 God Forbid guitarist Doc Coyle has issued the following update:
"I'm not sure if anyone cares about what I have to say on the
matter, but I have to say that I am feeling the new METALLICA songs.
First, we heard a live version of 'Cyanide' from Ozzfest. I wasn't
really that into it, but it was a live version with not much production
so I reserved judgement. Than a high quality version of the live
performance was released, and the song began to grow on me.
Then 'The Day That Never Comes' is released as the single. I really
didn't like this song much at first. Seemed not too hooky and overlong.
A week and a half goes by, and I listen to the tracks again and
I'm grooving out and enjoying the melodies and the overall vibe. Today,
Metallica released another new song 'My Apocalypse' which I liked
instantly.
My point is that some of my favorite records were ones that didn't
grab me immediately, but had to grow on me. I think Metallica's back
catalog is so ingrained into our collective musical blueprint, that
it's almost difficult to consider adding something new or unfamiliar
into that context.
I just can't wait to get the whole record and put this theory to
test. The songs may be a little bloated. It does seem a bit like "And
Justice For Load..." but it might not be a bad thing. We'll see."
