Metallica

One of the greatest, and most prolific bands of all time. They were pioneers in the genre of thrash metal when they started out, with Kill Em' All. Their next three albums, Ride the Lightning, Master of Puppets, and ...And Justice for All, were, and still are, all considered speedmetal masterpieces. When the 90's rolled around, Metallica released a self titled album, nicknamed the black album. This record featured a softer, more mainstream sound, but still had that characteristic Metallica edge to it. After years of tuoring for the black album, Metallica finally went back into the studio to record their 6th album, Load. Load had a much different sound than any of their previous stuff, opting for a more bluesy, hard rock style than the speedmetal that everyone associated the band with. Not too long after Load came out, a follow up album was released, ReLoad, which consisted of other songs that were written during the same time but didn't make it onto the album. Afterwards, an collection of various old cover songs from the 80's was compiled with brand new covers, and released as Garage Inc. And not too long after that came out, Metallica recorded a concert in which they played many of their classic songs, as well as some new ones, with the San Francisco Symphony. The result was the S&M album. Years later, in 2003, Metallica put out their most recent album, St. Anger. The album had mixed reactions among fans and non fans alike, but now, more than two years after its release, hopefully the controversy has died down, and we can all look foward to the next album.

Old Metallica

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.

Metalocalypse

It's a show created by Bendon Small, who happens to me amazing. The Characters are as follows:
Skwisgaar Skwisgelf (taller than a tree)
Toki Wartooth (Not a bumblebee)
William Murderface.
MURDERface.
MURDERFACE.
Pickles... The drummer. (Diddily dong, ding dong, ding, doodily, doodily, doo.)
Nathan Explosion.

Their main purpose is to make insane metalheads laugh. And they succeed.
I'd like to thank Mr. Small, for being so fuckin' AWESOME.

Toki- I can force all the bloods to my heads and gives myself a real cool blowjob! (blood comes out of his nose) THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKIN' ABOUT!
Skwisgaar- He means nosebleed, not blowjob... Idiot.

Also, I happen to be naming my first son after Toki.... Just because Metalocalypse is that cool. :

metalocalypse

The best show on Adult Swim now that Space Ghost is dead and Family Guy is on. Futurama is a close second, but it doesn't come close to the "WTF" humor of Metalocalypse. It rocks so hard that unicorns everywhere are crying blood...a true stoner's show. It follows the exploits of death-metal band Dethklok, the single greatest cultural force in the known universe. Once they endorse a product, that company instantly becomes the sole source for that product, due to every other company going bankrupt.

Stoner 1: Dude...it's almost 1 am...see what's on TV.

Stoner 2: Alright...Food Network...Comedy Central...hey, Cartoon Network, dude. Adult Swim is on.

both stoners: METALOCALYPSE!!

Metallica is a legendary band that helped define the genre of thrash metal (though nowadays their sound can be considered more hard rock or garage than thrash). Their first lineup was James Hetfield (vocals and rhythm guitar), Lars Ulrich (drums), Dave Mustaine (lead guitar), and Ron McGoveney (bass). Ron was replaced with Cliff Burton and Dave was replaced with Kirk Hammett and they released their first album (Kill 'em All) in 1983. The rest of their albums include Ride the Lightning (1984), Master of Puppets (1986), ...And Justice For All (1988), Metallica (aka ''The Black Album'')(1991), Load (1996), Reload (1997), Garage Inc. (1998), S&M (1999), and St. Anger (2003). During their Master of Puppets tour, Cliff Burton died in a tragic bus accident on September 27, 1986. He was replaced with Jason Newsted, and Jason left in the late 90's and was replaced with Robert Trujillo. Metallica has gone through their share of struggles and hardships (Cliff's death, James' alchohol problems, Lars filing a lawsuit against Napster, and conflicts with each other), but they have managed to withstand the test of time and give it their all. Metallica is a great band and those who disagree need to stop making a big deal about it.

Sorry to all the Metallibashers out there, because Metallica's gonna be around for years to come.
