metallica songs. My first impression is that it is no And Justice/Master of Puppets combo like they said but it is an improvement from St. Anger. The solo on the 3rd song isn't half bad. Metallica will never be what they were but we'll see what they do on the new album.

EDIT: the guitar at 5:00 on the first song is quite impressive.thumbsup It's a little bit Iron Maiden-ish even

Damn! Another one!!!! Feels like Christmas.

I do miss the old Metallica. :(

I must say, I was expecting worse from them. I may be half drunk but as far as the guitar goes, I like it......so far.

[Figure8ball]

Damn! You're drunk and listening to Metallica? Suddenly, I got nostalgic for highschool.

[Undertow]

Man, whoever does download these songs, I HIGHLY recommend going to the 5 minute mark on the first song and listening from there, you would never guess in a million years it was Metallica !!! Very,very impressive.

I am going to go out on a limb here and say that this new album will not suck. (Sept 12th)

If this would have come out after And Justice or even the Black Album, I am not so sure, but given these 3 songs that are available, they aren't half bad. Not at all.thumbsup

I think the new bassist played with Suicidal. He might have thrown in something Metallica badly needed.I saw something on their documentary,Some Kind of Monster, and he was trying to get the part, he requested they play Battery. He tore it up. I hate to see Jason go but he knew they were starting to suck and spoke up about it.

Hah, my 6 year old loves Metallica already, she definately took after me like that.

Affirmative. Randy Trujillo was the bassist on the "Art of Rebellion" disk. That is probably my favorite Suicidal disk. Randy's amazing playing had a lot to do with it.

When I was in Tacoma, WA last week, they were playing the new Metallica stuff on the radio. The stripped down sound is like St. Anger (which I inintially didn't like, but grew to love), but the aggressive playing and ballsy guitar work reminds me of Master of Puppets, which I think was their hardest disk (I go back all they way to "Kill 'Em All").

Just hearing the new stuff takes me back to my high school stoner days, when Metallica was "our" band and we were members of that select fraternity who KNEW. Then, "And Justice For All" came out and everybody jumped on board. It was an exciting period when we were all listing to the stuff from Seattle. Friends were bringing bootlegs back to Texas. I would play Soundgarden at parties. Reactions were along the lines of "Holy Shit! Who is THAT?" Nobody was yet calling it grunge. Like Hunter S.Thompson said in Fear and Loathing, we all knew we were on the crest of some huge wave that was about to break. Exciting times, full of adrenaline and fear. I guess every generation feels that way at some moment <sigh>.

So far, that's what I'm getting from it. I can hardly wait for the rest of the disk.

I'm a Metallica fan from way back. I remember when I was 13 and one of my friends introduced me to And Justice For All on a school field trip. That was 1989. I fell in love with the album and within a year I had all of their albums up to that point.

I still think AJFA is my favorite Mertallica album. Maybe it's just because that's the first one I fell in love with but it really is a lyrically beautiful album, not to mention that it's arguably their darkest and angriest.

The Black Album is the last one I bought. To me, that album was kind of a cross-over between the stuff they used to play and everything they've released since then. The stuff they have come out with since then has been ok but it's not the same. Most of the stuff they've released since The Black Album has been what I would refer to as "fun" or "upbeat" metal. It's not the same dark, angry, brutal stuff they used to play. I suppose that's what happens to most bands when they get a little older, get married, have kids and quit doing drugs. That's why Newstead left the band and he's said so himself, in so many words.

Regardless of where Metallica goes from here, I will always love the old Metallica and probably at least like the new. Laters,

Ken

I can still remember being sore and bruised the next day after they played that for an encore on there first (pre-"One" hype) And Justice for All tour.

In fact, in the old colleseum in Houston, acousical tiles were falling from the ceiling. All the chairs ended up in a pile on the floor, with people throwing them out of the second tier. People were buried in the pile.

Absolute mayhem.
