Metallica Inc.

[DisposableHeroes]

i see what you mean there,every Metallica album sounds different(par Load/Re-load)

[Kingofdudes]

Woah, a massive post. Sorry. Just hope it wasn't too boring.

good post though :thumb:

[Black Death]

I'm sorry, bamboomonkey, but I had that feeling throughout your post that you are trying to prove to me what I have been claming... You read my post? I said nearly the same thing, just using other words. It was that Metallica were wasting their potential on doing money instead of music, and it was about how great they were before Bob Rock has ever entered their musical life... I think that the main cause of that waste of potential is the fact that something(I wouldn't mention Bob Rock's name) has pushed them to change the style to something that didn't fit them. When I say I want the old metallica back, I'm not speaking about surprises, I'm speaking about more physical and material ways, like songs that are melodic, and not rythmic, songs that have meaning, songs that can be shamelessly called a musical , and lyrical, composition, and not songs that are made on the fly while being blown by the fan that broke into your recording studio, and in the same time under your producer's yellings of "Faster, more brutal, comon!". I don't really give a **** about what style they would play, let it be the same hardcore rock they have done in the latest St.Anger, just let it be some resemblance of what once could be called a genious and phenomenal band. Plus, I never said that Load/ReLoad and St.Anger didn't contain good songs. They maybe do, and Loads most certainly are, BUT, the part of bad songs takes the majority,like it never has in the past, look:
Kill 'Em All - Definately not my prefferance, but still, I should say 10 out of 10 good songs, really.
Ride the Lightning - DEFINATELY 8/8 perfect, genious, quality tracks.
Master of Puppets - Again, 8/8 very good songs, with very good both musical and lyrical compositions.
...And Justice For All - For me, the 9/9 best songs here. Great lyrics along with a hardcore thrash metal sound, with great drum tracks(Although I should say I always respected Lars as a drummer. Very unique for he does not push on himself too hard as many drummers do, but let the drums fit with the music.) along with very good guitar tracks/solos, the best solo Kirk hammet has ever written(One), very powerfull instrumental track, etc...
Black Album - 12/12 very powerfull and in the same time not too powerfull songs, all very well composed. This album, IMO is the one in which they played the best as an ensamble, although the overall level of playing wasn't as high as in the previous ones.

Now comes the fall:
Load - 10/14 songs are good, IMO, which is not bad, but compared to the previous 100% success is surely a degeneration of some sort...
ReLoad - 9/13 songs. Again, not that bad of an overall album, but, well, it's still not close to the previous ones...
Garage Inc.(I dunno if you count that, but doing covers is some sort of musical compositions) - 7/27 tracks are good. That sucks mother****ing god**** ****ty ***!!!
St.Anger - I would say 0/11, but maybe "The Unnamed Feeling" is worth something..? Or "Sweet Amber"? Still, songs with no meaning, no music, and just Lars, beating the hell out of my brains with those snares!

See the big fall? I think they would never recover it... They should learn when to retreat... In the long run, they will all find themselves with a new musical career, I think - Lars can go to poetry, Kirk can write musical compositions, and perform as a solo guitarist, James can play guitar pretty god**** well, too, and can write great lyrics, so, another band, if available, and Rob, well, as he almost dropped the buisness completely, that wouldn't be a big loss for him... BTW, I heared Kirk actually thought about leaving, and IMO, if he did, that would be grate for all of Metallica... Sorry...

[bamboomonkey]

I did read your post, but I suppose I maybe did rehash some of your ideas, but I was trying to put some of my own ideas into it.

At any rate though, Metallica won't really our opinions on board, no matter how relevant or great they sound to us, because it's not for us to say what they do, because we aren't in the band. If it's already been said or is just so obvious it might make everyone fall off their chair then I am sorry.

But hey, I saw the trailer for Some Kind Of Monster (us Brits aren't good enough to get movies around the same time as America, I guess) and they did jam around one riff that wasn't mind bendingly awful, and I actually thoght it was probably better than Frantic. I did clasp my head in my hands and shout "WHAAT?!" when James said he didn't feel anything for it when it had more groove and power to it than Dirty Window and all the rest of it...

[Black Death]

I thought about it too: This topic is overpopular, and we're not the first and the last to discuss it, so as I can't see anything else to discuss about it, I think we should just drop it...

[rocked not rolled]

I get the feeling from the song "creeping death" metallica are a bit on the anti-jew side. Can anyone confirm this or explain?

[suspect]

I get the feeling from the song "creeping death" metallica are a bit on the anti-jew side. Can anyone confirm this or explain?

Why? To me it just seems like its from the first person perspective of the angel of death that god sent to kill every first born son in egypt. Excellent song by the way.

Edit: Also I found this from a song meaning site: The inspiration for this song was the movie The Ten Commandments, starring Charlton Heston as Moses. In the movie, the Angel of Death is represented by a green cloud. When bass player Cliff Burton saw it, he thought it looked like "Creeping Death."

[Orion7]

Black Ibanez is right... the song is just telling the story through the eyes of the Angel of Death as portrayed in the movie and in the Bible. Saying that Metallica is anti-semitist is like saying that Slayer is too because of their lyrics in "Angel of Death." Some people look at that song and see a pro-concentration camp thrash piece, when its really about how brutal that stuff was.

[Mr. Yankee]

i bit off topic but only 1 out of 6000 people looked at this and didnt post something

[drummin_666]

Who cares. Creeping Death is my absolute favorite song

[\m/Pete\m/]

It was that Metallica were wasting their potential on doing money instead of music

St.Anger - I would say 0/11, songs with no meaning

Ok first off i hate when people talk about the whole "money/sellout/cashtallica" subject. Out of all the times ive heard people say that they've given me a good enough reason as to why. Lots of people blame it on bob rock, but think about this...Bob works for Metallica, not the other way around. If the band didnt like the music they were playing, they wouldnt play it and would find a different producer that would let them play what they wanted. Metallica has always been about doing what they want and how they want. Simple as that.

Also to say St. Anger is made up of songs with no meaning is not a solid statement at all. If you have actually listened to the lyrics then you wouldnt have said that...I dont have the time right (ok i do but im lazy) to transcribe all their songs off of SA, but seriously take a moment or two to listen to the lyrics and im sure you can figure out the rest.

Also Tom Araya's family is Jewish and he goes to church/synagog often...just a lil useless piece of info

[RavenousMetalist87]

Also Tom Araya's family is Jewish and he goes to church/synagog often...just a lil useless piece of info

holy **** I didn't know that...seriously I didn't

That's not useless...I just learned something.

Also, Kerry King doesn't believe in God, so therefore he can't believe in Satan.

He said it himself in the Sept. Issue of Guitar World.

[Kingofdudes]

yeah Ive heard that Araya is a very religious person, or is that hanneman(sp?)?

[Satan's Son]

Do you think Metallica are gonna make a greatest hits?

[DimebagDarrell]

Do you think Metallica are gonna make a greatest hits?

without a doubt

and whoever said it araya is the religious one not hanneman

[Kingofdudes]

ahhh ok thanks

[bamboomonkey]

Slayer facts (not Metallica but being discussed)

Tom Araya is actually Catholic, as he was born and raised in Chile, which is a strongly catholic country.

Guess it was just a slayer fact then.

Oh, and Jeff Hanneman got the idea for Angel Of Death because he read a book on Dr Mengele whilst on tour (for Hell Awaits, I think).

[Firecracker]

so many people love metallica. and how many people love pantera?
and i think they are definately the better band.

[Kingofdudes]

I dont like Pantera, I've given Cowboys from Hell, Vulgar Display of Power, and Far Beyond Driven plenty of chances, and they just dont appeal to me.

[Firecracker]

good-o.

[superpeer]

I wouldn't buy it, I have most of their albums. :-/

Oh alright then. And yes it's a good song :thumb:

[Riffmeister9]

S&M is sort of a greatest hits but it's live and wasn't for greatest hits purposes. I don't like greatest hits albums. Something I've noticed about greatest hits albums is that bands only do them when their carrier slows down and they need something to cash out on. Hopefully Metallica doesn't come out with one any time soon.

[alcoholocaust]

How is the movie? (No, I did NOT read all 100,000 posts.)

[c_rogue68]

does anybody else like "King Nothing" from Load? The first time I heard it was Live at a concert in April...I was like..."WTF is this song?"....I think I was the only one not singing to it...then I looked up the lyrics that I remembered, downloaded the song, and came to like it.

[metjulio]

how many posts are there in this site????

anyway i just wanna post my favourite song in each album, cuz i love almost all of them...

Kille´m all- anesthesia, there is something about that bass solo that makes you feel it saying f*ck u with it a thousand times,
ride the lightning- obviously Fade to black. I think there wasnt anything like it until they released it, but im not sure...
master of puppets- a triple match between orion, sanitarium an MoP.
...and justice for all- blackened. Theres just something about that intro solo
metallica- i know it sounds strange but my favourite is of wolf and man. That song makes feel like a **** wolf it really does
load- bleeding myself, that song is so chilling yet so emotionally charged you realiza why metallica is metallica
reload- fuel is fast paced and pumps u up for the rest of the day
garage inc- tuesdays gone
s&m- just 2 songs to pick fom but definetely no leaf clover
st anger- ..... maybe sweet amber, but i think theyve let us down this time.


My favorite member is james, he is cool

i signed up as a member just to post in this thread " viva metallixa"

[Facsimile]

Wow! What a stunning revelation![/sarcasm]

Everyone says S&M is kind of a 'best of' but it sure doesn't have the songs I'd want in a 'best of' of theirs.

[metjulio]

I have been arguing a theory of mine with my band and anyone else within proximity whilst I am drunk, so let's see how everyone else takes this...

Metallica for their first five albums were THE groundbreaking band. They helped invent the thrash metal genre, the most brutal music of the time, as even Napalm Death had yet to release 'Scum', they then abandoned the genre and invented their own sound and style, notably on the openly progressive MOP and ...AJFA.

Then they did the unthinkable and took metal into the mainstream, and at the same time brought in an emotional introspection that had not been truly done prior to the Black Album.

However, after this, as most fans will agree, they chased the mainstream with the Load and Reload albums.

My theory is that St. Anger is to a certain extent an evolution of this mainstream chasing. Is it a coincedencethat whilst mimsy rock ruled the roost they released the sonic abortion that is the 'Load'-era, but the minute that heavy metal hits the charts, they feel the need to return to the roots that so many of the current chart toppers claim to have influenced them?

hell maybe it's just me, and if you 'Tallica die hards want to crucify me, I would rather you did it with a sensibe and coherent arguement rather than just bellowing poorly spelt obscenities. Also, let's not have all the jazzers just slagging Metallica because they don't like metal. I would really like just a sensible and friendly debate.

Then we can all talk in clever speak and impress the pants off of any nearby members of the opposite sex.

hell metallica did adapt themselves as they grew older. maybe that is why most of us sort of stopped loving them. they have become just another band, not metallica anymore. Still, i keep hope. They cant let St anger be their last album. so let us pray and wait for a great metallica album :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

[metjulio]

about Apocalyptica:
listen to them, they give songs like MoP and enter sandman a really weird ****ing twist

a thougth, maybe after black album we felt metallica started to worsen because black album is their high peak, there is no way they would do better. although, killem all is far better then St anger if you ask me, so maybe they are getting worse

[metjulio]

spiral of death, congrats, the best thread ever

[Facsimile]

maybe after black album we felt metallica started to worsen because black album is their high peak
No. In your opinion it was their peak. In my opinion the first four albums are better than the Black Album in every aspect. Except maybe the lyrics on Kill 'Em All.

[Reidie86]

Metallica r the reason i got into metal, and i still believe that their first 4 or 5 albums are completley essential to any metal cd collection ( even if they did use sum of dave mustaines material on Kill 'em all and ride the lightning.... not the place for this discussion??) Any way, St Anger is a huge dissapointment, not only because its production was a joke ( i have no idea why u would deliberatly underprodue any album), but because is lyrics suck too (invisibe kid, never seen what he did, got stuck were he hid,..... somthing about a grid - its a bloody joke :D) . When i saw metallica live earlier this year i realised that as much as albums like load make me want to say that metallica r past it, they r still ripping it up on stage - they deffinatly still have what it takes. Also one positive that comes from st angers poor production is that the tracks on the album sound way better than on the album when there played live!

[Hardest_Rocker]

Wow, alotta *Official*threads these days.
I think I found the dumbest person on earth recently (concerning music). He made this statement about Metallica "All that this awful band does is just play guitair solos, cause thats all they can do." What an idiot! They suck cause "all" they do is play solos? Solos are one of the hardest things to do on guitar so even if that is all the do, they'd still be gods. Look at Joe Satriani for instance. He was a solo dispenser that couldnt stop. Did he suck? Hell no. Thinks he knows what hes talking about but I wanna punch his ignorant face. Plus his name was PUNK Rocker. No wonder. Hes into power chords repeated and whining little boys. Some people. :upset:

I'm no punk fan but i have to say it isn't all power cords and whinning. You are a little hypocritical to say that this guy is ignorant about your style when you just said about his that was ignorant yourself.

RIDE THE LIGHTNING!!!

Greatest song AND album!

[SilenceNOmorE]

Jeez, someone should clear this thread out and start all over again. 242 pages? That's a bit of a joke.

I believe that Metallica are the best band in the world BECAUSE they keep changing. Even if Load/Reload/St Anger suck (which i personally think they don't, not compared to 90% of the other bands out there...) then at least they haven't benn pumping out the exact same style of music for 20 years e.g Slayer. I like Slayer, but quite frankly, it's all the same.

[Riffmeister9]

What i have said all along.

[Hardest_Rocker]

RIDE THE LIGHTNING!!!

Greatest song AND album!

dunno bout that. Its great dont get me wrong but I think And Justice for All and Puppets have better songs.

Battery, MOP, Sanitarium, Orion, AND JUSTICE FOR ALL!!, Blackened, One, To Live is to Die, Dyers Eve, Damage, Inc, Disposible Heros

Lightning has great guitar but the singing on it is kinda weird. Its growing on me though. IMO the best 3 on RTL are Fade to Black, Call of Ktulu and Fight Fire With Fire

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

woo hoo i finally pulled off the Creeping Death solo after about an hour n a half i got it down to where i can play along with the cd :) really fun stuff, Kirk's leads are always very flavorfull and enjoyable to play.

I agree but i still wish a solo could be found on St Anger, not to mention the drums are very strange. I hope their next album blows all of us away. All they need is to stop the Drop C thing, have solos, and fix the drums and youve got good music in the 00's :amaze: which these days is almost unheard.

Sorry is this has been asked already, but i don't have time to read 6000+ posts.

Anyway, what is the best Metallica music video out there?

IMO it's 'I Dissapear' very cool clip indeed.

[Squirrel]

I just realised that Metallicas videos are pretty dull - nothing much to them.

Suppose my favorite would be, *thinks*, Nothing Else Matters - i just liked seeing them as people rather than their musician persona.

After that, i think I Disappear was the second best.


BTW, welcome to the boards Licka' :)

Ok, I don't mean to mess you guys up, but I was defending the band like hell and now that I realised that they are overrated and real sell-outs... I really have to face it.

I Disappear is a **** good video :D

And why do people ask those that say that Metallica = Sell outs to watch SKOM? I don't think I'll ever get SKOM over here...

1. You have a Metallica avatar.

Not at all.

[GraveRobbersINC]

Wow you really need to get some Rust in Peace, guitar ok!? Blasphemy!

[Jester.Race]

Mustaine's voice is horrifying. It takes a lot of getting used to. Most of their solos are great, but I prefer Metallica. Plus Mustaine is a whiny bitch, more so than Lars.

I also don't think Megadeth can even approach Metallica in the heaviness aspect.

i know nowon really cares but is anyone one going ot the metallica concert october 6th at the acc in toronto??

I dont mean to get all u mettalica fans mad but their new stuff sux( ever since they cut their hair). The reason i am a little bit interested in them is that robert is an waesome bassist

Artists should play because they enjoy making music, not to make billions of dollars. Maybe some people like there music and don't have enough money to buy all of there favorite artists cd's. They make plenty of money off cd's, merchandise, and concerts to complain.

[TallicaChic]

I don't think the guys were viewing it as poor people not having enough money to buy cd's...how would they have a computer, or internet and things like that? They shouldn't want to try and steal from their fav band. Or bootleg unreleased material. It is about the music for them..along with many other older bands. People should get off the whole napster thing. It's old. Along with how the St. Anger cd sucks, (which it doesn't).

[Captain Jack Sparrow]

^ Yes it does. Kirk Hammett showed no talent on that album. That's not an arguable point.

[TallicaChic]

So What? He didn't feel like putting any solo's into it..didn't think it felt right..give him a freakin break. He wanted to just relax and enjoy playing without worrying about them. just beause a song or album doesn't have solo's doesn't mean it sucks.

[Steve M.]

There are solos in the St Anger songs when they play them live :thumb: it was so cool.

[bassman03]

are metallica gonna call it day after the next studio album????

the mind boggles

[ccrraazzyy]

i do not like metallica very much.....THE JUST WONT DIE. I cannot see how they are so popular. Sorta like ac/dc just another mainstream band that won call it quits

']Plus, the song that got out was a song that they were still working on and it wasnt finalized material.

it was also illegal too

[Kingofdudes]

Artists should play because they enjoy making music, not to make billions of dollars.

Artists do this because they are making it and it is their job. Its kind of like if you grew plants for a living and everyone just took them saying since it came from the earth, they shouldnt need to pay for them. If your gonna say "Well they already got more than enough money" its still their product.

Maybe some people like there music and don't have enough money to buy all of there favorite artists cd's. They make plenty of money off cd's, merchandise, and concerts to complain

If you got the money for a computer, as far as im concerned you got money for CDs. You would be surprised to see how little an artist makes off a Cd, because they have to pay off their label before they can break even.

']Is it true that Lars didnt want solos in St. Anger because it was drowning out hid drumming or something? I heard that from somewhere, I forgot where though.

I dunno, but I heard that they felt that the solos they had didnt go with the music well so they dropped them

mayb they just got bored of doing long solos in most songs, and decided to have a change.

i havent read a GW for a while since I dont have the money, and I would usually read someone else's from school.

[fenderbender89]

depends on era of metallica you are talking about Kill 'em all-And justice, Black-Reload, or St. Anger. There are very good songs from each era (exept St. Anger IMO) and each song from the different eras are very different.

How about SEEK AND DESTROY :thumb:
Thats a really good song.

hey this is to everyone who says kirk hammett was overrated and such and isnt as good as whoever. well i just wanna let you know that kirk said himself that he didnt want to compete for the best guitarist and be in with the controversy surrounding the way he used to play a how he does now. in 1996 he said that he didnt want to showoff anymore. to hear him showoff listen to hit the lights and if you dont know what that is then you can all stfu

to focus on singing? His voice is much more developed after AJFA IMO.

[Warheart1726]

but i think hetfeild was actually good at soloing he didnt need to focus that much just to throw a little lead in but whatever he still has that nasty right hand **** down ha

[Kingofdudes]

but i think hetfeild was actually good at soloing he didnt need to focus that much just to throw a little lead in but whatever he still has that nasty right hand **** down ha

actually i think hetfield does the nothing else matters solo, not sure though.

[Warheart1726]

Yeah i think i saw a video of him recording it but im not sure either

[Ramsey]

Whoa, holy crap, this thread is still going strong.


Ok, I'll leave now. :(

[Riffmeister9]

Yes Hetfeild does the solo on Nothing Else Matters, which is a awsome solo, he does it live, if anyone has the S&M DVD you can see him do it live on a overdriven acoustic.

[UAStokie]

I have a book on the art of Kirk Hammett with alot of his solos but I am having trouble understanding all the formulas that he uses. In the book it has E Pentatonic Minor, E Dorian, and E Aeolian in it. I need some help.

[wibur]

metallica are an awesome band and i love their old stuff......Justice for all!! it was even better getting to see them in concert twice!! no other concert will be as good as that

[bassman03]

in my opinion metallicas best stuff was when cliff was still about, not that i didnt like newstead cause i also think he is a good bassist but cliff was the man!!!!!

p.s dont like rob and never will

[bassman03]

and yes hetfield does the solo on nothing else matters ;)

[GaryDaNoTrashCougar]

no idea but hes the one that writes solos for hammit

[DisposableHeroes]

She's with him for the money i bet.

[The Bell Tolls]

maybe she didnt like st.anger? lol, not really.

[DisposableHeroes]

yeah, "lars honey, i like St.Anger as much as you have hair left" you can almost hear the divorce papers rustle in the wind

[superpeer]

i agree

any idea why he divorced his wife of so many years?

The girlfriend maybe? :amaze:

[DisposableHeroes]

an affair you say?

[Squirrel]

I think its because of the amount of touring they do.

[GaryDaNoTrashCougar]

I think its because of the amount of touring they do.
That's most likely the reason IMO.

The Four Horsemen(I like the song)
Damage Inc.
Fuel(Popular song though I don't like it...)
...And Justice For All

Dyer's Eve isn't an instrumental

[ROKKIPAPPA]

HAH! if metallica made a greatest hits thing i'd die! i don't think they ever will (hope ey don't) or maybe when they die....... people shouldn't have to go that low. i reallyreally respect metallica & LOOOOOVE eir music! and yes they kick *** on stage even tho they'ree getting a bit old. :P

[Slacker69]

i like seek and destroy by metallica. it might not be their best song but it puts me in the "mood"

[Squirrel]

Dyer's Eve isn't an instrumental

He's thinking of To Live is to Die.


i like seek and destroy by metallica. it might not be their best song but it puts me in the "mood"

I hate Seek n' Destroy - when i saw it live it was amazing, but the studio version is pretty poor.

[TheCrunge]

To Live is to Die isnt instrumental either, it has lyrics, albeit two lines...but still.

and Metallica is awesome, they're my favourite band next to Led Zeppelin.

[Squirrel]

In a 9 minute song is has a recital of words - theyre barely lyrics. Hence its closer to instrumental than a song.

The latest album that I can stand listening to is the Black Album.. I usually like RTL-AJFA

[MAthiAS]

^^yeah no kidding man everyone on this board thinks the same way

[Holyed]

The Black Album, is what I see as Metallica's turning point down hill, but it was only so they could appeal to a bigger audience, with tracks like Enter Sandman for example, so if theres money to be made, you can't blame them. But saying that Black album does have some good tracks, its the load and reload albums I cant stand.

by no means was i saying that they were selling out, and i dont think they sold out with st. anger just that they made a horrible deswicion with how they wanted to go about that album

Today on the radio they played a Metallica song that was described as a cover of a Diamond Head song on the B-side to "Harvester of Sorrow." It was really awesome, and a lot heavier than almost any original Metallica song. Anyone ever hear of it?

no because Kirk and James is a good combo. and no one else is gonna put up with Lars' BS

Metallica has covered Diamond Head's Am I Evil, The Prince, Helpless and the very rare and hard to find Sucking My Love.

[YDload]

^ I think it was either The Prince or Helpless. I remember it was only two syllables, but couldn't quite understand the DJ. Which one starts out with a blistering solo?

[guitrguy]

hate to break it to you gnar but, hetfield is the pillar of the band, beacuase he writes most of the music (alot of kirks stuff btw) and the personalit of the band

[Bulldogabel]

Does anyone know why they kicked Dave Mustaine out of the band? This was a long time ago before they were anyone, and I was just wondering what the band would have been like having him in there, rather then Kirk?

[Bulldogabel]

The Band would probably be nothing but a memory now! Because Kirk Hammet is what kept James Heitfield and Lars Ulrich from ripping each others throat out! If Dave was still in the band, they would be over already, because he probably would have just let them (James & Lars) go at it. And say, " Let 'em flush it out of there system.". Kinda scary.

they where complaining about mustaine coming to practices drunk and late etc. yet hetfeild had his onw alcohol problems

They all had alcohol probs.
They should have dealt with it in a more reasonable manner.

well there nothing that can be done about it now

[Bulldogabel]

True! But something could have been done then, if they would have been smart enough to asses(:lol:) the situation. But then again if they would have assesed the situation back then, they probably wouldn't have made some of the greatest, & most memorable, songs in the world.

you never know... hetfield is very controlling same with mustaine so if mustaine stayed in the band would that have destroyed metallica????

[Bulldogabel]

Good point! It may sound like i'm just agreeing with you just to agree, but I think that if Mustaine would have stayed in the band with them, he probably would have tried to gain control and kick James or Kirk out, if he could.

You'r not just saying that because this is a Metallica thread are you? I really need to know what there best album is, so that when I come around some money I can buy it. :)

[-=The_Dude=-]

I just recently got into Megadeth, if you can download songs i would recommend Trust, Blood of Heros, Symphony of Destruction, Hanger 18, Devils island. If its albums your after id say Peace Sells is good, Rust in Peace, or Cryptic Writings.

And i wasnt just saying Metallica is better because this is a Metallica thread. Megadeth is still really good though (one of my fav bands :cool: )

They probably kicked mustaine out because:
1.)dave is a whiny arrogant jerk
2.)kirk plays better(ive heard all of the RIP album and just thought it was boring.BTW, i heard mustaine wrote most of kill em all and RTL, which is surprising to me.)
3.)james and cliff probably couldnt stand having two whiny morons in the group(mustaine and ulrich).

i like metallica alot, i saw them may 7 in saskatoon and it was ****in amazing, kirk is my hero at guitar, i would kill to just play with him or have a lesson with him, but i think metallica went over the line with some stuff, like pretty much sewing their fans on napster, and jason left aorund the time when they were sewing everyone, and the conflict with megadeth should just stop, they should just get along with mustaine and the rest of the band, and mustaine should just cut all the ****. and st anger i didnt like, same with load or reload, but i respect them for trying something new, thats another reason for me liking them alot, they have all types of music for everyone, my mom even likes them and she listens to elton john.lol my favorite metallica song is probably fade to black or sanitarium, favorite album is master of puppets for sure.
