Why Metallica Sucks -- Contest results -
July 11th, 2003, 11:50 AM
The Orlando Weekly had a contest recently which had readers submit their best essay on the topic of 'Why does Metallica Suck?'.
I missed the contest. (I really have to start reading O.W. more often!), but the results are in. And some of them are pretty damn funny. :cross http://www.orlandoweekly.com/music/f...ndex.asp?f=430 http://www.freeipods.com/default.aspx?referer=8786054 Fodder Forums --- Get Your Fill. |

In some ways, they suck. In others, they are still the greatest band in the world.

All this "Metallica sucks" stuff makes me laugh.
Arguably, they´re albums do suck NOWADAYS, but once upon a time, they were the greatest metal band since Black Sabbath. So maybe some of these acne-faced teenies who think you´re well´ard should learn to appreciate music a little more and realize that, if it weren´t for Metallica, all these wusses wouldn´t be listening to fucking Linkin Park and Evanescence on the radio. Like it or hate it, their "Black Album" preceeded by a few months the explosion of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" on the radio, thus paving the way for heavy music on mainstream radio. You may argue that most of that music is crap, but it sure as hell beats the pants out of the teenie-bopper crap we´re fed most of the time. Listen to the "Ride The Lightning" or "Master of Puppets" albums and then come tell me about "the band that never was". Also, I was fortunate enough to see Metallica live three weeks ago in Spain, and their current show matches the intensity of, say, a Deftones show. You may hate "St.Anger", but live, they still deliver the goods like few others. End of rant. |

metallica sucks.
they killed napster. that's the most important. then, they go on to refuse to allow singles to be dl'ed from the iTMS, bc they want the albums to be bought. why? bc they think you need to listen to the whole thing. maybe someone should clue them in that: a: they suck (100%) and b: even bands that don't suck 100% still release cd's that have shitty songs. |

In their new video, St. Anger, Metallica performs in various parts of the infamous San Quentin prison. But this choice begs the question: Metallica is at the forefront of the anti-file sharing movement, doing everything in their power to shut down what they consider to be an illegal enterprise. So in their video, they give minutes of camera time to murderers, rapists and hard core gang bangers. There is even a statement at the end of the video saying something to the effect of: all those whose souls have been changed by San Quentin will forever be apart of Metallica.
(Unless they downloaded St. Anger from Kazaa I'm guessing). |

Whos Linkin Park and Evanescence? You must have lousy & behind the times radio stations where you live if you think the Black album paved the way for Heavy Metal on the radio:mellow Ride The Lightning or Master of Puppets were great albums. Then came Load & reload, which someone should've "unloaded":green2 Their delivering the goods now? for who ,UPS or Fedex? |

Anyone who still likes Metallica cannot possibly like them for the same reasons as when they were GREAT, because they are not the same band, I mean does anyone know the whereabouts of Kirk Hammett, because that guy has totally disappeared from their music, no solos, WTF? they suck now and that's that, I really do hate to say that, it's SAD BUT TRUE
