rainman 0 #1 June 22, 2004 I just had to share this: I saw Metallica yesterday in Amsterdam, and the concert was AWESOME!!!!! James, Lars, Kirk and Rob are great!!!! OTOH, if I never see nor hear anything about Slipknot (or snotlip as a friend called them) ever again it would be too soon.... Korn was OK by me, won't be buying any of their CDs soon though. My brother and me were in the 'snake pit' (dunno if that's a normal term for it) right in front of the stage, my ears are still ringing and my throat feels like I swallowed some glass, but it was *SO* worth it!!!!Rainman Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WrongWay 0 #2 June 22, 2004 I've seen all three of the mentioned bands on a few occasions, and here's my opinion..... Metallica I was not happy with. Back in the day of the black album they were awesome, but with their new bassist and this crap they've been writing, I seriously think it's all about money and escaping boredom for these guys. Slipknot I agree with you. Aside from having two drummers (which is kinda cool), they're not worth the show. As for KoRn, I used to practically follow those guys around when they started out. They're first two cd's were strong and full of emotion and personal experience. But then as soon as the third cd came out and everyone started throwing them on MTV, their music and their image when down the tube, along with their energy and spirit in concert. Take my word for it, their concerts in the first few years could have been marked as legend. But now, all I have to say is . Sorry to be so negative, but that's my story and I'm stickin' to it.

I'm not the average metal-fan if such a thing even exists, and I have to admit I don't know all the lyrics by heart. I really do appreciate some kind of melody in music. And I like it when they all finish at approximately the same time. (Deicide, are you listening? ) I guess Metallica is more accessible to me, but I could get used to Korn's sound. You've convinced me to give them a fair chance at least. Quote Slipknot I agree with you. Aside from having two drummers (which is kinda cool), they're not worth the show. It's like very loud street-theatre....You're being very generous calling a guy that's whacking the shit out of an empty beer barrel with a baseball bat a drummer I have to admit that their 'main' drummer is rather good though, but that's only like 11% of the band Quote As for KoRn, I used to practically follow those guys around when they started out. They're first two cd's were strong and full of emotion and personal experience. ...... But now, all I have to say is . Their version of 'One' was really cool, and I'll definitely listen to one of their CDs soon.....Rainman Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CrazyIvan 0 #4 June 22, 2004 Korn is a little too much for me, but I'd listen to a couple of songs, I used to be a Metallica fan...now..they just SUCK.__________________________________________ Blue Skies and May the Force be with you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Conundrum 1 #6 June 22, 2004 I LOVE the old Metallica, but the new stuff.... not so much. They just arent as 'metal' as they used to be. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cajundude 0 #8 June 22, 2004 Yea, they (Metallica) pretty much lost it. However, the Ozzman and Judas Priest still kick ass. I've got my 4th row tickets and am driving to San Antonio to see them for Ozzfest on Aug. 7th!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"Aluminum, it may be metal, but is sure isn’t heavy...."____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

Mayberry 0 #13 June 23, 2004 I bought St. Anger the day it came out because of all the buzz going on about it. It was supposed to be "their best work to date." I had given up on them a long time ago, but thought what the hell. After each song I said "WTF?????" & threw the cd in the trash when it was done. DonDon Here's to friends!
