also prove Metallica has any track better than one by Spineshank

That was easy.

I asked myself, "Self, what is Spineshank?" I went to the Youtubes and found these:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NbkxcNjH9w

The first video made me wonder, where have I heard this before, angry young boys trying to sound tough? Then I heard the second video and thought, "Aha! This is a louder version of Linkin Park, which also sucks."

To answer your question, the entirety of Metallica's Ride the Lightning is better than at least these two pieces of crap by Spineshank. And yes, that includes the song Escape, by far the worst song on RtL.

Jeez, count the number of times the word "I" is used in both of these Spineshank songs - that's navel-gazing crap, that's not metal. Where are the themes of war, death, pestilence and horror that makes metal, metal?

------------

That being said, anything Metallica made after the black album is crap, and their best stuff ended at ..And Justice for All, which still had some residual Cliff Burton influence on it.

I will always love the first 3 metallica albums. But after that, the angst was gone. Now its just old dudes trying hard to be angry. Its over metallica.

Hardwire with classic tones: (someone replayed the guitar and bass + programmed drums and made them sound like the first 5 albums)

Yeah, wtf happened to the tones? They were great up until and including the black album, and deteriorated gradually ever since.

I dunno who to blame so I'm just gonna blame it on Lars.

Haven't heard yet but willing to bet the programmed drums sound better than the original.

Lars is literally one of the most hated drummers in existence. Because he is a douche. I wish I could punch him.

This is literally the second post of yours i read today that I have to agree with. Never thought I'd say that. Anyway Lars is a douche, I think we all agree on that (including himself).

But most of all, he's an absolutely terrible drummer. I don't know how much of actual songwriting he does / did. Maybe he actually is a good song writer, and/or drum composer, but as far as performing heavy metal on a drum set, it's painful to watch as far as I'm concerned.

But let's not mix songwriting and performing.

James was a terrible singer up until a few years ago when he obviously started taking singing lessons. Early 2000s? Something like that. Before that, he literally couldn't sing shit live.

Kirk was and still is, IMHO, a pretty average guitar player. Remove the wah pedal and there's nothing there. Live, he only gets by through the choruses with a massive use of wah, and the fact that the amps are so loud that noone can actually hear distinct notes. I'm not even sure he knows what is a major 7th chord or what intonation is.

Robert obviously is a real musician but for understandable reasons is out of the scope of this post.

YET, while being pretty amateur musicians at best, these fine folks managed to compose some of the best songs of the heavy metal repertoire of the 80s and the 90s, influenced half the world, and became superstars.


Anyway, yeah. Screw Lars.

i do actually consider Spineshank better music than Metallica tho on further reflection, prove me wrong

[entruil]

Metallica is a band that created a lot of Ascended music.

To each their own, but gottuh get mine...

Tesla talked about a resonating frequency that each [Noun] has... Playing Metallica songs live can distribute atmospheric energy. In my case, it's frequency matched my own.

I don't particurlarly like a lot of the "Garage Days" nor St.Anger(?) on... everything else is spot the fukc on...


thanks for not reading... peace.

Black album is awesome imo.

Everything after it was utter shit though, with Death Magnetic being a little less shit (but still shit).

I'm still not sure which one of Load, Reload or St Anger was the worst. Probably gonna have to go with St Anger as the other two have at least one half decent song each.

St Anger has literally not a single good song.
