Master Of Puppets was the OK Computer of the mid 80's. I have since found fault with both but never knock an album that was culturally important as it was musically.

I was talking about the song, not the album. 4 times, from 4 different Metallica fans, I have been told that that song has the best lyrics of any song ever

I dont like them for the simple facts that: They're just not very good musicians. Lars is a ****, and a **** drummer, downright horrible. Hetfield is supposedly some "guitar god", yet, IMHO(and Im sure I'm wrong) I think he just plays average stuff, and isn't "innovative, influential, iconic, or legendary", he's just average. Kirk Hammett isn't a vg guitarist either, but again, thats just me.

I dont know much abou their bassist, so, I'd have to say, by sheer association to the other 3, he sucks too. Jason Newstead was ok.

The thing about Metallica that I dont get is, They do the same ****ing thing that AC/DC gets lauded for all the time, playing/making the same ****ing record over and over again. When AC/DC does it, all we hear about is how they "make the same records over and over"& how bad they suck, and how they're not any good. Yet, when Metallica does it, they're "Iconic/Legendary/Innovative/etc. & it's hte greatest album ever...blah blah ****ing blah."

Admittedly, I've never been a Metallica fan, and frankly, think they're a **** band. I dont understand why everyone licks their ass all the time? I don't own a single song or cd by them, and that'll probably never change, I just dont think thy're a vg band. Neither is: Megadeath, and I've met Dave Mustaine, and think the only bigger DOUCHE in life is Lars Ullrich.

Plus, they sued Napster, only to succumb to letting their music be put onto peer to peer sites, so they can make even more $$$(which goes against what they supposedly "sued" for in the first place). Not to mention, they're huge hypocrites.

4 and a half good albums makes them fairly notable in my opinion.

Cliff Burton was top 5 greatest metal bassist, ever. Rob>Jason.
Jason was the worst bassist Metallica has had.

Surely, someone will call me out on this, Rob has played in other bands. He is talented, he just isn't playing with very good band-mates.

As the not owning an album, BUY ONE. The RTL-era was good Tallica'.

BTW, I'm not a huge Tallica' fan, they're probably in my top 60-70 favorite bands, though.

I don't hate them for the napster thing. Imagine not being paid for your work. It boils down to that. People think they suck for defending themselves because they want free music. What, I ask, entitles you to free music?

If I hired you to shovel my driveway and you didn't get paid....you'd ask a few questions, no?

Why so much hate over the Napster thing. It's stealing but it has a cool name. Don't be a sheep and rip on it without thinking it over.

As someone else pointed out to you in another thread, Metallica has actually changed a lot over the course of their career. Most of the change was bad but there is no denying that modern day Metallica bears very little resemblance to Metallica at the beginning of their career.

Unfortunately true. God their early stuff was good. I mean it was the best stuff around. I may not like them now but I'm the first one to say wow they were freaking awesome. I miss it.
