List Ur Favorite Albums of All Time...

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

I am expecting them in Europe next summer again, they love the European Summer Festivals.

[Screaming Eagle]

I hope they come to Australia, hopefully Brisbane

[Heinz]

Melbourne too hopefully


Actually a guitarist on a music forum I'm part of saw the justice tour in 89 when they came to Melbourne. He was in the front row and Hetfield made eye contact with him a few times, also spat beat all over him.

Man that is an ace memory

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

That was the first time I saw them as well.

Looks like I'm in excellent company . . . I never did like hip-hop/rap/whatever they call it now . . . I'm old, but I can still rock . . . here are my top 10 choices:

1. Led Zeppelin - Zoso (or IV)
2. Motley Crue - Shout At The Devil
3. Aerosmith - Toys
4. Metallica - Master
5. Metallica - Black
5. Van Halen - Van Halen
6. Led Zeppelin - Song Remains The Same
7. Peter Frampton - Frampton Comes Alive! (my one concession to "pop" music)
8. Ratt - Out Of The Cellar
9. Megadeth - Cryptic Writings
10. Ozzy Osbourne - Blizzard Of Oz

I didn't know Jason was gone from Metallica; I can still remember the day he joined Metallica back in '86 after he left Flotsam & Jetsam. I remember it was a big deal trying to figure out who James, Kirk & Lars were gonna choose to replace Cliff. I'm originally from the Bay Area, so they're kinda my hometown boys. An ex-girlfriend of mine ran into Kirk at a local recording studio back in '86; she said he was pretty cool.

Unfortunately, I've only seen Metallica once, at a Monsters Of Rock concert in Oakland, CA back in '87, and we had terrible seats (we could only see James from where we were sitting). Maybe next time . . .

Still seeing them in 87 is pretty sweet. 2nd best part of their live career was then just before Damaged Justice tour.

Nice list there.

Yeap he left the band back in 2001. I too am a big Metallica fan. Saw them for the first time back in 1989 and seen them 9 times total and the last time being last summer at Rock im Park festival where they played the whole Master of Puppets album! Was truely amazing.

[102first_hussars]

kinda suprised that those two new songs that popped up on youtube arent gonna be on the new album

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Does not really surprise me. Those were just jam songs.

[102first_hussars]

I kinda liked them, though they were only live version, the one had potential of being a good single

[Heinz]

The first new songs introduction was probably the best riff I;ve heard from them since reload. It was cool but under usesd in that song. It felt full of filler to me. The second was very cool had some punk elements to my ears. The half time break down in the middle was like Kill em All.

Hopefully the album takes some old school elements into account

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

That is what Kirk and Rob have said. They said the new album would sound like a mixture of Master of Puppets and Metallica (The Black Album).

They said James was writing massive rifs, Kirk was going to be doing full solos again and Lars had taken the drums out of the box this time.

I am truely excited about this album.

[Heinz]

As am I!

All said and done they are probably more on their toes than ever before. Maybe the slackness of St Anger will kick their song writing into gear again.

Thats what James said. He said that the last tour where they played the whole master of puppets album lit a fire under there ass.
