Metallica Explain 'Death Magnetic' Title; Doesn't Explain Cover's Resemblance to Drummer Lars Ulrich


Metallica - Death Magnetic Metallica frontman James Hetfield has recently explained why the band has named its new album 'Death Magnetic.'

He explains: "('Death Magnetic') started out as kind of a tribute to people that have fallen in our business, like Layne Staley and a lot of the people that have died, basically — rock and roll martyrs of sorts. And then it kind of grew from there. Thinking about death...just like a magnet, some people are drawn towards it, (and) other people are afraid of it and push away.

"The concept that we're all gonna die sometimes is over-talked about and then a lot of times never talked about — no one wants to bring it up; it's the big white elephant in the living room. But we all have to deal with it at some point."

First of you fucking ass loving pillow biter from Shitcago, Eat my shit! You don't deserve a name with Pantera in it because Pantera, as I, are from Dallas and We don't appreciate the disrespect. I've never even heard of World Of Witchcraft but obviously you have you cum guzzling queeeb.Why don't you get out of the closet and join Metallica's faggot asses in a circle jerk? Go Fuck yourself!!! Metallica has been sucking since 1990 and obviously you have been too, if you've been around that long. So put that ball gag back in your mouth and shut the fuck up. Cheers, Homo!

@sclod13 : It's Trujillo -close enough If "Death Magnetic" is only as good as the "Black Album" that will be better than anything they've done since. If recent live performances I've seen are any indication though, I wouldn't get my hopes up.

Thats awesome they got the old logo back unmetallica seriously dude how long did that seriously take u to come up with that? did u have pause world of warcraft for it? GOD! your such a loser!

To the people who claim the new cover looks like a vagina, I simply say this: If the kind of vagina you are used to seeing have labia covered in shit and have perfectly geometric vaginal entrances then you might want to think about dating a higher class of women. Personally, I think the cover kicks ass.

Warrant actually had one or two songs I liked, and neither of them are Cherry Pie, I promise you. I hated Cherry Pie and I hated St. Anger too. If Death Magnetic ends up sounding like St. Anger, I'll most likely never buy another Metallica album again.

Cock Rock= Poison, Warrent, Bullet Boys, Metallica AC (After Cliff), and Winger. These bands are cock rock. Even if Metallica was to record the HEAVIEST album of all time they still shit on thier fans for 20 years. I may accept new Metallica tunes as Metal but will never again financialy support them.
  The_Metal_Fan - 2008-07-27 06:34:58
yeah they sold out when they said they would never do so but you should at least give them another chance. Everything up to the Black Album was great and the Black Album had some good songs but after that they turned pussy. They'll never sound the same but i'm still a fan no matter what they do.
  flowingcrimson - 2008-07-26 21:26:47
And something I noticed now that I look at the cover: it looks more like a puckered asshole than a vagina lol.
  flowingcrimson - 2008-07-26 21:24:47
I hope I don't sound like an idiot here for saying this, but I have no fuckin clue what the hell cock rock even is. I DO know that Metallica will MOST LIKELY never sound the same though.
  sclod13 - 2008-07-26 08:18:02
personally i like most of their albums but everything since ...And Justice For All has just been straight ahead rock not metal. Hope Trujillo (i know i probably didn't spell it right) pulls their heads out of their asses and they start doing metal again
  metallica is gay - 2008-07-26 01:39:52
They sold out. Killem all and ride the lightning were their last good albums. wtf was the black album? i mean really.. how can such a legendary thrash band who spoke out about being anti-poser go to such a gay sound? i hope they are emberassed
  snowy white - 2008-07-25 17:19:09
Good concept and I like the return of the old logo. I'm starting to experience feelings of high hopes for this record.
  My Vile Existence - 2008-07-25 14:20:45
Metallica hasn't been Metal since 1988. Lars, James,Kirk, and Robert, please change your name to Unmetallica. Thanks, a fan of TRUE METAL. Cock rock has been heavier than Metallica for twenty years, and I hate cock rock.
