New Metallica song Dream no more and Honest Man Options

[Costakoui]

Have you heard new Metallica song Dream no more? Its main riff at the beginning sounds the same or very close to Honest Man's. The songs are very different but that riff at the start of Dream no more and later at 2:35 captured my attention. Perhaps it's only me.

It does sound a little similar, but it's a pretty basic riff. I imagine there are other songs that sound similar too.

What are your thoughts on Hardwired... To Self Destruct?

I like Metallica a lot but i am not one of the fans who say that Metallica died with the black album. Actually, Load is one of my favorite albums, thought Metallica’s gold standard, IMHO, is Ride the Lightning.

Now Hardwired album: It is very good! It has a little bit of Metallica from all eras including thrash (i.e. Spit out the bone) and its production is perfect. It is overall much better that Death Magnetic and one of their best works.

What do you think?

Death Magnetic is my favourite , been listening to that for nearly 10 years on a regular basis. I didn't even know they had a new album out! Can't wait to check it out

Love metal, never could get into Metallica, but they have my respect. Funny they should come up here as yesterday I was watching the Tonight Show clip in which they sang Enter Sandman with Jimmy and classroom instruments. It wasn't really that good (as far as the classroom instrument performances go), but I thought it was cute and cool that they were having fun. Then I wondered, are Metallica fans embarrassed they did that? Like, did they lose some of their hardcore rep as Live did when they did American Idol (which didn't bother me)? Just curious.

Anyway, good on them for the new album. I love seeing the bands from the good ole days still plugging away.

I like Hardwired as well, not as much as other albums (I completely agree, Load was a great album!) but t's solid. Here's the thing, if I took Death Magnetic and Hardwired and tried to compare them against the "old Metallica" then they wouldn't hold up. I believe too many people do this. Take the albums for what their worth on their own. I think of Death Magnetic and Hardwired as a different era of Metallica, and I like them! Do I like them as much as Load or Black, no, but that's not the point.

I really like Moth into the Flame, a great song!

Wambangalang: I never thought I would hear anyone say that Death Magnetic was their FAVORITE album lol. I like it, but favorite? You have that island all to yourself bud! And nearby is the St. Anger island... nobody lives on that island...

DM was the first Metallica album I actually bought and listened to so maybe that has something to do with it. And that was weeks after my father passed away and I dunno, the sound and energy and themes, it all just worked for me at that time.

St anger is pretty shitty I never gave it more than one listen!

Well now that makes a lot of sense as to why you enjoy it so much. Lets see, my first Metallica album was... Load. I was alive for the previous two, but too young to remember. I remember buying Load and jamming on my boom box.

Smart decision on St. Anger. What we're they thinking?! "Hey guys, you know all those reason's we're a really good band... lets make a album and not do any of it!"

there was a really good documentary about the band during the making of st anger. It showed the group dealing with personal issues and james' depression and the group therapy they endured as a band, and all of this overcoming of tremendous obstacles and finding their passion again and blah blah and the result was st anger, lol

Yes I know the documentary you're referring to, it seemed a little "acted" in my opinion. Regardless, St. Anger sucked, no excuses Metallica!

Anyways, back to Hardwired and all. Metallica is getting up there in age, and they don't seem motivated to put out albums at a good pace. Could Hardwired be their last one?
