The BEST band in history.A group of well talented musicians who have grown up and seen that thrash does not equal talent.Also a band that cant keep a freaking bassist!James Hetfield is the lead singer and rythm guitarist Kirk Hammett is the lead guitarist and for now Rob somethin or other cant remember the correct spelling of his name bass.and the only member of the band that Should of been replaced Lars Ulrich, drums. They produced a album called ST.Anger after James was released from re-hab due to a serious alchohol addictionRock on James for stepping up and being a man about itThis album is known to many to completely suck,however this select few have no taste in real music and do not realize that this album had the deepest lyrics of all of them.All members however are family oriented and have families of their own.Very kind to fans I've met them at every tour and they have been very respectfuland have a good sense of humor.All in all a group of good guys!
Metallica rules!Would be better without lars

ancient obsolete metal band notorious for being total assholes to their fans about the whole downloading thing, which amusingly they now acknowledge was a mistakte.

They are very, very old, seriously.
a verbal impersonation and encapsulation of metallica:
20 years ago we were pretty cool, then we turned int assholes, then we turned into assholes that made music like spinal tap, now we're just a joke that everyone hates. we suck

1.Heavy Metal's biggest let-down. 2.Diamond Head rip-offs (compare "Seek and Destroy" to Diamond Head's "Sucking my love"). 3. Thin Lizzy - "Whiskey In The Jar" butchers.

A band which was once thrash....during the 80s, then took a turn in the very early 90s and became Hard Rock, they have been declining ever since and have become a nu metal band, being the big boys amongst gay bands such as Linkin Park and mudvayne.

METALLICA

VVVVVVVVV

!!there may be a wah wah pedal in there....yes the weapon of choice by the average Kirk Hammett..the most overrated guitarist in "metal" the wannabe shredder...on the St Anger album he does not play any solos, there may be a few explanations 1)he lost his wah wah pedal and needs to sue some fans to get the money to replace it or 2)he saw some good guitarists like Steve Vai and Yngwie Malmsteen and thought ill never be like them i should just stop trying.

!!an 8 minute song with 1 riff, a de tuned E string riff which will go on forever, stop---and make you think a solos coming up but disappoint you again and go straight back into the riff

!!a drummer playing with dustbins

!!many many ugly ugly bassists

!!your friend gets taken to court for downloading, tut tut metallica at it again

!!when lars(drummer) says "we are the best thrash band on the planet" but then says a few years later "we can play what we want , we arent a thrash band"

!!they have went from wearing jeans, drinking beer on stage, having fights...to a gucci wearing group of millionaires fighting over who gets to fly the private jet

Metallica = shit thrash now nu metal

Megadeth = THE thrash band , 1,000,000 times better than craptallica

Metallica is the name of a band which has made many famous songs including the one Enter Sandman.

They are also a bunch of ruthless thugs who shut down Napster and tear up houses with crazy parties before they give it up to the person who just bought it beforehand.
There is proof that Metallica ruined a house before they sold it. We all know about napster too...

A band who use fast, but easy guitar riffs, rediculously cheesy lyrics sung in a girly-man tone, and trash can drums. Metallica are to be avoided at all costs.

Surgeon General's Warning: Metallica's horrid music may cause bleeding of the ears and ripping of the hair from the scalp by oneself.
'Tallica Sheep: Yeah, dude! Metallica rule!!! HELL YEAH! *prong*

Educated Individual: No, Metallica are the worst band on earth. They need to have their arms amputated so they may never again make music.
