So I still struggle to find the embarrassing part of not having an album out or the tragic part. 8 years. |

8 years go by in the blink of an eye. I'm sure they are dying to spill the beans and talk about the new album but are still in hush mood. Once they are ready, good luck trying to shut up Lars. We will get a flood of info, probably too much, when the time comes.
the time that passes when you're 10-18 years old, it feels like a life time because its all relevant to your perspective. But as you get older, time speeds up at a scary pace. I imagine when you're pushing 60, 8 years is nothing, a blink of an eye.

Who says you can't remain enthusiastic about it over the course of this time though? As far as not delivering, that's entirely based on your own personal view of what delivering is. For many fans being able to see them live at festivals over the past decade is delivering. For others, putting out two epic box sets is delivering. For some Lulu and TTN was delivering. So I still struggle to find the embarrassing part of not having an album out or the tragic part. Well yes, it's the view of someone primarily interested in new musical output. Lulu was new music of course, but (a) it was shit and (b), they knocked it out in two weeks or something. I wouldn't say it's tragic or embarrassing, I think that would be over-investing to be honest. On your first point, look, it's a creative process. I believe that is sufficiently unpredictable and non-rational that more or less any outcome is possible. But it isn't just the passage of time that makes me think their enthusiasm hasn't been maintained, it's some of the interviews over the years where making an album seemed to be constantly getting pushed back and de-prioritized. But that's just my impression, I don't know. Maybe they started off with good intentions, lost their way a bit and put it on the back burner to make Lulu, TTN, and 43 live DVDs, and then came back to the process with renewed creative boners. |

Actually Glastonbury was the last thing I remember being a huge deal. Well really The Night Before had hundreds of thousands in person and online watching. So unless that many people is magically "not catching attention," then Glastonbury. Also the 30th Anniversary shows. On a side note, I've been watching a lot of clips from Some Kind of Monster on Youtube recently and it reminded me that St. Anger was the album that made me become a Metallica fan. Sure I had heard some of their previous songs on the radio up until then, but it wasn't until my dad asked me to pirate St. Anger back when it was released. Back in those days when we had to use Limewire because torrents weren't a thing yet, so you had to listen to every new song you downloaded to make sure it wasn't a duplicate. Heard those songs many times during the process and I loved em. Still do. |

<abbr>Garage Inc. counts as an album whether you admit it or not. Stop telling lies, ranking websites.

Bob Rock should replace Trujillo on bass. Imagine how useful it would be to have a producer in the band.

So I guess that will be the intro on the new album, they've been teasing us all this time.

The Stanley Cup is really hard to win but when your team wins a championship it's really fun. Of course you probably were not even born the last time your team won something.
Hockey players are kind of cute too especially after they get their noses fixed and put their teeth back in.

Depends on which team you mean. In basketball, I root for the University of Kentucky, and they've won several titles since I've been born. In baseball I root for the Cubs. The last time they won a championship, the world still hadn't been through Wold War 1. |

Not worth a new thread, but I revisited Clover last night. I have a new love for that song again. I think the verses are shit but the chorus is fucking epic!

I had an (unoriginal) thought: If they put No Leaf Clover, -Human, and I Disappear on an album inbetween Reload and St. Anger and did an album that style, I think it would be awesome. No Leaf Clover is really simplistic but it has an epic, powerful feel to it, and an album of those kind of songs would work very well with the band, I think. It would be kind of like Load and Reload but still different. Maybe they should've just done 3 Load albums and had the third one be the album with Clover and Human and I Disappear and all that. What do you think? |

Damn, a CloverHumanDisappear album would be my #1 Metallica album. I absolutely love those three songs.

It struck me yesterday when Phantom Lord came on shuffle that Kill'em All isn't terribly far away from being 40 years old.

I remember discovering the early albums in 91 and thinking Kill em All was so old. And now, 10 years just slips by like nothing. The Classic Sabbath albums where closer to my time then, then load is to me today. That's really scary. |

It's pretty insane, I'm definitely enjoying Metallica as much as I can while they are still going. We've also been fortunate to have a very stable line up as far as bands go.
