Been listening to Death Magnetic again lately. No bullshit, such a great album. Amazing band.

the only i care about this band.

Me too! I for some reason have picked it up again and have been obsessing. It is one of thier greatest ever. It is not the same as they were, but they have grown up so much in a musical sense. "The day that never ends" A masterpiece. The guitars mirror the lyrics message it is phenominal.

That album got alot of negative hype when it was released because of the production. I still don't know whaT they're problem was. Rick Rubin is genius.

Oh, people bitched it was produced "too loud"... okay, turn the volume down then.. hmph.

THats what I said! I mean it's fucking metallica it is supposed to be loud pussies

fight fire with fire

hope they play that when they get inducte into the RnR hal of fame this year

yeah thats a good one. I had a crush a Lars when I was 13

I just don't know how anyone into music could possibly hate Metallica. Just listen to the first minute of "Battery", one of the most amazing pieces of music ever produced! "Orion" is one of the few songs that makes me want to cry! Amazing band.

I have four friends that have an ongoing debate that's been lasting for several years now about who's better: Metallica or Megadeth. Three of them have been hardcore Metallica fans for who knows how many years now, and the other guy is the lone champion for Megadeth.

The arguments get super heated sometimes with the lone Megadeth fan getting visibly angry sometimes when they dig real hard on Mustaine. No aspect of the argument goes untouched. Who writes the better solos, song length, evolution of discography, which has the individual best record, which has the worst, personal shit both bands have done that have hurt their cred, the number of solos in Hangar 18, the bass solo in Orion, the lack of solos on the entirety of St. Anger. The frying pan. How the only reason Kill Em All is any good is because Mustaine wrote a bunch of the tracks or whatever. And a ton of other stuff.

I rarely add anything to it since I think both bands are equally among the most worthless bands ever. But I always give Metallica points for the Some Kind of Monster documentary. It had to of taken serious guts to put out something to show how vunerable, moronic, shitty, and short sighted all of those guys are.

But I love the argument, they really go at it.

Ride the Lightning is fuckin great.

btw, i don't pay attention to what metallica fans or metallica "bashers" think. i just respect the band. and the first 3 albums are fantastic.

I'd say Metallica are definitely one of my favorite bands ever, up there with Beefheart and Boredoms and Autechre and John Fahey and Sun City Girls, etc.

Here's the Metallica/Megadeth argument distilled:

Classic albums by Metallica: Ride the Lightning, Master of Puppets,
And Justice For All

Classic albums by Megadeth: Rust in Peace

So it's not really close to me at all.

I never got into Megadeath.....at all.

Can't say I was ever a huge Metallica fan either.

Respect and all, but meh. I think it's Hetfield's voice that turns me off.

Listen to the instrumentals then ;)

Oh totally.....that part is great.

same here. i have never been able to get into Megadeth at all not even Rust in Peace. I despise dave mustaine as well so there is nothing about that band that i like.

I'm not the biggest Metallica fan but i do respect them. the only albums i really love are master of puppets and ride the lightning. Death Magnetic did surprise me a little bit. it isn't that bad. i hate the day that never comes though.

don't you work at walmart? what the fuck are they doing playing metallica in walmart? i don't ever remember being in walmart and hearing music, just screaming kids and some bumpkin telling her husband "YEW DONT NEED ANOTHER BEER HAYUT"


love metallica. love megadeth. LOVE METAL.

slayer >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

They don't play any music anymore, because a customer complained. 3 years ago, however...

you know that this isnt the solution....
