Posted September 10, 2006 My joint-favourite band with Iron Maiden - Metallica. They've just got an awesome sound (well they did have) and I love the singing style. I have these albums and they're all fantastic apart from the non-bold one: S&M Master of Puppets Load Black Album Ride The Lightning ...And Justice For All Favourite songs: Enter Sandman Master of Puppets Sanitarium One For Who'm The Bell Tolls Orion Who else thinks this band kicks ass? Oh and have a look at this video when they're with the symphony orchestra playing MoP: http://youtube.com/watch?v=qWgzyOkZrcI&search=master%20of%20puppets%20orchestra Enjoy!

Posted September 10, 2006 Metallica are definitely one of my favourite bands. My favourite albums are probably Ride The Lightning and S&M, but it's so hard to choose because they have so many amazing songs. I've seen them live in Dublin 3 times, and they've been the best gigs I've ever been to. Their performance, the atmosphere of the crowd, it was all fantastic. I got one of the plecs that was thrown into the audience at the end of the last concert, it's now one of my prized possessions Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 10, 2006 Metallica are my favourite band. I loved the M&S album. My favourite song is No Leaf Clover. I know i'll probably be smited for this but I don't really like Enter Sandman, Master of Puppets or For Who'm the Bell Tolls Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 10, 2006 Don't really like their new album, asides from that they're really great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 10, 2006 Some of my favourite songs are by this band. Master of puppets, Enter sandman and Nothing else matters. Great songs. I don't like their newer stuff though. Sounds too soft. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 10, 2006 Everything they've done since And Justice For All has been shit, infact getting progresivly shitter. Good band in the 80s though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 10, 2006 I think everyone should own a copy of ...And Justice for All I love Metallica despite what theyve become today Hell i even liked Load/Reload though i was pretty unmoved by Saint Anger King Boo, have you heard the Garage Days Revisited album? Good stuff.. Adding to boos list of their best: Helpless (Cover) Loverman (Cover) Die my Darling (Cover) Justice for All 2x4 Bleeding Me Where the Wild Things Are Devil's Dance Eye of the Beholder Dyers Eve Ride the Lightning The Four Horsemen and too many more that i care not list Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 10, 2006 The new stuff I agree isnt very good, the guitar work doesnt stand out, maybe the riffs are crap. Oh and Bogbas I also love Nothing Else Matters! Eye of the Beholder I agree Pit - fantastic melodic bit in the middle somewhere and my favourite ever solo. Listen to eye of the beholder and fast forward to the 4:50 mark, the solo kicks in at 4:56. @ Noodleman - i strongly disagree, the black album and (apparently) garage days are both very good.

I've also seen them 3 times in Dublin, with this summers gig being INCREDIBLE!!! I loved the M&S album. Marks and Sparks eh Everything they've done since And Justice For All has been shit, infact getting progresivly shitter. Good band in the 80s though. I dont agree with you entirely, but yes you are almost right Kill em All and Master of Puppets are my 2 favourite albums. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 10, 2006 Apparently Metallica are working on a new album to be released next year. Let's hope it's reminiscent of their old works. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 10, 2006 Metallica bore me tbh, they just don't have the sound I like. They're a good band, just not really my taste.. (Though One, is fucking awesome) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 10, 2006 Metallica are awesome. Although listening to ...And Justice For All makes my ears hurt a bit due to the sharp guitar sound and lack of bass. Gutted for Newstead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 10, 2006 My first ever CD was Master of Puppets so Metallica had quite an influence on me when I first started getting into music. I now have: Master of Puppets ...And Justice for All Ride the Lightning Load Reload S&M I was disapointed by their new album St. Anger, just not the same old Metallica feeling. but most of the songs are decient listens.

Posted September 10, 2006 @ Noodleman - i strongly disagree, the black album and (apparently) garage days are both very good. The black album is hideously overated tosh, every song on it is dire (yes even bloody Enter Sandman) Its an attempt to make Pop Metal is the only way I can describe it and its bilge because of it. Its massivley over produced and a change for the worse from Metallicas older stuff. It was the beggining of the end of them imo. Basicaly every album they've had Bob Rock as producer has been shit, although I understand the next one they do will have Rick Rubin which could be good. And Garage Inc, which is the album you mean, isnt a proper album as most of it is covers that the band has performed. Garage Days, however, was a mini album they released before And Justice For All to give Jason Newstead some practice before recording AJFA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 10, 2006 I really like Metallica. I haven't got any of their albums though. Their entire discography will be mine as soon as I get a job though. My favourite song is Where Ever I May Roam. But other I love include Fade to Black and For Whom The Bell Tolls. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 10, 2006 I used to absolutely LOVE them...but now I don't think they're as amazing as everyone makes out. To be honest they're crap live nowadays. I know they're gettin old but James' voice is nothing like it used to be. Compare this older video with... with this newer one http://youtube.com/watch?v=_WRRhnwiEKE&mode=related&search= Seems they went down since cutting their hair and james stopped drinking lol. But apart from their live performances I think all their albums are awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 10, 2006 I think everyone should own a copy of ...And Justice for All One of the best metal albums of all time. They used to be great, first 4 albums were beyond fantastic. The Black album was about average, with two or three standout songs (those being, Don't Tread On Me, Nothing Else Matters and My friend of misery had an amazing solo). Not doing so good nowadays though. To be honest, they should give up while they're ahead, and not taint everyones memory of them. That said, there may be a chance that if they can pull themselves together and stop touting this "don't make the same album twice" bullshit. Their best work is undoubtedly on ...And Justice...songs like Blackened, Harvester, One and Dyers Eve take stupid amounts of skill to both play and write. Megadeth are better though (maybe) :p.

Posted September 10, 2006 Megadeth are better though (maybe) :p. There's always a fight between them eh Come to think of it they are probably one of few metal bands from america that I like. For some reason american metal sounds different than european. Then again I don't listen much music... Current number of cd's owned: 0 Current number of cd's bought: 1 (as a present to someone) Current number of mp3's: 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 10, 2006 Slowly became my favourite band over the last year or so. Saw them live in June. They played all the songs I wanted them to play, which was fucking amazing. I disagree on the later stuff (apart from St. Anger) being shit. I love some songs on Load and Reload. There's way too many songs too mention but my favourite stand out ones, in order, would be Sad but true The thing that should not be Leper Messiah Battery Of wolf and man Wherever I may roam Enter Sandman For whom the bell tolls Seek and destroy Master of puppets Orion One Sanitarium New song Fuel Hero of the day Disposeable heroes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 11, 2006 Megadeth are better though (maybe) :p. Some days i agree with that, sometimes not. If i had to choose a live show though id go with Metallica, just for their overwhelming stage presence and more familiar with their songs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 11, 2006 Best metal band ever is metallica, i also like megadeath but not close to metallica. an alternative metal band would be Iron maiden. fave songs be mettalica... Master of puppets Orion Enter sandman Nothing else matters Sanetriam King nothing unforgiven I and II Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
