Don't trust Wiki as far as you can throw it :lol:

Metallica have definitely sold more than enough records to be way inside the top 50 selling rock bands. WAY inside.

Record sales =/= greatness though. Otherwise, you'd all be worshipping Mariah Carey and shizzle.

No band I listen to is based on how many records they've sold. Though Metallica do reach a lot of people because they are a commercial metal band. This in turn gives them more record sales. They have it sewn up :p

:smash:

it says that metallica has sold over 200 million albums.

they have the num1 metal album

well sort of. apetite for destruction sold more than black album as did led zeppelin IV, so it depends on your definition of metal.

im pretty sure that thing about them been 7th biggest american act is accurate, cos ive heard from several diffrent sources. including their website.

Appetite For Destruction = metal.

LZ IV = not.

Well I could believe number 7 american act but then if you take all the UK bands they would be bumped down quiet alot. Oh and they have sold over 100 Million, that was me failing at multitasking, so that was my fault.

either way they are a huge as band and they have sold an *** load of records.

I so can't wait for 'tallica to get done with the new record and touring again

Me neither. I'm starting to get excited about it.

Whens the due date? Or any guesses when?

I don't have high thoughts for the new album though. If I end up thinking its going to be as good as RtL or MoP or what not it'll end up being a St. Anger. Which is still decent just not Metallica great.

Due out sometime in the next few months.

I'm guessing by mid spring to summer

[QUOTE=fatbandit]Appetite For Destruction = metal.

AFD is hard rock, in fact everything GnR is Hard Rock, heavy stuff i must admit but not metal.

I think the album will be released 'till 07, they are in the Studio but i think this year is a bit premature.

Heavy Metal

they are Hard Rock and are listed as Hard Rock...Slash himself said that they are hard rock

GnR is deffinently not metal. I think you would probably kick your *** kicked for saying GnR is Metal.

This is the Metallica thread people!

The double bass is way slower than the recordings, also the guitars sound a bit slower too.

Damn.

i havent seen metallica live so i dont know what is better. i watched the DVD of S&M but thats it and that was cool.

All I've seen are live DVDs too :( Hopefully they'll tour again..

Havnt seen them live either. Only saw Cunning Stunts...

I really need to see them live, but you don't many chances in Australia. :upset:

I saw them in 04, it was awesome, the air was full of energy.

My favorite moment was Rob's bass solo, too bad the audience only reacted to the Orion part.

When they played One, the effects were extremely awesome.

^^Oh yeah, i went deaf.

I don't know...with the expectation of a few songs (everyone messes up now and then) Metallica is pretty dead on balls live

no i was talking about MOP

[QUOTE=.:Thrasher:.]no i was talking about MOP[/QUOTE]
MOP wasn't their highest selling album though. I guess he was comparing their highest selling (Black album) to other band's top selling album.

What was your favourite song from S&M?

Call Of The Ktulu.

NP: Mastor Of Puppets (S&M)

Nothing Else Matters.

That's completely subjective.
