Well, while they don't play extreme metal anymore, their glory days did revolve around thrash. Although I wouldn't consider thrash metal to be extreme, the general consensus seems to be that it is a form of extreme metal... so oh well.

Melodic and alternative would be even worse options.

Yeah I guess that's true.

Load and ReLoad get too much hate. They're good rock albums. Horrible thrash albums, but great rock albums.

it's not even a proper ROCK album. If you haven't listened to "great rock" albums, surely you gonna love this shit. It's just a plain record to honor Lou, which significantly back-fired on him getting labelled as a worst record ever. I do respect him for what he did for Velvet though.

I like both Load and Reload, heard that songs like Bleeding Me has blue element. i agree that they are not much thrash but i see heavy metal in the music of those two.

What do you mean not Extreme did you ever actually listen to other thrash bands ? Lol I mean if Kreator's pleasure to kill... or Dark Angel's Darkness Descends... or Razor's Violent Restitution... or Skeletonwitch's Breathing The Fire are not extreme then what is... oh wait what about bands like Sodom, Exodus, Vektor, Demolition Hammer, Messiah, Sepultura... If thrash ain't extreme metal then I'm probably a reindeer and gave birth to a walrus. Boy check up your Thrash metal before saying nonsense.

Yeah looking back at that it's really not my brightest moment. Bands like Dark Angel and Kreator are entirely and completely extreme. I was bein a dumb dummy.

Metallica was a beast especially in the the early thrash metal albums. But I kinda lost my interest in their music after a while .I Still listen to their 90's era, though. I just get nostalgic, and that's all.

I hate the human race. Here Metallica comes to Europe and let us, the fans, decide what they should play. At every show. I bought my ticket instantly and I also voted as soon as I got my code for it. I gave it a lot of thought. With the exception of "Master of Puppets", "Ride the Lightning" and "Damage, Inc." I only voted for stuff I myself haven't seen them perform.

But what does the majority of the "fans" vote for? It seems like they went on setlist.fm and looked up what Metallica usually plays live during the last couple of years. I follow the results for the Stockholm show daily and it's certainly not a bad setlist, take away the classic boring Black Album songs and it's a lot of great stuff. But it's a totally ordinary Metallica setlist, which takes away the whole purpose of these shows. There's no need for the people to vote, Metallica already seem to know what the majority wants.

You know what really makes me sad? As I said I follow the results daily. If there's to be a change in the setlist, the three songs closest to getting a spot on it is "Wherever I May Roam", "Whiskey in the Jar" and "The Memory Remains". Fuck me...

Yeah that's a bunch of bullshit man. People don't think it through that they are being given a chance to hear something different. I'm guessing Enter Sandman is in 1st place by a landslide

Bet most "fans" that voted for such thing are clueless about Metallica's discography except for black album, mop and a few songs they always play.
there was something similar with Dimmu Borgir, asking the fans they would play any of their 3 first album entirely. Surprise surprise, EDT (which they already play about half of the album at every damn show) won by a large margin.
I think it's a bad idea to ask the "fans" for their opinion on something. Most always want the same thing, over and over, ad nauseam, specially concerning setlists.

Actually, Sandman is currently at place 7. "Master of Puppets" leads the race by far, 68 % has voted for it. In comparison to second place, "One", which 56 % voted for.

And look at how tedious most Iron Maiden sets are - nearly always the same songs.

Yeah, I can't stand Maiden shows anymore. I've seen them like 6 times and it's mostly the same shit all over again, even though they do tours like "Early Days", "Somewhere Back", "Maiden England"... it's basically the same songs anyway. They even manage to somehow squeese in "Fear of the Dark" in those setlists.

Well still, that shouldn't be anywhere on a setlist where people finally get a chance to hear something different The other two aren't really overly surprising either, IMO they aren't the best songs from their respective albums and Metallica plays them a ton but they will probably be alright.

same shit was for Bolt Trower, they ask vote , because Wacken invite them to play
leither they ansver, we will not play because vote results was 100% and voters were 10 times more then sold out tickets ....

Yeah, but that will not be the case here. You get an entry code to your mail when you've paid for a ticket.

Has anybody haerd theeir new Single? Its Called "Lords of Summer". They just played it live over the weekend. Its pretty thrashy and long. Its good.

Yeah, it seems it is decent. I'll be hearing it live in two weeks, so I'll have a better idea then The song title sounds like a joke, though.

To be honest I wasn't going to give it the time of day until I hear it in the flesh at Knebworth this summer but after seeing a few surprised opinions online I gave in. I gave the song a listen and admittedly is isn't near as bad as I was kinda expecting it to be. A bit unnecessarily long but thats something I have always found with Metallica. It hasn't impressed me a lot either so not going to get too excited before hearing it in studio form.

Lords of summer.. I don't like the title, and the song itself doesn't do anything for me. It was okay, but nothing more than that. Plain and boring. And a little long, considering the fact that nothing really happens. It's like Metallica is trying to be something that they no longer are capable of being.I should mention that I'm one of those boring dudes that thinks Metallica sold out when they made the black album.

Ok people the title is just a working title. I think they are doing the same thing as they did with DM. They are "measuring the puls" of the fans. Even Lars said that this song may not end up on the album at all. Anyway, the song is long, but not prgressive enough for me. Still there are good rifs in it and i am loking forward to hear some more stuff definitely.

Not that great of a song, but very good considering it's only a demo. Look at the mediocre songs they played before DM's release, and that album turned out to be arguably brilliant.

Even though Death Magnetic is clearly better than the turd that's called St. Anger, it's still mediocre at best. While it has decent songs like That Was Just Your Life, Cyanide and The Unforgiven III (crap title though), some of it is just as bad as St. Anger like the second half of The Day that Never Comes.

First part of the song sounds like reinvention of Kill em All. Simple and energic. Second half of Kirk's solo is actually pretty juicy and speeding up the last part is quite refreshing . Though I still wish they went crazy and tried some more technical and impulsive stuff like they did almost 30 years ago.

So some pipsqeauk British indie-rocker (Alex Turner of Arctic Monkeys) has come out saying he's not sure Metallica are suitable to headline at Glastonbury. http://www.nme.com/news/arctic-monkeys/77414

Dude Metallica may well be my Favorite band of all time... those first 4 albums are so catchy, Dynamic, just perfect. The Black album is a masterpiece, I like a few songs off of load and reload, Garage inc is cool cause it Introduced me to a lot of Great bands, Death Magnetic is Excellent minus the Shite overly loud Production, And the Beyond Magnetic ep is just awesome, even Better than DM far as I'm Concerned.

^Fanboy alert.

Written by deadone on 27.05.2014 at 03:14

I can understand his rationale.

I think a festival has to have a vibe and theme. After all I don't want to go to a Metal festival and have Arctic Monkeys headline.

Fair point.

I reckon I'd be less indignant about Turner's remarks if the festival itself hadn't made a habit of occasionally booking headliners from outside its alternative/indie remit in recent years: they've had Beyoncé and Jay-Z headline in the last decade. I guess Iron Maiden or Judas Priest might have been a more obvious/less divisive choice for Glasto's first metal headliners, but its not like they booked Meshuggah or Manowar (amusing a thought as that is).
