I've been kind of broke the last few months, so I was waiting until I had some money for the Deluxe Vinyl set of Hardwired before I really dug my teeth into the whole record. I loved it. I don't think its on par with the first 4, but I think I dig it just as much as the Black Album, which I always considered their last great album.. I don't hear these so called terrible Kirk solo's, they didn't reinvent the wheel or anything, but I thought they all got the job done and served the songs well. Had they kept the album a little tighter, with maybe the best 8 songs like the old days, I think the album would be flawless.

One thing I will say though, listening to the live tracks on the bonus disc, man is James voice SHOT. Okay so this isn't exactly breaking news, but the fact that of all the live shows they play, they decided THESE were the best Metallica had to offer is worrisome.

Metallica doesn't really have anyone in front of them to say, well Band X played until they were all 65, so maybe Metallica can. I think now its just a matter of time until either James voice falls off completly or Lars can't play metal drums anymore. They're all about 53/54. I wouldn't be surprised if they have maybe 1 more album in them and maybe 5 years left as a huge touring act. same goes for Slayer/Megadeth/Anthrax etc. I think were gonna find out sooner than later that speed and thrash metal has an expiration date.

I've been listening to the old albums for the first time in a while (I know them like the back of my hand though). I realized what I'm missing the most on this new record - guitar harmonies. That was such a signature sound for the band. DM still has a bit but this new record has even less. It's probably why I like Moth Into Flame the most since it does have some.

bunkaroo

I made the same observation a little while ago after doing the same thing.

Considering that's easily my favorite track on the album, I'd love to hear the other versions.

Gotta say, the more I listen to this the more I like it. Except for Confusion, ManUNkind and Murder One. Those songs are very much filler material.

Ya know, I guess I just had to go back to their older stuff in full before making that dumb comment about not liking their old stuff.

Master of Puppets is amazing, Ride the lightning is number 2, and kill 'em all was even ahead of its time.

Still not a huge fan of ...And Justice for All but definitely not a bad album.

As part of some Citibank concert series, Metallica is playing the Hollywood Palladium next month after the Grammys.

And my buddy just scored us tickets. I am beyond excited to see Metallica again, especially in such an intimate, venerable venue.

VHS?

Man. Are there any issues with Kirk that people dont know about? His playing is getting bad.
It sounds OK one moment then it just goes to shit. I know guys like the change shit up when playing live but this is just getting ugly.

gerrythedon

my brother got us tickets

hope it's not cancelled

islandclaws

Well, if they go through with the Grammy performance then I'd say it's a sure bet this'll go down, too.

Barth

They have become the new generation KISS. $$$$$

Hazel Motes

How so? Just by virtue of the fact that they are successful?

DVD Josh

It's interesting you say this. I was listening to the live bonus disc on hardwired and I was shocked at how bad the lead playing by Kirk was. I mean, just awful. Hard to believe this is the same guy who just tore the shit out of their early work.

GuessWho

Rumor has it Monday announces the next tour, with Avenged Sevenfold as opener

Josh-da-man

I suppose they'll have no general admission tickets.

Why So Blu?

They're playing the Rosebowl in late July.
