>>220385779The moment MegaDave left the band
>>220385808Insane how if Cliff lived, Lars would've gotten his ass kicked out of the band before 1990 and him and James would've released albums on par with MoP

for me it's hero of the day>>220385906nah, james was the trash guy until he mellowed out. cliff was already mellow, listened to a bunch of shit and did steer metallica more towards the slow and melodic. with cliff alive they might've done load a lot sooner
TRL comes on after school, immediately change the channel.

>>220386507Jason himself said this song was fucking trash
>>220386568>the guy who formed echobrain thinks someone ELSE'S song is trash
For me it's Chillout Zone and Alternative Nation.
>>220386568'Tallica's a family brother - I'm talking blood and shit. Sometimes family gotta spread its wings, flee the nest - but Jason's always welcome in the 'Tallica crib - and this one here, this is just a little special one just for you - we don't play it often.

>>220386540Yeah. Started listening as a kid in '89.When the Black album came out, I'm like what is this shit?
>>220386901directed by uwe boll
>>220385779After The Black Album I believe
>>220386316>with cliff alive they might've done load a lot soonerWhat a horrible post. This part is the worst. Cliff would never degrade himself into releasing an album with blood, cum and piss on the cover. With cliff it would've been 2v2 on releasing that trash. Probably would've broken up then. James has always been the based one.
Did Jason's Egobrain project ever go anywhere?
>>220385763Load was a great album in and of itself, it was just a bad Metallica album. And yet, it was still better than every Metallica album that came afterwards.
>>220385779Black Album
>>220388658hmmm, no
>>220385779Really, it was Load.Black Album is the go to choice for nomalfags, but at least that was a well crafted arena rock album. Load/Reload suck because they didn't just mimic alt-rock, they did it badly and looked retarded doing so.
i like st anger
>How can I put this? I guess when I talked [earlier in the interview] about the resentments of being left out of the bond that they had through their drug use — Lars and Kirk were very into abstract art, pretending they were gay. I think they knew it bugged me. It was a statement around all that. I love art, but not for the sake of shocking others. I think the cover of "Load" was just a piss-take around all that. I just went along with the make-up and all of this crazy, stupid shit that they felt they needed to do.Loadsisters....our response?
>>220389514Based and same>THIS MONSTER LIVES
>>220389514>>220389609Don't you think it's just...gotta word my post carefully here....a bit stock?
>>220385779Reload, even load had a couple of good songs. Ride the lightning is their best by far
>>220386319>get home from school>mtv the grind is onTook hours to recover
>>220385779
>>220389532I just get the sense that James strongly physically abused Kirk, tossed him around, beat him up, locked him in rooms, froze his fingers, starved him, that sort of arrangement. I think it was a sort of symbolic parental deal, with Papa Het embodying the explosive paternal anger, while Lars was the insidious maternal force. So James would beat Kirk black and blue and torture his balls with diesel-covered wrenches and motorcycle tools, and Lars would be there by Kirk's cot, passively aggressively lancing him with a lullaby ritual of intense verbal castigation, always finished with Lars stubbing out his cigarette on Kirk's nips. I get the sense that's what inspired Jason to write the lead-in riff to Blackened, Kirk's big distended black-pudding nips, distorted beyond recognition.
Imagine being such a flagrant homosexual that you hate the kino blues/southern rock era of Metallica.
>>220385779Their last album is the worst fucking run of the mill "hey the rent is due" album they ever made. The shit sounds AI made
>>220389742>>220386507>>220385763What were they honestly trying to do here? Were they trying to go alternative or something? I like went groups change their image and shit but Metallica didn't even evolve their sound like say Radiohead did from being a shitty brit pop band to what they did with OK Computer and Kid A. Metallica just wrote more hard rock radio songs
THE TRASH FIRE IS WARMBUT NOWHERE SAFE FROM THE STORMAND I CAN'T BEAR TO SEEWHAT I'VE LET ME BESO WICKED AND WORN
>>220385779I agree with Black Album. ...And Justice for All is overproduced and starts to sound like big corporate label "heavy metal," but it doesn't really suck and isn't total garbage like everything after
>>220390281'Tallica were entering their crazy cool Dad phase after the Black Album raped their minds. Ripening like a well-aged slab of beefsteak. Marbled. Even Lars was sweating liquid mercuryCan't ride the lightning if you're not hitting that thunder. And all the storms were in alternative grunge-adjacent indie scene, OOOH. Gotta get the green if you want to build up a 'Tallica army.But really, it was all about Papa Het. He was always the big burly beef-spine of the bandThe One Man Riff Machine Gun, the Downstroke Dog DemolisherMan needs his meat, Dog needs a boneOooh yeah, OOH, NOW SO WHERE'S YOUR CROWN KKIIIINNNGG NOOOTHINGGGGAHHHHHHYEAAAHHHYEAAAHHHGIMME FUEL GIMME FIYAH GIMME THAT WHICH I DESIREMMMYEAAHHAHH YEAH YEAH, HERE I GO NOW, HERE I OOOH AND SO I DUB THEE UNFORGIVEEENNNEAAAHH YEAH DANCE LITTLE TIN GODDESS
>>220389471Every album up to and including Justice for all = Thrash metalBlack album onwards = Hard rock and gay ballads.It's when they completely shifted gears down several notches and changed genres completely.Black album is the objectively and empirically correct answer.
>>220385763Should not have allowed them to fuck you in the ass then. Faggot. Gaytallica is so lame.
>>220385804Wrong. They always sucked. Day one they sucked.
>>220391000Dave lost
>>220385779I unironically think Load/Reload are better than KEM, which is their worst album outside of St. Anger. Nothing on KEM is as good as Bleeding Me, Outlaw Torn, Fixxxer, or Low Man's Lyric.
>>220390281>What were they honestly trying to do here?They definitely tried to jump on the alternative/grunge bandwagon, but missed it by 4 years so they just looked dumb and poser.>Metallica didn't even evolve their sound like say Radiohead did from being a shitty brit pop band to what they did with OK Computer and Kid ARadiohead devolved from being a good alternative rock band to a bad britpop band to being an absolute horrific shit overall band on OK Computer and onward. Everything they've done after The Bends are completely unlistenable.

Load & Reload would have made for one amazing 11/10 album if only they deleted half the songs and put it on a single disc.
>>220385779Never, you just have shitty taste.
>>220391215They started to go crappy with Load and Reload because you knew it wasn't really them and that it didn't came from the heart, even though there are some good songs on both albums.
>>220385763>Turn on MTV in 1996
DARKNESS IMPRISONING MEI CANNOT LIVEI CANNOT DIEABSOLUTE HORROR
Like it or not, Metallica was an important part of my formative years as a kid turning into a teenager. It's difficult for me to be objective.>1993'ish (11-12 years old)My older brother gave me a mixed tape with a few songs from the black album and I thought it was the coolest shit ever. Never heard anything like that before.>1995'ishI get my first CD player and my first CDs include Master of Puppets, Justice, and the Black Album. I listen to this constantly. The only information I have about the band is the little CD booklets which I study like they were sacred texts.>1996My best friend buy Load and I think wtf is this shit.>1998At this point I had kinda given up on Metallica, but someone gifted me Garage Inc and I thought it was amazing. It was my last Metallica album. Internet music piracy became a thing soon after and I collected every single MP3 I could get my hands on, so my taste in music diversified a lot after this.Thanks for reading my blog.
>>220391460>They started to go crappy with Load and Reload because you knew it wasn't really them and that it didn't came from the heartI'm giving Load and Reload the benefit of doubt. They are very mature albums, theme and musical-wise. Yeah, it's not thrash metal, not even metal at all, but bluesy hard rock. But good bluesy hard rock with a dozen memorable banger songs. If they didn't come from the heart, then I don't know where from.It's everything that came after Reload - that's not them. That's just some rehab boomers trying to rekindle the spark that has died decades ago. They're trying to sound like the first four albums, but it's just so forced. And 72 Seasons is the most terminally boring metal album I've ever heard, and I've been listening to metal for almost 40 years (started with AJFA in fact).Instead of continuing to embrace change and evolution, like they maybe tried to do with (Re)Load, they embrace the hasbeen-ness and larping as their 20 year old selves.
>>220393109How do I unsubscribe from this blog?
>>220393109You sound retarded
>>220393109>two best albums not even mentionedI'd beat your poseur ass irl
>>220386175lol
>>220385779>When did Metallicrap start sucking?"Old school" metallifags (and their zoomer imitators) will say when Cliff Burton died, but in reality they were still holding up until Load. That music video was a bombshell in schoolyards across the country and around the world, and not in a good way. Then Napster happened, and it really sealed the deal that they were sellout poseurs.... which we all would have realized sooner if Lars' gay sex tapes had been released.>>220385878Megadeth had its fair share of missteps from the 90s onward too, even as recently as 2022. But despite Mustaine's continued relapses into failed "experiments">Hey guys, you know what Megadeth fans really want to hear? Some nigger rapping!he still has at least some tenuous grasp of the plot.
>>220393888Half of MoP is wanky crap already
>>220385779Real answer, only recently. 72 Seasons was meh. Kirk is checked out, though his solo album was rather interesting. At some point you just run out of those ideas that made you something else. It's normal.
>>220393888I understand why James, Lars and Kirk cut their hair short, because they were losing their hair, but if you're a metal guy and have Jason's hairline, it's your good damn duty to have long hair.
>>220393888Credit to Mustaine for hanging it up. Should have done it sooner though. Dystopia was unreal. The last 2 albums have one full decent album between them
>>220385779Black Album. The whole thing is terrible from start to finish.
>>220394320The schoolyard wisdom was that they cut their hair because they were trendchasing homos who were hoping to maintain or increase airplay in the new Alternative landscape. Which is probably true, because all metal is fake & gay. But as kids, we didn't know that yet, we still took the kayfabe at face value.For example, we didn't know that Pantera was formerly a glam metal band who used to play gay bars, until some savvy jewish producer convinced them there was profit to be had in the Angry White Trash market segment, and Diamond Darrell became Dimebag Darrell, and the rest is history.... until that fateful white-hot summer of 1992.Heavy Metal is frankly more enjoyable as an adult, now that I'm finally in on the joke.
>>220390281 This was their kinoest era, lookswise. Granted, it only fit because they were playing slow, plodding, "I hate and pity myself" songs on the Load albums.
>>220391127What is KEM?
>>220393109I stopped listening to them in the 90s. It wasn't until 2000 and S&M where "I just gotta hear this" that I heard my first Load-era songs. Ofc, it was only the good ones they included on S&M, but I was blown away. Att, I was done with metal, so they suited me just fine. Haven't owned or heard a Met' album since St. Anger.
>>220394320lol, Jason was the FIRST to cut his hair.
>>220385763Metallica was great until they released the No Life 'til Leather demo. After that they were just sell-outs.
>>220385779The shorter James hair got, the gayer his voice got and the worse the band became. When he got tatted up it was officially joever for them. People will shit on the Black Album, but that was when James voice was at its peak at least. Their live shows doing the old stuff was pure kino during that era. Load/Reload had a handful of good songs (Bleeding Me, Outlaw Torn, Low Man's Lyric, Fixxxer), but after that the band became irredeemable.
I just had a dream I met James Hetfield, weird.

>>220395106>Manowar would personally murder every other loser mentioned ITTDoes a long, slow death from received AIDS count as murder?

>>220395146Just as long as John Manowar doesn't fist me with that squirrel.

Maybe you metalheads can help me. I live in an apt building and on the weekends between like 2am-right now, there's this guy like two floors above me, hear him clear as day in my bathroom and he is screaming on/off non-stop. It's mostly incoherent, but I have recognized:>HELP! >shut the fuck up!>aaaaaah!What does this? Listening to Megadeth?
>>220395379Oh and he pounds and stomps. As if he's locked in the bathroom 2 floors above me. Maybe I'll record it and vocoroo it for you guys?
