NEW METALLICA!!! (Full Album posted on Page 3 via YouTube)

I am more on the Metalcore, and prog metal stuff than shit like Metallica.

While I agree with some members of Metallicas stance on Napster now, they lost me as a fan forever when that shit went down when I was 15 or 16.

Thought this was worth a read, I guess at this point the boys will keep going til they stop filling huge venues and the inflow of cash stops.

Amazing to me that a metal band from the 80's is still selling out full stadiums in hours, debuting albums at #1 on Billboard, and getting Platnotinum status.

Yep, there are some millennials enjoying Metallica. Although a different Genre, took the wifey to Tom Petty and Joe Walsh last week and was amazed at how many youngsters were in the crowd. Pretty cool;-)
 
2022 and time to raise this thread from the dead!

Every time I think I’m out… They pull me back in!

I think I’ll go on Sunday just to see Death Punch.

I was big into Led Zeppelin, The Who, King Crimson and during the 80s got into The Clash, Lou Reed, Peter Gabriel, Alan Parsons, the Pretenders, Stevie Ray Vaughn etc. Not so much metal. I think the hardest stuff I listen to now are The Dropkick Murphys.

I could have heard it incorrectly, but I heard a recent song by Dropkick Murphys and it was pretty woke. Basically saying fuck the USA. I’ll need to look it back up and link it.

They've always been a left-leaning band, but not as politically forward as a band like RATM lyrically.

Their most recent album was all old lyrics from Woody Guthrie, so maybe that's where the politics came from.

Yeah, they’re a bunch of socialist cunts…but 80% of the music we listen to and movies and tv shows we watch are also made by socialist cunts so there’s no escape. I like the raw anger in their music, it reminds me of my days of rage. Fuck the lyrics, I’m half deaf anyway.

And I’m not into acoustic so I’ll probably pass on their latest.

Very interesting. I wasn’t familiar with Guthrie and just spent 20 minutes going down Google rabbit holes about him, the Dust Bowl, and Oklahoma lynchings.

I was also surprised to see how many early 20-somethings immediately recognized and went wild on music from those decades too, in a way that definitely made it feel like they wanted to relive the feeling of those eras (I've seen it with grunge). There is a LOT of nostalgia for a time they didn't experience from Gen Z kids for the late 20th century, and I think this is also amplified by a desire to experience what it was like coming of age prior to the IoT and social media.

My son is 20 YO. He loves 80's music and his favorite band is The Smiths. He also likes some Metallica. Coming straight from him, its simple. Mom & Dad's music was just better. Yeah I'm an old soul, but I wholeheartedly agree with his assessment.
 
They sound tight as hell and James sounds better than he has in years.

They were on the Stern Show last week and brought out some guitar he bought for like a million $'s. I think it came from Fleetwood Mac, can't remember. Pretty sweet watching them talk about making music with it.

Probably Peter Green's guitar. I'm not a huge Peter Green fan but there have been great guitarists chasing his tone since before my parents met.
