Ok details  from www.Metallica.com on their new EP seems as usual they are relying on putting older classic tracks on it to help boost the sales since they obviously realise that both the fans and they themselves would not touch St.Anger with a barge pole

The package, set for release on July 13, will feature six live Metallica classics as well as two versions of the title-track, one drawn from Metallica's 2003 album St. Anger plus a fully remixed and edited version for this disc by famed producer Bob Rock.  Also included in the package is a limited edition compressed T-shirt in large or extra-large sizes, emblazoned with the film's movie poster art across the chest.  Double extra-large sizes will be available online at metallica.com.  The disc is also available at retail outlets without the T-shirt.

Said Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly of the film, "Epic storytelling...Metallica:  Some Kind of Monster is one of the most revelatory rock portraits ever made."  Details magazine said the film is "An instant and incendiary classic."  Sharon Waxman of the New York Times gushed that the film is, "entertaining, moving and historically significant...(it) chronicles the intimate emotions of the most successful heavy metal band of all time."

The black album was Metallica's sellout album. It ruined them. I cringe when people tell me they love this crap.   I actually think it's worse than Load and Reload.

Their best album, in my opinion, is ...And Justice for All. It has a lot of "filler" songs, but the best songs on this album are simply unbelievable.

One, Metallica's masterpiece, is on this album, and needs no introduction. Everyone loves this song. To Live is to Die is a very moving instrumental, mourning Cliff Burton's death. Blackened is Metallica's best thrash song, in my opinion. It's better than Battery. I love the weird riff at the beginning.

Other notable songs on this album are Dyers Eve, another great thrasher, and Harvester of Sorrow, a good, slow dark song. Overall, it's Metallica's last great album, and their best.

Load is not dark. Justice is dark!

Judging from the tracklist (the exact same live tracks were on the UK 'unnamed feeling' EP) this must be a US only release, then.

This is the official Metallica thread - everything about the world's most past it band goes here.

[coondogg]

I'll be the first one to say it.....fuck Hetfield, he sucks, Metallica sucks too!  

[PeterCoffin]

Every Metallica album has it's songs (Except Load and ReLoad, I love those in their entirety), but for the most part Metallica sucks ass.

[Civil Attitude]

I dont know what the fuck is going through your heads......i love GNR To death .but xome on.there are songs that are shit compared to MOST of Metallicas catalogue.....id liek to know why some of you guys think they suck so much ass.....i dont know mayeb its jsut because im a fan i liek them so much, but seriosuly every album is gr8..excpet for ST Suck Ass......and when i seen them live for the first time in april...it was unreal....they sounded so good and sjut the atmosphere was so great.....please fill me in why they are so horrible

[Bill 213]

Well to tell you what the fuck is going on in my head, Metallica attempted to evolve their music and totally buried their roots.  Their attempt was horrid in my OPINION, considering everything starting with And Justice For All past was basically an attempt to make the almighty dollar.  And then of course the collaborations with Ja Rule and the shitty soundtrack contribution to Mission Impossible.  Then we go to Napster.  Regardless on your views of downloading music and so on, is it really worth suing your loyal fans that have made you millions.  Then we go to St Anger, which could possibly be one of the worst albums of all time.  To put this out and claim that you're doing something innovative and making art is a joke.  I found it funny when Metallica had to hire a tribute band to tour with them because as James said, "we forget how to play some of the old songs."  And as for Lars and James they're quick to put down someone in a second if that person upstages them, such as Axl Rose.  James little reading of Axl's tour rider back in the day was just an example of his ignorance.

[matt88]

James Hetfield is a clumsy idiot. He was jelous of GN'R and they're popularity.

They changed their roots for money and then fucked it up big time. Metallica are 15 years gone. James shut the fuck up u greedy idiot.

[AxlFink]

Civil Attitude might be Lars.   Except I thought Lars knew how to spell.  Maybe it's James.

[Civil Attitude]

     i wish i was lars lol.......no seriously i can understand what you mean by evolving and selling out on what they used to be..but its liek when the black album came out it pissed off their loyal ass fans because it didnt sound like "metallica"...but in an interview i remember listening to james say that for every fan they lsot they gained new ones....and thats kind of the same with st anger..when i was at the concert and they started playing shit from that album..i fuckin sat down lol....and then i looked behind me and saw this kid singing it and pretending to play bass to it.
its sjut you have to change with music to stay relavant and to develop new things...and to say that Guns didnt go through a HUGE change is ridiculous...just watch the WTTJ video......and when its over watch The estranged one....sorry guns fuckin changed a whole hell of a lot to...im not saying i dont liek hwo they changed because fuck after appetite the illusions are my favorite damn albums..

and yeah fuck lars for the whole napster thing....that greedy cocksucker can eat my ass.  All that shit did for me was make me download music and give some bands a big "hey fuck you buddy"

[Civil Attitude]

oh one mroe thing......if you dont change how you sound through the years.......youll sound liek ACDC....i liek them to but taking an hour drive and flipping through the radio and hearing 10 songs that sound the same gets old as fuck to

[PeterCoffin]

St. Anger even has it's songs (Some Kind of Monster, Sweet Amber). I just don't like Metallica. I used to, but I guess I just grew up. At least in that area of my life. Seriously - metal is one of the stupidest genres out there. It's so cliche. The only stuff worse is fake punk/emo/hardcore and everything between metal and those genres.

[John Daniels]

so much hate towards Metallica here..IMO Metallica is one of the best bands in all time. Don't you all start to play the game "uuh, James sayed something bad about Axl...Fuck James and Metallica sucks ass"..that's kind of lame thing to do when we all know that you all like pretty much many Metallica's songs.

[Naupis]

I love GNR, but Metallica is every bit in the same league if not higher than GNR. All one needs to do is look at the attendance numbers of their tours over the last 20 years to see that they sellout almost everywhere they go no matter what. And that is including the continual revolving door at the bass. I would also venture to say their album sales far surpass Gnr(Not sure, but I would be pretty confident making that claim).

Does all the hate stem from the fact they have continued to release albums for the last 20 years and didn't just stop after the black album in 91? Some of their albums have backfired, but that happened when they experimented a little too much. The same would have happened to GNR over that same period of time had they actually released music and not sat in a cave for the better part of 11 years.

[amundsma]

yeah dude! Fuck Metallica! Fuck James and Lars!  You guys are geeks.  Metallica is probably the best metal band of all time.  GN'R isn't the whole world.  Infact they haven't done shit in a decade.  

[AxlFink]

bullshit metallica is in the same league as GnR-  or higher?  thats a fucking joke.  Metallica is a cool band but GnR blows them away in every way.

Lars even knows it.  He's always talking about how great axl is.  

Also....   St. Anger sucks.  It's the worst CD I've ever heard.  They've done nothing good since black album.   Thank god Axl waits to release CD to make sure it doesnt suck.  Metallica should have takin 10 years to make a cd also.  Releasing a cd for the sake of releasing a cd is pointless if its gonna be a piece of shit like the load albums and st anger

[AxlFink]

and whats with james since his rehab?  anyone see the movie?  he's like a homo now
