Death Magnetic's musicianship.
Here's how it went down:
Lars: So, yeah, I'd like to do some experimental stuff with the toms and double bass, and maybe even...
James: *smacks Lars with a rolled up newspaper*
Lars: What the hell was that for?
James: You do the same thing you've been doing for the past 20 years and you do it NOW!
*repetitive bass, bass, snare, bass, bass, bass, snare pattern plays a number of times with varying speeds*
James: That's more like it.

Rob: *stares at bass guitar in confusion*. James?
James: Yeah, Rob?
Rob: How the fuck do you get this thing to make noise?
James: Oh, that's simple. See, this is a reverse bass, which means you have to UNplug it from the amp to hear it.
Rob: Oh, thanks James. Wait, where the fuck are you going with my amp? James?
*James runs out of room clutching Rob's bass amp. Giggling to himself*

Kirk: So, should I start writing the leads now?
James: Writing? New music? Nah, just copy licks from Master and Justice.
Kirk: Sounds like a plan.

James: I have done thy work, my master.
????: Splendid. Soon, Rick Rubin will be ashamed of your shoddy new record, and his career will be buried in the dust.
James: Then what shall happen?
????: Then? Then...I, Bob Rock, will rain supreme!
*maniacal laughter*
James: But, master, what will become of Metallica?
Bob Rock: Oh, you guys are fucked.
