a band that originated in the late 80's that brought the head thumping, metal music into mainstream media and is heavily regarded as one of the greatest bands of all time. Although same may discredit thier music or how "hard" the music is, it's hard to deny the fact that Metallica has defined the the genre and how it has influenced bands to this day.
Although many bands have tried to "out do" metallica, the band still has some best selling albums in the world.

1 the thing that is written on each high school desk i've seen
2 a good band that pioneered the 80's,ruled the 90's,and in 2003 they decided to make a change-well-changes can be good....not this one:riffing the same stupid chord 7 minutes,yelling like a 13 year old homo kid who got his dick cut off in a chainsaw accident,and humping the drum kit so it sounds like a churchbell(well that can be interesting in some songs)...is not a good change...

The greatest thrash metal band known to man, comprised of James Hetfield (singer/rythym guitarist), Lars Urlrich (drummer/founding member), Kirk
Hammett (lead guitarist/god), and Robert Trujillo (bassist). Former members include (but are not limited to) Dave Mustaine, Cliff Burton, and Jason Newsted.
Metallica has released 9 major albums
-Kill Em All
-Ride the Lightning
-Master of Puppets
-...And Justice for All
-Metallica (aka the Black Album)
-Load
-Reload
-St. Anger
-Death Magnetic
Metallica also released other projects, such as S&M, where the band recorded some of their greatest hits with the SFSO; Garage, Inc., a strictly cover disc set; and Some Kind of Monster, a documentary on the making of St. Anger.
Metallica is amazing. Don't deny it.

The Gods of metal, and the cd "MASTER OF PUPPETS" is their holy grail.
It doesn't get any better than these guys. Known for their grinding riffs, melodious interludes, and crazy guitar solos, they're the most kick ass band out there.
During the recording of the solo for the song Master of Puppets, Kirk isnt even sure what he did for one part. He pulled some sort of artificial harmonic and did something wierd on accident with the string that gave this sick sound that they liked, so they decided to keep it. Even when he screws up, it sounds sick!

There is no definition but "awesome!" they've sold fuck loads of albums, they still fuckin rock the stage live (ST ANGER tour ruled) and still produce good music to the day! (i'd like to clarify that i do like Megadeth aswell, there is no need for the bickering considering megadeth have released fuckin loads anyway!) James Hetfield is God! Kirk is Brilliant, Rob is Fuckin Raw! Lars is short! hahaha that little dane fuckin rules too! "Metal God" bless you Dave Mustaine aswell for releasin more metal (it means more CD's you little moanin bastards!)
Battery, One , Creeping Death, Dyers Eve, Fade to Black, Nothing Else Matters, Seek and Destroy, Master of Puppets, Sanitarium, Disposable Heroes! it goes on i might aswell list the whole list but u don't wanna read all of it you'd rather listen to Metallica!

Probably one of theee best metal bands to ever walk this earth. also known as one of the biggest sellout bands. true, but just cause you've sold out doesnt mean you suck. Metallica is and will be forever one of thee best metal bands. Anything past the 4 first albums is kinda shitty but not all of it.
Dude, metallica is fucking awesome.
