I can't stand to hear Lars talk! It's like nails on a chalkboard. The fact that this band needed a therapist to continue is the most non-rock thing ever. Metallica jumped the shark about ten years ago.
Yes and yes.
Lars is a little pecker aint he? And he stinks as a drummer so Im not sure what he is so high on himself about.
And, $1mil to join the band...wow
You guys have to hear Jim Breuer do his imitation of Lars. It's the funniest!
BTW, I guess we can argue about what albums sound best of theirs, but as for me, I prefer to actually hear bass, so Bob Rock was a welcome addition.

Don't get me wrong. It's not that there weren't positive things that came from his involvement. I just wasn't satisfied with the overall result. It's an opinion. Judging from sales figures, it's probably in the minority, but I still stand by it. I also prefer St. Anger over the black album, Loads 1 and 2 and the other stuff that came out in that time period, so what do I know?

sorry about this , but i thought st. anger sucked .... but for the most part i think that about load and reload .... i guess i still like the older stuff more ...
As do I. Most people do. My point was more to the fact that I dislike nearly everything done in the 1990's and 2000's than it was to how "good" St. Anger is.

Have you heard Death Magnetic? Their best since Justice.
I agree he's a pecker, but if you think he stinks as a drummer, you're high.
The really sick thing, if you listen to what Lars says at about 4:30 "if Cliff was to walk in here and audition, he wouldn't be the guy either..."
This speaks volumes about how far Metallica has fallen off as a band. Death magnetic is a step in a better direction, but i doubt anything will ever touch how cool the old stuff was...

As much as I dislike Bob Rock ( I really hated to see him acting like a member and saying somthing against Jason coming back.), I disagree to opinions that he's the reason of Metallica fell off in the mid 90s-2003. If they did fell off, James and Lars was the reason. They were too comfortable and dependant on him.
