Megadeth has evolved, Judas Preist has evolved, Black Sabbath has evolved, Metallica has devolved. When you are one of the best metal bands in the world and you hire a Bon Jovi producer you make your own bed.



It might not make things better, but Bob Rock also produced Motley Crue's "Dr. Feelgood" album. Also, I just learned this news tid bit, it turns out that Metallica has severed ties with Rock and that Rick Rubin is going to produce their next album.

The change might be interesting... but let's pray that Metallica does not re-invent themselves as a Rap-Rock band. If that happens, then this battered wife will need to check herself into a women's shelter.


Now with the Crue, they were already a commercial success, but Rock definetly pushed them into a different league altogether.
Like Kiss & Metallica, Crue has one dominant member who guides the band.
Nikki Sixx blatantly wanted to take a shot at Bob Jovi's crown as the kings of hair metal, and he nearly succeeded!
Motley are a slighly heavier band than Jovi, but they have enough melodic elements to make them radio friendly (to a degree).

Once again, like Simmons, Sixx never lied about wanting to be commercial (although he has lied about it since).

As for Rick Rubin, that just sounds like another bit of bandwagon jumping!
Bob Rocks style is no longer in favour, so lets jump to the next producer with hit making success!
Once again, nothing wrong with that per se, but if they deny they want chart success, then they are lying!

Jason Newstead got out cause he was sick of all the corporate bullshit.
He wanted to be in a metal band and he didnt feel that Metallica were a metal band anymore!
Not cause they werent still playing a form of metal, but because the writing was handled more like pop than metal!
Also, the fact that Lars & James treated him like shit, proves what anuses they are!

Snarf is shit. His death will be rejoiced!
