they may be losing their talent, but when they retire only will their greatness in the old songs be forever remembered, therefore making them once again the greatest band in the universe

They never were the greatest band in the universe, there are many bands better. Metallica are good, and yes, only their good stuff will be remembered.

i just bought my guitar world issue of this month and it came with a dvd that had a sneak preview of some kind of monster(just like 5 mins of it)

it was very cool imo it's like u see their lives and stuff i like kirk a lot he seems like a very nice guy he surfs and stuff i think i'm gonna love this movie

how good is the black album?

[QUOTE]Who here has seen Metallica live? If you have, which song do u feel is the best when they play it live? IMO Creeping Death live is the ultimate concert experience ( "DIE! DIE! DIE!") [/QUOTE]

Creeping Death and Dyers Eve

and to ToolOwnz: That was a good cover

[QUOTE=Dooflungerfletchface]Ok well anyways Metallica still sucks in my mind but hey ToolOwnz nice Guitar Work on that song.[/QUOTE]


if u dont like metallica then get the hell out

metallica are the best band ever. fucI<ing great live. i saw them last january in sydney, australia. the kicked ***.
every song is great by them.

I've never seen them live before :upset: :upset:

[QUOTE=clown_phobia]what was everyone's first metallica album?[/QUOTE]


a little late...but RTL. i didnt' buy it either, dl'ed em and burned teh CD ^^

i'm thinkin of the black album as my first.

[QUOTE=clown_phobia]how good is the black album?[/QUOTE]

very good in my opinion, hetfield's singing got a lot better in this album it's more of a hard rock album than metal or thrash but it's still good

i think the best songs in that are
nothing else matters
enter sandman
my friend of misery
holier than thou
wherever i may roam

i've never seen them live, and i will never do (well, maybe ;) ) ONE is live much better than on cd :)

[QUOTE=clown_phobia]how good is the black album?[/QUOTE]
another opinion:

there are 3 songs i really like: enter sandman, nothing else matters and the unforgiven. the others are boring and slow but the solos are still acceptable.

Yesturday I heard some of the Black Album at a friends house(I was already familiar with a few of the songs, (sandman, whereever I may roam, NEM, unforgiven) and it occured to me that I really needed to get it. Onething though, I thought the chorus of my friend of misery sounded particulaly weak.

Now I'm torn between getting Black Album or Ride the Lightning first.

get ride the lightning

I thought you might say that :p

:lol: you can also get among the living. that's a great album, too

Who's that by? :confused:
(My knowledge of thrash is limited to say the least)

anthrax

Ah ok I was thinking Slayer but yeah ok. I want to get albums by both those bands. After I have Maiden and Metallica. And maybe some Motorhead, GN'R, Hendrix....

so many good albums to get... ;)

It would appear I'll be collecting albums for the rest of my life....:(



:D

don't worry. me too :D

sow what album is the best for a first album?

metallica albums or generel?

metallica albums

a thrash album, maybe kill em all or and master of puppets

ok thanks

Not great (controversial I know) - I think its their worst album after St. Anger. It's neither great thrash like RTL,MOP or AJFA, nor great rock like the Loads.

It's a bit mediocre really.

Still a Metallica album though, so it's still got its merits...
