Metallica

[Jimbo]

Now I do have a very wide taste in music which has matured as I have grown older. So if I listen to anything here nowadays it is usually something gentle , female singer song writer stuff or laid back jazz, blues or some easy listening light rock.

BUT I used to be a mental heavy metal monster back in the days Sabbath,AC /DC and Zeppelin were in full flight. Occasionally I like to blow my brains out with something a bit more challenging rather than the usual pipe and slippers so this track and this performance by Metallica from their new album had me jumping.

As Howard Stern says at the end WTF was that! Brilliant awesome timing and power from a great band.

Enjoy or maybe not depending on your taste.

I have a couple of their albums from the 1980s but never been that keen and never play them but still listen to a lot of AC/DC and Zep. Just never seems to get old.

Not into the whole 'How fast can you play' thing not even when young and testosterone levels were higher.

Funny that tastes do mellow a bit and do listen to jazz and soul a lot more now but I'm not ready for the breathy songstress stuff yet thank god.

It will come one day and you will find yourself listening to some light entertainment!:lol:

never liked them, although they wre not a 60's, 70's band so maybe that was agin them... and american too i guess.

Master of Puppets is one of the classic albums of all time. Their later material left me rather unmoved I have to say.

The Black album is my favourite closely followed by Justice FA. Been a fan for years.

The Black album is the only one I have. One of the few albums I have which all of us like, though they wouldn't care for the volume it gets played at when I have the house to myself. Really blows the cobwebs off the speakers.

As with all things Metallica they sure know how to charge for vinyl, £40 for the latest album. I suppose it is a double album.

Yeah a few of their albums are double - all £40

Really blows the cobwebs off the speakers.Yeah I do like to blast out Enter Sandman and Nothing Else Matters occasionally. But you can't beat Master of Puppets (the song) and Sanitarium.

[Wakefield Turntables]

All Metallica albums upto the Black album were/are excellent anything after that and they went up their own arses.

I like the Unforgiven, and also Turn the Page - although I prefer the original by Bob Seger

[Pete The Cat]

I've come in and out of them in cycles and often contrary to many fans, eg I don't rate MOP or AJFA but I love Load. Basically I prefer them when they're doing shorter songs and the bass player is in the same room. Lots of trebly 8 minute epics really fatigue me.

I think music would be the poorer without them, they're more than just a band, they've championed a genre across decades and I reckon that deserves some respect.

"Spinning Today..." is usually at the top of the page, so understandable. It's the kind of thing I'd do :doh:
