Metallica, the old stuff, is fairly good. Of course, now it is a fail as big as a planet.
What he said. One of the classic cases of band modernization gone wrong. Meanwhile, a hunt for the Yogo's theme continues. I vehemently disagree. Death Magnetic is excellent. |

I like Metallica. I don't like most of the new stuff, but some is okay. I'm just saying that Korpiklaani's concert had much more heart in it. There were people crying (that was a bit disturbing, but those were fans that never thought to see them live). They didn't use any pyrotechnics, but they didn't need them. And well, Rammstein simply gives the best shows out there. Every song is a play of its own.

Rammstein are just *incredible* performers. Their stage-show is something that must be seen once in your lifetime. I for one agree that old Metallica is the best Metallica. I haven't touched them since the horror that was St.Anger. *shudders* One of my favorites from them is the Symphony-album, but I have always been a fan of combining metal with traditional instruments. Also, I dedicate this to our Yogo, the little Judas he is.  |

I wish Dragonforce was as good live as they are in studio.  |

*Disagrees with your disagreement.* ^.^;; I admit that this is better than St.Anger, but I still think that Black Album / ...And Justice for all are superior. *bows* *blows a kiss to Yasuki's direction.* Thank you ^.^ |

St. Anger is very raw and primal, with riffs dirtier than thrash consensus. It's not my favourite, but some parts of it are decent.
The ones you pointed out are actually middle productions, with Newsted. They are in the softest, country-like feel Metallica has produced. If you compare the most recent Death Magnetic to what Metallica recorded with Burton back in old days, it shows correspondence.
My personal favourite is the Ride the Lighting-Master of Puppets phase, but I dig many later pieces too.

Only thing I liked of deathmetalic was all nightmare long. The problem with most metallica stuff is that it sounds the same.

A problem I feel that Metallica often have had is lyric-writing.
Apart from some master-pieces (like Master of Puppets to name one of their best songs all over), many of their lyrics, imho, seem to lack a coherent rythm and flow, which often makes it sound a bit forced, stressed, or just clumsy.
Of course, I completely understand that people like Metallica. I liked them myself when I first discovered metal, but I feel I've grown out of it.

Back to the original point, I find it so much easier finding stuff for other people, mine on the other hand, gah! Think I found something. Machine Supremacy - Shinigami |

Listening to Tanita Tikaram - Twist in my Sobriety
But for now I've chosen instrumental version of Fade to Black as my theme music, by Finnish violoncelloists.

Mind wandered to Snow Cherries from France, by Tori Amos. Now playing.

I'll just partially spoof the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air theme song for Asahi.
Now, this is a story all about how
My life got flipped-turned upside down
And I'd like to take a minute
Just sit right there
I'll tell you how I became an Imperial Legionnaire
In Dragon lands born and raised
On the mountainside was where I spent most of my days
Chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool
And all staring in my reflective pool
I might finish it... Later?
