      That statement puts me madly in Anger with you. Yes I’m madly in Anger with you. Madly in Anger with you.

      I am not a t swift fan. I have eclectic tastes. I like experimental music, jazz, electronic music, some avant-pop, indie, underground rap etc.

      That said, she is significantly more talented than any of the guys in Metallica. Like Metallica, you’ve always sucked…. You’re also divorced dad pop.

      Metallica is like AC/DC…. A t shirt brand sold at wal-mart..

      Metallica is ultimately responsible for yarling, so thanks for nickleback and shit. Metallica shut down file-sharing.

    3. “Old man thinks current generations likes are dumb, more at 11” – I mean it’s not the most original of opinions. Older people have said the same of his music during their time.

    4. Is he just really mad about the writing on her last album?

      I didn’t know he was such a Swiftie

      I think there is a lot of shit pop music made these days . Also some good pop music. In the 80’s when these folks got popular there was a lot of shit pop music. There was also some great pop music .

      Personally I don’t think Metallica has been good at writing songs since the early 90s

      Well, Taylor Swift’s music has sucked for years, he’s not lying there. That Showgirl album is complete ass — shit songwriting and vocals. Not that his is any better, though.

      He says from his tour bus after a show, where people paid to see him play songs he wrote 30-40 years ago and grimaced while he played their more recent ones

      There is no “controversy” regarding a stupid shirt. There’s only people who don’t care at all and people who care way way too much.

      I’d rather listen to Life of a Showgirl than St. Anger, Death Magnetic, or LuLu. I don’t think her worst nearly touches Metallica’s worst.

      He must be venting his own frustrations. Because Metallica hasn’t had a good album in decades.

      Considering they haven’t written a decent song since 1987, this a bold statement.

      Metallica can get fucked, they will never be forgiven for what they did to Napster.

      Somebody please ask the swifty if he’s heard how crappy the last few Metallica albums have been.

    15. Metallica hasn’t put out an album I’ve liked during Taylor Swift’s 36 year lifetime
