Metallica, huh? Uh...I was gonna play "The Unnamed Feeling" with my drummer for a class presentation. That's cool, right?

I like thrash metal, but the Black Album is actually my favourite Metallica album. I mean, Master of Puppets and ...And Justice For All are solid metal albums, but the Black Album is a real rock classic. Yes, the songwriting is more mainstream, but it's also much more disciplined, more cultured, and of a higher quality in my opinion.
But on the whole, I prefer Megadeth to Metallica :p .

Meh... i'm not gonna talk alot about Metallica but i will say this, IMO ...And Justice For All was their Last true buck the system album for me. sure the Black album was good.. from a mainstream POV. but many of the Diehard fans saw it as a sellout. it just wasn't the the same to me.
First metallica song i learned was Seek and Destroy followed by Sanatarium and Creeping Death.that was playing Bass. first Guitar somg i learned by metallica was One and (Enter Sandman only cause the band wanted to play it).
First song i ever played on Bass was Changin Times by Nazereth
Guitar- Breaking the Chains by Dokken and Too Much by AC/DC.
I prefer to play Great songs that weren't as popular, but thats just me.

I sincerely hope this thread doesn't degenerate into "Metallica are crap or "They were better wth Mustaine", like every other thread i have ever seen involving Metallica.
If anyone here wrote something on par with "Nothing Else Matters" or "The Unforgiven", i'm sure they'd be pretty happy.

when i first got into metallica i got into the black album but it kinda slipped away as i started to listen to master of puppets and ride the lightenin more (not the biggest fan of justice, but one is a pretty cool song).
And as for don't_tread_on_me, i'm sure people would be happy, but in terms of metallica, they'd already demonstrated that they could produce much more powerful and original material and it must have been dissapointing at the time for metallica fans to be waiting for the next amazing album and been given a pop rock metal anthem album.

Okay, The Black Album was more mainstream, but lyrically and musically, it had a much broader emotional and intellectual spectrum than most of its predecessors. I mean, Master of Puppets had excellent concepts, but the lyrics were a bit clumsy; Ride the Lightning had great music, but the concepts were cliche; and Kill 'em All was just cheese, IMHO. I think that the band "grew up" a lot after the death of Cliff, which probably explains why ...And Justice For All was such an intense album; their post-Burton songs are much more mature and reflective. I grant you that the Newsted lineup could never have written "Fade to Black", "Sanitarium" or "Leper Messiah"; but I don't think the Burton lineup could have written "One", "The Unforgiven" or "Low Man's Lyric". I think that 90s-era Metallica is certainly more mainstream than their early work, but it's not necessarily worse, IMHO - just different.

yer thats true, and i guess they have artist rite and so on so forht, but for all those metallica fans, they didn want metallica too change, they thot they were perfect as they were. but then again it mita been a good thing cause unlike megadeth which imo kinda did the same thing for a long time and wore out, metallica did keep it fresh, but perhaps ripped off it's hardcore following.
