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.

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?

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 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.

Unless he becomes a superdouche like Chris Cornell...

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.

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.

Everything past ...And Justice For All has been a mad weak cop out. Commercial crap... roller rink Bud Lite shite.

They need to go back to the break your ear drums rampant shredding (maybe with some steel guitar mixed in as well) and do a whole instrumental album, and screw the symphonic back up.

They need to make BADASS music again, like when Burton was riding. But I don't think Grohl could or should even try to fill those shoes, Cliff was the master.
