Preserved Topic: Hit The Lights

I saw discourse of Metallica in "Master of Puppets" topic so here. Let's discourse on Metallica


Cell 650

Ok? Ok!

Their 4 best albums:

Kill 'Em All

1. Hit the Lights
2. The Four Horsemen
3. Motorbreath
4. Jump In the Fire
5. Pulling Teeth
6. Whiplash
7. Phantom Lord
8. No Remorse
9. Seek & Destroy
10. Metal Malitia

Man when I am in the mood for some real old thrash metal, this CD is first to be popped in . I love Seek & Destroy.

Ride The Lightning:

1. Fight Fire With Fire
2. Ride The Lightning
3. For Whom The Bell Tolls
4. Fade to Black
5. Trapped Under Ice
6. Escape
7. Creeping Death
8. The Call of KTULU

IMO this is their best album ever. I especially love... Oh hell I love them all but some of my favs... Damn thats hard .

And Justice For All

1. Blackened
2. And Justice For All
3. Eye Of the Beholder
4. One
5. The Shortest Straw
6. Harvester of Sorrow
7. The Frayed Ends of Sanity
8. To Live is to Die
9. Dyers Eve

The song One on this CD is IMO the probably the most underated song because people think it is so overated, it really is a gooooood song.

The Black Album (Metallica)

1. Enter Sandman
2. Sad But True
3. Holier Than Thou
4. The Unforgiven
5. Wherever I May Roam
6. Don't Tread on Me
7. Through the Never
8. Nothing Else Matters
9. Of Wold and Man
10. The God That Failed
11. My Friend of Misery
12. The Struggle Within

This CD sold more coppies, and made the most money than any other Rock & Roll CD in its' genre. Lets see I can play 1, 2, 3 songs off this CD . I like Enter Sandman, especially in the car, woo man it's great.

So lets just assume I know everything about Metallica and move on

I don't think I've ever met anyone who enjoyed setting himself up so much ...

Cell 277

Just when I think that you've exhausted all possible ways to look like a younger, dumber, asinine, overblown, arrogant, hack moron...

I'm feelin' lots of love... anyone else feelin' it? hooyeah!

. . : slicePuzzle

I love all the ones up to And Justice for all. I'm not a straight hater of the black album like some old school fans because I think Justice was as far as they could go with the sound they had.

But just to add one all time fav

Garage Day's re-revisted

Best Cover album ever



.:[ Never resist a perfect moment ]:.

Best Metallica Flash movie ever...Napster Baaaaaad...beeeeeer gooooooood...

aight Insyder.... I never have listened to them... why should I?

                                                           

They've never "done it" for me.

Since when does loving the most innovative metal band make you arrogant and asinine? I really want to hear this.

Izzy: There isn't any real reason why you should listen to them. I like them, I like their music. Some of it is a little stupid and a little too "thrash" and by that I mean just playing power chords w/ no real rhythm. But some songs like Fade to Black and For Whom the Bell Tolls, have real well written/performed music. Some people say they sold out but really, the people that say that are the people that listen to music that they don't like to get in to a social group. It's like people that say, "we will never go to a corporate label because we aren't going to sell out to our fans." I mean as long as you are doing what you want to do, not because you are payed to do it, than there isn't anything wrong with it. I mean if you really dislike Pepsi, and Pepsi pays you millions to do a commercial and you do it for the millions, then thats a little somewhat of a "sell-out." One of my friends told me that any band that is on MTV is a sellout. I almost had a heart attack! That has to be one of the most ignorant comments about music I've heard in years...

Ok anyway izzy... If you like their music sure listen too it! I like it, its great, I play it on my guitar. I did a cover of "Sad but True," with my band for our school in 7'th grade. If you don't like it no one is forcing you to listen to it . Ermz, I am trying to say... There isn't any reason to listen to them, except for the reason of liking them.

If for some reason you do decide to download a few of their songs...

I recomend:

Seek and Destroy
Ride the Lightning
For Whom the Bell Tolls
Fade to Black
EscapeAnd
Justice for All
Eye Of the Beholder
One
Enter Sandman
Sad But True
Wherever I May Roam

But just remember, my favorite band which has been and probably always will be, is TOOL.

Correct me if I'm wrong but would it not have been easier to say:

Izz: Why should you? Maybe cause you haven't yet? If ya like em then good for you, if not then stop listening.

See, one line. Just one. Well, mebby two if ya using a fish bowl for a monitor ~looks in Petskull's direction~ he he.

What's the point of you saying all you did? What did it prove appart from how you strive to make some meaningfull statment about nothing with almost every post?...



Coffee or Vodka? Mmmmmm Coffee + Vodka!

There isn't one song that Metallica does (or any other band that I'm aware of) that has "no real rhythm". There will always be a rhythm regardless.

Why the hell would someone listen to something that they don't like? Really? Metallica did sell out. Not as much as some bands but they did. What the hell was that album "Loaded" about? A remake of "Turn the Page"??? come on! If that isn't selling out, I don't know what is. Stick to the genre! If you want to change that's fine, nothing wrong with change. But that is a little much.

Coffee please!

Yea, they sold out. They turned into the people they used to write songs about.

The older stuff is awesome. Creative, hard, fast, well detailed, and actually said something. The last 4 or 5 albums sucked. And there is NO reason for a band with that much talent to do a cover album.
Except as a sell out.

Yep, pretty much what synax said. I'm from an entirely different school, and metal (heavy, light, or otherwise) has never been my thing.

haaaa... very good. Bang on!

                                                           

InSider I Was gonna back you up a bit here but I have to take exception with the "no real rhythm" comment.

Metallica and in fact James Hetfields rhythm guitar work is legendarily tight, his ability to hold time at that speed is absolutely amazing. Taken from a musicians standpoint what makes Metallica Metallica is their rhythm.



.:[ Never resist a perfect moment ]:.

Metallica have gone commercial! Finito!

It's not that I don't like the genre, it's just that I don't like Metallica.

awwww......

Metallica has not sold out. The way i see it is that hetfield is older than he used to be, so natrually he cant sing like he used to. The Load sessions were ok and softer. All i ask is when those who diss Metallica, when you have 9 albums out and they all did pretty good, then you can critize Metallica for being sellouts. But until that time stop with the sellout stuff.
