I have to agree that the new Megadeath is better than the garage sounding
bad of about 4 or 5 years ago... they have progressed nicely...
Unlike Metallica who hasn't grown old gracfully...
Yes my girlfriend likes symphony of destruction...but hey I like it to
Unlike my dissapointment with the new metallica... but I guess the 
and justice for all is a hard act to follow....

I guess Metallica has gotten a touch of Thrilleritis!!!!!!

Yeah, me too. 
I got into MetallicA with the truly awesome MOP and still love all
of thier stuff. Athough the black album is arguably different from
their previous stuff, it's still got energy (lots of it) and it still sounds
MetallicA.

I don't know where you can find a KEA CD, but I DO know that there is an
import Jump In The Fire/Creeping Death CD with Am I Evil? and Blitzkrieg on it.
I got mine at Tower Records (for $20).  The recordings of Am I Evil? and
Blitzkrieg are kind of messed up, though (they were recorded at a lower volume
with more background noise).

There hasn't been anything really worth responding to in this newsgroup
for a while.  I'm going home now, having a beer, and listening to some
Metallica (i haven't decided WHICH one) and forgetting about all the wimpy
bones people are picking with each other.  I will sit back and enjoy
the music, something I think this group has lost sight of. METALLICA.

Look, my friend, Metallica is not a thrash band, ie. they have discernible     chords and a lead singer who can carry a tune. They are (or were- depending on your opinion of their latst album) a speed metal band. The fact that you call  them thrash shows your complete *MUSICAL* illiteracy.  Metallica may have      softened up, but they sure as hell don't suck shit. They're still, in my       classification, a metal band. Don't dislike them on principle (ie. "They sold  out"), dislike them because you don't



 like their latest release, Got it?

  *Josh - UPenn*

Oh, by the way, selling out is Ozzy's latest album, or anything Def Leppard or Bon Jovi ever did. Please try to keep a relevence when you use a term.

What the hell are you talking about?  The guy said he bought all the
albums.  Incase you forgot, Metallica only has five albums.  "No Life"
is definitely a DEMO & not an album.  The other stuff you mentioned are
singles, imports, & covers.  And you don't need to buy the Japanese
release of "Metallica" to get "So What".

Also, enuf of these "newbie" & "sold out" arguments.

Just like it says on the sticker of Cliff 'Em All $19.98 Video. It goes

Yup! I do. I've got it on cassette. The inside cover lists the band as:
  James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Dave Mustaine, and Ron McGovney
Overall, "Hit The Lights" sounds pretty cool, I  really like the guitar work.
James' voice sounds a bit higher and he isn't screaming as much as on KEA.

	"Don't Tread On Me" *is* pro-war. Of course I'm aware of the snake
flag, you fucking idiot. I don't need the history lesson. But let's look at
the lyrics: "So be it, friend no more, to secure the Peace is to prepare
the war, so be it, settle the score..." &c.

	Okay, I wasn't aware of James Hetfield's statements.

	Next time, do some fucking thinking yourself. Yes, I sold the
album. I sold it because of that song, because I couldn't stand listening
to it. Besides that, there are only two songs worth at all listening to
on the entire album. It's not worth my $13 to buy a CD which I like only 
for two songs, and which contains (a) a ballad, (b) a song which does, you 
surely will admit, sound pro-war, (c) a song which isn't that good but which
everyone thinks is great because it's so overplayed that I got sick of hearing
it. I can only think that you're mad because you wanted to buy it yourself.
If this is the case, you should have contected me a long time ago!

If you were able to stomach almost 2.5 hours of Rikki Kraptman you also saw
the amazing SLAM that Mustaine gave to Dikki. Basically it went something
like this (very very paraphrased):

RR:So, what'd you think of the show. Everything seemed to go pretty except
   for a few glitches...
DM:The only glitch was you walking out on the stage. That's not what this
   is about. You guys shouldn't be out on the stage taking pictures while
   the band is playing. This is a metal show and that's not how things are
   done around here.
RR:(completely stupid look on his face) We were just showing the people at
   home what the show was like so hopefully more people would come out and
   buy tickets for the show...(this shows where Dikki's mind is...$$$)
DM:"SO?" <--exact quote

SLAM! Fuck eMpTyV and Dikki Craptman.

To some ignorant shithead who sold the album:

Hey, dumbfuck, has it ever occurred to you that there might some
other meaning except pro-war, of which you are not aware of?
How about a "snake flag," a U.S. Navy flag that was used during
the Articles of Confederation? (I may be wrong on the time period --
correct me then). The flag had a coiled snake and below it said 
"Don't tread on me," which was purely a slogan and nothing more.
Besides that, James has explained that the song was not about Gulf
or any other war, and certainly it didn't glorify war, but about
that flag! Next time, make a painful effort and try to think!
You got to use the space between your ears, otherwise Madonna
will make even more money. :-)

Alex.
