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!"

Get the Metallica Virgin mug.Related Words
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.

Get the metallica noob mug.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.

Get the Metallica breath mug.A song that changes the musical genre in the middle of the song, as many Metallica songs do. A good example is the Metallica song "One", that starts out easy, but ends in metal.

Get the Metallica Syndrome mug.Otherwise known as the horrible affliction that swept the previously incredible 80's thrash metal bands in the early 90's, reducing them to greedy, selfish, hypocritical sell-out posers.
Subjects exhibiting Metallica Syndrome copies everything the disease's namesake does; build up a huge, devoted fanbase in the mid-80's underground by making fast, heavy, amazing albums, then suddenly fuck over all those true fans by releasing a softer, mainstream,album sometime around 1992-is, a sell-out album.
Later symptoms include earning a huge amount of money and even more fans (mostly weekend headbangers and posers), while abandoning devoted original fanbase, and core values and the style they were famous for in the first place.
More signs bands have Metallica Syndrome include a sudden, sharp increase of the band's attempted publicity, like on TV and the radio, conforming with mainstream music and its neverending attempt to force you to hear their music.
The last and most obvious symptom of the disease is making a 'comeback album', an CD like their 80's albums in style and intensity, basically one that should've been released in place of the shit albums. These albums sell just as well, if not better than their previous tries, and are often critically acclaimed as 'a return' or 'the comeback'. Most of the time, the bands have gone through a shitload of lineup changes and record labels, and don't sound the same, though faggot posers who say they like whatever band argue they do.

Unfortunately, several of the best thrash metal bands have been infected with Metallica Syndrome:
1. Megadeth (their non '...' containing album titles and Endgame)
2. Testament (anything in the 90's, basically, and The Formation of Damnation)
3. Exodus (1991-2007, followed by The Atrocity Exhibition later that year)
