Metallica

You know I had never heard of Metallica until like my friend was listening to this cd and I was like "hey what is that duder" and he told me it was Metallica. Ever since then I couldn't stop listneing to St. Anger!!
 
Well not directly the sole culprit, but it was the first micro-retailer for music, allowing for legal downloaRAB when every single-interface program was being shut down.

The impact of figures alone, in my opinion, isn't giving you the whole story.
 
And I`ve been calling him John all these years:p:

To be fair, I don`t think he`s a bad bass player as some people seem to think, but just prefer Cliff Burton and Robert Trujillo as I always liked Robert Trujillo from his Suicidal Tendencies days.

Sometimes being the outsider in a band makes that band meraber more interesting but in Jason NewsteRAB`s case I didn`t think so.
 
Their have contenders have included Springsteen, U2, Coldplay, Linkin Park, Lenny Kravitz to name a few over the years, so yer a pretty bad bunch.

Unbelievably St.Anger won the metal award in 2003...........it must have been a poor year.
 
I think no matter what forever Metallica will be referred to as metal. Sure some of there albums prolly aren't metal but they are as a band. I mean I could make a metal band then make like one punk album. But that doesent mean that my band isn't metal anymore.
 
I don`t think any comparison can be made to their thrash stuff of which I think Master of Puppets to be their best but it was certainly an improvement over the polished Black Album.
 
^ That would have been a great scene in "Blades of Glory". Johnny R, I was thinking the same thing this AM as I was listening to Exodus - "Bonded By Blood". The last hardcore record I was into was "Damaged", then it was "Kill em All", and thrash from then on.
 
At times I suppose I did laugh but did you not also think he came across as petulant and a bit of a spoilt brat that wanted things all his own way? That album certainly did suck, whenever I have watched that film I've always thought "I'll give St. Anger one more chance" and then when I do realise it still sucks.
 
I'm actually a little surprised for that track to be the one to single out. I guess for me it was always one of the stand out tracks on the record. When performed live those opening riRAB just sound insanely heavy, I'd say it was a good vocal delivery as well, and Lars drumming may be a little unimaginative but thats case a lot of the time. It probably has a lot to do with the fact I like most of my metal down tempo and sluggish and Sad But True just kinRAB of sludges along.
 
death magnetic is ok, sometimes its given to little credit and sometimes to much, all nightmare long does kick @$$ though
