Members Thy God Posted July 14, 2011 Members Share Posted July 14, 2011 Half metal at most. Seether and Coheed sure as {censored} ain't metal. (And inb4robbingWalgreens) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seether and Coheed sure as {censored} ain't metal.(And inb4robbingWalgreens) Neither is the sadly mis-named "Metallica". So it is really 1 Metal band, and three "other" bands.

Metallica only had two albums or so where they weren't really metal. And I called Protest the Hero metal with extreme reluctance. I may take that back even. Their punk and hardcore influences seem a bit too strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, anything Metallica released after 1990 isn't Metal.... I don't know what it is, but it certainly isn't Metal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Consume Posted July 15, 2011 Members Share Posted July 15, 2011 Coheed kicks ass...very good when I saw them. Throw a rock at Lars for me I've never seen Coheed. I have a lot of friends who are into them, but they tend to be more into the "metalcore" kind of bands.... and into stuff like "Emmure"? I'm just into all the "screaming" kinds of bands, although I ill admit to liking A7X, including their earlier stuff where M. Shadows was screaming. Actually, Lars is the main reason I can't stand them.... not so much their music, although the last one I bought was "And Justice" when it came out. I mean? How much of a stuck on yourself jerk can you be? Hetfield is the talent in that band.... but I often wonder how skilled Lars is at manipulating him, because James Hetfield definitely has had some major emotional issues. I think Lars just realized early on how to manipulate him on an emotional level. They should have kept Dave Mustaine, and kicked out Lars!

Members staticsound Posted July 15, 2011 Members Share Posted July 15, 2011 Coheed is one of the few bands in that genre that I can tolerate. I haven't really listened to their new stuff...I got an album of theirs floating around somewhere about 8 years old...before they broke, killer {censored}. I never really liked the singers voice, but the guitars were insane...same with A7X, face melting guitar, but I'm not crazy about M. Shadows. I liked his sound on Waking The Fallen, but the albums after that he just sounds nasally and whiney.

I think Lars just realized early on how to manipulate him on an emotional level. They should have kept Dave Mustaine, and kicked out Lars! LOL YES! Dude, Lars has gotta have some sort of mind control...or blackmail photos of Hetfield and Mustaine in compromising positions, lol. Seriously though, your right, I think Lars' true talent in the band is manipulating James. I mean how else does that dude still have a gig...I am by no means a drummer, but that dude is baaaaaaad!...and a douche Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK now you're just being retarded... Metallica may not have invented metal, and they may have jumped the shark there for a while after the Black album but their early albums are pretty much the foundation of most modern metal...

I don't know what it is, but it certainly isn't Metal. Death Magnetic is a bit formulaic but I thought it was a nice "return to their roots" kind of album... longer songs, lots of tempo changes, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members rodclement Posted July 15, 2011 Members Share Posted July 15, 2011 Cool pictures! As an opening act it sucks to have to play onstage with all the headliner {censored} all there, set to go and you can't touch it! Like not being able to play with the big kid toys!

Like not being able to play with the big kid toys!Rod The Metallica stage crew was a small army of people it was pretty nuts. They started doing sound checks and it was like "Vocal 1", "Vocal 2", etc... all the way to like "Vocal 7" or something. I'm like "wtf"? Turns out they place mics all over the stage so Hetfield can just step and sing at whatever one he is closest to. I had not seen that done before but it was pretty slick.
