Metallica Lights Up Fortnite with a New Music Experience, Festival Season, and More!

[Chomiq]

Business is business. Making money is not a bad thing. But my personal gripe here is....



...THIS!! WTAF is this crap?!? The world does not need the band members of Metallica recreated in LEGO! It's a contradiction in ideals and cultural significance.

Lego band members of Def Lappard? Hell yeah!
Lego band members of Journey? Alright!
Lego Avril Lavigne? Sweet!
Lego band members of A-Ha? Great!

But Metallica in Lego? Seriously?? Why not do KISS or Ozzy Osborne in Lego while we're at it..

Just saying...

Rage the machine isn't providing more fiber!! Not optic, the poo kind, getting old is hard.


The last Metallica album that was good was S&M. Since then is been solwly softer stools. Much like the now Rage with the machine, F U do what they tell you, bran flakes and hip replacement..... The whole 90s scene sold out to fame, money and the machine.

How exactly is it a contradiction in ideals and cultural significance? Youre OK with Def Leopard, Journey, Avril and A-Ha but not Metallica? Seems like you just want to jump on the Metallica hate bandwagon.

Wow. This makes me think Steve Jobs missed the opportunity to make the iCasket before his passing.

And you wouldnt? Thats laughable. 72 Seasons is a great album.

Why stop there. Let's get shady aftermath on the bandwagon and recreate 8-mile in Lego form.

Once again, my sense of humor might have been a tad too subtle... I was totally joking! Given the alternate musician choices I thought that would have been obvious? Maybe not.

I've, until now, avoided this thread for that very reason. There is no space in my mind that includes Metallica, Fortnite and LEGO. I see that world does exist but I don't want to visit there.

I'm on my 3rd go around in life at (trying to) just flat-out ignoring anything (quote-unquote) "popular".
'Not even 'hipster' about it anymore, just tired and fed-up with the nonsense...

 

[Vayra86]

Its popular these days, the 'franchise X franchise' bullshit.

Most of it is... eh... why

 

[Veseleil]

Funny, but this discussion made me listen through one of the best albums in the genre again. So thanks I guess.

Could be my fault as well. I completely miss sarcasm cues on the internet all the time unless designated with a "/s".

Agreed. Avril Lavigne's cultural significance FAR outweighs Metallicas.

The last Metallica album that was good was S&M. Since then is been solwly softer stools. Much like the now Rage with the machine, F U do what they tell you, bran flakes and hip replacement..... The whole 90s scene sold out to fame, money and the machine.

You mean the "lazily add an orchestra to songs not made for orchestra" albums? No Leaf Clover is really good, but in every other respect it's "let's add an orchestra to a thing not made to have an orchestra". St Anger came from some place at least, they were trying to do something real with it. Their later stuff (and S&M) never struck me as anything other then "let's try to find our way to Our Roots", meaning "we're out of ideas".

Which isn't to say I blame them for it. If I was a financially and culturally comfortable old man I probably wouldn't see a reason to go to cool places. Maybe a child of a band member should die, or something, and then maybe we would get cool music again. The band have the skill and James have the talent for lyrics; a little push might be all it takes.

Funny, but this discussion made me listen through one of the best albums in the genre again. So thanks I guess.

LET'S BE CLEAR, Metallica encompass several genres. I agree with you, but I still think And justice for all is their best work.

NGL, it nailed the "Heavy Metal" bit, but seems it only knows album covers

 

[AsRock]

Well.. dammit.

Anything for a buck

Any thing ?, getting your music heard in a large player base game why the uck not ?. I wish more music i like was in more games although i despise Fortnight figures.

Although they do need to find their roots although i am one that all so liked the Black album and a fan of their older stuff too. How ever their latest i cannot get to in to tbh

They don't lack exposure though and are already richer than hell or should be at this point. On top of the endless better options. It's cringe levels of shallow open cash grab greed from both parties involved.

And that is why I made the joke. It's just so bizarre!

That's fair. I thought I was giving a few vocabulary hints, but this is not the first time my quirky attempts at humor have been missed or misunderstood.. No worries!

The Master of Puppets awaits…
