What are you listening to, right now................

Ulrich used to be an incredible drummer. Some of the stuff on "Justice" is unbelievable (the drum track on "The Shortest Straw" is unreal). But it apppears he has forgotten how to play any of this shit. Metallica are pretty shit live now, and i think most of it stems from the fact that the drumming is kind a shit, and most of the killer fills and speed stuff is left out. And he's a dick.<br />

I just finished Enter Night, Urlich comes across as a complete and utter cock, I know fuck all about drumming but apparently he was very ordinary up until Justice and there was apparently a strong rumour that Cliff Burton and Hetfield were considering dumping him and replacing him with Slayers drummer.<br />
<br />
Any other closet bogans here?I've been listening to some of Iron Maidens stuff from teh 80s lately.Steve Harris is an incredible bass player, the rest of the band aren't too shabby either. -

Metallica are a funny band to me, they have done a few tunes which put them right in the all time greats list like "One" "Master of Puppets" "Enter Sandman" and "Wherever I may roam". Seriously, those four songs are fucken sensational but they have also done some utter shit like "Whiskey in the jar" "memory remains" and others whose names escape me.<br />
<br />
Kind of like judging a sportsman in my eyes really, Some of the stuff they have done is as good as ANYTHING I've ever heard in rock ( to paraphrase Patrick Bateman ) but theres enough shit there too to ensure they don't quite make my all time top 10 ( Top 20 probably though )<br />
<br />
Mind you many lesser bands have lived off one awesome song and "One" is without a doubt Metallicas masterpiece and a track I never ever get sick of, fucken love the contrasting guitar leads from Hammett ( pure speed metal ) and Hetfield ( slightly more bluesy ) -
The book went into how Hammett and Urlich took over the Load and Reload albums trying to get into the more "alternative" marketI and keep themselves profitable.Both albums suck, well pretty much everything after the black album sucks and even they disowned And Justice for all.I only really got into Garage days revisted , master of puppets , ride the lightening and the black album, the rest is prety average imho.

Motown fans might enjoy this one, I stumbled across it a couple weeks ago, a teenager dance contest (for scholarships yet!) on Soul Train from 1972 with The Temptations "Superstar," one of their great latter-day hits (and bitterly directed at a pair of ex-Temptation icons...that band was really at each others throats.). There are some serious moves being thrown down by these kids...<br />
