And I did say that something tells me that the new Metallica will actually chop a fw dicks and sound better than EMO, but it looks as if Metallica are taking the SlipKnot approach-which I again said ,is very “1997″.I mean you know what I mean don’t you?

Mysterious images-the “solve this puzzle” kind of thing,mysterious “reveal” sessions to metal journalists(some of who happen to be from magazines that think “30 Seconds to Mars” are Metal),and taking the down the very reviews of them and then putting them back on.I mean as individual incidents they can be considered “ok”,but when you take it as a whole-you are like “Shit,I thought SlipKnot tried this and you are supposed to grow out of it by 14?”

 

And now you can add a mysterious gig to that too!

According to Blabbermouth-last night (Thursday, June 12) they’ve played   at The Basement in Nashville, Tennessee in front of an estimated 175 people.

Yes,I know 175 people-that’s wierd.But when you really start seeing a lot about Lars Ulrich on the Internet-you are really worried ’cause-yes I know what you thinking “This was the very man who sued Napster!!!”.

But like I said in one of my earlier posts-though a lot of online metal blogs and forums have been bashing Metallica something told me that Metallica will deliver a killer deal.But seriously,now I am starting to think-did they really put this much effort in to “Kill em All”-I don’t think the Internet was there at that time.So once again,whatever happens you can always blame it on the internet!!!

Metallica on the Internet;

“While we occasionally enjoy reading the various comments, rumors, speculation, reviews, gossip and all the good that the Internet brings, rarely do we feel the desire/need to respond to the ‘blogosphere’ . . . Hey, everyone is entitled to have their thoughts and opinions, right? However, once we re-surfaced on Tuesday after a few weeks on tour in Europe, we were informed that someone at Q Prime (our managers) had made the error of asking a few publications to take down reviews of the rough mixes from the new record that were posted on their sites. Our response was ‘WHY?!!! Why take down mostly positive reviews of the new material and prevent people from getting psyched about the next record. . . that makes no sense to us!’ So after a few rounds of managerial ear spank and sentencing everyone at Q Prime to 20 push-ups each, we figured why not take matters into our own hands and just post the links here on our site. Kerrang!, Metal Hammer, The Quietus.

“You see, we have maintained an ‘in the press’ section here on Metallica.com for many years now, posting links to reviews of shows, album and DVD releases, and various other tidbits we’ve come across while surfing around. Some good, some not so good, but we put ‘em all up . . . sort of the same way we treat our message boards on this site . . . welcoming all feedback.

“So in the spirit of keeping this section current, we’ve put as many of the reviews of the rough mixes of the new record up here as we could find. If we missed any, let us know . . . and in the meantime, we’re always adding, so peruse at your leisure.”
