Metallica

kopman

i made this thread to talk about metallica and when there new album is coming when dey coming to ireland again etc....
so enjoy saying stuff bout metallica

steveone

i remember buying ride the lightening when it was released, loved metallica i did, learned all the solo's on all the old songs....., but for maybe two tracks anything after garage days /justice for all is poor IMO, wouldn't go to see them myself..

Mental Mickey

I agree. Some of the songs on their latter albums aren't up to scratch, but I'd still go to see them in concert. I think they're unbeatable as a live act. I'm going to see them in Wembley next month too. Can't wait.:D

Ah christ, another Metallica thread without any substance. Just like St Anger I guess

Ouch!!

Pretty much the same thread every 6 months.

Always the same:

New album coming out soon.
St. Anger sucked.
They went downhill after ..and justice...
They're now crap live.
Any irish gigs?

Dig around kopman, there's threads here and in Gigs/Events.

Iv seen Metallica 5 times since 1999, and they have never failed to blow me away. In fact they are so good live I shall be joining Mental Mickey on July 8th at Wembley Stadium

The most annoying thing in the world is having to listen to fifteen year olds outside Metallica gigs talking about how Metallica sold out. Many of them were not even born on the black album's release.

Kill Em All/Ride The Lightning/Master of Puppets/Justice were all amazing albums. However, my favourites are Load/Lighting. I was blown away by Load and ReLoad in the mid 1990s as an impressionable 11 year old. Yes it was a major change in their musical direction, however, it should not be considered an unwelcome change. Fans attitudes towards Load and Reload, have prevented Metallica from using it in their recent setlists. Fuel is the only song which regularly appears in live shows, with The Memory Remians, and Wasting My Hate making occasional appearences.

Frankly it is becoming frustrating how regular Metallica use the Songs from Master Of Puppets and The Black Album during live shows.

Since 1999 I have heard

Battery x5
Master of Puppets x5
Thingy x3
Sanitarium x3
Heroes x1
Orion x1
Damage Inc x2
Enter Sandman x5
Sad But True x5
Holier Than Thou x1
The Unforgiven x1
The God That Failed x2
Nothing Else Matters x5
Wherever I May Roam x3
My Friend of Misery (Jam)x1

Unfortunatly I have heard
2 Songs from Kill Em All (No Remorse x1 Seek and Destroy x5)
5 From Ride The Lightining (Fade x2, Kutulu x1, Fire x1,Bells x2 Creeping x5)
3 From Justice (Blackened x2, One x 5, Harvester of Sorrow x2)
2 from Load (King Nothing x2, Bleeding Me x1)
2 From Reload (Fuel x5, Memory Remians x1)
2 From Garage Inc (Turn the Page x1, Whiskey x 3)
1 From S&M (No Leaf Clover x2)
2 From St Anger (Frantic x3 St Anger x3)

Its time Metallica change thier setlist. Im not suggesting removing the greats, but I mean give more variety to the fans. Bells is only occasionally played in my presence, while I have heard very little from Justice and the Load era. Iv also heard very little from the Kill Em All Albuim.

More Variety would be great !

0ubliette

well i guess it gives me an excuse to post my alternative take on the stanger album cover..

Why would more variety be great?? They know exactly what songs that people want to hear!!! Face it, everyone who is a Metallica fan, absolutely LOVES the first 3 albums!!!!! The reason they don't do many songs from AJFA live is that, frankly, they are waaaaaaaaay too long. The only time I remember them doing more than one song from that album was on the Black Album tour, when they did a medley of songs. Also, they don't delve into too many songs from Load/Re-Load cos, frankly, they weren't too well recieved(at least Re-Load wasn't anyway). IF they were to do any songs from Re-Load live, I would love it to be The Unforgiven II - f***in class song.

If the Wembley gig is half as good as the gig in the RDS last summer, we're goin to get our heads blown off!!!!

Now, if only Ticketmaster UK would hurry their a***s up and send out the bloody tickets!!!!!???

See ya there Het-Field!!!:D

EDIT: By the way, has any of you who have purchased tickets for the Metallica gig, received an e-mail letting you know when tickets should be dispatched? I haven't received said e-mail yet, and with the gig being a month away, I'm gettin a WEE bit panicky!!!

I never said metallica were crap live. I was clearly giving an example of the sh1t that comes up whenever sombody starts a "Metallica" thread.

I was at the gig last summer and i've been at better gigs tbh.;)

For anyone whos interested in hearing the two new metallica songs in studio quality go here:

And here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWmMW3Dp7Nw&mode=related&search=

There not actually played by metallica buy by some guy who covers them really good, plus its in studio quality so. Imo they sound way way way better recorded than when played live by metallica but I still wouldnt buy a cd with them on it. Esp the second one, to me its just god awfull. Still though its a hell of a lot better than st."Festering pile of crap" anger.

So by that logic Westlife are one of the best quality bands in the world cos they always play loads of dates in big venues?

feylya

HEY, what are you saying about Westlife?!

Doctor J

HEY I'm saying that because they play bigger venues than Metallica over here they are clearly the superior musical force.

feylya

Ah, grand. I thought you were saying they were bad

Doctor J

Only if by bad you mean Michael Jackson bad, in which case, yes, they're bad mofos

^^ Definitely the most interesting and original statement posted in a Metallica thread on boards.ie. Any more, and its like squeezing blood out of a turnip

feylya

GLaDOS

I've never understood what was (supposedly) so great about the Black album...

faceman

^ as a long time hard core metallica fan i can no longer listen to the original album version of the songs as i find the album too over produced.

neGev

Metallica threads are great.

senordingdong

Yussss!!! Another Metallica thread!!!

irish_boy90

he was saying that westlife are better than metalica live. Gettim boy

Paligulus

Personally I think the main problem with Metallica, as a band, is that it insists upon itself.

Rob said in an interview that those two songs wont be on the new album, which I was delighted to hear!!!
Still kinda worries me that thats the kinda stuff it could be like.

I'm still gona hope for a good album though...... and pray!!!

Jaysus, Lars is going ninety on the double bass! Songs are nice and heavy anyway...nothing spectacular though. James sounds very different.

Hmm... hetfield, I'm wondering how accurate your set list is... certainly if you saw them in Ireland I remember them playing The Four Horsemen in 2004 to start with...

Overall I was disappointed by their performance here in 2004, but in 2006 they were superb!

No they didn't.
The only songs they played from Kill 'Em All were No Remorse and S&D.

Patricide

I didnt go, id seen metallica like 3 times before so i couldnt justify payig 60 euro to see em again.

senordingdong

Aw but c'mon, Linkin Park were there! How could you not go?!!?!?

Patricide

I was there for the year with linkin park haha, and as much as 99% of people despise them with all the fury of the earth i have no shame in saying that i like them(well up to there latest abomination of an album, whoud a thunk that taken out the rap would make them SUCK BALLS-to me anyway).

I dont remember them playing i dissapear then but i did get knocked out for a bit of it.

Ah no man. I love those songs, and they are great live. I aint complaining, just asking for more variety

They played Whisky in the Jar in 2003. Was my first ever gig, I remember that one well.

Na man. Remember, in 2004 people were shouting for Whiskey for the entire set, and Hetfield says "what you want" to which the crowd responded Whiskey, and hetfield exclaimed "we forgot to play it last time". They never played it in 2003 they finished with Enter Sandman.

Finally, I got my tickets for METALLICA AT WEMBLEY. And they look COOL

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

i was there for the gig they skipped whiskey, made my day. I was ****ing delighted. They left One for the last song.. far better finish to the night, way more climactic than that second rate cover.


I really thought they weren't going to play it (one)
