As much as you dislike Metallica you must admit that Kill 'em All, Ride the Lightening and ....And Justice for All are good albums, Master Of Puppets is not bad either. Metallica went bad when Black Album come out.

I've never actually heard the first 3 albums that you've mentioned, just MOP. It didn't impress me at all - and it was supposed to be their best album.

IMO MOP is when they started to go downhill and Black is when they hit the bottom. The only good song on MoP is Master of Puppets. Those other three albums are great though, especially And Justice for All.

I just can't bring myself to start listening to them again. The boring riffs, the awful singing...

Led Zeppelin = Metal :confused:
They pretty much invented metal, and Black Sabbath took it one step further.

MOP is considered one of the best thrash metal albumns ever made.

That's great...really.

[K.Hunt]

MOP is considered one of the best thrash metal albumns ever made.

After Reign In Blood, Rust In Peace, Peace Sells, Among the Living, We've Come for You All, God Hates Us All and ....And Justice For All (yes I like that album):p

I like all metal really, it is just great. It is the only genre that I can listen to any song really and like it. I love it's complexity and the skill that it takes to play it, I love it's sound, I love it's lyrics, I just love metal! I guess I would be classed as a Metal Head or a Head banger!

PS Has anyone ever heard of the Rock Am Ring concert in Germany?

Agreed with the singing, I cant stand Hetfield. Kirk Hammet is a fairly good guitarist though.

I didnt think Van Halen would be classed as metal?:confused:


On a side note, I dont really like metal, to repititive and a lack of melody.

[xgames]

Slipknot probably heaviest if their counted as metal
