    I'll always credit Metallica for being one of the bands that got me into metal and guitar. I completely agree here, especially with the Kirk comments. I love the guy, and he's clearly a big part of their sound, but I can't listen to pentatonics and wah abuse for 77 minutes.

    On a serious note: their three iconic first albums were due mainly to the writing of Dave Mustaine on the first album; and the music theory & arranging knowledge of Cliff Burton on Ride The Lightning and Master of Puppets. James & Kirk's riff writing is limited and simplistic at best, as evidenced by everything they've released since 1986.

      @@oskar7string that's because Cliff had a part in writing many of those songs before he passed. That's not James & Kirk. And Justice was released in 1988 btw.

    I think you make alot of thought out points on this episode. I totally agree with you. Metallica was one of the bands that got me into metal in the 80's as well. Some of the new stuff sounds like they attempted to write material they once would have but it lacks the vibe and energy they once had. You also might be on to something with that rushed to get an album released idea.

    • @louistorres
      @louistorres  Год назад +1

      Yes! I'm 100% with you! Those albums made metal popular and created tons of different genres afterwards. After Justice, I got more into Death, Sepultura, Merauder, etc. Bands that I think left Metallica sounding like they were stuck.

    You are absolutely right about Metallica. we all picked up our guitars and wanted to be them in the late 80's early 90's they were great. the new album sounds a little rushed what happened to the metal sound they had in the first four albums ? that is Metallica. there are 3 bands that always stayed true to their music. SLAYER PANTERA AND JUDAS PRIEST.

    It's not all kirk either. They were done (for me, I'm 49....) after Justice, in my opinion.
    I, of course, listened to the black album because how could you not back then? It was EVERYWHERE. It was crazy how big that album was for them.

    Death Magnetic was the last Metallica record I finished, I think I listened to it maybe four or five times. I never finished Hardwired to self destruct. 72 Seasons I didn't even bother to listen to after hearing Lux Æterna once.
    I think Slayer made the decision wich Metallica had to do a long time ago and retire.
    I was a BIG fan, I even like the Load album, it's a good record but should never have been released as an Metallica record. I think a release as a side project would have been better.
    I think St. Anger and especially the Some kind of Monster documentation killed the band for me.

    I didn't care for it, I just thought a lot of it was plodding. The first track was pretty good & Kirk's lead was too but then it went downhill from there. As far as Kirk in general, he has used all those modes on previous albums. He just seems fresh out of ideas, his leads on the last few albums hasn't been great.
