The Metal Community Discusses Our Metallica Performance Coach Interview
THEIR COMMENTERS ARE MORE METAL THAN OUR COMMENTERS.
Earlier this month, Blabbermouth.net, the blog of metal label Roadrunner Records, picked up Pitch writer Peter Rugg's interview with Metallica's Some Kind of Monster/St. Anger-era group psychologist, Phil Towle. Last week, Towle called us to let us know that Lars had read our piece and, according to Towle, liked it.
It's a different story, however, on the forums at Blabbermouth. A few highlights:

Phil Towle is the biggest snake oil salesman in history. Too bad Metallica fell into his trap for months. Glad the band wised up.

He's a good psychologist.
I'm not fond of psycho bable bullshit either.
But the postive effects of Metallica's theropy show on Death Magnetic.
More of this bullshit after the jump.

He has hit straight in the fucking nail. Their 90´s and SA albums will be remembered as SHITTY, NOT GREAT. Sales are not what matters, as I have always said.

Okay this is starting to go too far...who fucking cares what Metallica's former performance coach thinks of the new album??? Christ...I'm starting to dislike the album because so many needless Metallica stories are clogging up the news!

Grown men need a nanny to talk without hurting each other's feelings!?
What's up with James getting tattoos and changing his overall appearance in his 30's when most people do that in their late teens?
Lars seems to be a one dimensional character who only sees things his way and won't explore why others cannot stand him. Napoleon complex? From what I remember, he had a complete breakdown on a plane after his divorce a couple of years back. Interesting...
These guys are uneducated and don't know how to be upfront without fighting like girls.
They're music is not a priority. There's no soul in it. It's just a blob of bullshit riffs and chords put together by guys waiting for a big check from sad consumers that don't know any better.

Metallica should distance themselves as much as possible form this loon! I mean shit, he murdered his former band the Amazinglingtons! Then he thought he was a member of Dethklok!

That guy was pretty funny on their documentary. Didn't he want to start help writing tunes or go on tour with them or some crap like that? You could tell he saw the end of his paychecks and started scrambling to save his job. I like it when they broke the news to him - you could practically see the beach condos and sports cars getting crossed off his wish list. Then they paid Rick Rubin to not be around. These guys are great at throwing money away.
