Megafanboy to chime in. Love all the albums but just like 5 songs on load/reload.
Love St. Anger8o........why?
1 I love the riffs
2 I love dropped C tuning (but prefer opeC)
3 It sounds live (I don;t listen to the album versions at all, I have hundreds of live show stuff and just prefer live better than studio.)
IMO, best tone was on Garage Inc. Love the dirties. AJFA and MOP IMO have the best song writing, but I like bass and I like hearing a bass player do things the guitar are not. Adding color to the songs. IMO AJFA would sound so much better with a bass player doing different things behind the guitars as opposed to just mimicking the guitars. My 3-4 cents. ;)
I mean if you think about it, all of us in some form or another have checks and balances. If I suddenly showed up wearing converse sneakers and greased back hair my friends and wife would say WTF? Who are you trying to be Jughead? But as a famous rock star he has nothing like that. He can do whatever he wants and everyone around him praises his greatness, except maybe Lars who chooses to ignore it. He needs a Mustaine or a Burton to say "what the fuck dude?" But I'm bored and wished to further discuss the topic. I'll stop now.
You apparently don't know too many car/motorhead guys. Those dudes wear Converse, slick their hair back, and pretty much dress just like James does these days. I used to work at a gas station. I got those guys in ALL the time.
What do you want him to wear? Khakis and polos like someone's lame-O father? The dude is in Metallica and has all the money in the world to fund his hobbies. He dresses like it.
It's a big change in character for the Metal cowboy. Wouldn't you agree?
Must be an east coast west coast thing. You can't stereo type all people by a few you know. I have several friends that are mechanics. One builds motorcycles, Orange County wanna-be, they don't dress like that. Come to think of it, they're usually pretty damn dirty. They're fingernails are black underneath. They where blue jumpsuits with their names above the shirt pocket. On weekends they drink and sleep a lot. The motorcycle guy wears a lot of plaid flannel and jeans with engineer boots, my personal favorite.
I don't know. Just bored and sharing thoughts on Het. Jeez, Dark, you jumped my case. Do you have a crush on Hetfield.:o
;)
^I agree I love that james. James was always so original. You're right he's trying to be a beatnik greaser, which is purely his prerogative. As it is my prerogative to point it out. Seems like he idolizes Jesse James, who is a living cliche', imo, so it's a little poser-ish. I'm sure I'll hear it for that. Was Jesse a former bodyguard for Danzig? way off topic.
Looks like his post-burn glove.
