When was I crying? Usually when someone screams "AAAAAH" they are screaming in frustration, not sadness. If it was sadness, the appropriate smilie would have accompanied it.

I enjoy many non-English singing bands.

Finntroll (Finland), Tierra Santa (Spain) and Seigfreid (Germany) among them.

Evanescense was never "christian rock" or "religionist"... somehow the media started calling them that and it stuck... I've seem numerous interviews with the band debunking those labels. I'm glad to see the media is finally moving on (although they are failing to mention they were wrong in mislabeling the band).

btw, I also hate the "nu" labels.

You found a way to draw a line,
between the world and you.
Faking your idenity it's true.
Did you think the word "alternative",
was only meant for the likes of you?
Do you think that they're too cool now?
Being popular is lame.
You're the one who made them popular,
all their songs are still the same.

You found them first,
it made you stand apart, you know?
But then everyone jumped on the same bandwagon,
making you an average Joe,
A lemming for the mediocre,
you were just a plain old joker status quo.
Blame it on the band now.
If you ***** them do they bleed?
What's the point in playing what they want,
if you won't let them succed?

Do you remember where we all came from?
Do you remember what it's all about?
When you made a point to be objective,
before you started writing Handbook for the Sellout?

You sunk your worth in being different,
just to be like your own kind.
You traded in objectiveness,
for the underground you follow blind.

bullshit of course. you think other bands don't care about making money?

And I really hate it just because a band sells out, they can't listen to them. I judge music on its quality- not whether it goes with current trends.

to be honest, i'd rather have another load, instead of st. anger.

hardcore can't be polished to a sheen and have the rough edges sculpted in afterwards.

i still can't get past the drum sounds. lars ulrich doesn't sound right with that poohfy kick drum and the high ringy snare. the drums are way too loud in the mix too.

they sound a bit better on the DVD. I'll be seeing them live about a month from now. We'll see how they sound. I figure they will sound like usual when played live. Like crap . But seriously, many times I have seen them live- they don't play in the best acoustics. Often it is in arenas with bad echos from metal ceilings.

Hoho!
Yet another humour-free poster.

Blame the band that slagged-off Lars and the boys, not me.
They had a go because of Metallica's whines about losing money to Napster and other bootleggers.

So none of you have ever made a copy of Metallica's music?

If the answer is yes, well, that is serious BS.

And your point.

I listen to a band based on their quality and their respect for the fans.

Something Metallica has only recently began to rediscover.

St. Anger sounds too much like 2 and a half minute songs repeated until they breach the ten minute mark. The transitions between phrases are pretty poor. It's like they tried to use dynamic contrast but don't remember how to do it anymore, and that drum sound does get grating too. To not sound totally negative, I do appreciate that Lars went back to using double bass...

I've never abandoned a band because people say they have sold out. People ***** about Paradise Lost selling out but I like their new stuff better than their old stuff. What matters to me is the songwriting and musicianship. I may be a bit of a progressive snob, but I've got real reasons for liking the things I like and disliking the things I don't like.

I like a band on the quality of its sound. Yeah metal elitists are annoying, and no i'm not calling you one here curtsibling. Its also funny when they refer to their varied list that stretches from Cannibal Corpse to Cradle of Filth.

The only metallica album I ever liked is the Black one. But thats just cause other metallica doesn't interest me.
"So none of you have ever made a copy of Metallica's music?" I don't own any Metallica at all.

I stuck with Korn through Untouchables, when alot thought they had sold out with Issues, Issues is there best album IMO, Untouchables is good too.

St Anger is the worst cd I've ever heard.

"Hi, guys, we're Metallica. You may remember us from such songs as 'Master of Puppets,' 'One,' 'For Whom the Bell Tolls,' and 'Turn the Page,' just to name a few. I know we've been one of the best and longest-standing metal bands, but with this album, we really thought it was time to appeal to the nu-metal crowd, and thus experimenting with a style that does not fit us in the least. We really should have the crap beaten out of us for making such a bad album."

i can't get past the instrument sounds to be disgusted with the lyrics. just like that "staring down the barrel of a .45" song. that has got to be the most trite 6/8 melody i've heard. ever. and i've got all but the paper for a music theory degree.

I like Evanescence, and I've never known they were a Christian group. I don't really care either.

Oh, and them being Nu-Rock? I don't see where that's coming from, but I s'pose everyone seems to want to add "nu" to everything

My Immortal's my fav too, had it on repeat for quite a while when i got the album
