When they were good they were very, very good. It's hard to say anything bad about the band the redefined heavy metal themselves. It's even harder to see that band, the one that wrote Seek and Destroy, Creeping Death, Battery and Master of Puppets, fall so far to be the middling, way beyond their prime band they are now. It's a prime example of great musicians that should burnout and disappear too soon staying around too long. This is what would happen if Jim Morrison lived past thirty.The band too heavy and too loud for the LA metal scene that pissed off parents with bloody covers and graphic have become a group of weak, complaining, self involved twits that couldn't lead a little league team much less what was once the biggest band in the world.
The problem is they know it and rather than sticking to the legacy of the band and disdaining all the bullshit that comes with wealth and fame, they embrace it. They've fattened themselves and their lives up with pointless modern art, unnecessary personal therapists and fashion consultants. What does it mean when a metal band gets their hair frosted? They're no longer a metal band.
That's the end result. Not only have they forgotten what they're about or why they do what they do, they've forgotten who they are?I'm all for the early retirement of bands once they stop what made them great and become a diluted version of their earlier selves. Are you hearing me Kiss, Aerosmith, Guns and Roses and Van Halen?
Unfortunately Metallica doesn't and those of us that once loved the band helplessly watch their decline as they fall further and further down.
