In case you didn't know, I'm a huge Metallica fan. Their new album Death Magnetic comes out September 12th and I can hardly wait. People have given Metallica shit over the years for being "sell outs", or upset with them over their stance on music piracy, but the idiots that get upset over that stuff don't matter to anyone.
To me, Metallica is similar to Obama, it doesn't matter what they say they stand for, what their roots are, it doesn't matter what they do, all they have to do is be the idea of Metallica. Be the idea of the baddest mother fucking speed metal band ever to strap on guitars. Unlike Obama though, in Met land, we don't want change. We hope for no change. Thrash with the one who brought you baby. We miss the days of Kill 'Em All and Master of Puppets, with unrelenting bass riffs and impossible drumming. We have had 3 albums of partisan rock, and we are tired of it. Quit reaching across the aisle to appease the masses and stroke me for awhile.
Don't get me wrong, I have loved every album Metallica has ever produced, but they all can't be number one. I love St. Anger, Load, and ReLoad, but Ride the Lightning is still my favorite, even after 24 years.
Anyway, here is a new song by Metallica: Cyanide
The video and audio aren't the best, but I think you could still get the feeling that Metallica is trying to apease the metal gods somewhat. The final two minutes almost kicked ass. It doesn't quite sound like anything off of Master of Puppets, but it could have fit on the Black Album quite nicely.
