i still love my old metallica, and kinda like all the stuff after the black album, the thing that changed them? -- Bob Rock, their producer....james hetfield was never really a singer, but more of a vocalist for a metal band that knew how to shred...but, after watching the making of the black album, u can see bob rock coaching james on carrying out his vocals, and turning him into a singer, and then the new metallicawas born....not really bad, but i hate not seeing another 'and justice for all' type ofalbum...the new stuff is cool, but is aimed towards the pop crowd who digs korn and limp bizkit. but respect to metallica for paving the way for metal. for a minute, pantera was THE metal band imo, but what the fuck happened to them?
