New Metallica Album and Tour Announced

[BBeyer]

How many ways can you arrange thrash songs anyway ? There has to be a limit to the riffs /solos before it gets redundant no ?

I found even Dream Theater redundant after 4 records …

Extremely few bands have more than 4 great records IMHO ….

I found dream theater redundant after four SONGS

I haven't liked DT since the Portnoy breakup, BUT, I recently took a listen to their Distance over Time album and that is a really good set of songs.

Well, arguably their best full length was number 5 (my favorite at least), and I thought numbers 6-8 were pretty good too. After that, meh. The first four records seemed to me to just be them finding their way to the 5th.

You’re the 1st person I’ve heard say that .

I’m not saying I disagree , not one bit .
Just saying …
I just lost interest after Justice …



I think it’s good we all have our own preferences…

Pre-sale start Wednesday. What is source of graphic?

I went to the Met Life stadium website to see what the seating chart would be and it had a link to ticketmaster for tickets. I'm only assuming that these tickets are being sold by the owners of the boxes/suites knowing they can buy the tickets once they go on sale. Kind of a pre-sale for tickets that technically have not yet been sld.

I like the new tune, the double kick sections have a Motörhead vibe

 

[Santino]

Smell the Glove!

It seemed like you were talking about Dream Theater, not Metallica. I also feel Justice was Metallica's apex.

I couldn’t believe they played the entire album start to finish live , wow ..

When I saw them on that tour, Petrucci actually made a noticeable mistake. It was on the easiest acoustic strumming part. The rest of the band seemed very surprised. I know the feeling. I've been driving too fast for too many decades, but the only two collisions that were my fault were when I was driving slow and my brain checked out after a long day at work.
Now I've completed (exacerbated?) your derailment.

Sheeesh! They didn't do a sig snare for the St Anger album, did they?

No, because it was Ludwig.
No smiley here, because it's no joke.

 

[Plaid Sabbath]

The new tune is pretty cool. Getting a “Hit the Lights” vibe from it. Seeing James with that white Flying V makes me smile. 3 minute track, played in standard tuning…pretty cool.

Might not be the glory days of “Master” or “Justice” but considering these guys have been around for 40 years and can still play like that is pretty remarkable.

Wonder if Kirk’s Wah pedal was broken. Didn’t hear it on the new track.

 

[Squirrel Man]

Finally watched this.

Song is great, well done. I have no interest in it though.

 

[Trommeslager]

I is surprized by the reactions of most as when I saw last Metallaca (2019), 90% of crowd was dudes in 50s wearing black Metillaca tshirt. Band play powerful and intenseness. It sold out.

The one on the right looks like me at a gig. Oh wait, that's a different thread.

 

[ppfd]

Meh... Excited to check this tune out later. I grew up on Metallica but they lost me after justice for all.

Saw them on the master of puppets tour, I'm good.

Zero interest in FFDP.

Right here.
I thought the last 2 outings were pretty decent

5 finger never interested me. Are they metal country now? They came through WV with one of those new bro country singers they are splitting the bill with

That band is a construct assembled in a lab somewhere. Hot Topic metal for people with no actual discernible taste in metal.

What do you recommend bands do after they have 4 great albums? I do really want to know.

 

[JY Kelly]

They should just up and quit. Lol
