Rumors and chatter

[Metallifold]

Guys, Metallica really isn't gonna record anything. Have tehy even got a song ready? They are just hiding behind this Escape Tour.

Yes, The album is far more complete than what you might think. I've heard from very reliable people that they've recorded MANY songs, though they have yet to be mixed properly.

I have heard the same information. This break between the South Africa shows and the next time they tour in a few weeks is so they can finish mixing the album.

I have further heard that this album, thanks to Rick Rubin;s production, will be as hardcore as any Slayer record there has ever been. The songwriting (LOTS of epic songs!) and the production will be similar to Seasons in the Abyss.

I just hope it doesn't leak on the Internet before the guys release it. More information is always coming out, but they understandably want to keep it quiet. All that is for sure is it will be available later this year.

Your further information on the album is something that I haven't heard from any of my sources yet. There is one thing taht makes me doubt what you're saying. You say that the album sounds like some slayer album, the fact is that they haven't even mixxed the ''album'' and they don't know for certain which songs will end up on the record of the many songs they have recorded. My question to you is- How would they know the album sounds like Slayer's album, if they haven't either decided the songs for the album, nor mixed them properly?

Seriously bro, they aren't Slayer. They would never hire a producer to be Slayer so whoever told you that has grass growing out his ass.

Now, as a respected member I've gotta say that I'd just like this to get back on topic instead of letting it go off-topic with rumours like those.

Come on, is that a respected members job - quitting some discussion whenever it goes some unexpected way? And... for wanting to stay on topic you had lots of things to say about that Met-sounding-like-Slayer-thing, dont you think?

As a respected member I think we should discuss Metallica's New Album as the topic title says, not start bitching. As for now the new album isn't available (duh) so there will be rumours and lots of opinions in this topic anyhow, nothing to do about that.

[Metal Up Your Ass]

so do you guys think they will play a new song fron the new album in june perhaps ?

This has gone far enough, and I've had enough fun with it. Gentlemen, if you haven't figured out by now that Mr. Bleixmaster was bullshitting all of you about what he knows about the new album, then I can't help you.

Sure, he might be able to sell to the same crowd that believed in Lars' dungeon that "I'm in Sweden, that's CLOSE to Denmark, where Lars is from, so I know people!" yes, and I'm in Los Angeles, which is a half day drive from San Francisco, where HQ is. And sjmike is in San Jose, which is. . . you get the idea.

Note Bleixmaster's reaction when I countered some of his bullshit with my own. He took his ball and went home. "Now, as a respected member I've gotta say that I'd just like this to get back on topic instead of letting it go off-topic with rumours like those." Of course, the "respected members" have fallen for tall tales about Lars' alleged bootleg collection, a new song at the Stones shows, and some charlatan having a recording of Hit the Lights from the very first show.

This topic began with poor, uninformed speculation about Kirk's status, and got no better. Was fun, though.

Ah, the reason i thought this disucussion should End was because We had the discussion in another topic, though our posts got moved to here which means that we don't have to quit the discussion ( so yes, you're right fey and NWOBHM ) I did not mean to sound bossy, just that we had this discussion in the wrong topic at the time, it was in one of the tour show topics


What is is this shit about lars's collection and that last thing you mentioned Metal Up Your Ass?

It's funny to see you think you know so much about me bro, would be cool reading an essay of your bullshitinfo about me
It really is fucking amazing how you can think that you would know more than me, just because you live in the states. But dude, i do not need to take a discussion about my credibility with you, that's just silly. I know what i know, you don't have to believe me if you don't want too, simple as that

I have a theory, Just because I didn't buy your shit about the album sounding like Slayer you get all butthurt and try to spread bullshit about me to feel somewhat better.
That's ok bro, someone could have bought it.

[even13flow]

I'd rather have another St. Anger than something that sounded like Slayer!

[Bert Jan]

I have no idea what this has to do with Lars' collection
I have no idea what this has to do with Lars' dungeon.
The only thing I know is that this topic is turning nowhere..
Don't u think it's just a retarded Idea that Metallica is gonna sound like Slayer? Thats the most idiot thing I have ever heared. Why in the hell would they wanna sound like Slayer. Not only the fact that I think slayer is crap makes me think that..but what a ridiculous idea. A band who excists for 25 years now will not change their sound because they hired a producer which also produced a Slayer record.

And now back on topic. If Bleixmaster tells me he has reliable sources, well..then I believe him. Ofcourse I dont know if it's true, but he has no reason to lie about that shit....

Anyway..let's get it back to what it all started off..the kirk thingy and such..or otherwise close this topic, cuz this is turning into nowhere...

I have to ask same thing, wtf?

[Toxic Avenger]

Am I the only one who thinks that Metal Up Your Ass's whole post containing that Slayer-"information" was a sarcastic stab at Bleixmaster's statements?
Or am I missing something here?

People, be nice to each other! Probably the best thing I can say about this whole topic as a respected member, if that's any reason for anyone to mention this status. Because, opposite to new album rumors that's something based on facts.

That doesn't mean that any discussion about "what if..." or "imagine something like..." or "why not..." is useless, but why get all upset about it? The world will, contrary to popular belief, still keep turning, even if we have to wait until the official word/release to see the results. And we all know the tense but sweet feeling of anticipation, right?

Yes. I agree and it could very well be a sarcastic stab, still no reason too since i'm right and that I know that he can keep on stabbing me but I'll be lauhging at him in the end So, throw all the shit you want at me and I'll spit it back at you later

I rest my case
