Jonathan Davis Comments On Metallica's 'St. Anger'

KoRn vocalist Jonathan Davis recently gave Swedish journalist Martin Carlsson his opinion on Metallica's latest album "St. Anger". "I think it's the shittiest thing I ever heard in my life!" he said. "I respect those guys immensely since some of those songs are great. Some of that shit sounds like it's beginners' shit. I understand they're going for a new raw and heavy sound, but that's just shit. I don't get it. I like some of the songs, it's cool and it's not [me] talking shit [about them] at all, but the production is just horrible. I know what they're trying to get across, but Lars [Ulrich]'s snare drum is the most irritating thing I've heard in my whole life."

I'm starting to have more respect for KoRn now that Jonathan said that.
