Isn't it funny.... Metallica are still selling out concerts after 30 years, but according to all the bedroom weekend warrior guitarists on the internets, they are terrible.....
Maybe you all should stop trying to be the judge and just enjoy the music. If you don't enjoy it, then here's an idea... don't listen and don't comment.
I don't care one way or the other about Metallica. But you can't really go by the "selling out concert" logic to determine how talented people are can you?
If so, that means that Bon Jovi, Pink, Rihanna, Taylor Swift, One Direction, Justin Bieber, Madonna, Jay Z, Justin Timberlake, Maroon 5, Lady Gaga, etc. are all better than Metallica, since their tours are far more successful.

So...just to be clear, you believe people shouldn't make comments about things they do not like. Which, unless I'm reading you post incorrectly, is exactly what you did. Or rather is it that you believe that negative comments shouldn't be made about things that you like?
I must agree with GaryRitchie's summation of your logic.

Firstly, I implied that a band is still selling out shows which means they are successful professionals. So if selling out concerts and millions of albums is not a measure of success then please by all means, show us what you or the critiques have accomplished that is a better representation of success. You say all those bands are better than Metallica, because their tours are more successful... I could say a bunch of stuff too, but without proof it's just an opinion.
2ndly, YES, Metallica are very talented. It got them where they are, and it keeps them up there. You can disagree all you want, but you can't argue facts. Just because their music is not overly difficult to play or overly complicated does not diminish that a talented group wrote, recorded, marketed, sold, and toured their music successfully for over 30 years, and continue to do so. What this means is, regular people (read : the majority of fans) are not listening to hear where the mistakes are so they can judge the bands viability...... instead people are going to a concert and enjoying the show for the music, and the show, and perfection doesn't even enter into the equation until you have a bunch of weekend warrior "semi-pro's" critiquing.
Here is the series of events..
A guy starts a thread about a band/genre he is excited about, while watching a live airing, and wants to discuss their equipment on the forums of the company's product they are exclusively using. Then instead of that, he gets a technical play by play of every little mistake, nuance, or anything not 100% perfect of the performance thrown in his face, and the bashing of the band/genre's talent and viability ensues. One guy decides to school them on their bad etiquette and none the less, the belittling of the band continues.
I never said you shouldn't take part in a discussion just because you don't like something, in fact a healthy debate is great, however, this is not whats happening here.

I mean i can tell you my main guitar tone is a lot more brutal and life what I get from my Axe-fx II, its just the way they tweaked and like their preset tones, depends on how they wanted it to sound(amp, cab,effects and all). For sure we can discuss here how it sounded to us but there are more points of view then, you know its a live mix,unedited too, so for example there were also parts you can't hear Kirk singing because the mic was off or set too quiet in the mix, there are some little mistakes at any event. But sometimes things like that make it more real abd unique to me, tough work behind concerts and that big shows for everyone involved. I had much fun watching Metallica last night, they sound awesome instead of a show i saw a few years back!! Just wanted to ask if they used the Axe-fx there too, so 100%!! Good to know from Cliff! \m/Why aren't we allowed to make comments on Metallica? To me the guitar sound is good but a bit lifeless. Not sure how to describe it or what it is. The bass is too soft in the mix for my taste and also I miss the aggressive edgy tone.
