About Metallica



yes i am actually posting about Metallica because i realised today how much i fucking love them..i was talking about metallica with ajay and aniq and man i got so fucking excited that i was incoherent..

Metallica is the mother of all bands, every other band should bow down to them and die..well all bands except Iron Maiden and Children Of Bodom. Started off in the 80's when drummer Lars Ulrich put a ad for a lead guitarist thats when he met James Hetfield and the most legendary band was created. Original line up was Lars Ulrich on drums, James Hetfield on rhythm and vocals, Dave Mustaine as lead guitarist and Cliff Burton on bass...rest in peace cliff. Dave mustaine was fired shortly after their first album Kill 'Em All which i think every thrash metal fan should check out..its so awesome it makes ur ears bleed. As i was saying Dave Mustaine got fired because he was a fucking junkie so he got all sore and started Megadeth.

After Kill 'Em All came out Metallica gained a fucking underground cult following in L.A and in 1984 they released their second album Ride The Lightning which has my favourite songs which are Creeping Death and For Whom The Bell Tolls. With the release of Ride The Lightning Metallica started to get some hardcore fan and in 1986 they released their 3rd and their best album to date Master Of Puppets. Every fucking song on that album is kickass, its just pure thrash which makes u go crazy everytime u hear it. Unfortunately in 1986 Cliff Burton died in an accident while on tour and Jason Newsted replaced him as the bassist. In 1988 Metallica released another kickass album ...And Justice For All and they started their ...And Justice For All tour which contains one of the best perfomances.

In 1991 Metallica decided to go more mainstream and released the Black Album, its called the black album because it didnt have a name and the cover was all black. It was totally different from their other albums but has to be one of their best albums as it has so many good songs like The Unforgiven,Nothing Else Matters,Sad But True and Enter Sandman. However during this time James Hetfield started to lose his voice and sometimes he sounded like a little girl when he hit high notes, still their live performances were fucking insane. In 1996 they released their 6th album Load which a lot of people hate, i think its fucking good as it contains a lot of good songs like Aint My Bitch and King Nothing. In 1997 they released their 7th album Reload which had Unforgiven II and Fuel and Memory Remains to name a few good songs. During this time a lot of people started hating Metallica because they 'sold out', well fuck them haters, they can eat shit and die for all i care. From '97 to 2003 Metallica went on a shit load of tours and made the best live album ever, S&M which was basically all their songs played live with the San Fransisco Symphony. EVeryone should check it out its fucking amazing, i mean who knew Metal and symphony would go so well

In 2003 Metallica released their worst album ever, I mean even a die hard fan like myself hate it..why they made it i'll never know. But St.Anger was beyond shit, they wanted to make it more 'raw' so they removed all the guitar solos and shit. I mean who the fuck does that??? In 2003 Jason Newstead also left the band because he said it was causing too much damage to him physically and mentally playing what he liked, wtv the fuck that means. Robert Truijillo replaced him, hes a beast of a man lol..really gooood bassist though...A lot of people thought that Metallica was finished after St.Anger came out, i mean it was so bad. But last year they released their 9th studio album Death Magnetic which was fucking AMAZING!!! it had so many goood songs and they returned to their old self, im talking about insane solos and orgasmic guitar rifts, all the fucking songs from it were good and they made an instrumental after 23 years which is called Suicide And Redemption

And yeaaaah thats metallica for u...I grew up listening to them and i'd always listen to them. Theres no band that can replace Metallica or even come close to touching them, except maybe Maiden and Bodom.

PS: I'd kill to see them live, no joke. I'll kill U to seem em live..
