Pixelfill Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Just a heads up to those that don't know. The whole album is available for Guitar Hero 3 / world tour. Downloaded it last night for XBOX360 and it's pretty good. Not managed to get hold of the CD yet though. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkR Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 It's really annoying. I pre-ordered this in July and don't want to download it as I've paid for it, and everyone I know has heard it except me. This is the last time I pre-order anything.

Professor Kenny Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Anyone go to their concert last night at London O2 Arena? Me and 3 mates went up, thanks to two of them being members of the Metclub website, tickets were £5 each Number 1, the O2 Arena is superb. Number 2, they played in the round and as we were standing .. is the first time I've been so close to a band. Number 3, they didn't disappoint Love the new album although probably not as much as the Black album which was my first venture into Metallica Have to agree with a few people on here, St. Anger was rubbish although they did play a track last night off of it which Hetfield said "we don't care what you think of St. Anger, that song rocks" Oh and they admitted to being in the "pop" culture as well I was at the O2 last night - you're right, what a great venue! I was in the seats though - still closer to them than I've been before. I thought they were awesome last night; it was the 5th time I've seen them and it was the best too I think. And I'm loving the new album, it's constantly on my ipod at the moment =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Just downloaded it, am really liking it so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted September 17, 2008 Author Share Posted September 17, 2008 I'm still waiting for my copy to arrive! Does it have any old school thrash guitar on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Yeah, it still sounds different from the original stuff, but its very up tempo and more thrashy. Some of it reminds me of Slayer in some aspects. My Apocalypse is a good example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 First impressions of this album were....well, it's 'alright' but it's no Black Album/Kill em All. However and it's a big however, Death Magnetic is as has been said a definite grower. I'm loving it more every time I listen to it now. Rock on guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 I like every song... with the possible exception of Suicide & Redemption. I just can't get into it, it's boring and repetitive IMO. It's no Orion! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just can't get into it, it's boring and repetitive IMO. It's no Orion! Im the same with the above song. I loved Orion but S&D just doesnt do it for me as an instrumental. Other than that i love the album. Downlaoded the Guitar Hero 3 update the other day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Downloaded the Guitar Hero 3 update the other day. I've got the Wii version of GH3 so no downloadable content for me ...I've pre-ordered GH:World Tour for the PS3 though, can't wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkR Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 I find the album too messy. Yes it's a step in the right direction, but they try to do too much in one song. Keep it simple chaps..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkR Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 No! Complex is what made them great. I don't agree. Yes they did have complex riffs, but only a few per song, whereas now they seem to have sat in a studio, played a riff, clicked on copy, pasted here and there, clicked on another etc, until they had 5 minutes of chopping and changing tempo. I also feel some of the lyrics feel forced and rushed. Like they sat down and thought "...hmmm, the public liked the tracks about death. How can we do some lyrics that they'll like...", instead of it sounding more personal it sounds made to measure. Don't get me wrong, Metallica have always been and will always be my favourite group of all time, but I feel a little let down. Maybe they should have quit while they were ahead and just toured playing the old stuff we love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 After listening to the album 100 times or more I can say its definately a grower.On first hearing it I was a little dissapointed,but now love it. The riffs in some of the songs are awesome.:)from a guitarists point of view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 The riffs in some of the songs are awesome.:)from a guitarists point of view. Yeah, I like the technicality of the songs. I understand the messy comments, or it being too complex. I think most of the songs on Puppets were perfect as they were fast heavy, technical, but they all flowed kinda predictably which made them easier to pick up. These new ones are just gonna take a bit more getting used to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorin Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 So, the UK tour dates have been announced, anyone going? Tickets on sale Friday I believe http://www.metallica.com/page.asp?id=13367 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I'm tempted to get tickets for Sheffield or Manchester but having seen people at both I've been disappointed by the sheer size of the places, I'm not a big fan of arena stuff but I guess it might be possible to get in there early enough to be nearer the front. Maybe one of us should join the "Metclub" and then buy tickets for everyone here today? And by "one of us" I mean anyone else but me I'm still struggling with the album, a couple of tracks are working out OK but the rest haven't made an impression yet.

Sheffield for me, for that reason, it's a smaller venue. The view depending on where you sit in the MEN Arena can be crap too.

chris2o2 Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I'm liking the album , that track "Suicide and Redemption" is awesome imo SECC in Glasgow is rubbish but i'll still try and get some tickets . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's OK, you'll remember for next time It's just a repetitive stringing together of 3 maybe 4 riff's in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats very true for the most of the track though . Sometimes its the simple things that keep me amused though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
