GOD FORBID's DALLAS COYLE On METALLICA: 'They Are Richer Than F**king God'

August 28, 2008

GOD FORBID guitarist Dallas Coyle has written the latest entry for his weekly column on MetalSucks, "The Hard R." In this installment, Dallas shares his thoughts on METALLICA, the new songs, and the influence of METALLICA on his music. An excerpt from the blog follows.

"METALLICA's new album doesn't have to be and shouldn't be expected to be the best thing since sliced bread. HELLO, THEY DID THAT SHIT ALREADY! Oh, and they are richer than fucking God. When they put their debit cards in the ATM machine the infinity sign stares back at them. Would you write a good record if you didn't have to worry about paying your bills or find that "anger-muse" that allows you to be so EDGY?

"Fuck all that.

"The new songs aren't the best songs in the world. But METALLICA has already created all the songs they need to make their live shows amazing. Vince and I were discussing whether METALLICA is a legacy act. I think they are. He thinks they aren't. That's up for discussion. Maybe someone has to pass away for any of us to get some real perspective on the bigness of METALLICA. I'm not wishing for anything, just for the record...

"By the way, Lars is not a good drummer. Shut up about it already."
