metallica cover!
Could we please ban all the kids who can't think of anything intelligent to say. If you don't like Metallica fair enough but rock music as a whole needs support and bands like Metallica, Maiden, Slipknot, Priest etc help build awareness of the whole genre. In response to the post by Simon Dean, go to school, learn to spell and study music appreciation and religious education.

Nah Iron Maiden did, that's why Metallica covered them on the new Kerrang CD.

Actually Black Sabbath created Metal! but Iron Maiden were a huge influence of Metallica.
There cover is just great best on the CD I think!
The artwork's not bad, I've seen better, but who cares - Rick Rubin doesn't produce bad albums and this will be a return to form for Metallica, I'm sure.
Better than the new Slipknot album, for sure.

Slipknots album is going to be immense.
Definately the best album coming out this year.

Metallica are just too good!
I'll do you a favour and tell you to shut the fuck up! If you don't like the cover, then fine, but this isn't a post to bitch about Metallica's music.
Death Magnetic is gonna be amazing, honest and heavy as fuck.
Bring it on!
And the cover looks awesome! I love hoe Metallica can still surprise me!

*yawn*
I think Kerrang should remove posts that don't have any actual decent opinion or point. Personality cancer is a terrible thing when it strikes. . .

Are Metallica trying to send a message about them being cunts?

Metallica make pussy metal for old people and retards, but i quite like that album art, simple but effective, if not very obvious. No doubt it will suck and the videos will envoke much cursing followed by channel changing yet again whenever they come on MTV, kerrang, Scuzz, wotever, every 10 fucking minutes...snore.....zzzzz

Okay, so I don't hate the older bands at all, but I do think it's about time they moved on and let the more modern bands take their place.
They should have stopped once they reached the top and left it there.
I can just imagine them going really downhill and dropping off the legendary status.
And anyway, back to the topic. That's some simple yet effective artwork. I think it's good.

Since when do bands have to move on to let younger bands take over? There's fuckin loads of young bands around getting big at the moment. Bands like Metallica/Iron Maiden and other bands in different genre's who have been around for a while, take the younger less known bands out on tour with them, thus exposing them to a brand new audience and in some cases helping them break into the mainstream.

I would say Black Sabbath or Deep Purple crreated metal well before either Iron Maiden or metallica.

what are you talking about kiwi? So you think that they guys from metallica should sit around sipping tea and come to the conclusion that 'oh well now that My chemical Romance is on the scene best we retire and let them or maybe that band chad kroeger is in have the limelight' . Idiot.

I don't understand why every opinion column on this page has to become a huge argument and people hurling abuse at bands and each other?
If I walked up to anyone on this page in the street and hurled the kind of abuse at them they dish out they would run a mile. There is no need for it.

Said it before and will say it again. You will never get over the whole debate of my band is better than your band. Every band and cant believe I am even going to say this but even MCR is good in thier own right.
Stick to the topic that is Metallica and not who is better or worse
Album cover is a far cry from the previous albums. Ya not gonna beat Ride the Lightening or Master of Puppets but its different I will give it that. Hope the album delivers but that remains to be seen after the pile of Crap St Anger was
