..and that "sonar-ping" of a snare is finally "KILLED" as well!!!

Then...maybe, "MAYBE" it might sound halfway decent!

Nope. (probably not)

hahaha, thats pretty cool. its actually not that far-fetched, tho. Madonna's guitar instructor is Monte Pittman (new bassist/ guitarist for Prong), who grew up not far from Dallas, home to Pantera. he also taught my sister bass theory back when she went to his music school...

Me? I just wish we could forget all material by Metallica since about 1992, when the travesty that was called the black album was foisted upon us. As Napalm Death would put it - mass appeal madness. Or maybe cock rock alienation. Yeah, go for the second...

St Anger wasn't exactly a great album but at least they stopped making utter dirge like load, probably the most unlistenable Metallica album ever. The trouble was they had been making stadium (cock) rock for so long they forgot how to make the music that made them so vital to the metal scene in the first place. St Anger is proof of that - at times it's so amateurish if it was any other band it would have been laughed at.

The video doesn't really tell you much. It's almost like one of those movie clips where all the best bits are shown in a 2 or 3 minute advert which gets you thnking it might actually be worth a look, yet when you actually see the film those small good looking clips are padded out with around 90 additional minutes of utter banality.

I think I'll pass judgement when I actually hear a whole track.

--------------------

But they played the setlist underneath and although only one hour of it was on the television yesterday I can tell you that the whole band DID NOT MISS A SINGLE NOTE!!! They were so tight you wouldn't believe it. So I say they do matter and in fact they are the best metalband around. IMO. WHen they played Ride The Lightening a huge weatherfront with thunder and lightening struck our neighbourhood. this was kinda spooky. Too bad I wasn't there but I already had seen them 8 times or so and didn't want to drive 200 km to see them. Ok now you can all go back to whatever you were doing...
