These are not the most technical or brutal bands out there. These are pop-metal bands. Kirk is so out of touch with what has happened in Metal since the 90s (probably earlier) that he doesn't even realize who the guys are he NEEDS to be intimidated by. His false pride has woven a cocoon for him. He mentions Slipknot and Korn. These are not the most technical or brutal bands out there. These are pop-metal bands.

Maybe Pantera, Lamb Of God, Slipknot, etc. don't match Metallica SALES-WISE, but that's only because Metallica aren't a metal band anymore. Pantera can't touch Hannah Montana's sales either. But as far as ball-crushing heaviness that kicks ass and gets metalheads insanely excited and moshing like rabid vikings, Metallica hasn't had it for over a decade. They SHOULD be intimidated by every young band out there because those bands have ALL taken the best aspects of "old Metallica" and improved on them. EVERYBODY kicks Metallica's ass now. But because Metallica are businessmen first, rather than musicians, they're not intimidated. I was hoping the new Metallica album would be a return to their old style (as they promised), but they're too old, too rich, and too comfortable to kick ass in rage anymore. They can't write another 'Master of Puppets' or 'And Justice For All' because, as the Napster affair proved, Metallica has become the establishment they used to rail against. Hammett is deluded.
