Hey guys,
I'm just wondering if their are any Metallica fans out their. I'm a pretty big fan of the band myself. I think their one of the greatest metal bands ever! :)

LOL! Right on target...That's the only album of theirs that I own...along with some "anthologies" (greatest hits bla bla)...I think it's pretty good. :D lol...funny how you guessed that...

I used to love Metallica.. I went and saw them 3 times in the past.. all before the black album.. but then Lars had to be a prick and sue Napster and stuff... (like that is gonna stop people) so I made a bold move.. I destroyed ALL my Cds.. including the $9.98 Garage Days Re-Revisited and mailed the broken pieces to their fan club with a note saying that I no longer need them, I have them all on MP3 and share it with all my friends.. oddly enough, I never got a letter back.
Personally I think they lost it after the Black Album.. and then when Jason left/kicked it was set in stone.. they suck now.
I've seen Metallica live twice and as Metallica themselves say they really know how to shove metal up your ass.
The 4 albums Ride The Lighting, Master Of Puppets, ...and Justice For All, and the Black Album are just classic metal masterpieces.
Sure, they went downhill afterwards when they approached a new musical direction. Like many Metallica fans I felt backstabbed when they released 'Load' and they went for a mainstream alternative/grunge edge. I was so pissed off because back then in 1996 I was completely fed up with grunge.
However, I have to say that 10 years after 'Load', I gave the album another chance and in all honesty it's pretty damn good. Back then I was going through an alternative bias phase and that's why I hated it, but if you put that aside you'll find that while not as good as their previous efforts, it's still a good album.
I own 3 of their cds, still really a "new" fan I guess. Kill 'Em All, Master & The Black Album are superb. Never bought the St Anger album after hearing mixed reviews of it, but Frantic & St Anger are great tunes!
Amazing band, although Load 2 and St Anger were cack. Ive seen them 4 times, 1st time was the Freddie Tribute. Shook hands with all of them, Birmingham 1997.
Love them, always will...they are behind Queen, my 2nd fave band. I just wish theyed revert back to the older style.
