As Metallica titles go, Death Magnetic isn’t too bad. But leaving a little mystery behind its origins might have been a good idea. James Hetfield apparently felt the need to clarify, saying “It started out as kind of a tribute to people that have fallen in our business, like [Alice In Chains frontman] Layne Staley and a lot of the people that have died, basically – rock and roll martyrs of sorts. And then it kind of grew from there…Thinking about death…just like a magnet, some people are drawn towards it, [and] other people are afraid of it and push away.” So, death is like a magnet? Polarity, pulling, pushing, we all die someday? Cool, I guess, in a stoner logic sort of way, but it’s not going to get me to buy the album, any more than the fact that this is the best-dressed Metallica lineup ever will. [NME]

If the 12 year old, Metallica-obsessed me saw that photo I would have gone on a killing spree. I distinctly recall being on the phone with my best friend and crying hysterically as only a pre-teen can when “Headbangers Ball” showed the “One” video for the first time. We were HORRIFIED that they’d sold out by making a video. Ahhh, the good ol’ days…
If Robert Trujillo ever feels a bit down at least he knows he has a horde of Jezebel commenters wanting to jump his bones.
The Jezebel commenters are surprisingly well-versed in Metallica in general.
Nothing else matters.
That cover looks like a hairy vagina.
I wanna hear their half-baked explaination of why the vajayjay and the fingerpint had to be fused together.
I think that’s called “third base.”
Death Magnetic is obviously an anagram for “Can it, Megadeth.”
Cover looks like an Absolut Vodka ad.
@ragandboneshop: Brilliantly done.
“Absolut Fingerprintpussycasket.”
@ragandboneshop: @Charlie Kerfelds Jetsons Tee: Holy shit. Seconded.
