A band of ego bloated, arrogant rock stars who have become too drunk with fame and mass popularity to remember the musical roots and attitude which moved them into the scene in the first place.
They were for a time in the 1980's, a group of highly skilled and good heavy metal songwriters but ran low of that ability towards the end of the decade and this coincided with the tragic death of Cliff Burton and drummer, Lars Ulrich taking more of a leading role over the other members and using his hunger for the rock star world and apathy towards the heavy metal music and lifestyle which was the core of the band.
This band has no regard for the current heavy metal scene, this is evident with the mallcore bands they toured with after St Anger and they will never release anything of any worth to that scene again whilst bands that came before them like Iron Maiden and Judas Priest continue to release quality, honest, pure Heavy Metal.
Metallica have become everything they used to laugh at.

Jimmy: "Hey have you heard metallica's new album, St Anger? It's got no solos and "Shoot me Again" sounds like it could have been written by Disturbed!"
Pete: "Sponging off the current trends in heavy rock whilst claiming they've written a great metal album to boost their egos even more?....yep, that's Metallica for ya"

Get the metallica mug.A band that appeals to 40-ish guys who work as middle managers at Brandsmart. Balding ex-metal group from the mid-80s that won't retire and continues to make horrible music with no rhythm or form. A band that literally isn't fit to lick the buttsweat off Slayer's balls. Still living off the success of a couple of OK metal albums released from 1983-86.
Metallica is in the studio with Nelly and Bob Segar again.
Even Rick Rubin can't produce an album that doesn't suck with Metallica in the studio. Lars Ulrich plays drums like he's got Parkinson's disease.

Get the Metallica mug.An outdated group of somewhat talented mucisians who appeal to trailor park crowds. They can play a guitar but that's about it. Their vocals consist of repetative phrases that sound powerful or moving (especially if u dont think about them) but dont actually have a meaning.

Get the metallica mug.1. A thrash metal band from the 1980's. Are widely known as one of the metal genre's biggest influences. Some of their best albums are Master of Puppets and their self-titled "Black Album", for those who would like a listen. However, these two albums are really their only good ones.
2. Along with Slayer, one of the most popular bands for "true metal fans" to mention when attempting to tell others not to listen to "fake nu metal". They're not even THAT great, guys. Only two of their albums are really worth mentioning - the ones mentioned above, and those are really old. Besides, they're sellouts themselves (see St. Anger)
