Bob Rock is such a worthless producer lol

I would work with Steve Albini before I ever worked with Bob Rock; because Albini has at least produced albums I like to listen to. Actually, I would love to work with that dickhead, Blessed Black Wings is intense, Times of Grace is intense.
Bob Rock produced St. Anger lmao

AJFA is a good album, but by all of those points Ride the Lightning is a superior album (also including Cliff)

St Anger is a very important album to me. Metallica was maybe the first band I truly loved when I was young, and St Anger was the moment I realized that a band I loved could make something truly dogshit and without merit.

I like justice but I think puppets and ride the lightning are both far better albums.

Puppets is bangers all the way through, not a single bad track. Lightning is very good but has Escape.

There’s an entire cottage industry of YouTube musicians devoted to either adding bass to AJFA or removing snares from St. Anger

Ride the Lightning is a better finished album because Hetfield and Ulrich didn't gently caress with it and make it bad.

The one that drove that home for me was 10,000 Days; I'd already written Metallica and the thrash bands off at that point.

I will give Metallica credit for commissioning artwork from John Baizley to do the Four Horsemen shirt, cuz he's real good and the cover of Yellow & Green is a masterpiece

March to the Sea is a really good song :/

It's okay if you have any questions.


St. Anger had an interesting sound and I'd love to hear a band with better songwriting skills do something similar.

lol the best part of the Gigantour when I got to see Opeth and Megadeth was the dude who was SO loving STOKED 100,000% FOR OTEP DOUBLE FISTING BEERS and then Opeth started playing stuff from Ghost Reveries and he loving double slammed those beers into the grass and said "THAT'S NOT FUCKIN OTEP" and marched the gently caress out

He had been there in his Otep shirt all loving day, like this was 7PM, dude was furious.

I would be furious, too, if I paid a shitload of money to go see the wrong show and did absolutely no diligence and spent all day getting drunk getting ready to see my favorite band who was decidedly not there.

Lmfao that's amazing.

I've never seen Opeth live but really want too but also the last like 3 albums have been a snooze fest for me.

Although Opeth has my favourite outro of any song ever. The song Burden ends with a classical guitar bit where the guitar slowly gets detuned while playing and it sounds like it's dying slowly, it's brilliant.

Could make that whole situation into a reading is fundamental commercial for metalheads. Don't let this happen to you!

I don't like modern Opeth, everything past Watershed is a no-go for me. I still own a thuluth logo shirt, though.
Morningrise is one of my favorite albums ever and I'm partially convinced he won't play songs from it because dude on bass played a fretless, and it's not just that "the songs are just collections of riffs that aren't fully-formed," it's also because nobody ever gonna jam that bass that hard again.
Because the bass guitar track is loving fundamental to that entire album.

It's actually kind of amazing that he hasn't improved as a drummer at all in >30 years of playing in the biggest metal band in the world.

You don't even need to hear him play to know he sucks though, just look at the way his toms are angled aggressively.

It's like some kind of sick joke that he's allowed to be in the same band as James Hetfield.
