I confused myself for a second thinking it was Bumblefoot's actual guitar and wondering "wtf is that bridge" but it's a ceramic replica, which is honestly even more confusing. Who made this and why?

Anime Reference posted:This is music poo poo that was too stupid to exist rather than actual stupid music poo poo but I've always wondered why between the vinyl revival and the cassette revival nobody seemed to be enough of a hipster to attempt an 8-track revival. I honestly think it'd be kind of a fun gimmick for a stoner band. the cassette revival wasn't really a revival as such because cassettes were always pretty popular in most of the diy scenes that they're used in anyway

I like the part where they said they literally play Metallica music at the barrels to make it better... somehow. I was at least expecting a Jack Daniels-type bottle and but with a Metallica logo on the label. That actually might be cool to stick on a studio shelf or something for decoration. The whole thing is retarded. Still a better business decision than St. Anger though.

I guess the same applies to really dumb poo poo, Metallica probably thought they were innovators in the tone booze game.

I dunno. I feel like you could salvage St. Anger by re-editing the drums to sound less like robot flatulence. Or, y'know, getting Lars to just stick to the business side of things, kinda like with Angela Gossow and Arch Enemy.

Jason newsted should just re-record his tracks and release them so you play it over the album like RiffTrax.

Actuary X posted:Obviously. Obviously. The whiskey itself is a blend of bourbons, ryes and other whiskeys that end up in black brandy barrels during its final stages. From there, a proprietary subwoofer amplifies low notes in the band's recordings to apparently "shape" the flavor. "We are obviously not just slapping a Metallica label on a pre-existing mediocre whiskey," the band said in the statement, citing "several years of work" on "every detail" of the spirit. See, they throw all their spare booze in black barrels -- that didn't exist before.

I was just about to post that, given I just read about Hammett revealing he's been off the booze for quite a few years now. Seems kind of a weird product placement thing to me. Metallica's management has been pretty public recently about making as much money as possible wherever they can and I think that's probably related to the disastrous movie and festival ventures of years past, and this definitely feels like something that's stemming from that sort of "make more money" attitude.

I'm convinced that Metallica's #1 misstep over the last 10-15 years, by far, is that they've used producers who sucked at making them sound good. Say what you want about Metallica's musical direction changes during the 90's but Bob Rock was the best thing that ever happened to the band. Obviously St Anger sounded like dog poo poo but the Black Album, Load, Reload, and Garage Inc. are some of the best sounding Rock records ever produced. By contrast, whoever produced Death Magnetic and Hardwired made the guitars sound harsh and thin, and made Jame's voice way too dry. Sounds like poo poo. Granted, James doesn't write riffs as powerful as he used to, and his voice isn't what it used to be either, but I don't think he's fallen so far that excellent production couldn't make him and the band sound awesome again.

Greg Fidelman and Andrew Scheps. According to Ted Jensen, when he was getting ready to start mastering, the final mixes were already brick-walled to poo poo

Hardwired was a nice surprise because it was their best album in many years, but it's not even in their top 5.

Metallica can do whatever dumb poo poo they want because they wrote Ride the Lightning and no band has come close to those riffs and that energy ever.

Rageaholic Monkey posted:Hardwired was a nice surprise because it was their best album in many years, but it's not even in their top 5. This is pretty accurate. My favorite Metallica product will still forever be the “Some Kind Of Monster” movie. It really showed the dangers of having too much money, and makes you feel sorry for Kirk who seems tired of the enormous egos and drama and just wants to play in a band and noodle on his guitar.
