metallica

The only band that really went through a transition and an experiment in something else (lighter metal) but succeeded anyways.
A lot of fans of Metallica are pissed that they did that but, they are coming back to the original stuff! That and the most mainstreamed they got was ENTER SANDMAN, which wasn't a half bad song. And do you think that they had in their minds that they could make that album go mainstream?

UTAH+METALLICA=SUPER ROCK OUT!!!!!!!!!!

Metallica, simply, are the best band that this planet has ever produced.

Metallica

The best metal band in history, they are considered one of the 4 greatest metal bands along with megadeth, slayer, and anthrax, but metallica is the best in my opinion. They have released great tracks such as, Master of Puppets, Fade to Black, One, Welcome Home(Sanitarium), Orion, and The Four Horsemen. They lost Cliff Burton in a bus accident in Sweden, the tour bus went off road and he flew out the window and was crushed by the bus. R.I.P Cliff Burton, we'll miss you and he was one of the best bassists ever.

James Hetfield- Vocals and rhythm guitar
Lars Ulrich- Drums
Kirk Hammett- Lead Guitar
Robert Trujillo- Bass and backing vocals

Past members...

Metallica

One of the greatest thrash/speed metal bands ever to grace the earth, who have gained much criticism (some of which is understandable) over the suing of Napster for illegal downloads of their music and for the rather shite St. Anger album. Seeing as Metallica are my favourite band this is my attempt to be as unbiased as possible. Ok, I admit St. Anger was one of the worst albums ever made by a band of such quality. And maybe Load and ReLoad disappointed many Diehard Metal fans. But they were still good quality, but rather attempted to aim at a wider, more accessible market with a more rock sound. Megadeth and Metallica have shared many feuds over the last couple of decades, but there is no denying that Dave Mustaine is a far better guitarist than Kirk Hammett. On the flip side I think James is a better vocalist. If you combine the lyrics and vocals of Four Horsemen with the guitaring of Mechanix, the song would be truly amazing. It is a great shame that Dave left the band at such a promising stage because he in my opinion, would of had a major influence on the direction of Metallica. The band has been through a lot too, losing a member is not easy. Cliff was an amazing bassist and is sorely missed by many who idolised and loved him. I guess what I'm trying to say is that Metallica have become famous and people are annoyed because they are more mainstream but lets be honest even the last 3 albums have seldom been played on UK radio. I have only ever heard Enter Sandman and Nothing Else Matters played on radio..They aren't sellouts-just clever businessmen.
P.S Old school metal rules. New stuff sucks...

New style metal fan: Hey, have you heard Bullet For My Valentine's new album?

Something that was at some point in time brilliantly spectacular but has since degenerated into utter crap.

Metallica

The most popular heavy metal band of their time (which still continues today).
These dudes totally killed it with their debut album "Kill 'em All" and has been rockin' it ever since. They totally changed heavy metal. Many bands of today have been obviously inspired by them, such as: Disturbed, Pillar, DragonForce (believe it or not, Metallica is in their Special Thanks section on their Inhuman Rampage album), Red, and Aftershock (my band, totally underground.)
Inducted into the Rock 'N Roll Hall of Fame after releasing their newest album, "Death Magnetic". This album made Platinum in the first two weeks of release.

Brad: "Hey, who do you think is the coolest metal band of all time?"
Billy: "Psssh, Metallica of course."
