Any Metallica Fans Out There!

I liked Metallica when I was about your age and younger, back before they sold out. I think the 'black album' was their final quality release.

I agree with Sava. I loved Metallica before they sold out. I still listen to some of the old stuff from Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets.

ohh yeh love Metallica, they were way better in the 80s though, my fav album Master of Puppets

 

[HybridNation]

My favorite album is Ride the Lightning, then Master of Puppets. I know what you guys mean about some new Metallica. St. Anger was awful (along with most of Load and Reload, excluding Hero of the Day). I too prefer Metallica in the 80's. Good to know other people like Metallica!

I am a fan of Cliff Burton Metallica.

I like the song "Hero of the Day", even though it's from the "sell-out" period. St. Anger sickened me.

 

[Blue Elvis With Coupons]

I too enjoy Metallica. Master of Puppets is the best IMHO.

I guess metallica's alright, they have few songs that appeal to me, namely Welcome Home (sanitarium) and For Whom the Bell Tolls. But for a band with 'metal' in their name, i don't like them a whole lot.
admittedly, the guitarists were quite awsome in their prime.

Absolutely adore "the black album", in particular. Had a very surreal moment 9 years ago, when I was headhunted by a big London booking agency. Got dragged in for an interview, which was held in the big guys fancy office. Found myself sitting under a signed photo & platinum disk, with the inscription - "To John Jackson, for helping make "Metallica" one of the biggest selling albums of 1992". I was SO awestruck!

I like early Metallica (Kill Em All through And justice for all....) From the black album on it just got worse and worse imo, even started on Justice, but justice has the song One of it which is 'one' of they're best

I like their material post-Black album and pre-St. Anger the best. My favorite tunes are "Whiskey in the Jar" and "No Leaf Clover".

Master of Puppets is terrific. But after St. Anger, I feel guilty even talking about Metallica. I mean, I can't imagine them being in the studio and thinking, "Hey, this album is great." Ugh. I think the production on St. Anger was the worst part.

I actually watched their documentary. It was appalling watching James lay down vocals for some of those songs, and the guys being like, 'oh yeah, that's it. that's a hot track.' Laughable. Those are some of the worst lyrics I've ever heard.

"My lifestyle determines my death style"??? C'mon. What garbage......

i like master of puppets.

Ride the Lightening through ...And Justice for All were absolutely amazing. Black album very very good, Load good, Reload not that good, don't have anything newer and don't have Kill 'em all.

 

[Jeromethedisciple]

I have always been a big Metallica fan. Has anyone ever heard of Apocilyptica (I think I spelled that wrong)

Ofc, the guys who play heavy metal with 4 chello's and a drum They are brilliant

Yep. I was more into Metallica and that style in general right before St. Anger came out. I remember how excited everyone was about a new Metallica album. I remember the radio DJs saying how hot the new single was a few days before it came out. I remember hearing the song "St. Anger" for the first time and being speechless. I doubt I will ever forget the lines "Feel the ground shake like an earthquake" and "I'm madly in anger with you." I also remember being disgusted with radio stations when they tried to hang on to playing the song for the first couple of weeks. What a bummer. This post also just reminded me of how disappointed I am/was with Velvet Revolver. Sad times.
