Those guys became too soft over the years.
Robert is pretty solid on bass...i saw them with them Newstead and Robert and both kicked ass...i wasnt fortunate enough to see em with Cliff BurtonLet Hammett rip on the guitar with drums and bass as support and the lyrics don’t even matter. I do like the tempo of it, see if it carries through on the album.
I really like HardwiredI lost interest after Reload/Garage Days/S&M.
Saw a response from their IG account they will not be doing other headlining tours and MIGHT perform at a festival/show here and thereI really like Hardwired
Also snagged my presale code, gonna try and snag some for St Louis. I have a feeling since half the dates are 2024 that they will be doing other single/traditional tour dates in between.
Some of the heavy bands many of us grew up with need to bow out gracefully rather than never-ending tour after tour. Maybe not so much Metallica (though they became civilized) but bands like KISS, Motley Crew, etc.., need to learn when to say when.
Where's the thrash? They sound like dad rock now.
Never considered in the big 4 thrash bands, but imo Testament is the king of thrash, putting out some of their best thrash in recent years:
Yep, I can remember that too.As someone who remembers when Ride the Lightning was the new Metallica album, I'd like to believe they can recapture the magic, but the chances are slim. My first concert was Metallica with Burton opening for Ozzy. It was pretty surreal as we lined up to go into the Cow Palace. On one side was a special area where us 14 year olds could finish our bottle of Jack before entering the venue, and on the other were the Christian Coalition telling us all we were going to hell. Cops were standing there watching everything. Good times.
