A band that took a long time to really hit their stride. Known for their awesome albums ReLoad and StAnger, they came to prominence following these <S>turds</S> awesome albums.
Asshole 1: "Man, Ride the Lightening, Kill 'Em All, and Master of Puppets are nice and all, but I want something with a less technical and less aggressive sound, I'm sick of having my face shredded off"
Asshole 2: "Oh! Give the metallica album, St. Anger, a listen."
Asshole 1: "Fuck my life"

A very great band, who's style ranges from rock to heavy/trash metal.

Anyone who hates them generally is a ''cool'' kid because he listens to Lil Wayne or Jonas Brothers and other shit like that.

People who want to look like they like Metallica will say they like 4 songs: Master Of Puppet, One, Enter Sandman and The Day That Never Comes (if they are even able to remember these names). They are just fucking posers. These song are good, true, but it's the only ones they know.

Peope who actually like Metallica will be able to name other songs than the 4 above, and they will be able to name some albums too.

People who think Metallica is the best band ever (like me) will be able to name you some (or all) of the band members (former and present), name which album X song is on, and have an opinion whether the older Metallica (Ride The Lightning, ...And Justice For All, Kill 'Em All, etc.), the mid Metallica (Load, ReLoad and Metallica (commonly called the ''Black Album)) or the newer Metallica (St. Anger and Death Magnetic) is the best.
''Cool'' kid: Metallica sucks balls Lil Wayne is da shiz.
Me: Dude, you can't compare Metallica and Lil Wayne, that's 2 different styles of music...
''Cool'' kid: YOUR MOM IS 2 DIFFERENT STYLES OF MUSIC! OOOOOOOOH!!! *all his friend cheer him*
Me: ...What?

Me: Dude Death Magnetic is Metallica's best album ever.
My friend: No way Kill 'Em All kicks ass!
My other friend: Guys, guys, guys... ReLoad is the best.
*all 3 of us start telling why our choice is best*

Probably the single greatest, and most successful, Metal band in the history of music. Known for amazing guitar solos, awesome vocals and general awesomeosity. Is Metallica coming to town? You better get on the internet/phone/smoke signals as fast as possible, because tickets sold out yesterday. No matter what day it is. they could have a concert scheduled for your hometown in fifteen years, and guaranteed, there's probably only one ticket left. And it's $666. Of course.
Dude, did you hear? Metallica is coming to town!

I know man. I got tickets three years ago.

Uh....

Guy: Metallica sucks.

Me: Did you know when you say Metallica sucks it's means that you are a homosexual. It's also the same for Iron Maiden.

Guy: Metallica and Iron Maiden kick ass!
