I like all of Metallica's work..including load/reload. It wasn't metal, but it wasn't all crap either. Some of the songs sucked, but some of them are good. I do agree that they changed after Cliff died, but not all their newer stuff sucks that much. I loved S&M, great combo of metal and symphony..i don't see why everyone hates it.

I won't, and don't listen to metallica. i used napster to download 100% non-metallica music. that's none of their business, but they helped get it shut down anyway. why, pray tell, should i get over that?
i can't imagine that many people were downloading their music anyway
I used napster to get out of stock/unavailable stuff. I bet napster actually inspired more people to buy albums than it did cost bands money. I do think Metallica has the right to earn cash from the songs they record, but I also think Lars is a whiny millionaire bitch as dancehallclasher put it. Whatever, I stopped caring after Justice anyway.
i am still, and will always be a met-fan. Maybe its because their first work i heard was from the black album is why. I mean I love ALL of their work, everything from kill em' all up to present. I don't care if they sued napster, although i am a napster user (500+ songs going strong) i understand them why they did. and they are still talented musicians. Metallica needs a new producer though, at least you could hear Cliff in the early stuff.

i'll have you know that my hair is currently neat and trim (looking for a job!) but it will be back with a vengeance in the fall, don't you worry.
actually metallica started out a three piece band and james wasn't vocals or rhythm guitar but let me remember what he did. oh yeah, it was bass. so doubt him all you want. it'll sound quite alright. i , myself can't wait to here james play.
you should all know that originally, Metallica was a polka group fronted by Blondie and king Diamond. They did all love songs by Disney and had Dave Mustaine as a roadie.
actually you're completely wrong. they were a were a band before they had a band. there was james and lars and they found a front man then they move on to a four piece band with ron mcgovney on bass, james rhythm guitar, john mustaine, and lars. then they were on a bay area record label lp called the megaforce lp. someone please do actual reseach, please. no offense but this is the worst group of people to criticize metallica
They are all on crack. I'm telling you blondie wrote Mechanix, Mcgoverny was the pizza delivery boy and Newsted is King Diamonds dog! You guys smoke too much. The main force behind the band was Joey MacIntire, who felt the pop world needed new heroes.
