Metallica

In my opinion, the greatest band of all time.

Favorite album: Load
Favorite song: Bleeding me

Y'all?

Not the biggest fan of theirs. But I will say they put on one helluva live show. Seen them six times over the years.

All time? No. Last 30 years? Probably.

Favorite album: Also Load
Song: The Outlaw Torn.

Who's your all time?

Y�all like the new Metallica I see.

I like the older stuff better. Kill em all, Ride the Lightning, and Master of Puppets albums were all top of the line.

I think more than 1% of the population would have heard of a band before you can name them goats.

I can do whatever I like sir.

Yes, agree

Culture Club might have something to say about that.

The old stuff is good as well.

I think way more than 1% has heard them. They are in the Rock&Roll HOF

Everything after the black album sux.

And Little Feet!

*Feat

Of course you can. You always have the freedom to be wrong. They really aren't my thing, but they do what they do very well, and have been doing it for a long time. I would probably name them in the top 5. Not really sure who I would call goats though. I would include The Beatles, U2, The Stones, Mettalica, and The Who in the top 5 rock bands.

Abba is in the R&RHOF. That's not really helping your case.

definitely one for the goat debate.

so hard to choose any one album or song...but it's got to be one of the older

ABBA fan?

Nothing Else Matters

Man I couldn�t pick a favorite. There are quite a few bands that depending on day, time, occasion, my mood...etc. would float to the top. I do like Metallica. I�ve never bought any but I respect their body of work.

Load and Re-Load are among their worst albums. And Justice for All was the best.

Don't forget garage days re-visited

You don't know ....

x infinity

Agreed.

Never cared for anything Metallica.

Ride the lightning
Garage days revisited
Kill'em all
Masters of puppets
Black album
Death magnetic
Hardwired
And justice for all

Trapped Under Ice
Creeping Death
For Whom the Bell Rolls
Ride the Lightning are equally bad [censored] songs to me. Tough to pick a favorite out of those. Pretty much why Ride the Lightning is my favorite album by them.

Explains why you love Wimbledon so much.

Big fan of Metallica, I believe ole boy Lars screwed up when he took on Napster, still good music

In the days of my youth it was Zepplin. I like Zeplin II the best, I can listen to every song on it.
As I got into my 30's it was Metallica, the unforgiven 1 and 2

Zeppelin got me into music. They will always be #1 to me. Favorite metal band is Pantera.

FGL kicks Metallica ace ALL DAY LONG

So does Wham

Not a Metallica fan, my top 5 would be.
1. Led Zeppelin
2. ZZ Top
3. AC/DC
4. Lynyrd Skynyrd
5. Beatles
Those two girls with ABBA were hot, the Blonde (Agnetha) had an award winning caboose.

for about 5 years(Pantera ) were on top of the world, I skip over them now on my playlists

Agreed.

This (among other things) is why you�re better than derek.

And justice for all easily the best. To the guy that put U2 in the top five of all time. You have lost your damn mind.

Garbage

I don't know what that [censored] after And Justice for All is, but it ain't Metallica.
I dropped em after they sold out in the 90's.
Saw them at 10 different venues in the 80's, but now I wouldn't go if you paid me, totally different band now.

I'd be interested in starting a Wham cover band. But I get to be George Michael and you're
Andrew Ridgeley.

For personal reasons I'll say f Metallica

Let it out big guy.

Can I dance like Carlton while we do �Wake me up� ?

Absolutely. I've been working on my worm dance moves.

Favorite�Kill�em all
Songs I listen to the most. Whiplash, Four Horsemen, Orion, For Whom The Bell Tolls
When Cliff died, their sound changed (less bass guitar in the mix, less thrash, less funky); but I do like Death Magnetic a lot.

oh my
worst band ever - little foot

Allman Brothers might say something though & Waylon

Their cover of Turn the Page was so good it ruined the Seger version for me.

The worm?....... soul mates

ACL Fest!

same here

First time I heard their version of that song was at their concert at Retama polo fields in SA. It was incredible.

I've liked them from the start.. I still jam every time one of their songs comes on... and my phone is full of their music.

Justice for all is probably the album I jam to the most.. just love the double kick drums in most of those songs.... plus they are long riffs.... and that is what made them famous...

Mo

Ecstasy Of Gold for the win.

I�ll agree, that cover is badace

I used to be a huge fan in HS. Loved the Black Album, Ride the Lightning, And Justice for All, and Master of Puppets. Load was okay. Now I usually listen to FFDP, Breaking Benjamin, or Volbeat when I need some metal.

Maybe this could help the bread thread

I'd bet there's been a lotta bone smokin' amongst this group of posters during their lives. So......brain dead don't count for everything. What about Waylon, Willie, and the Boyz? They got goats, too....

Not the GOATS but up there. Favorites are For whom the bell tolls, no leaf clover, one and Master of Puppets.

Willie is probably the most overrated singer/artist of our lifetime.

Shocking; and I know you don't really mean that

Agreed and Dolly Parton

Metallica sucks now and always has.

Multiple lifetimes. He's 117.

I'm a little on edge this morning. I haven't taken my multi vitamin and krill oil yet.

Blasphemy!!

I hear ya

I would love to see a Willie Nelson and Metallica collaboration...
Imagine them together on if you got the money honey, memory remains, and both covering whiskey in the jar.

Garth Brooks

Favorite albums - the black album, ride the lightning and master of puppets...
Songs - One, shortest straw, of wolf and man

Kevin VanDam agrees with you, Moto.

What if I told you that a person can actually like more than one genre of music?
Example. I'm a metal head through and through. Pantera and Slayer being my two favorites. And two of my top five favorite bands of all time. But then another in my top five is Cody Jinks. Not the same style by any means. Even though he once played metal. His song writing is so unbelievably good to me. I can easily look past the country part of it and appreciate his talent and greatness. Back in my younger days I wouldn't even consider listening to something that wasn't metal. I had to grow as a person to appreciate other genres.

Metallica actually doesn't even crack my top ten. But I do recognize their incredible talent and staying power to be doing it for thirty years.

Well said

Are we STILL talking about how bad Metallica sucks now?

Thanks Doc, this clip always makes me smile and laugh. EVERY time.

The who is THE king #1 of all time most overrated band in R&R history.

Willie just down right sucks.

FGL lover

needs its own thread

WHAM too

You need to listen to Live at Leeds

they were good, but good lord they had like 3 good songs and then a bunch of garbage and videos of chicks eating beans.

The Who were the best live band�just watch them blow away the Stones in the Rock and Roll Circus movie produced by Mick and Keith

My all time favorite Metallica tune is Damage, Inc

I really like Metallica but best of all time? I think Pink Floyd has that by a long shot.

Pack your S and leave. That's a felony in Texas.

my opinion, easily the greatest pure metal band of all time. especially when considering longevity, record sales, live show venues, and mainstream cross-over their success cannot be debated. Ozzy (combined with Black Sabbath) may have a claim for a long time, but that torch was formally passed in '08 when Metallica headlined Ozz-fest, with Ozzy opening for them.

Probably Sabbath or Zeppelin. It's a tough call. Neither is my personal favorite but as far as influence I think they rank right up there. Metallica is likely to go down right up there among the greats though, Sabbath, Zeppelin, Stones, Metallica.

TOP 2

Willie had maybe a handful of songs I like out of his bazillion years in the industry. But I won't lie, I would definitely party with him.

I used to download 50,s music you could find nowhere else except Napster.
Napster was free but Metallica kept pushing and bye free Napster.

I downloaded more songs than I can remember back then. Stuff I didn't even know existed.

I found a lot of good music I never would have known about without napster

I'd like to weigh in...

Metallica is freaking awesome, favorite album.... And Justice For All.


I too will agree that Willie's music sucks, not sure how that ole roody poot country carp was even brought into a Metallica thread.

His music sucks and he's an open borders liberal. He sucks.

I like Willie, and all kinds of tunes, I don't even consider political beliefs when it comes to music, what they believe and say beyond that [censored], just jam some heavy tunes

Free Willie......i still wouldn't listen

Anyone who doesn't like Willie needs to head north.

Zepellin is my favorite band but the older Metallica is pretty good stuff.

Can we all just agree that old Metallica kicks ace please?

There's a lot worse than Willie, dam.

Metallica is top 10 for sure...all time

Let's say Rush for example, those guys suck.

I'd like to add Pink Floyd, they suck too

Definitely a good...

I agree. They should entertain, not interject politics.

Willie was jamming with Beto the other day. Hell no.

Greatness!

Agree %1000 only the posers like the new stuff.

Old Metallica
Old Crue
Pantera
Slayer
Metal Church

Spent many mornings driving to the coast at 4:00 am head banging to Z-ROCK.

That's how I see it. My bass player is pretty liberal. But he's a helluva bass player, good drummer, great back up vocals. And has been my vocal coach since I started on this new adventure. Politics never even comes up.

Why, because he's from Texas?
So is Beyonce. Not a fan of hers. So is South Park Mexican. We all know how his career went.
I respect Willie for his body of work, and charitable acts like Farm Aid. Even like a few of his songs. However he's far from the greatest musical talent to come from Texas.
What about the Vaughan's or
Abbott's.
Willie isn't even the best in his genre from Texas. George Strait has more #1 hits than Willie has joints rolled at any given time.

Why? Because it was just a joke.

Band name?

Motley Crue died after Dr Feelgood. Vince is one of the most unique Rock voices ever.

Still in the works. Only got a few practices under our belt. Guitarists has prior commitments to another band until the end on August. So in the meantime we are working on our sound and potential set list. Leaning towards a play off of Cody Jinks' song Hippies and Cowboys. Instead Hippies and Outlaws. Since we are mixing some rock and outlaw country. But still yet to be decided.

Vince Neil was great. His voice isn't what it once was though. Watch the final concert if you ever get a chance. The rest of the band was on point. Mick Mars is the best guitar playing corpse I have ever seen. Vince's vocals were pretty bad in my opinion for that show.

Lars and the Cosmic Cowboy!

Metallica, the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Elvis, and John Tesh were all great at their respective brands of music but damn are they overhyped.

"NEW"

Load was over 20 years ago. I haven't cared for anything after S&M, St.Anger was a pile of garbage, Death Magnetic Sounded terrible. Hardwired was decent but nowhere near the level of their old stuff.

Written from the perspective of the Angel of Death, it describes the Plague of the Death of the Firstborn from Exodus 12:29.

Is this the one they used the 18� Stonehenge replica on?

I haven�t read this thread cause it�s about Metallica...ok. There are much better bands out there.

Thats how we always described Mic too..... that dead guy who�s really good at playing guitar.

Keith Richards is the worlds best guitar playing corpse. No question about it.

He sings one of my favorite Stones song
