...So you just completely ignore everything good they did because their new songs aren't to your liking? Or is it simply because they aren't popular anymore?

Actually, they replaced the drummer and/or bassist. Load onwards is just... bad.

Metallica is nothing without the original drummer, and the bass is what makes Metallica... well, Metallica.

Our Lady Peace did a similar thing, replace their drummer, and I tend to gravitate to the older stuff, still. Though Raine's lyrics are still amazing, even with different drumming- "And we ignore it, just like the sunny days, because we're all dumb and jaded."

Bright Eye's Conor is the same way-the lyrics just get to me, especially "First Day of My Life" and "Bowl of Oranges."

Uh, Lars Ulrich is and always was the drummer for Metallica.

JDog

Yea, he's the only reason why they're still any good! Never and I mean never compare Lars Ulrich with anyone else or you will suffer!  and dude, I thought Load was actually really good.

DW

I thought you said that Metallica isn't still good?

Make up your mind!

I did say they weren't good, but lars still owns all drummers is what I was trying to point out. He's the best of all time. Its a shame their old guitar player died. He was a great one.

Neil Peart is a better drummer. And Michael Barker.

Im going to have to disagree, Lars is the best of them all and thats probably a proven fact by many other people.

Hi no Seijin

Mr. Hopson is the best drummer IMO.

It can't be a proven fact, as it's an opinion. Do you even know who Neil Peart and Michael Barker are?

To be honest, no, no I do not.

Well, your argument holds a lot of water then. Look them up.

Well, I for one perfer a band called Rage against the machine. amazing band. a little bit old though.

DW

Tom Morello is an amazing guitarist, no doubt, but I don't like their songs overall. Too repetitive and uncreative, except for his solos of course. The rapping doesn't do much for me either.
