Old School Metallica

Metallica was incredible before they became...like they are now.

Sorry, man they started down this road in 1991.

As an old school Metallica fan from way back in the day, I just have to say that this album and it's songs would never be considered old school Metallica by myself or any of my fellow metal head friends.

This was the album that caused a lot of us to start asking "what the fuck?" 15 years later, still asking........

That said.....

Lighting, Puppets, and Justice are three of THE greatest metal records ever recorded.

I don't think there is any question that Justice is the greatest metal album of all time. It's the fucking benchmark. At least to me.
Puppets= right there behind. These are Metallica's Joshua Tree and Achtung respectively.

I would say there are other metal albums, that expand upon the various genres of metal that are equals to Justice, but for a straight up metal album, it cannot be beat.

ride the lightening = the only metallica worth owning.

i hate puppets.

 

[Jack In The Box]

Lighting, Puppets, and Justice are three of THE greatest metal records ever recorded.

well, I like "old school Metallica" but that's pretty hard to say... maybe Ride the Lighting is one of the greatest Thrash Metal records ever recorded but that's all

 

[MacPhistoPT]

I'm a Metallica fan just for that 5 albums. I don't care for Load and Reload, expect for some songs like "Fuel" and I officially hate St.Anger, I can't listen to that thing.

My favourite is Puppets...

It's a shame they aged so badly... compared to other bands like Iron Maiden...
I'd like to see them live anyway

 

[IWasBored]

does anyone like load or reload?

 

[got_edge]

No.

 

[IWasBored]

that's what i thought. it would be weird if he said he actually liked them.

He who?

 

[IWasBored]

It doesn't matter anyway. Only my opinion should count: I can out-metal anyone here.

 

[IWasBored]

booosh.

 

[U2DMfan]

They do suck, but.....
I think they were both better than the Black Album.
But that's just me.

you can? I don't see 'Reign In Blood' mentioned anywhere...

 

[IWasBored]

slayer!!!

 

[MacPhistoPT]

Black album is over-produced but has better songs than Load or Reload

 

[got_edge]

you can?

 

[Lila64]

bring it!

 

[IWasBored]

again: slayer!!!!

 

[got_edge]

bring it!

Shall we take this outside?

 

[roy]

The only Metallica album I could ever get into was Ride The Lightning. That album has moments of brilliance.

 

[Lila64]

Shall we take this outside?

don't make me go all Cannibal Corpse on yer arse

 

[IWasBored]

cannibal corpse suck(s).

 

[Lila64]

of course they do - as do most bands with death growling vocals, like Six Feet Under I saw Arch Enemy, but I had to go hang out at the bar after the first few songs. Her vocals are ungodly...

Such confidence!

I once had the "Enter Sandman" riff stuck in my head for weeks. Some of their songs are catchy...the Black Album is probably the only one I could listen to regularly, not being an extreme metal fan.

 

[U2DMfan]

Orion

Now that song is an underrated gem.
