>>Spearhead>> Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Released today on the band's website is the announcement that Rick Rubin(Beastie Boys, Black Crowes, Def Jam, etc) is producing the next Metallica album! No mention of post-Justice producer Bob Rock(Bon Jovi, The Cult) at all. Many feel that once Rock came on as producer the sell out of the band was complete. Truth is the band, well,- Lars, brought him in to polish up the bands sound to reach the masses, whatever your thoughts are-that mission was accomplished. What expectations do you fans have with Rubin behind the sound? Few can argue that the production on St Anger was prehistoric sounding, maybe Bob 'Top 40' Rock had issue with this, leading to the change....? I have been a fan for almost 20 years, but I don't know quite what to take of this move. I have resigned myself to just look forward to seeing them live instead of having much faith in new material. Nothing shakes the foundations like live Metallica 'Hyptnotizing power, crushing all that cower....Battery is here to stay!!'

Mufumonk Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Rick Rubin could help inspire an older Metallica edge. I'm actually really interested in hearing the new stuff. Everything that I have read leads to the new album being inspired by those that were inspired by them.......Meshuggah. Meaning Meshuggah's new stuff (Nothing, I, Catch 33). If you haven't heard them yet, do yourself a favor and give them a whirl. They started off with heavy Metallica influences in Destroy Erase Improve and Contradictions Collapse/None and evolved into some of the most talented musicians to date. If what I've read is true and Metallica is being influenced by Nothing and Catch 33, the album should be pretty special.........that is if Lars can pull off what Thomas Haake is capable of.

Mr. Nostril Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 I'm going to predict that won't help, Metalica will still suck with Rick Rubin. I guess I should try to actually make it a bold prediction. How's this? Rick Rubin will produce the worst Metalica to date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't heard any Meshuggah in a looong time- but I will spin it after reading this - I hope someone actually attempts to sing the lyrics, though.

Walking Deadman Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Can't be worse than St. Anger, which was for the most part (Frantic and St. Anger.....maybe considered decent songs but not really on Metallica's legendary level) an absolute horrible album.......dreadful is being nice about St. Anger. The funny thing is despite St. Anger sucking more than a porn star, I saw the band at Summer Sanitarium with Bizcuit, Linkin Park, Deftones and Mudvanye a few years back and they dominated the night playing most of the songs from 'Puppets, Ride the Lightning, Kill 'em All and Justice.....and they still are Metallica. Hopefully, they can sound like they used to and not St. Anger.....ugghhhhhhh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDoyler23 Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Metallica needs to start drinking again. Only James Hetfield stopped drinking. That was still a very ****ty thing to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chomerics Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Metallica died with Cliff, and was buried after Justice. Although Justice is my favorite album from them, I will have to agree with you there. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoCalMike Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Metallica has been dead to me for over 15 years now. If they actually come out and make a THRASH METAL record again, I won't refuse to listen to it or anything, but hey they said all the same hub bub about St. Anger and my gawd that was awful. Give me Slayer over Metallica anyday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commander PK Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 I think bringing in Rubin is a great idea. For those who don't know, he also produces System of a Down. I think that Rock is a great producer, but Metallica kept him too long. He should have been let go after Re-Load. I have a feeling that Metallica is really trying hard to get back to their roots. First with St. Anger, and now with Rubin being brought in. As a pretty big fan of the band, I hope they get it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
