New Metallica

[twonabomber]

My quick review:

Music good, lyrics dumb.

[Mr. Vengeance]

Get ready for the onslaught of "They haven't done anything good since ...And Justice for All" posts.

[vandeleur]

Fuck this the the last thing good they did was the hit the lights demo

[Nickdfresh]

Or they've never really done anything much good...

[FORD]

Well, at least not since Cliff Burton caught the bus.... the hard way.

[Terry]

I'd have to imagine if you were a Metallica fan you'd be pleased hearing that track.

Solid production, classic Metallica-sounding thrash riffs.

[FORD]

It does sound like a throwback to the original Metallica sound - which they have been trying so hard to avoid since 1991 or so. If the rest of the album was more like this and less like St. Load of Angry Magnetic, I might actually buy it.

[So this is love]

what a load of crap..........Nothing new here...just a money grab

Metallica has always been about the money. Not that that's a bad thing. Why do you think The Stones and The Who still tour? Why would Jimmy Page want to record another Zep album? Why did the last Van Halen tour happen? The musician that does it for the art of it is an endangered species nowadays. Is that a real word? My spell checker thinks it is. I'm not so sure. I thought it was nowdays. Robert Plant might be one of those artistes. He could make a shitload of cash doing a couple Zep shows but he chooses not to.

Has anyone found the lyrics to that song on line yet?

To be fair Metallica haven't always been about the money , when I first saw them on tour with anthrax in 1904 or something I can't think of a less commercial sound.
But they stuck to their guns and didn't follow my career suggestion of getting a good education.

Just a pity what they turned into .... Still as a career move they work less weekends than me and their pension is looking canny

Thank you.
Believe it or not I did search Yahoo yesterday and couldn't find those lyrics. I got links to the video and articles but no lyrics.
"Hardwired"

In the name of desperation
In the name of wretched pain
In the name of all creation
Gone insane

We're so fucked
Shit outta luck
Hardwired to self-destruct

On the way to paranoia
On the crooked borderline
On the way to great destroyer
Doom design

We're so fucked
Shit outta luck
Hardwired to self-destruct

Once upon a planet burning
Once upon a flame
Once upon a fear returning
All in vain

Do you feel that hope is fading?
Do you comprehend?
Do you feel it terminating?
In the end

We're so fucked
Shit outta luck
Hardwired to self-destruct
Hardwired to self-destruct

Self-destruct
Self-destruct
Self-destruct

The reason I was looking for the lyrics was to clarify that one word. It sounded like farked or possibly fart. I wonder if this will get airplay uncensored like Who Are You or will it get censored like Money and that Steve Miller song. Always thought it was ridiculous they censored that Tom Petty song where he says Let's roll another joint too. Funny how attitudes about pot have changed so much in the last decade. I saw a version of Cheech And Chong's Next Movie where they kept substituting diamonds when they refereed to weed.

Amazing they're still alive. Anthrax is some nasty shit if inhaled. Thank God for Louis Pasteur.

That's the thing: if the track is just a one-off, and isn't indicative of the rest of the album, I'd give it a pass.

We're so fucked...

Dumb fucks
Dump trucks

the parody opportunities are endless!

[DLR Bridge]

Those lyrics mar the solid effort of what truly sounds like a classic scorcher. James would have been better off going the Beck route and singing oblique non-sense rather than this juvenile drivel.

Hetfield has always been a potty mouth. He wanted to call their first album Metal Up Your Ass.

Today Metallica have released the second song from new album.
Moth Into Flame

[binnie]

The two new tunes from 'Hardwired To Self-Destruct' are very good indeed. 'Moth Into Flame' is the most focussed Metallica have sounded in a long time - rather than just smashing riff-into-riff-into-riff, they've really worked on dynamcs and composition. This could be a really, really good record.

[Kristy]

Sounds like every other Shitallica album.

[twonabomber]

and again

[twonabomber]

Tour dates. Two nights in each city, weekends, stadiums, and a different set list each night. Multiple opening acts, including Mammoth WVH

[Von Halen]

I like the new song. But I'm not going to go see them in a stadium.

[twonabomber]

A two day ticket is going to cost way more than I'd be willing to pay.

I like the idea of different setlists each night.

[FORD]

[Nitro Express]

Hmmm. I would have to be paid to go. Who gives a rat’s ass?

[Von Halen]

You're not doing the $7,272.00 ticket option?

[FORD]

WTF is this about Pantera opening the shows? How the Hell is there a "Pantera" without Dimebag??

[Nitro Express]

You could have more fun in Vegas for $7,272.00 than at a Metallica show.

[Nitro Express]

That’s like having Van Halen without Eddie. Only Sammy Hagar thinks that sort of thing is possible.

[Silexxx]

and again

Chorus reminds me of this Van Hagar song.
