They're Back!!

[Colm]

It's official, Metallica are back and with a decent album believe it or not, you'd almost forgive them for the last ten years.

I'm dustng down the Hi-Tec runnerboots, the skinny black jeans and the bullet belt as we speak....

[Morgan]

I think they've moved away from the bullet belts a bit...

Well, as long as they don't appear on stage dressed like 'uncle James' there...


As a long-term metalhead (since dark ages of 1980's, huh), not very fond of the last few records, I am quite amazed how well the new material rocks \m/

thats actually a bag full of the latest kerry king/armani autumn collection " strictly studs & leather"

[rst]

Yeah probably ...but how to be rad these days when all the high-street names and copy-cats have taken everything from camo colours to studs :[

[Colm]

ain't that the truth, I remember ya used to be able to pick up second hand combats in army bargains for less than a fiver and they'd throw the blood stains in for free, but now "Toby and Ridian" get mother to pick up a pair of "Desoignor" cargo pants in "BT".... Jaysus it's all gone horribly wrong....

nice one rockers, per my post on epic site:


...it's not half bad you know, it's actually quite good, no dust bin drums this time around - proper production - I see Rick Rubin produced it - nice move, Bob Rock was a bit of a gaylord even though he had a deadly name...


much better than the tripe they've been pumping out the past 10 years or so, feck no, it's been 20 years since the Justice album, feck, 20 years, am I that old... I remember that gig with the falling statues like it was only....


yeah, anyway, it's worth the few euro I paid those sneaky Russians over at gomusic.ru for, some great guitar and drum work on a lot of the songs, chugga-chug-chugg riffing with that double-bass drum kick - nice

"Toby and Ridian"

deadly for a beating that is.....
