Leave a comment

Blabbermouth is exclusively reporting that several copies of the new Metallica CD has already been sold to a French record store. Blabbermouth also shows pictures of the CD cover of the new album before it’s out.

Check ’em out here:

However, Lars says he and the band have no problem with the album getting stolen and leaked. They seem to be happy that the new album is already quickly spreading around and they seem good about the promotion. Pretty funny considering that this is coming from a band who started a Napster battle years ago.

I’m sure the album will get leaked online very soon. According to Metallica’s website, they seemed to have a change of heart with leaked music on the internet, that’s why Metallica put up posts saying “Leak Central”.

Good for Metallica for not being angry about it! Yeah!

I’m usually never all that proud and happy toward bands, but with Metallica, I am extremely happy and proud for the direction that the band is going.

So far, I’m been fuckin’ blown away and impressed by their new songs. This is definitely the best the band has ever done in years.

Congratulations James, Kirk, Lars, and Rob. You guys worked hard to get the respect you want back and I think you’ll get the respect back. Everytime I listen to their new shit, puts a smile on my face seriously, the band have improved.

Welcome back, the true Metallica!!!!!!!

Thought: Will Metallica’s “Death Magnetic” silence the nay sayers?

Leave a comment

Ever since the band Metallica’s new direction in their sound since Load/Reload/St. Anger, people have been hating on the band ever since. Although Metallica gets a lot of haters and people bashing the band, I think the never ending negativity toward the band is getting extremely old.

I am predicting that once “Death Magnetic” is released September 12th, I think that album will finally give Metallica the respect they deserve.

I’ve heard the two new Metallica songs from the album “The Day That Never Comes” and “My Apocalypse”, and both songs are very well done. It sounds like Metallica again.

But I wouldn’t badily judge their new stuff until the whole album comes out. I think this could possibly be the band’s best album since the Black album. I just wish the haters would catch the band a break and just wait for the album to come out and then they can bash the band all they want. That’s the thing, you know, I don’t think people will bash the band anymore after the album is released because this will be the Metallica album that people have been dreaming of for a long time.

The band is releasing songs off the album early on their website because they want feedback from the public and so far the feedback of their new stuff have been really positive feedback. Definitely a big step from “St. Anger”.

Metallica will be big again like they were in the 80’s and early 90’s. “Master of Puppets” will always be the band’s best album ever made but if lucky enough “Death Magnetic” can be right behind it. The album “Death Magnetic” comes out in two weeks and I’ll be buying it for sure. I will review the album of course.

Report: Lars Ulrich interview…Metallica drummer speaks on cocaine use, Dave Mustaine, negative fan reviews on “St. Anger”, and more…

Leave a comment

There is an interesting interview with Lars Ulrich at The Quietus website where Lars talks about a variety of topics. He speaks how Noel Gallagher from Oasis inspired Lars to get off cocaine.

He is still talking about Dave Mustaine of Megadeth to the media when Dave was fired from Metallica 24 years ago. Lars says that he and the rest of Metallica aren’t friends with Dave, Lars says he won’t telll Dave to back off and move on because he isn’t that kind of guy, Lars still has respect for Dave as a person and as a musician. Lars respects Dave’s work with Megadeth as Lars is a fan of Megadeth as well. Lars says that he is flattered that Dave Mustaine still loves Metallica to this day. Although they respect each other musically, they never got along personally.

More on it here:

I’ve always thought Megadeth was much better than Metallica anyways.

Will Dave and Metallica ever bury the hatchet and become friends in the future? It could be possible but I doubt it will ever happen. I’d love to one day see Metallica and Megadeth tour together but I don’t ever see Dave asking Metallica to play for Gigantour. They once shared the stage for Woodstock ’99 and that’s probably the only time you’ll see them share the stage.

I don’t think they should move on and stop thinking about the past. Mustaine is just trying to get answers on why Metallica kicked him out, and Metallica continues to refuse to admit the truth to the public. It’s no wonder Dave is still bothering Metallica because the band continues to act like assholes to him.

I won’t be around to hear it tomorrow, I’ll be on the plane to San Diego.

But who knows, I’ll probably hear the song riding in the car later in the week in San Diego when I’m out doing fun stuff.

I’m sure I’ll probably wind up hearing it at some point soon.

Report: James Hetfield to Metallica haters, “Get the hell off of my property, you stupid kids!!!!!”….

Leave a comment

With the look of James Hetfield’s face in the pic above, I’m sure that’s what he looked liked when he found out that his new home in California have been vandalized by locals.

James Hetfield the Metallica frontman bought new land in 1999 so he can build a huge home, studio, etc. in the Marin Hills of Marin County in Cali. The property used to be a popular biking and hiking trail where a lot of people like to go through. Hetfield boarded up the home with a huge electric barbed wire fence that almost looks like a prison fence. It was Hetfield’s way of keeping bikers and hikers off his property while the metal rocker is not there. James Hetfield angered locals who loved to use that trail but they can’t since Hetfield now owns the property.

The property had been vandalized with the words “SHAME DISGRACE” written on the fence. Hetfield has been nice to the local people before by donating 400 acres of the land to the locals to use some of the trails.

James Hetfield himself has not yet responded to this controversy.

Blech, the local people had nothing to complain about. They are just probably a bunch of Metallica haters trying to get the band out of their peaceful town. It’s Hetfield’s property, if he owns it, he has the right to do what he wants with it. Get over it people!
