Get your prostate checked. Even if you do blow your load that quickly, you should have recharged a couple of times in 74.5 minutes.

I've heard three tracks now and have been massively underwhelmed by all of them. The riffs are lazy and the only good thing about any of them is Kirk's soloing.
It says a lot about Metallica today when part of Cyanide is just a re-worked bit of "Blackened", the riff that comes in at the end of The Song That Never Ends (or whatever it's called) is just a rejigged "The Trooper" and the title "My Apocalypse" has been nicked from Arch Enemy.

I'm not filled with awe and anticipation and if they think they can squeeze me for £80 for that fucking box set they can think again!

Gee.... I don't know about the rest of you guys, but lately the only things that truly motivate me are erections and bowel movements.

Thank the Police coming straight from the underground...

Oh, his solos still follow the same old formula and sound like they're not quite in tune but they're the only thing that make me go "oh, that wasn't bad" in each song.

Kirk's solos are wank tbh

The same pentatonic burst every single time combined with a wah pedal to disguise the fact he can't even play it properly

Exactly, I love Metallica but Kirk is just an awful lead guitarist.

It's quite hard to believe Joe Satriani was his guitar teacher at one point.
