This is just a copy of a post I made on another forum, so don't get mad if it feels a little out of place:
Man, Metallica... I remember it like it was seven and a half years ago,
My cousin gave me a cassette where Master of Puppets was on one side and a magazine was on the other, man, seriously!!!
So, while all the other kids were listening to Spice Girls, I was humming along to Metallica,
They thought I was a freak,
Oh, how right they were!
And hey, anyone saying Metallica's first five albums suck clearly doesn't know a damn thing about music, period.
You don't have to love them, but you have to respect them!
Hell, I'm actually going to go to the damn concert because:
- I've got some cash sitting around, so I might as well blow it now
- I've got trauma from back when I could've gone to the show but didn't
- And it’s for the sake of those good old memories (just like 90% of the crowd)
If anyone thinks Saint Anger is garbage, let me hear you raise your hand!
I bought that expanded edition with the DVD, thinking there'd be some cool interview or documentary, but instead, it's just the band acting like idiots—some crappy recording of a rehearsal before the studio session. The quality is terrible, they look awful, they have the exact same freaking tracklist as the CD, and they're dancing around like they've lost their minds...
I actually felt bad for my DVD player for having to play such trash.
I mean, what the fuck happened?
They used to have the most incredible songs ever, when you look at the structure, the lyrics, the riffs...
When I started reading the lyrics to Anger, I almost choked; any guy in the Midwest could've written that crap.
Then I thought to myself, 'Man, Het, you've really sold out now!'
Just look at them, a bunch of morons:
They don't own anything—not the music, not the name, not even that angry guy Het drew on a napkin.
They have to do whatever their boss says; if he tells them, "Hey, write an album in ten minutes and I'll make sure it's a hit," then that's exactly what happens.
Seriously, Het can barely stay on his feet, and young Veka from Inciter sings better than him!
And Kirk, damn, that guy is a total fag!!!
Look at him, he's got a voice like Michael Jackson, and it's starting to sound like it too, but all that would change if he actually played his guitar properly.
The guy hasn't had a decent solo since his mom bought him a wah pedal for Christmas,
And yet they put him in the top ten guitarists of all time. Man, if he ever ended up on stage with Yngwie Malmsteen or Voja Stefanovski, he'd be hiding in his pink panties!
Don't even get me started on that new guy playing the bass,
The only one I can tolerate is Lars; he hits the drums like a steroid-fueled orangutan possessed by crazy mckravas,
As long as he stays tight enough so he doesn't fly off the stage at any second.
When I was a kid, I used to dream that Cliff Burton would rise from the grave like a zombie and shove his bass guitar up everyone's ass.
Ugh, I'm so pissed off right now that I'm gonna go listen to Orion just to calm down.
BTW, if anyone is interested, I can send you my high school senior thesis on Metallica. My teacher thought my opinion was "too vulgar," whatever that means.
So it's mostly general info, but it's a solid paper, and I'm pretty proud of it.
