Granted, we can't know wh...Jewel is... iffy to me. Granted, we can't know whether the reasons she gives for doing POP are whole-hearted, though of course, we'd like to believe them. And then following the pop genre, she's gone country. So... evolution? Maybe. Following where the musical "need" is at that point in time? More likely.<BR/><BR/>I *do* have to say that Metallica's changes in musical style haven't followed any apparent trends, IMO. But, obviously, to each their own. =)<BR/><BR/>You know me - everyone WILL have and DESERVES an opinion. And I will listen to any and all references supporting that opinion. I just don't like dealing with blind stabs at making a point that's unbacked, ya know?Larissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00988607299721456414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8076034961537542421.post-71764112990697524272008-09-18T23:39:00.000-05:002008-09-18T23:39:00.000-05:00Well in my defense, Ive always hated Metallica. Bu...Well in my defense, Ive always hated Metallica. But Im sure we could go rounds about how I feel they are sell outs, but I think that could apply to most musical "talent" these days. I mean Jewel lived out of her car to feed her talent and stay true to herself, but now she has a pop album. What about that seems like musical evolvement?Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08623331584286203953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8076034961537542421.post-64825040571499835402008-09-18T21:11:00.000-05:002008-09-18T21:11:00.000-05:00Aww, VAL!

I’m a fan because when I hear “En...I am a true fan. I’m a fan because when I hear “Enter Sandman” I’m taken back to that time when it came out, sitting in someone’s backyard having wine coolers. I’m a fan because, even though I miss James Hetfield’s hair, I see him and I’m reminded of him grabbing the microphone and rasping out “Sad but true” “Nothing Else Matters”etc. I remember standing in a long ass line at a porter pot and then just holding it for 2 hours until we got to a Mickey Dee’s after their concert. <BR/>I agree with your declaration of musician evolvement. It seems to me like they’re damned if they do and they’re damned if they don’t. <BR/><BR/>Meh. We true fans know the haters are idiots.Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12525264720105877075noreply@blogger.com
