Fuzz Wrote:Exactly! Metallica circa Kill 'em All, Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets told a story in the lyrics, like how the song Master of Puppets was about drug addiction and Fade to Black was about suicide.
I'm not sure what the hell they're going on about here.
Eh, then again......
I think Metallica is going back to their older style because a lot of their fans miss it. When they dropped St. Anger, they disappointed their fans who preferred the Ride The Lightning/Master of Puppets era more. Load and Reload also got a lukewarm reception.
Not only that, but even Metallica's concert setlists almost always feature the 80s and their black album material. They once had their audience vote for the songs they wanted the band to play to see what they wanted to hear and they voted for the earlier stuff.. so it seems to be to please their fanbase.
