bosstrabs The sooner we get the Dee bridge the better! Or even reinstate the Moreton to Rhyl hovercraft service!

    Smallman1 under no illusions how niche this is amongst this audience šŸ˜…
    Still wouldnā€™t mind hearing Hannuā€™s opinion though.

    Canā€™t all keep putting the Ed in lEDge like you @Smallman1 ā€¦

      Not a fan. Will also skip the concert in Helsinki in 2024. 129 ā‚¬ for nosebleed tickets at a stadium. Iā€™d rather watch on Nuggs at home after. Iā€™ve also seen them 11 times live already. That said the 40th anniversary shows were amazing, watched them on Prime Video, but theyā€™re not there anymore. But someoneā€™s uploaded them to Youtube so no worries. And I will buy the CD, only one of theirs I donā€™t have is Lulu, and that I wonā€™t ever buy.

      This new single is the first time I think theyā€™ve become a legacy act. Hardwired was actually a good album, and I liked Death Magnetic too. I guess itā€™s not bad they got to 60 years old before they went into basking on former glories.

        Homegrove I liked Death Magnetic

        Same.

        If ā€˜Lux Aeternaā€™ is the lead single, Iā€™m worried what the rest of the new album is going to be like. Will still give it a listen, but have zero expectations now. Just going to sound over-produced and lacking edge.

          Sounds like Kill ā€™em All and Reload had a baby and it turned out just as you expected.

          Some nuggets of hope lads:

          1. Bands often donā€™t release the best track as the lead single. In fact, sometimes they make downright terrible choices on which track should be the lead single.
          2. You can always throw a denim jacket with a back patch in the bin and for the rest of the day not be a total looser as you walk around.

            Had absolutely no idea they had new material out ā€“ they look like they are touring Europe early summer next year so heres hoping for Glastonbury

            They headlined a few years ago which means they wonā€™t play there again anytime soon thank god.

            Harsh reminder that weā€™re all old and will die soon. The ā€œnewā€ bass player has been in the band for 20 years now.

              Homegrove as good as Rob is, I still wish Jason had never left the band. Always thought he gave them a darker edge. Quite liked the EP he put out as Newsted a while back.

                  ScottBailey eh, he seems to be happy living a good life now with his Metallica-millions, and is proud of his time with the band, instead of bitter like some. He even did an unboxing video for Metallicaā€™s official social media when the Black Album-reissue came out a year and half ago. He wouldā€™ve have killed himself if he hadnā€™t left before the Some Kind of Monster-years.

                  He was an absolute force live though, and a really cool dude. I met him twice in the 90s in Meet & Greets.

                      From about 3.55mins in is very telling lol. Lars telling Jason to shut it after heā€™d just joined..

                      Really hoping they play Glasnost ā€“ they are touring Europe at the time I donā€™t think its out of the question

                      BlainSA I actually really liked it, because it sounded like something off Reload. Have not liked the two other new singles.

                          Homegrove Itā€™s got one riff I thought was ok. The solo is a waste of time.

                          Have you heard the HammetT solo stuff? Cringed at some of the stuff I heard harking back to the old days with practically the same licks.
