Rapper Warren G arrested on marijuana charge

Police say he was in a car that ran a red light in Hollywood. Both he and the driver were charged with having enough pot to assume they intended to sell it. Rapper Warren G, whose hits include "Regulate" and a hip-hop remake of "I Shot the Sheriff," was arrested in Hollywood on Sunday on suspicion of possession of marijuana with intent to sell, police said. Warren G, whose real name is Warren Griffin III, was riding in a car driven by Ryan Butler, 29, when they were pulled over about 1:40 a.m. on suspicion of running a red light near Hollywood Boulevard and Wilcox Avenue, said Los Angeles Police Officer Sara Faden. She said officers searched the car and found enough marijuana to arrest them for possession with intent to sell. She said she did not know the exact amount seized. - Read full story on latimes.com

Metallica - First Listen and Reports Of the New Album

“What do the songs sound like? Track one, which is only known by the cryptic working title ‘Flamingo’, opens up on thunderous rolling drums as lead guitar meets them head on, a flaring up in stop-start motion before it pulls itself together in rushes forward in classic thrash style, all crunching ‘Fight Fire With Fire’ riffs and drilling beats. It takes at least two minutes for James Hetfield’s vocals to come in, and while they sound furious, this isn’t the grittiest he’s ever sounded, more open in tone, but while there’s still a memorable vocal line for the ‘chorus,’ and there is so much going on in the song, and so many ideas thrown in and discarded for the next one that it’s hard on first listen to pick out one riff that you’re going to remember it by. But with galloping riffs and the return of guitar breaks rising up from out of the grooves you can hear the true METALLICA spirit, even though its as if reflected in mirrored mosaic.

“Track two is at heart an anthemic ballad that recalls ‘Fight Fire With Fire’ and ‘Nothing Else Matters’, with a chiming guitar intro, airy vocals and some slightly convoluted, progressive-style bridges that mutate into urgent riffing, more galloping riffs and guitar solos. Again, the song has a number of different sections, but it still sounds massive.

“Track three kicks off on a stop-start riff flecked with Eastern touches, as other bustling guitar lines play off each other and Hetfield’s vocals retain the power of old, like some monolithic prophet overlooking events as mid-paced, chugging riffs come in, sounding like an army on the march, methodically shooting anyone in their path.

“Track four is reminiscent of ‘Master Of Puppets’ with more than a touch of heads-down SLAYER pacing thrown in. After an artillery-lobbing drum-led intro, it quickly sets off on marching, thrash mode, Hetfield’s spat vocals taking melodic digressions, as he roars ‘Bow down, surrender unto me.’ The song’s groove carries you along as it opens up into guitar atomospherics that bring LED ZEP to mind. It isn’t quite the kind of irresistible monster they’ve created before, but METALLICA still prove they can still sound lean and epic at the same time, and when the track drops out into the grove mid-way though, you can imagine the chants coming from the crowds live.

“Track five has another strong opening, with an uncharacteristic bouncing groove not a million miles away from RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE making appearances throughout setting off sharp riffs that come up against an irregular barrage of percussion that sets it off briefly on a more melodic path and builds up once again into a thrilling riff-fest mayhem.

“Track six is the ’song’, considerably shorter than the others, but full of clinically sharp riffing, more SLAYER-esque parts and galloping grooves, all hustle and bustle with a tinge of Eastern melody thrown in once more.

“Initial impressions is that this is an album that’s going to get our blood chugging, but whether it’s all we hoped for is going to take more plays to answer. Ultimately we’re hugely relieved and pretty damn thrilled, and we can’t fucking wait to hear the rest.”

Bassist Trujillo Comments On How Heavy The New Metallica Album Is

Greece’s Rock Hard magazine conducted an interview with Metallica bassist Robert Trujillo on May 22, 2007. A couple of excerpts from the chat follow (translated from Greek):

Rock Hard Greece: Could you describe the new album’s sound? Lars Ulrich, just before the release of “St. Anger”, had — very accurately — described it as raw, ugly and unpolished. Can you come up some adjectives for the new album?

Trujillo: “I would say that this is album is dynamic, heavy, groovin’ and you’ll probably be excited to know that there will be guitar solos on it! In addition, Lars remembered to tune his snare drum properly this time! For me, this album incorporates part of the dynamic and character of ‘Master of Puppets’, as well as the melodic style that people liked in the ‘black album,’ as far as the melodies are concerned. As for the general music style, much of the current material is groovy, heavy, dynamic and surely interesting. I would say that it’s different than ‘St. Anger’ — in a good way, of course.”

Metallica lead guitarist Kirk Hammett recently told Austrian web site Krone.at that he thinks the band’s upcoming album is “the best album we’ve put out in, say, fifteen years.” Hammett added that the record contains “just a really spectacular range of songs. This time we’re not afraid to refer to our past music in order to create future music. People will see that we’ve kind of embraced our old vocabulary again and are using that vocabulary to express new things…I think with this album we’re definitely going a little more back into our roots.”

Hammett also hinted that the new record features “a lot of really, really fast songs, a whole lot of really heavy stuff. We changed our approach to writing the songs…There’s a lot of changes that we’ve made, but I believe that they are all for the better.”

The guitarist said that while the band had also written some “slower and melodic” tunes, he wasn’t sure if any would make the final track listing.

Metallica Release date removed from Amazon

listing appears to have been taken down. You can no longer pre-order the new Metallica album. Hopefully its coming out earlier and not delayed.

THREE THINGS WE KNOW FOR SURE ABOUT THE NEW METALLICA ALBUM

What Caught my eye about this story was a possible release date! - Grimpuppy

Story From metalsucks.net
1. It will come out.
2. The band will make a big deal out of announcing its release date when the time comes to do so.
3. It will suck.

I mention these three things because Amazon is currently listing and October 28 release date for the new Metallica album, and, for some reason, this completely unofficial and unuconfirmed non-announcement has been deemed newsworthy, as though online retailers held the answers to all of metal’s release date woes. Which they clearly do not.

People: when there’s a release date to announce, the Metallica machine will hit you over the head with it so many times you’ll wonder why they didn’t just pay you to brand the date on your ass. So just relax already, m’kay?

-AR

Okay here is what I know. !. It well come out 2. Why do I see them doing a special announcement at a party with Britney Spears! 3. I hope it kicks ass - Grimpuppy
