ya I got no real problem with black other than nothing else matters and unforgiven dont belong on it.
Im not going to be a poser and say I hate metallica now. Got no real problem with metallica today though I do enjoy their older stuff better. I dont believe they sold out. Look man, these guys are getting older. Their taste in music changes just like the best of us. They wanted to do something different. big deal.
Life it seems, will fade away
Drifting further every day
Getting lost within myself
Nothing matters no one else
I have lost the will to live
Simply nothing more to give
There is nothing more for me
Need the end to set me free
Things are not what they used to be
Missing one inside of me
Deathly lost, this cant be real
Cannot stand this hell I feel
Emptiness is filling me
To the point of agony
Growing darkness taking dawn
I was me, but now he's gone
Fade to Black
That one always gets me...
Or how 'bout for our religious cult friends...
Spineless from the start, sucked into the part,
Circus comes to town, you play the lead clown,
Please, Please,
Spreading his disease, living by his story,
Knees, Knees,
Falling to you knees, suffer by his glory,
You will
Time for lust, time for lie,
Time to kiss your life goodbye,
Send me money, send me green,
Heaven you will meet,
Make a contribution,
And you'll get a better seat,
Bow to the Leper Messiah
Marvel at his tricks, need your Sunday fix,
Blind devotion came, rotting your brain,
Chain, Chain,
Join the endless chain, taken by his glamour,
Fame, Fame,
Infection is the game, stinking drunk with power,
We see
Time for lust, time for lie,
Time to kiss your life goodbye,
Send me money, send me green,
Heaven you will meet,
Make a contribution,
And you'll get a better seat,
Bow to the Leper Messiah
Witchery, weakening,
Sees the sheep are gathering,
Set the trap, hypnotize,
Now you follow
Leper Messiah
I dont believe they sold out. Look man, these guys are getting older.
I am sorry but James Hatfield was quoted saying.
7/20/07, 9:07 am EST
Metallica frontman James Hetfield says he now regards 2003’s St. Anger as “more of a statement than Metallica music that [the band enjoys] playing live,” adding, “It was more of a purge, just getting that shit out of me, as a catalyst for the next chapter of Metallica.” So we can assume the making of the group’s forthcoming LP is totally different? Definitely. “With St. Anger, it became so open-minded that it became unfocused. This time around, there’s a lot of ‘Sorry, it’s not good enough.’ We’re aiming for excellence.” Drummer Lars Ulrich expressed similar sentiments recently when discussing the new record’s sound. The album is expected to drop early next year.
So can you say sell outs.
Ok 5go,
First that is not the definition of selling out. That is the definition of 'not the best we could have done'. Selling out would be if they did a backstreet boys style album just to make money because it was popular.
Second, if the article you posted constitutes selling out, then every artist there ever was sold out.
My husband likes Pre-Black Metallica. I like Post.
What I find most interesting is my JW- (Now Elder) Son Turned me on to Metallica a few years ago. I still hold hope he'll begin to think for himself again some day.
My hubby especially likes Master of Puppets.
"And Jutice For All" was the last good album.....
and for those of us raised in.... "Dyers Eve"...
Dear Mother, Dear Father,
What is this hell you have put me through,
Believer, Deceiver,
Day in day out live my life through you,
Pushed onto me what's wrong or right,
Hidden from this thing that they call life
Dear Mother, Dear Father,
Every thought I'd think you'd disapprove,
Curator, Dictator,
Always censoring my every move,
Children are seen but are not heard,
Tear out everything inspired
Innocence,
Torn from me without your shelter,
Barred reality,
I'm living blindly
Dear Mother, Dear Father,
Time has frozen still what's left to be,
Hear Nothing, Say Nothing,
Cannot face the fact I think for me,
No guarantee, it's life as is,
But damn you for not giving me my chance
Dear Mother, Dear Father,
You've clipped my wings before I learned to fly,
Unspoiled, Unspoken,
I've out grown that fucking lullaby,
Same thing I've always heard from you,
Do as I say not as I do
Innocence,
Torn from me without your shelter,
Barred reality,
I'm living blindly
I'm in hell without you,
Cannot cope without you two,
Shocked at the world that I see,
Innocent victim please rescue me
Dear Mother, Dear Father,
Hidden in this world you've made for me,
I'm Seething, I'm Bleeding,
Ripping wounds in me that never heal,
Undying spite I feel for you,
Living out this hell you always knew

Ok, Three words to rebut your argument : Load and ReLoad
Before Black the Album ----->Load is the sixth album by Americanheavy metal band Metallica, released in June 1996.
The album marked the band's return to the musical landscape, approximately five years after the release of their international smash success Metallica (commonly referred to as The Black Album). Load saw the band embrace a collective sound and identity far removed from their thrash metal roots. As with previous releases, the fourteen songs that would eventually comprise the album began as rough demos created by principal songwriters James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich in Ulrich's basement recording studio, "The Dungeon." The band took over 30 demos into The Plant Studios in the spring of 1995 where they would work for approximately the next year. Once again, Metallica teamed up with famed producer Bob Rock, who had been at the helm during the recording process for Metallica.
The songwriting dispenses almost entirely with the thrash metal style that characterized the band's sound in the 1980s. In place of staccato riffs, Hetfield and lead guitarist Kirk Hammet experimented with more blues based tones and styles. Additionally, Ulrich adopted a minimalist approach to his drum recording, abandoning the speed and complex double bass patterns of previous albums. Hetfield displayed a lyrical evolution as well, writing what many feel to be his most personal and introspective lyrics. "Until it Sleeps", the album's lead single, addressed his father's losing battle with cancer, while "Mama Said" explored his relationship with his mother. All of this marked a departure from the political and social overtones of albums like ...And Justice for All and Master of Puppets.
You rebutted nothing 5go. You posted some pics and 10 worlds of your own not includding definate articles.
Music and styles change. Artists own tastes change. Change is the way of life.
Ya Im sure they sold out...The Whiskey in the Jar cover was marketed to 16th century Irishmen... huh? Big money maker there.
