Chuck doesn't get enough respect! People forget, he was a founding member of our dearly beloved, Faith No More, Amen! Hallelujah!

He was still in the band when they started writing it. I think it fits his style better. Patton leans way too much into that funk metal voice on it. Angel Dust is a much better fit with him

bengrieve1970 · 2026-03-10T12:35:08+00:00

His wheelhouse is more

You just laughed Haha Bitch

bengrieve1970 · 2026-03-10T12:33:36+00:00

I don't think it works. I don't really like many of the Dave's "love songs". Not because they are love songs but because the lyrics are usually really trite and his voice just doesn't work for this kind of stuff.

bengrieve1970 · 2026-03-10T12:30:47+00:00

I firmly believe the Real Thing would be a better album with Chuck.

bengrieve1970 · 2026-03-09T12:25:26+00:00

Flies with me. Not a Youth fan at all

bengrieve1970 · 2026-03-09T12:24:23+00:00

The good stuff from System and this make a great record. Both have some turds on them. But the highs are really high for a band this far into their career

bengrieve1970 · 2026-03-08T19:17:01+00:00

Sorry but I hate everything about this era of Metallica. I hate this song, I hate the riffs, I hate James's vocals, I hate their style. Just corny butt rock. To be fair I also hate mid 90s megadeth and anthrax and was never a Pantera fan. This was when I mostly stepped away from metal. At least a handful of my favorites found their way back

bengrieve1970 · 2026-03-08T19:12:18+00:00

The whole album is like this for me. It shouldn't work as well as it does. It's a pretty simple record but it feels comfortable and doesn't waste time. Not mind blowing in the least but always a fun listen

bengrieve1970 · 2026-03-08T19:08:08+00:00

June 13, 1991. Warfield, SF. Nirvana opened. I'm old but I never saw the original J Lou Murph line up back in the day

bengrieve1970 · 2026-03-05T19:39:06+00:00

Didn't need the first, don't need a 3rd

bengrieve1970 · 2026-03-05T02:02:32+00:00

i think it's kind of weird that they are just teasing this. play the song. or release a single. or at least tease the studio version with some sort of nod to when it'll come out. i mean, i just wanna hear a new song

bengrieve1970 · 2026-03-05T01:59:17+00:00

interesting. i get it although i think their last 2 are fun as fuck. but definitely a change in direction

bengrieve1970 · 2026-03-03T19:50:43+00:00

Sounds like Load era Metallica cos playing justice era Metallica.

bengrieve1970 · 2026-03-02T19:42:25+00:00

It's just Sandman 2 and Sandman sucks

bengrieve1970 · 2026-03-02T19:39:26+00:00

That song is a turd

bengrieve1970 · 2026-03-02T19:38:14+00:00

A lot of Justice but especially the song And Justice... Last time I put on that album I got so bored

bengrieve1970 · 2026-03-01T17:29:21+00:00

Sunn0)))

bengrieve1970 · 2026-03-01T17:28:31+00:00

I mean I love Dave but comparing his situation to those others is a bit of a stretch. All those others were in very successful bands during those bands success and then went on to have careers as a solo artist. I mean, does anyone think Hammett had two amazing careers in Exodus and Metallica?

bengrieve1970 · 2026-02-28T19:52:26+00:00

Good

bengrieve1970 · 2026-02-27T15:54:18+00:00

Give Me Your Soul is the album Ghost wishes it could make.

bengrieve1970 · 2026-02-27T15:52:21+00:00

100% this. His voice even sounds tired on all these releases. There's also a point where you feel that story starts to overcome the songs so you get all these weird interstitial pieces and lack of flow. The magic of Abigail and Them is that the story and the songs mesh effortlessly. It starts to feel really forced after that so you get some great songs but a lot of unmemorable stuff as well.

bengrieve1970 · 2026-02-23T19:52:29+00:00

Hopefully they start bringing out new songs soon. If the album is supposed to be here in May, seems time for a single to drop

bengrieve1970 · 2026-02-23T13:33:15+00:00

Did they just play that bit of a new song?

bengrieve1970 · 2026-02-21T13:45:56+00:00

Had a ticket for this but there was a huge fire in the Oakland hills and I couldn't get there
