I agree, Metallica is sensitive as politics. I disliked St Anger and load / reload the most.

My favorite wasn't Master of Puppets either...though I loved their guitar, amp, bass, and drum tones on that album... Ride the Lightning was my fav next to the Black album. I really love the guitar tone in black and Kirks lead / fill work wasn't the same ol mumbo jumbo fast playing. It has feel to it.

I'm really hoping to see a new Metallica. I don't want MOP, Kill em All, Load, St Anger.. I want them to be their own. I don't want them to write for the fans, what the fans want or what the fans like.. they need to write what they feel and how they want to express it.

The Some Kind of Monster DVD embarrassed me... I was embarrassed for them. It was so much drama and crying, wtf was that?? Even the meeting between lars and mustaine was pathetic.. and James is such a bone head in the matter.... and here I am caught up in their drama. lol.

It was 25 freakin years ago.. get over it!!! Now lets make music!
