the new metallica songs are already leaking i have 3 or 4 of them. they aren't anything spectacular, but metallica is starting to step in the right direction again i even heard a riff or two reminiscent to the kill em all days

__________________

I wait till it's done.
But i'd prefer, if they play a bit harder again.
I think i'll check this vid on metallica.com.

if what you guys are saying is right, then i hope damn well
that it happens with sepultura as well. they need to lose their
singer, and get a new one, and play more like before chaos a.d.
ruined it. and about met., i can only say one thing: to me, they
are just a "radio band", meaning the only time i care for them is
if one of these days i turn on the radio. any other time, no i don't
really care.

No songs have leaked. The songs you have are from other bands mislabeled as new Met.

That mislabelling has happened before yes, and I Dissapear leaked like half a year before the release. I´m sure that it will dissapoint, since (like you said Slayme) its completely hyped. And i´m not negative because I hate Metallica or something, I have all the albums.... and do think that Load and Reload weren´t that bad.

METALLICA performed a short set this afternoon on a flatbed truck in the parking lot of the Network Coliseum in Oakland, California (the site of the much-anticipated Raiders/Titans game). Pictures and video will be posted on the group's official web site later tonight.

The surprise performance, which featured producer Bob Rock on bass alongside guitarist/vocalist James Hetfield, drummer Lars Ulrich and guitarist Kirk Hammett, included renditions of the following songs (unconfirmed):

01. Fuel
02. Master Of Puppets
03. Sad But True
04. For Whom The Bell Tolls
05. Seek & Destroy
06. Battery

I can almost garentee the new Metallica is coming out in the states.....i mean, they ARE american after all.

Back up one second. Did someone say Chaos A.D. wrecked Sepultura? What the shit is that?

im guessing hes saying that becasue of the publicity they got. I personally dont like sepultra, but i know that it is a respectable album. But when a great album comes out it tends to get spread around and become more popular. I dont think it ruins them at all, however society can ruin music but they never got realy popular at all.

well back to metallica. i think that they are going to turn back a little bit to there roots and the new album will be a little more "metallish". well maybe. either way i will still want to hear the album.

I think the hype machine is really more in the hands of the people rather than Metallica themselves. They drop a few tidbits here and there about them digging Meshuggah, Hatebreed and Entombed and suddenly the average music fan, plus media are positive the new record will be some sort of mutant child of the three previously mentioned bands. Take your expectations and throw them out the window, people. I could care less what the naysayers, Metallica bashers and so called "metal purists" have to say about what this new material will sound like. It's been said before a million times, Metallica play their own game, on their own field, with their own rules.

As for the pre-Raider game gig, I just watched the performance of Battery from that on Met's website. Pretty kick ass.

they are leaking out most are not the actual songs they are studio demos without the vocals put in yet

Download the mp3's then go buy, I don't think you wanna take the chance of paying
14-22 dollars for a cd that is crap!!!!!!

__________________

I cant wait till it comes out, I own all of metallica's albums and I am also one of the few metal fans that can sit down and still enjoy the load albums. The fact that they are gonna go back a bit to more of their old style is great news, the heavier the better

__________________

Well if the `NEW´ heavier style means the nu-metal bullshit they pulled with Ja Rule then I´m not buying it.... and I AM a metallica fan.

__________________

Metallica had a good reputation with me that they werecked with that load crap (sorry to all the load fans but it's not my cup of tea) they're gonna have to whip out a really heavy and intriguing album to impress me once again enough to buy it.

nu-metal bullshit they pulled with Ja Rule

they did shit with ja rule???? man what the fuck is up with bands that used to be good pulling shit like that, i remember how dissappointed i was when i heard kerry king did shit with s** 41 sorry i will not utter the name of such a gay band on this website
