Just when I thought this was a genuine attempt for the band to let you in and experience the making of the new record….it’s all a marketing ploy. They lure you in with the “Check out the making of..” and then try to hook you into buying merchandise like a heroin dealer giving you a little taste and then offering the full package. Packages range from $24.99 to $124.99. You can also pre-order a cup full or disappointment or as they’re calling it “The new album”. They offer you to buy the cd before you even hear it. Anyone that preorders a Metallica cd these days is either out of their mind or not and old school Metallica fan and actually likes St. Anger. If you like St. Anger…you’re clinically insane. End of story.

I think I may have said while back that I wasn’t going to talk anymore Metallica trash until after the release and review of the new album….I LIED!

From blabbermouth:

Lars Ulrich revealed last week in Los Angeles that the band has all but finished recording its ninth studio effort, with only a few touch-ups to be completed this week before mixing begins. As for what the band’s first CD since 2003’s “St. Anger” sounds like, Ulrich told The Pulse of Radio it’s hard for him to put a finger on it. “It’s METALLICA, that I can tell you,” he said. “My dad was up at the house a couple, three, four weeks ago so I played him a couple, three, four songs and I said, ‘Well?’ And he goes, ‘It sounds like METALLICA.’ And I don’t know if you can define it, I mean we can sit and get into, you know, little definitions about that, but he just looked at me and said, ‘That sounds like METALLICA.’ And that’s pretty cool.”

So…let’s dissect this a bit. Does it sound like NEW Metallica….or OLD Metallica? Does it sound like Master Of Puppets? Or does it sound like Load? Eh, who cares really. We’re going to get the run around, the “this” and “That”, the ‘Nutty’ explanation and the ‘all over the place’ explanation. In fact I’m sure every band member that gets interviewed is probably sick of trying to answer that question. Honestly, I can’t blame them one bit.I’m sick of hearing them try to explain it too. Lars…just tell them:”You’ll foind oat wut it fooking sewnds loyke when it cumes oat”…(you have to read it like Lars would say it)

Metallica went from kick ass to bunny rabbits in a short period of time. Why?…I don’t know, only they can answer that, but the fact of the matter is that I still love the Metallica of yesteryear. Would I pass up free tickets to see them? I really couldn’t honestly answer that right now but I’d give it some thought if that were to happen.

Another point is this. I’m not going to lie. Metallica is a big draw for anything and everything including page hits. If someone types Metallica into a search engine, my site pops up, I get page hits, b5media gets page hits. I’m happy, they’re happy, advertisers are happy. If this didn’t happen I wouldn’t feature them.
