>played thrash in the 80s when it was popular>not only survived the 90s when grunge, hard rock and nu metal were all the rage, they got more popular than ever by playing more commercial songs>tried to protect what was legally theirs and save the industry suing Napster. he was right all along>made a pseudo nu metal album because that's what was still popular at the time>kino comeback thrash album after all that 90s and early 00s shit diedlike him or not, he is the perfect businessman
>>130808235Pity about his drumming skill
it's difficult to believe that this faggy little twerp actually reproduced.with Connie Nielsen.
>>130808235>made a pseudo nu metal albumqrd?
>>130808235>Lars Ulrich is a greedy conniving jewThanks for that news flash Tom Brokaw
>>130808235>he was right all alongNo, he wasn't.
>>130808235>>not only survived the 90s when grunge, hard rock and nu metal were all the rage,they released load in 1996, when literally grudge died
>>130808235Maggie Rogers is looking absolutely stunning
>>130808397He co-wrote and plays great music, what have you done? I bet you are a great drummer, what is the name of your band? The incel's? Go home to your mommies basement.
>>130808397I think after the 80s he correctly realised people don't like songs because they have complicated drumming, that's only for a very niche autistic publicSo he stopped being a tryhard
>>130808235Thrash wasn't that popular in the 80s. Infact Metallica weren't even a huge band before the music video for "One" got huge off of MTV. Metallica weren't nobodies mind you, they were the biggest thrash band in America, and opened for some mainstream acts but like, they weren't that popular.I remeber seeing them open for Ozzy, it must have been Master of puppets era (or maybe shortly before that album was released) I went with my Sister and her friends who all loved Ozzy, but mainly listened to hair metal. They HATED Metallica. They said it was giving them a heatache lol, they basically left for most of Metallica's set.
>>130811571Imagine walking out of seeing Cliff Burton play the bass. Fucking regret of the century.
>>130810845Pot calling the kettle black much?
>>130809272And Butt Rock was born.
>>130810845Sup James
>>130808235>and save the industry suing Napster. he was right all alongHe only cared about his ass, you don't see him campaigning against the internet now. The issue wasn't the fucking internet per se, it was ownership and subculture. There is no proletarian resistance here against the ongoing fascism, so there is nothing cool as a result, nothing for capitalism to bank on and appropriate like it had back then. He was fine with tape-trading when it helped grow Metallica's reputation, even though he could have as well said "no, you should only own legal copies of our music".
>>130811721I saw Mastodon at a festival in 2014 and didn’t know them or their music that well so I just walked away and watched something else after a few songs. This will be a lifelong regret after Brent Hind’s passing
>>130808235>made a pseudo nu metal album because that's what was still popular at the timeretard zoomer, st. anger was a massive failure. someone as dumb as kirk was able to see it in advance.https://youtu.be/-UYPpOYXYWc
>>130809127People call St Anger a "nu metal" album, or here, "pseudo nu metal", because it definitely isn't thrash and there's pretty much nothing else that sounds like it; it gets lumped in because of contemporaneity as well as because of its raw sound and themes again being mostly aligned with what other labelled nu metal artists were doing.
lesson (you) must learnif you are going to sell out, do it right by writing good sellout songsMetallica did it right with the black album's singles and somehow One got pretty big before, then with re/load's singlesMegadeth got lucky with Symphony of Destruction and A Tout Le Monde but I still consider that as doing it right although he tried again for 2 more albums and mostly failed, but at least he got a good amount of casheveryone else just embarrassed themselves during their sellout phase simply because they wrote dogshit and betrayed their fans for nothing
>>130815132nonetheless Lars was adamant that they shouldn't put guitar solos in it because nu metal didn't have them and that was "current"
>>130814884Where's the lie?Metal purist neckbeards have still yet to grow up.
>>130815061>He only cared about his ass, you don't see him campaigning against the internet now. Yeah it’s a little fucking late for that retard. And why should he not care about his music? He worked to make it so he deserves to ask for the royalty payments when you enjoy the fruits of his labor. Stop being such an entitled little bitch
>>130815119The only people who hate St Anger are "hardcore" Metallica "fans" who swear by the 1980s shit, which sounds completely different from St Anger, so of course they wouldn't be keen on it if they were there because of something radically opposite sonically. Same as Load/Reload era fans not being keen on the other stuff.
>>130815136>They sold out!!!!No, they didn’t “sell out” you pretentious scene faggot, James Hetfield is one of the most prolific singer-songwriters of ballads in rock history. He was involving artistically and wanted to express more than just powerchord thrash riffs. You sound like the biggest faggot taking other men to task for “selling out” like you are their judge, while you produce fucking NOTHING
>>130815119>https://youtu.be/-UYPpOYXYWcyou neckbeards always clip his "bullshit" comment out of context and leave out the part immediately after where he basically concedes to Lars's reaffirmation of his own opinion
>>130815139That's a very disingenuous framing. He didn't point to nu metal. He was making the point that it's not an integral part of the genre's overall identity, which nu metal's success may have already proven, and that the "guitar solo" stereotype was played out and something new needed to be tried. Kirk says in that clip that even he was disinterested in the traditional guitar solo at that point, and wanted to reinvent it somehow. From Lars's point of view, however, the guitar solo was self-indulgent and distracting in a way that would not serve the album, which is almost certainly correct. St Anger isn't about virtuousity and shredding.
>>130808419Who did you reproduce with faggot
>>130815139he's always been a FOTM trend rider like trying to justify the shitty brickwalling on Death Magnetic because 'lol that's just how music sounds now XD'
>>130815196>From Lars's point of view, however, the guitar solo was self-indulgent and distracting in a way that would not serve the album, which is almost certainly correct>guitar solo lame wankeryThat you, Cuckgau?
>>130815171they totally sold out, then they wrote thrash again, guess why
>>130815310>then they wrote thrash again, guess whybecause their "core" fanbase didn't like it and the band got through the emotional impetus for the album and so no longer needed the sound
>>130815219>he's always been a FOTM trend riderand the best one at that, hence his massive success while most failed>>130815365because they were already rich and writing normie slop was no longer needed
>>130815310They didn’t go back to thrash, they invented Dad Thrash
>>130815377t. Lars
>>130811520complexity doesn't matter, tightness doeshe is not tight
>>130817194>>130815289that's why i don't like the original The Band version of "The Weight." it's slow loose and sloppy as fuck.
>>130815196their best and most famous songs all have guitar solos
>>130815219all of us who were kids back then hated the brickwalling and boring music with no solos in nu metal. it's amazing how out of touch they were with the kids by then.
>>130817218You have no ear for what a tight band sounds like
>>130817248^This. If Lars had done a survey in 2002 most of us would have been screaming "No _don't_ play downtuned buttmetal chords with no solos. Don't!"
>>130817254post your examples of that for us
>>130815219Lars also has major hearing loss issues, he's in no place to judge the mastering quality of anything.
>>130808235>made a pseudo nu metal albumwhich?
>>130815119St Anger, Load, and Reload are KINO.
Slayer were just as bad when they tried nu metal.
I like every Metallica album.
>>130810845Imagine actually thinking you need to be able to do a thing to recognize when thing being done is done shitty...Not being able to play drums does not preclude one from noting shitty tempo, sloppy play, etc. I'm sure Lars "fix it in post" Ulrich appreciates your slobbin' his knob though.
Ultimately, Metallica wouldn't be as big as they are without Lars, and even Musty Dave would recognize his marketing genius.
>>130811571Women always have shit taste in nearly everything thats why I don't take them seriously. They're good as masturbation aid but not much else.
>>130817762Ditto Lars having serious tinnitus issues and still thinking he's in a position to judge an album's mastering.
>>130815146Sounds like some dude with a mullet and Judas Priest shirt shoved you in a locker too many times.
>>130811571idk i wouldn't want to date a chick that was into thrash metal lol only weird ugly dykes did that
>>130817536Reload is more fun than Load which is a fucking slog but it has higher highs. St Anger is aids
>>130817367The Band absolutely played well together and were tight. Maybe they have a slight swing that classic rock bands of the 60s/70s tended to have that you're confusing for a lack of tightness, but the parts line up well together and they were able to do it live to a similar, sometimes better in the case of The Last Walz, level of tightness. Millions of examples of Lars straight up losing time/falling off beat.
