Billiumss Posted September 27, 2004 Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 I went and saw them, pretty good show. Godsmack had a better sound to them though, Metallica sounded off key. I was 6 rows back and had awesome seats. I even got a guitar pick from Kirk... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CobraKevin Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 Metallica, based on talent alone, is probably one of the best bands ever. But talent doesn't mean you make good music (yes, everyone has different tastes as far as what would be considered good music). I, for one, prefer the vocal aspect of music. And while James isn't a bad singer at all, he's far from the best. My favorite bands are the ones with the best singers. Hoobastank, Linkin Park, Shinedown, Ra, etc. are, imo, FAR better to listen to because their singers blow James out of the water. The one major thing I don't like about Metallica from a musical perspective how EVERY song of theirs is drawn out way too damn long. 90% of the songs I've heard (which isn't a whole lot, but enough) have an intro that's over a minute long before one single word is spoken/sung. That's terrible. Solos, while many of them are cool and hard to do, just turn a 4 minute song into a 7 minute song. Their talent is amazing, but how they use it isn't. My $.02.

CobraKevin Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 Originally posted by Republicant: HAHAHAHAHA. Apparently you missed the VMA's.... Apparently. Doesn't really matter, though. Everyone has their off days. Their CD is awesome, first CD I've been able to like every song on. And why would you feel bad for me, Alex? Show me ANY Metallica song where James comes anywhere NEAR close to the vocals in "Simple Man", "45", or "Fly From The Inside" and you'll make me a Metallica fan.
