what kind of music do u listen to?, its kinda been bugging me... Options

I wouldn't say it [or they] ruined metal as a whole but I have to say it goes farther back than that - Their "Black" album was the final nail in the coffin IMO - totally manufactured POS hit dispenser. It wasn't just them tho. Metal wasn't and hasn't grown since those days.

I wouldn't say that album ruined my image of metal either; just my image of Metallica. Pretty much And Justice For All is where it ends for me with them. That was their best - and last good - album.

I listen to just about everything. I can rock out to Elvis or Chuck Berry, get on a HUGE Beatles kick, Janice Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, CCR, Simon and Garfunkle or Patsy Cline, Brenda Lee and Johnny Cash (the ONLY country I will listen to, BTW). I love bands like The White Stripes, The Hives, Jet, Greenday... more "mainstream" modern punk. But I also love any Zombie (White or Rob LOL), System of a Down, Korn... most U2, 80s stuff like Depeche Mode, New Order... etc. My all time favorite band is Tool though, with Led Zeppelin a close second.

pertty much anything but screamo, alot of hardcore rap, and screwed and choped remixes

I have a similar question, its not exactly about music preference, its a bit more related to a single album. Did Metallica's 'St. Anger' ruin anybody else's perception of metal? Everyone I know has the same opinion about how that album ruined metal but I think it might just be a local thing.

True but I didn't want to say that at risk of offending the people who though the black album was Metallica's most AMAZING album. There are a whole bunch of people on either side of the debate for the black album but most of them agree that St. Anger was the worst metallica album, if not the worst album of all time

However I have a bit of a bias, I was a huge Metallica fan when it came out and I had been anticipating its release for several months (as were most of my friends) and it just made me lose all faith in metal as a genre.

Tool ftmfw

I saw them 3 times on the 10,000 days tour

[DEATH]

That's funny - I saw Tool when they were nobody on second stage at one of the first Lollapalooza shows and I loved them. Since then I just find their music to be a bit too serious and IDK - Pompas [MSP?]. I dig their skill but I can't get into the music the way I did with their early stuff.
The Metallica debate will always be that way - there are people who like the Black album and newer and there are people like Griffy and myself who find that to be the end of a good thing. I think Griffy and I are old enough to remember them when they were not so mainstream and And Justice, while a very killer album, just made them famous and rich and it seemed like their values changed overnight. it's easy to say all that when I have no record deal for my own project [Harder to keep your integrity when the $$$ start getting waved in your face I'm sure].
good for them tho - they definetly put in their dues before they got the $$$.

Sh*t when it comes to paying the bills or groupies, IDK who WOULDN'T sell out... I'd sell out in a heartbeat if it were me, I'd just keep the genuine artistic stuff for myself is all. Cake & eat it too!

Yeah that was slightly impossible for me, the time Tool were 2nd stage at Lollapalooza I was proably 6, and Metallica released the Black Album when I was 4 I kind of wish I was older though. I do agree that the new Tool stuff is a bit to serious though, well its not that its really gained any seriousness, the earlier stuff was pretty serious too. Its just lost its sharp wit, I think. There was something About Opiate and Undertow that was just very sarcastic and dry, and it was a bit more on the lo-fi sound, the actual music had a bit of an edge to it. The latter stuff though is a bit more progressive (musically) and existential (lyrically) and its lost a bit of that sarcastic tone. Plus some of it requires additional reading. (Lateralus for example uses the Fibonacci sequence ascending and descending) Its just different music altogether. Most of the fun of Tool though, is not actually listening to the music, its playing it.

On metallica: I think they got in their dues long before Justice though. Justice was just a bonus before they sold out big time. I think their magnum opus was Master of Puppets. I never really got into Justice, its the only album missing from my Metallica discography (I actually still own St. Anger. I'm saving it for my kids to hear, so they know how bad of an album it was )
