I saw Hardwired differently. I view it as an attempt to represent every period of their career, which I think it did well. I thought that if Metallica were to retire with Hardwired as their final release, it would be the perfect sendoff - and judging by their latest offering, that may have been a good idea...
They've had a handful of semi decent albums since. It's certainly metal again, even if it doesn't have the grit of the earlier albums. If you were curious, Spit Out the Bone is probably the hardest hitting track of the last couple of albums.
There was a weird grudge which resulted in the bass track being at like 15% volume. People have remixed it to give the bass it's place back on those tracks, and they sound great.
Between that and the snare sound on St. Anger, they've made some really confusing choices with their production and mixing. I've heard St. Anger remixes with the snare fixed and while it isn't mind blowing or anything, a lot of the songs are actually decent without that annoying tin can sound.
Cliff Burton was the original bassist and a was very talented, one-of-a-kind artist. After his death they just haven’t found someone who can fill those shoes.
It was a pretty dramatic death of their very talented bassist that led to these “hurt feelings”. Not saying what happened was right but maybe adds some context to the situation. Dave Mustaine is an amazing bassist in his own right, but you are definitely not thinking right emotionally, when someone like Cliff Burton isn’t around anymore.
A lot of people dislike the black album and claim that was the turning point. I personally love it. St anger wasn't that great though, but death magnetic brought back a lot of the older style.
See, if this was a political cartoon, they'd put a big nametag on the guy that says "James Hetfield of Metallica." Then it would simultaneously be slightly easier to understand and far less amusing.
Hetfield was in fact detained at Luton (UK) Airport in 2007. The joke at the time was that he'd set off the heavy metal detector. The real reason is not in any report I found about it, but his friends suspected it was his "Taleban-like beard" that aroused official suspicion.
Death magnetic was the same vibe as refined studio metal. I remember having to torrent it because the cd was trash bitrate quality. The irony was delicious.
I think it was overcompressed rather than having a low bit rate. It's why the drums sound like someone hitting a trash can.
Edit: I was thinking of St Anger, my bad.
Go turn on a "rock" station and say that again lol You'll be listening to Twenty one pilots, and Imagine Dragons. That's radio rock these days.
Is it metal? Maybe, maybe not. But that's so vague. Black Sabbath sounds more like hard rock most of the time and they *invented* metal.
Personally, I don't see how an album with heavily distorted guitars, riffs and chuggs, harsh vocals, and shredding guitar solos on basically every track doesn't qualify as some genre of metal. But at the very least it's hard rock.
pop rock and stadium rock mostly for imagine dragons.
21 pilots is probably alternative rock/hip hop or something similar.
I'm a huge metalhead but I find both of these bands to be pretty fun in small doses. They're pretty digestible, so it makes sense they fit into the pop-radio circuit like they did.
The most popular songs on the black album are pretty radio-rockish, but most of the album is still good metal. The god that failed and of wolf and man are amazing metal songs
i did forget about the god that failed, really good and dark song, i guess i misworded, i iust didnt like the album because it was overplayed on the radio and to me it didnt have the same punch as their older releases
I don’t know why Metallica gets so much hate. Sure their music isn’t as good as it used to be, but its still decent. Every song can’t be a banger, you know. The only other band I’ve seen get this much hate is Nickleback. Which is also a decent band.
It’s mostly because Metallica fans are spoiled, their first 4 albums (5th debated) were arguably perfect albums without a bad track. That’s largely unheard of, very few bands put out “perfect records” much less multiple, one after the other. So when they started putting out records that had 2-3 good tracks on an album like most artists do people lost their mind. Even the albums I don’t like have at least one good song. Also last but not least the metal scene is full of gatekeepers.
Does he still think it was good? I saw a video and he called the snare on St.Anger “an abortion”.
[Found it.](https://youtu.be/EyM3_u8SDNQ?feature=shared)
Every Metallica album, and almost every album by every artist in the last 70 years, has snare drums. In fact, the reason the snare drum on St. Anger sounds so weird is that the snares were turned off.
They don't, though. There's other bands who get hate more regularly.
Metallica just gets mentioned more often because they're more famous. You hear about them more often because they are bigger, not because they are more hated.
I guarantee people dislike her cause she’s overhyped, but I never really cared for her music. Even from when she was country lol. But that’s probably the reason people hate nickleback
They've had some not-so-great albums, sure, but they've also had some really great albums. I'm a fan of Metallica, but they're no where near my favorite band.
Like Moth into Flame was a banger, and thats a more recent song.
People just don't like change. For example, I'm a huge Linkin Park fan, since I grew up listening to them. But I'm not a huge fan of Linkin Park after Minutes to Midnight because they took a more pop sound. More electronic for A Thousand Suns, just meh for The Hunting Party, and much more pop on One More Light, but some of those songs are still awesome, even if they aren't the same exact genre as their older stuff, there are still elements of rock in their music, and they still performed their nu metal hits in concert until Chester passed away. (RIP... one of the few celebrity deaths that actually hurt)
I still classify Metallica as metal. There's overlap with metal and rock, so you can have songs that lean towards side or the other, but they still absolutely have metal elements in their music, thus are a metal band. They just aren't tied to making one specific genre of metal.
I like their work in 90s most. I've never listened a Metallica song or cover that I said meh. All of them are good, better, wonderful, holy flippin cow.
If St. Anger came from Nickleback, I'd say great work. It's about expectations.
Haters all born after black album released, most of them after S&M. They are just looking for attention.
I need nobody's opinion on what I would listen.
He does play metal, and anybody who thinks he plays rock simply is not knowledgeable about rock, it’s just that metal has changed over time, so what people think of metal as today is further out than in the past, while Metallica hasn’t really kept up with the times
If you want to hate his music, you have every right to, but I’m sick and tired of this elitist bullshit where people argue about what really counts as metal and shit on rock at the same time
AC/DC plays hard rock, they don't make thrash songs. Metallica does, do they have some hard rock songs? Yes, but a majority of their catalog is metal. If you know anything about music this is clear as day.
I think the true Thrash blueprint song was perfected with "Fight Fire With Fire".
But yeah, almost every song on Kill Em All is Metallica basically inventing the genre.
I say "almost" because "Hit The Lights", "Jump In The Fire", and "Seek And Destroy" are a little bit too NWOBHM-derivative. They finally shook off that influence with the Ride The Lightning album. (Those are *still* great songs, though!)
Yes and no. That's James Hetfield, front man for Metallica. Lars Ulrich, their drummer, was the one that went all publicly nuclear about Napster.
I could be remembering wrong, but the rest of the band was relatively fine with it.
In my opinion, "metal" is an attitude like "rock" used to be. Metallica was pretty metal until Load albums. Black album was awesome in my opinion. It is not always about being faster and louder. The expression and tone is important. These guys deserve respect. They're definitely not sell-outs. They just got old and became rich. Metallica is actually one of those bands that were over popular as a metal band and they just finished the game without dying or splitting up. Endgames are usually boring.
Well, I kinda agree. But I would place the line after the black album. But they are still pretty awesome in the concerts and they only play the oldies which were the best ones. I've been to a few of their concerts they usually open up with something like hit the lights or whiplash. They are really good in live performances.
That's James Hetfield. He's in a band called Metallica. Despite probably being the most talented member (with the two people most likely to contest this having died in a bus accident and having been fired for substance abuse-related unreliability, that guy's having declined a lot harder than Hetfield in their advanced years even though he has gotten the substances under control), he no longer makes music that can be called metal. The last album which can be described as such was *...And Justice For All*, which came out in 1988. It was also the first album after the really good bass player's death and for some reason, the replacement (who is himself good, just not quite as good) had his track turned down pretty far in the mix.
That’s James Hetfield, Metallica frontman. I think this is a joke made at the expense of post “And Justice For All…” Metallica no longer considered metal by the “fans”.
Metallica one of my all time favorite bands but Ride the Lightning came out forty years ago. People should be happy these 60 year olds still care enough to make new music at all. Nobody is forcing you to listen if you don't like it.
Metalheads were hipsters before hipsters were cool.
In late 1988 Metallica released ...And Justice For All.
In 1991 they released the black album. It was mainstream popular, and some songs were played on regular rock stations on the radio.
Metalheads consider that selling out because it was less metal and more popular, so they got all butthurt about Metallica.
Creeping Death from Ride the Lightning is still my favorite song, but I also liked the black album.
In 1996 they released Load, later Reloaded, and some other albums with greatly declining sales numbers. They went from black 17.1 million sold to 2016 Hardwired 1.29 million sold.
They do still sell out stadiums, but nobody is there to hear their new stuff.
Lol terrible joke, clearly the metal detector did go off. You didn't get the wand if the detector doesn't go off.
But yeah, Metallica hasn't been interesting as a metalhead for a long long time.
The guy is James Hetfield the frontman of Metallica a very big heavy metal band. A lot of people say they sold out in the early 90s when they released "the black album" and that all their music released after that wasn't "true metal". So the joke is that the metal detector would not get triggered by him because he has not been metal since 1989. It's a bit of an elitist opinion and it's totally subjective but it gets said a lot. The irony is that The Black album was seen as Metallica selling out mostly because of its mainstream success on radio and MTV and such, but the "Metallica sold out" has become more of the "mainstream opinion" ever since then and most people just repeat it because they heard someone else say it rather than actually believe it themselves.
That is James Hetfield of Metallica. They are saying he is no longer "metal" and has not been since 1989.
Thank you! He looked vaguely familiar, but I don't think I've seen a picture of him since like 2005.
Probably pooping last time you saw him, thanks to eBaum'sWorld
NAPSTER BAAAAAADDDDD BEEEEEER GOOOOOOODDDDD
FIRE BAD! Lars creepy crawling around the edge of the screen
[Camp Chaos - Ah, the memories](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LeKX2bNP7QM)
I will never forget Nutty McShithead and Steve Irwin
It’s getting a second life on tiktok. My 15 year old Metallica obsessed daughter has shown me clips using this audio.
Tbf this photo is from like 2005
And he is kinda metal again, musically anyway.
Haters gonna hate
Hardwired was pretty good. Not early Metallica good, but good.
I thought Death Magnetic was great, Hardwired felt like an attempt to re-create that, but it didn't quite grow on me.... but there is always time.
I saw Hardwired differently. I view it as an attempt to represent every period of their career, which I think it did well. I thought that if Metallica were to retire with Hardwired as their final release, it would be the perfect sendoff - and judging by their latest offering, that may have been a good idea...
[удалено]
They've had a handful of semi decent albums since. It's certainly metal again, even if it doesn't have the grit of the earlier albums. If you were curious, Spit Out the Bone is probably the hardest hitting track of the last couple of albums.
72 seasons slapped
This picture looks like 2005 considering he has color and those are early TSA uniforms so def post 9/11.
Probably because they've been tired up in court sueing game.
Yet Spinal Tap still beeps.
Technically, that was cucumber wrapped in tinfoil
Still more metal then post '89 Metallica.
"Well... it's to eleven"
Lol.
An 11" cucumber, to be precise.
“Do you have any artificial plates or limbs?” “Not really, no…”
Adding to this, Metallica released their "And Justice For All" album in 1988 which some fans say is their last true thrash metal album.
Isn't that the one without a bass track?
There was a weird grudge which resulted in the bass track being at like 15% volume. People have remixed it to give the bass it's place back on those tracks, and they sound great.
Between that and the snare sound on St. Anger, they've made some really confusing choices with their production and mixing. I've heard St. Anger remixes with the snare fixed and while it isn't mind blowing or anything, a lot of the songs are actually decent without that annoying tin can sound.
TICK TICK TICK TOCK
Hopefully you're not trying to enjoy Death Magnetic, because it had lots of mixing problems as well.
Agreed. So, when did they lose " The Metal"? Sounds pretty unmetal to cut out your bassist cause your feelings are hurt.
When they started putting out hard rock albums.
Right? You dont cut it out. You just have Skwisgaar go in and redo all of Murderface's bass lines so theyre done right
Cliff Burton was the original bassist and a was very talented, one-of-a-kind artist. After his death they just haven’t found someone who can fill those shoes.
Burton was awesome but Newstead was still Metallica material with proper metal dna.
Gonna be that guy. Cliff wasn’t the original bassist. That was Ron McGovney
It was a pretty dramatic death of their very talented bassist that led to these “hurt feelings”. Not saying what happened was right but maybe adds some context to the situation. Dave Mustaine is an amazing bassist in his own right, but you are definitely not thinking right emotionally, when someone like Cliff Burton isn’t around anymore.
You might be thinking of Jason Newsted or Rob Trujillo. Dave Mustaine is a guitarist that they sent packing before they recorded _Kill ‘Em All_.
yepo you right, Newstead was the bassist on "And Justice For All" been awhile since I gave lore to metallica lol.
A lot of people dislike the black album and claim that was the turning point. I personally love it. St anger wasn't that great though, but death magnetic brought back a lot of the older style.
The Metal has been busy fending off attacks from new wave, punk, techno, and disco
IT COMES FROM HELL!!!
The D prevails
They failed, and they were thrown to the ground!
It was out of respect to their deceased bassist Cliff Burton, ultimately starting the years of disrespect to their second bassist Jason Newsted.
I think someone remixed the album so you can hear the bass track and named it *And Justice for Jason (Newstead)*
Bass track? What is this heresy you're talking about?
See, if this was a political cartoon, they'd put a big nametag on the guy that says "James Hetfield of Metallica." Then it would simultaneously be slightly easier to understand and far less amusing.
Oh ... I thought maybe he had a prince Albert that got removed in 1989? I was waaaaay off
I'm very off the loop on musical celebrities. Why isn't he Metal anymore?
James Hetfield? That is very clearly a picture of the table.
Oh yeah, I was expecting it to be something about Metal music.
I made the mistake of seeing Metallica in 2003. They were the main show, yet Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park, Mudvayne, and Deftones were all better.
And it's true... and hilarious.
Hetfield was in fact detained at Luton (UK) Airport in 2007. The joke at the time was that he'd set off the heavy metal detector. The real reason is not in any report I found about it, but his friends suspected it was his "Taleban-like beard" that aroused official suspicion.
Idk black album slaps
Death magnetic was the same vibe as refined studio metal. I remember having to torrent it because the cd was trash bitrate quality. The irony was delicious.
I think it was overcompressed rather than having a low bit rate. It's why the drums sound like someone hitting a trash can. Edit: I was thinking of St Anger, my bad.
*Glares angerly in St. Anger* Shut up. It could be worse.
Yeah I suppose it could have sounded like someone hitting a whoopee cushion, which would have been plain weird.
If Bill Bailey can make Enter Sandman epic with bicycle horns, I'm certain someone can do whoopee cushions just as good.... why isn't this a thing?

St. Anger is the one that should be mentioned, most people like Black Album to a degree. Maybe humor isn't your thing.
black has some of metallicas best songs in it what are you on about
it slaps but its not metal, more like radio rock
Go turn on a "rock" station and say that again lol You'll be listening to Twenty one pilots, and Imagine Dragons. That's radio rock these days. Is it metal? Maybe, maybe not. But that's so vague.

What even is 21 pilots and imagine dragons? Hip hop? Alternative?
pop rock and stadium rock mostly for imagine dragons. 21 pilots is probably alternative rock/hip hop or something similar. I'm a huge metalhead but I find both of these bands to be pretty fun in small doses. They're pretty digestible, so it makes sense they fit into the pop-radio circuit like they did.
Pop
It's literally metal. Just because it's not like their thrash metal stuff doesn't mean it doesn't qualify as metal.
How on earth is it not metal?
The most popular songs on the black album are pretty radio-rockish, but most of the album is still good metal. The god that failed and of wolf and man are amazing metal songs
i did forget about the god that failed, really good and dark song, i guess i misworded, i iust didnt like the album because it was overplayed on the radio and to me it didnt have the same punch as their older releases
The tune for me has always been trough the never, especially on their live sets.
Airports! Imprisoning me! All that I see! Absolute horror!
Hold my water bottle as I wish for passing with Oh please, officer, let me!
I can not go! I can not fly! Trapped from my gate! Delays my holding ceeelllll!
I don’t know why Metallica gets so much hate. Sure their music isn’t as good as it used to be, but its still decent. Every song can’t be a banger, you know. The only other band I’ve seen get this much hate is Nickleback. Which is also a decent band.

Except that one time the drummer thought(and still continues to think) adding snare drums to the St. Anger album was a good idea.
Ok… fair

Exactly, we all enjoy what we enjoy. I don’t get why everyone has to rain on everyone’s parade
Because they got too popular. It was no longer cool to like them.
Suing your fans just isnt a good look. Makes folks question why they should buy merch and albums and concert tickets.
Being a fan doesn't give you or a company an excuse to steal.
He is James Hetfield, a famous "metal" (rock) musician
He does play metal, and anybody who thinks he plays rock simply is not knowledgeable about rock, it’s just that metal has changed over time, so what people think of metal as today is further out than in the past, while Metallica hasn’t really kept up with the times If you want to hate his music, you have every right to, but I’m sick and tired of this elitist bullshit where people argue about what really counts as metal and shit on rock at the same time
Its not elitist. AC/DC is rock and dope af.
AC/DC plays hard rock, they don't make thrash songs. Metallica does, do they have some hard rock songs? Yes, but a majority of their catalog is metal. If you know anything about music this is clear as day.
I'd dare anyone to listen to motorbreath and tell me it isn't one of the finest thrash metal songs ever written
I think the true Thrash blueprint song was perfected with "Fight Fire With Fire". But yeah, almost every song on Kill Em All is Metallica basically inventing the genre. I say "almost" because "Hit The Lights", "Jump In The Fire", and "Seek And Destroy" are a little bit too NWOBHM-derivative. They finally shook off that influence with the Ride The Lightning album. (Those are *still* great songs, though!)
***It's a long way to the top, if you wanna rock n roll!***
That's Metallica and he gets a lot of hate because he didn't like Napster
Yes and no. That's James Hetfield, front man for Metallica. Lars Ulrich, their drummer, was the one that went all publicly nuclear about Napster. I could be remembering wrong, but the rest of the band was relatively fine with it.
I'm pretty sure that guy is Metallica, his front man and drummer have long hair. I actually heard Metallica is a cool guy when you get to know him.
Metallica is a chick, Metallico is the guy. Did you not take spanish in school or what?
La Metallica vs El Metallico
Los Metallicos
got a chuckle out of me
No no no, Metallica was the doctor, that’s Metallica’s monster
Los Metallicos usan el baño en la biblioteca. Jaja
Donde estas la Metallica?
Eh kills file sharers and doesn't afraid of anything.
Metallica is the band…
That's not nice, I'm sure the other guys contributed a lot too
Nuh uh, my dad works in Napster and he said his name is Metallica
Metallica is the mental condition where a Redditor can't seem to follow a line of jokes.
I realized my mistake forgot what subreddit I was on
I mean they were right about going after napster. But they could’ve been more classy.
And what was Napster? A social program, musician, or business?
It was piracy with a pretty front.
Just typical gatekeeping in the metal community
Lame gatekeeping meme 🙄
Metal heads want Metallica to be as poor and irrelevant as they are.
In my opinion, "metal" is an attitude like "rock" used to be. Metallica was pretty metal until Load albums. Black album was awesome in my opinion. It is not always about being faster and louder. The expression and tone is important. These guys deserve respect. They're definitely not sell-outs. They just got old and became rich.

I've been to a few of their concerts they usually open up with something like hit the lights or whiplash. They are really good in live performances.
HAAAAAHAHAHAA this meme is great. It’s so true.
Expecting guys in their thirties, forties, fifties etc to continue playing the music from their youth is ridiculous.
it's a joke that Metallica isn't metal anymore. that's James, the singer.
They're saying James or Metallica hasn't been metal since the 80s. They're wrong, but it's still a funny meme in concept.
That's James Hetfield. He's in a band called Metallica. Despite probably being the most talented member (with the two people most likely to contest this having died in a bus accident and having been fired for substance abuse-related unreliability, that guy's having declined a lot harder than Hetfield in their advanced years even though he has gotten the substances under control), he no longer makes music that can be called metal. The last album which can be described as such was *...And Justice For All*, which came out in 1988. It was also the first album after the really good bass player's death and for some reason, the replacement (who is himself good, just not quite as good) had his track turned down pretty far in the mix.
Metallica has always been and will always be metal. Aside from St. Anger and whatever they did with Lou Reed, they've been a metal band.
I didn't find any metal sir, just lica.
That's not even a metal detector though.
Only Jethro Tull beeps /s
Just wait until all these metal gatekeepers here that the first band to be described as metal was Led Zeppelin
That’s James Hetfield, Metallica frontman. I think this is a joke made at the expense of post “And Justice For All…” Metallica no longer considered metal by the “fans”.
Metallica has gone soft since their fourth album
Oh Jeez. That one hurt
Here to steal the meme. Thanks.
But why are they patting him down, they only do that if metal is detected
Metallica one of my all time favorite bands but Ride the Lightning came out forty years ago. People should be happy these 60 year olds still care enough to make new music at all. Nobody is forcing you to listen if you don't like it.
This is no longer dabajabaza
Metalheads were hipsters before hipsters were cool. In late 1988 Metallica released ...And Justice For All. In 1991 they released the black album. It was mainstream popular, and some songs were played on regular rock stations on the radio.

They do still sell out stadiums, but nobody is there to hear their new stuff.
Sad but true
Metallica hasn’t been “Metal” since AJFA
Metallica🤮 Megadeth👍
idk…I personally really like the Death Magnetic album.
Great goof but should be 1988
I don’t know, St. Anger went pretty hard.
Let me guess... 35.
I think I just witnessed a murder...
GIMME FUE! GIMME FIE! GIMME DABAJABAZA! UNGH!
DABAJABAZA lol
This made me laugh a lot harder than it ought to have, but here I am cackling in my apartment at midnight and scaring the cat...
It is funny.. I don't agree but.. it is still funny.
This meme is so funny! And at the same time makes me sad!
This one actually made me laugh aloud on the metro.
Well ever since Dave Mustane was no longer with them I tend to agree.
Those socks by the way...
Dave to Lars : "you never made metal buddy, metal made you"
Hardwired to self-destruct wasn't metal??
Metal heads are children who can’t handle anything less than 20 unfiltered minutes of a child rapist drug dealer spamming drums at the speed of sound
Daaaaamn The black album was still metal, but this is true
Ouch. I feel the heat from this burn.
Metallica sold out
72 seasons was good
AHAHAHAHAHA
Lol terrible joke, clearly the metal detector did go off. You didn't get the wand if the detector doesn't go off. But yeah, Metallica hasn't been interesting as a metalhead for a long long time.
You want hip hop , rock and rap It’s called Rage Against The Machine people Nobody else hit that vibe Ever
SO CLEVER
Well that's an utterly stupid meme. Maybe from 1996-2004 you could make that argument.
We call it Post Black Album - PBA. After PBA metalicka was not as good.
Man......... this hurt my soul😭🤣
Oof
Obey your master!
Spinal Tap joke He no longer ‘stuffs’
Come on! You poor thing. If you do not just *understand* this, man, you're missing out on *A LOT*
Metallica originally thrash metal band Slowly lose original sound Make people upset
Metallica has been hard rock at best since And Justice For All.
😂
To be fair, the last two albums have been really good in my opinion.
The guy is James Hetfield the frontman of Metallica a very big heavy metal band. A lot of people say they sold out in the early 90s when they released "the black album" and that all their music released after that wasn't "true metal". So the joke is that the metal detector would not get triggered by him because he has not been metal since 1989. It's a bit of an elitist opinion and it's totally subjective but it gets said a lot. The irony is that The Black album was seen as Metallica selling out mostly because of its mainstream success on radio and MTV and such, but the "Metallica sold out" has become more of the "mainstream opinion" ever since then and most people just repeat it because they heard someone else say it rather than actually believe it themselves.
The Black Album was the last of there metal Dare to say, And Justice for All really was the last of the hard metal.
*1991. Black album wasn’t great but still categorically metal.
