I know he blew his voice on the justice tour but whats his deal now,why does he not try to sing like this still in stead of all over the place.Why play live and always try to sound NOT like your albums.God I hope the new one is good.Ive been a fan,ate crapped and breathed ,these guys when younger so any comments welcome,preferably seeing its a metallica fan thread,I also can play almost all their stuff on guitar and bass so we can talk some of that stuff too.Just,his voice in most youtube vids Ive watched lately just ruins the vibe they had.This was something that only a handfull of bands ever had and I just wonder sometimes if he is so into his rockabilly stuff that he lost some of that oldschool metal drive.He was a huge motorhead fan,you would never know these days.Anyways,just ranting.Used to be that not a single song had a ounce of something I didnt like and now since the black album,I struggle to find one song that dosnt have something to make me cringe.I still love them,its just I miss the old style sooooo bad.Every song had a riff I wanted to go straight home and play on the guitar,now no way.I still listen but nothing sticks.
