The Music News Update

[General Nerditry]

The general reaction thus far has been....holy crap . A number of people have wondered if AC/DC will make Rose the new lead singer for future albums.

I hope not. From what I've read Brian should be able to do studio work even if not live arenas anymore, and I think it would be a slap in the face if it's anyone but Brian so long as Brian is able and willing.

Here's an interview with ex-Styx singer Dennis DeYoung.

With AC / DC I know the reason Brian had to step down was the risk of hearing loss but isn't that a fixable problem? Have him wear the best noise cancelling headphones you can buy and pipe in the band at a reasonable volume so he can keep his place without blowing out his ears. It would look goofy but wouldn't it work?

From what was told , Brian's hearing has been going for a number of years. He kept pushing on and its now taken a toll. I don't know if they could tour with him anymore or not. Angus wants to tour more. Maybe this works for them. You get Axl Rose , he tours when Guns N Roses isn't. Just imagine if Rose could actually move on stage again lol...(his leg will be outta the cast soon I guess)

Hey guys. Glad to see this thread is still going strong. So, any news on that Metallica album yet?

Yeah, well... No. Stupid question, I know.

Blimey man! Give 'em a chance. It's only been 8 years since 'Death Magnetic' .

[General Nerditry]

Last I read they have a lot recorded, but not sure it's close to final. As of 4/9, it's "almost done."

Hehehe. Yeah, I don't know why I'm so pessimistic.

Like that shameless guy Ulrich said: "It may come out any century now". The nerve of some people...

Ha! That sounds about right.

[WillieMorgan]

Hehehe. Yeah, I don't know why I'm so pessimistic.

You know what though? Mentioning 'Death Magnetic' the other day inspired me to dig it out and listen to it for the first time in a few years. It's really damn good. There's a fire in Metallica's belly there that I'd thought was long extinguished. When we finally do get this follow-up it may well be worth the wait.

I didn't like it. To me it felt like a band that knows its not very good so they compensate by playing extra loud. The last Metallica album I recall liking was S&M though I'm a bit biased as Symphonic Metal is my favorite genre (I'm listening to Leaves Eyes as I type this).
