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)
1. Master of Puppets is Metallica's best album ever.

2. "Dont lizzen to teh Slippnot!!11 U msut get REEL metyl liek Metallica adn Slayer!!1 lolz!"

An 80's thrash metal band that sold out. The only current talented member being James Hetfield for his superb writing and awesome picking hand, they were only good on the first 3 albums. After that they forgot how to play and got cocky in interviews and live. This band sunk to the lowest depths from around 1993 to now. I would say Death Magnetic is good like all the other reviewers, but it's completely repetitive and the digital quality is terrible. Plus, James' lyrics have no meaning anymore. I mean, when they started they had no money and actual life issues, but now it's kinda stupid to be singing about suicide and how life sucks when you're on top of the world. Anyway, yay Metallica, yahoo........
"Hey, you ever listened to Metallica?"

"Yeah, they're okay, but Slayer's better."

"Who's that?"

".........."

This shows a Metallica fanboy interacting with a really metal guy.

Metallica is the act of licking any metal surface in cold weather, with the desirable result of a stuck tongue. Surfaces can include poles, cars, sheet metal and basically any metal surface found in a cold environment.
