  • Опубликовано: 1 мар 2023
  • ‪@metallica‬ is an American heavy metal band. The band was formed in 1981 in Los Angeles by vocalist/guitarist James Hetfield and drummer Lars Ulrich and has been based in San Francisco for most of its career. The band's fast tempos, instrumentals and aggressive musicianship made them one of the founding "big four" bands of thrash metal, alongside Megadeth, Anthrax and Slayer. Metallica's current lineup comprises founding members and primary songwriters Hetfield and Ulrich, longtime lead guitarist Kirk Hammett and bassist Robert Trujillo. Guitarist Dave Mustaine (who formed Megadeth after being fired from the band) and bassists Ron McGovney, Cliff Burton and Jason Newsted are former members of the band.

    Thinking about how long they have been doing this, this is simply just remarkable. Absolutely love it. I remember being a young teenager, listening to them on a cassette in a boombox, sitting with my best friend and trying to figure out the riffs on a guitar. No RUclips, no guitar teacher, just sitting and trying to replicate James and Kirk and being confused, dumbfounded and inspired.

    Tell me what you want, but when James comes up with a riff, is always something legendary that sticks to your ears, no matter how intricated or simple. Combined with his voice is what keeps Metallica alive owning charts, stadiums, sales and world media. MetalGod!!

      Sorry to interrupt your delusions but the song is preety shitty objectively, and lacks the qualities of a good metal song. It is how it is tbh, your favourite band can write a bad song, you do not have to praise everything they do. The song has literally nothing interesting to offer and it's sad but true. I feel like some people actually force themselves to liking it.

  • @TomMcMahonMUSIC
    @TomMcMahonMUSIC Год назад +1

    This song is really solid and Metallica doing what they do best. Lars mixing it up really helps keep the mid tempo interesting too. James and Rob are top notch as usual, and the vocals fit the music perfectly.
    As for the solo, Kirk plays cool licks but Bob Rock helped him arrange/construct solos for years. The studio clips show that. Without a maestro Kirk kind of strings together random licks every so many bars. It’s alright but could’ve made the song even better with something more crafted like Fuel.
    All in all though they’ve written a memorable, grooving song here and I’m happy to see them still doing their thing and doing it well. Cheers.

    Not only does Metallica have to compete with their own legacy with each and every release but they are held to such a ridiculous standard.
    Loved Lux Aeterna but was not a fan of Screaming Suicide, but absolutely loved this one.
    One of the complaints is it's too long and repetitive. Holy f*** imagine if AJFA was released now the crap that would get thrown at them lol They simply cannot win with some people.
    Now, that being said, I'm still not being blown away by Kirk's solo's. It's not that I'm asking for 80's Kirk, 90's Kirk. Heck, even Death Magnetic Kirk was badass. But since Hardwired and so far what i've heard from this album I'm still waiting for Kirk to deliver. There were bits and pieces from this solo that were good, especially near the end, but overall the bendy, sustained wah-notes are becoming too repetitive in all his solos now.
    Hopefully we get one more single release before the album drops but if not then just gonna have to wait for 4/12

    As a lifetime Metallica fan, I am grateful for new music though I do feel it's a couple degrees better than Load. The singles they have released so far has all the Metallica bare bones, missing the great interludes, transitions, unforgettable solos and outros. It's almost like they got one or two riffs and put them in a loop and duck taped it together with an improvised solo. Still I will listen to this album more than I would listen to Load.

    I don't get how anybody with working ears can LOVE these songs..when i'm listening to them I feel let down honestly.. Nothing about them is even close to what they did on Hardwired even..
    So far this new album is gonna make Hardwired look 10x better (I like a lot of Hardwired)
    Kirk should just leave the band or start doing ANYTHING remotely considered listenable..anybody who has ever touched a guitar or knows anything about music should realize how insanely dumb his solos are, he keeps using the same scale, same notes, same licks, same everything.. it has no structure or should I say, very random structure with no real meaning...
    James' voice is good and I love him for still putting in the effort (His lyrics though...very amateur and cringe worthy. The theme of the lyrics is great, but the writing is not.)
    Only good things remaining in this band are Rob's bass and James' voice..
    Only good signs from these songs are that James is showing that he still has some vocal creativity and I hope for a better future for them
    And beware, this is coming from a lifelong Metallica ultra fan..
    (I will say though that this is the best out of the 3 released so far)

    This 🎉song was the laziest written song they have ever done. The Rhythm is taken from parts of earlier songs. The lead is a part of song from the last album. There are no real verses in the entire song. It’s all bridge style and chorus, then it repeats over and over and over. Extremely boring poor written song. I’m sick of people kissing their ass just because they are a legendary band. Don’t get me wrong. I absolutely love these guys but this is bad. I have a signed friend that met James back stage with other artist. He was joking that they could crap in a box and it would go platinum. C’mon guys try a little bit. I blame the people that surround them that didn’t be completely honest with them. You guys need to open your ears. This entire song was just previously regurgitated partial riffs.
