Even the watered down ACTUAL letter is pretty kick ass. I’ve always liked Grohl and stopped liking Metallica after Master of Puppets because that was their last good album. And it wasn’t as good as Ride the Lightning.

I guess I am tired. Typo, *They are both garbage.

Bah, they both garbage. Metallica hasn’t put out a decent record since killem all and Nirvana sucked. I’d rather listen to some Bootsy.

From the In Your Honor guy... wow. Ballsy.

Still...Grohl got help from Stu Copeland on his stuff, and I don't think he'd break Metallica any worse than it is.

I'd love to see the rockumentary of those sessions, though. I'm sure Lars'd relinquish the throne now and again.

Right.

@Whigged:

I like the drum sound--tinny, ugly and sharp. And I don't care how the sound was created, so long as I like it. I don't go looking for authenticity in mainstream pop/rock studio recordings.

So the beef is simply the drums?

@mossdale: Try one of the shittiest drum sounds ever laid down.

And as far as a "good raw punked out sound," I find it amazing you think they achieved that when the recording was so cut and paste in Pro Tools that the band had to spend a month learning how to play the songs Bob Rock built before playing them live.

I can’t say I’m the biggest Metallica fan, but I am puzzled how everyone dumps on St. Anger. I kinda like it. It has (to me) a good raw punked out sound, and the energy is there. So what is it? Poor mastering? lack of solos? bad songs? I guess some songs drag a bit long, and the therapy-session lyrics can get tiring, but it still rocks.

The Foos aren't anywhere near Metallica's level. Grohl, go find another "amateur-professional" musician to fiddle with you at the Grammys.

I have liked every Metallica album except for ReLoad and can't wait for the new one.

Much like his admiration for Metallica, I will probably always love Dave Grohl no matter how predictable and crappy his music becomes. Unless he becomes a superdouche like Chris Cornell…

Metallica is through. Everyone’s entitled to their own opinion of for how long… Go Grohl! Letting fun lead.

Dear Dave. Yes, Metallica is old. But so are you. Go water your lawn and shut the fuck up.

this open letter is weak sauce and not delivering the snark promised by the headline. very tricky, idolator.

Open letter to Dave Grohl:

Retire. Soon.

@janine: He plays a bit of everything.

@janine: Considering he recorded almost 100% of the first FF album by himself, he probably knows his way around a bass.

@luciluce666: Does Grohl play bass?
