Definitely something different to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

\/\/illy Posted September 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 Incidentally, it would appear that they are playing the next night in London at the John Labatt Centre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 Call them sellouts or whatever They were called sell-outs by some of their long-time hardcore fans with the direction and subsequent commercial success of the Bob Rock produced " Metallica " album ( along with the next couple of releases ), but their latest CD, " St. Anger ", is anything but a sell-out. Speed and thrash metal doesn't usually sell, but this album did sell well. I don't like it, but I certainly respect the musical direction they chose to explore this time out.

backbacon Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 I saw them back in '92 IIRC and I couldn't move my neck for three days. For real. I have a more ergonomic head-banging method (more of an arc at the top and bottom instead of just the old cliff burton style) now though so I know I could handle it, even with my aging bones.

NewRider Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 If you keep talking about them on the internet like this you'll be hearing from their lawyers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretman Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 holy sh!t, I already bought a ticket to go see them at the ACC on Oct.6th, did'nt realize they were coming to Hamilton and London and their both way closer to me, they are also smaller venues, with better sound!! (I hate the ACC).....dagnabbit!! Oh well, I wasn't even planing on goin in the first place, I've seen Metallica 6 times back in the early 90's("And Justice for all", and "The Black Album") but then i ran into some freinds that i don't get too party with very often anymore and they said they had an extra, if I wanted to go, so as usual I said "A Concert?...sure I'll go!! When is it?" Oh well....it'll be a good party, I havnt seem them live in about 8 years either.... On a side note, St. Anger is a pretty good album, it's alot better than the last few they've done, but damn there's no guitar solos, c'mon Kirk(Hammett)....WTF?

St. Anger is in the tradition of speed-metal, thus no solos. At least Kirk gave the wah-wah pedal a break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretman Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 Idunno...all the speed metal I listened to had tonnes of guitar solos ie. Testament, Megadeth, Anthrax, Exodus, Death Angel, Annihilator, Pantera, Seputura, Slayer etc. Is that Speed Metal or Thrash??...I always thought they were the same thing.. I agree about the wah pedal by the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 I remember James talking about St. Anger and how it embodies a certain style and genre of metal. I thought it was speed, but I'm wrong. Anyway, Kirk and James purposely wanted no solos. The album cetainly flies in the face of sh!t-ass nu-metal.

Esau Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 Metallica rocks. 'Specially live. Agreed.Although the last show I saw was in 94 with Danzig & Suicidal Tendencies in Barrie and I thought they kicked ass,then again if compared to the '86 show I saw at Maple Leaf gardens then it wasn't so hot. I doubt I'll go to this one as I'm pretty much lost my flavour for em,but I'm sure it will be a great show,who knows when the day comes if I have any dollars to spare after three nights of Slip maybe I will go. Count me in for a "maybe" on this roll call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamH Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 after three nights of Slip maybe I will go Man Esau that takes serious guts to pull off. I don't know that I could survive that kind of a transition. If yer in Montreal look forward to meeting you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esau Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 I'll be there,looking forward to it myself ahess and I just realized that the Slip shows are 2 weeks prior,so I guess it wouldn't be to hard to pull off.I was thinking the three night run was the 21-23 for some reason. Still,I'm a maybe on this roll call,to early to tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretman Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 Agreed.Although the last show I saw was in 94 with Danzig & Suicidal Tendencies in Barrie and I thought they kicked ass Hey Esau, I was at that show too, was that really 10 years ago?
