A band that wrote amazing albums such as Rise the Lightning and The Black Album in the 80's and early 90's, but then sold out with the album Load and have sucked every since.
Person 1: Dude have you heard the newest Metallica album?
Person 2: Metallica sold out with Load, I don't listen to them anymore.

A phrase coined by metallica themselves meaning someone who hasn't seen metallica play live or is seeing them for the very first time. Upon seeing them play, a person loses their metallica virginity.
Person 1: "I saw metallica for the first time yesterday, they were fucking brilliant!"
Person 2: "Congratulations, you're no longer a Metallica Virgin. Welcome to the family!"

As said by Metallica fans:
Also known as early Metallica. A time period in Metallicas lifetime when their highest quality music was produced and before they sold out to the music industry and became complete hypercrites. Usually the time period is before Load or the Black Album was released, depending on how you look at it.

Completely shocking. Metallica has completely changed their message, attitude, and even their genre of music... and there nothing more on the face of the earth that angers me more. I'd say something like "James, I'm madly in anger with you", but that would require me to admit that i actually listened to their new crap. Their lyrics have changed from brutal statements of the truth of the world (except for battery... i have no idea what that song's about) to angsty "I hate the world but i'm too busy feeling sorry for myself to try to change it" stuff that appeals to pimps and Iron Maiden fans who've never heard of Eddie. I mean, if you listend to Saint Anger, you sit there and wonder "Did They even listen to kill em all?". The lyrics aren't deep or truthful; they are angsty and damn near emo. If I hadn't heard Ride the Lightning, I'd swear that they don't know how to play their instruments, but they can. They just choose not to for some reason. New Metallica's songs are about what people want to hear, not about what Metallica wants to say, there is no denying that. So, as music is a method of self expression, it can be argued that the new metallica is not even music. The original style of metallica is dead, but to add insult to injury, the mainstream which has grabbed them and disfigured their music to sound just like Slayer and Iron Maiden and nearly every other popular band (About nothing, no change in tempo, and sounds exactly the same) also claims that the true metallica music was uninspired, boring, and immature. "They did some demo recordings called "Kill em all", "Ride the Lightning", "Master of Puppets", and "And justice for all" " ?!?!?!!?!?!? Master of puppets is a masterpiece. Music like that is NOT easy to play at all. The guitars are more important than the lyrics. Can you even imagine the new "metallica" doing an instrumental? Metallica started in their prime and left it. They forgot what their music is about. They forgot how to play their instruments. Hetfield forgot how to sing. They forgot to forget to get a haircut. New metallica is uninspired, boring, severely unintellegent, lethargic, tallentless, drab, pointless and meaningless. And guess what? ALL YOU NEW IDIOTS LOVE IT! If an autistic 9 year old missing 3 fingers can play a song on guitar, it is NOT really metallica. A decent riff has not escaped James Hetfield's guitar since "Fuel", and that one only had 4 different notes in it so it barely counts. Metallica are thrash, and these new guys are nothing.

Usually someone that is new to metal that knows of and listens only to the music of Metallica, considering them heaviest, best, fastest music on the planet. They also somehow get the idea that they have dominant musical knowledge of everyone else in the room because of this. Metallica noobs are known to constantly complain about how Metallica sold out with The Black Album. They also use "death metal," "black metal," and "thrash metal" interchangeably (despite their vast differences) when describing bands other than Metallica, then claim that they "don't give a fuck about genres" when they are corrected by real metal fans. Most of these kids probably listen to Slipknot.
Metallica Noob: Metallica is the best metal band ever d00d! Master of Puppets is the greatest album ever! It's so heavy and fast! Dave Mustaine is gay! Rock on!
Me: Metallica's a great band, but thrash is just one type of metal that will eventually start to get old. You should check out some death metal like Cannibal Corpse or Bloodbath. It's not quite fast but a little bit heavier. Or maybe even some 90's black metal like Dissection. And I happen to like Megadeth, bitch.
MN: Shut up, poser. You don't know anything about metal.

Also known as Godsmack, a post-grunge alternative metal band known for ripping off Metallica. Vocalist Sully Erna sings as if doing a bad James Hetfield impression and steals song names and ideas from Metallica albums. Godsmack's newest album contains two songs with identical titles as Metallica tracks, "Bleeding Me" (from Load) and "Temptation" (a St. Anger b-side). Blatantly ripped off from Metallica is Godsmack's "The Enemy", with an uncanny resemblance to "Sad But True" (The Black Album). Ironically, the lyrics in this song relate to a cheap, sub-standard mockery of an original. Sully sings "I know, everbody knows you're tryin' to be like me... but even at your best as a man you couldn't equal half of me." Maybe James should have written that song about Sully.
Any Metallica fan listening to Godsmack will burst out in laughter when they see the obvious mimicry.

Metallica let Godsmack open for them on the "Madly in Anger With You Tour" '04 to make themselves look like gods in comparison. Godsmack was just Metallica Jr.
