For what it was I didn't think it was terrible but then for me at the time and still now, Metallica SUCKS!

It really hurts me to say that as I can vividly remember in '84 when Ride The Lightning came out, I put that cassette in my cheap walkman knock off and head out for a walk around town. By the time I reached the end of the garage the volume was on 10 and I thought to myself "This is it. This is what I've been looking for musically all of my life". Fast forward a half decade and I could not believe the absolute shit that was now being called Metallica......

I'm with you, Paul... For me the last good one they did was the Black Album, before they got all full of themselves (S & M.. wtf??... ). Anything before was pretty edgy for those days.... and something we'd walk around the hood blasting on the boom box, LOL!

My walkman always had one of their first three albums loaded in it as well. Enjoyed Garage Days as well, but they kinda lost me after that.

There are a few tune on the Black album that are good, and it would have been an excellent album for so many other bands but it's no Metallica album. AT the time I understodd their excuse, they said after recording the technical and musical master piece that is Justice and then touring a couple years playing those 8-9 minute tunes they were beat and just did the Black album as kinda a break or rest and would be jumping right back into it.

Then James decided he wanted to sing (which he still can't) and felt the need to go "yow-wow" at the end of ever verse.......then the napster shit and soon we found that James and LArs were not the guys they had been, but rather a bunch of douche bags only concerned with the bottom line.

Is that a new version of "Seek & Destroy"? SOunds like something they may do now. :)
 
I think ill be on my own on this one... but I liked Metallica up till about St Anger. My first real concert was Metallica in 97. On the Load tour. I was 16 at the time... that might say something for itself right there. Only started listening to them around the time the Black album came out. Obviously I quickly turned to their back catalog. I also really liked Garage Inc.

After he lost his voice the vocals suffered badly. Only to get worse as the years went by. Biggest mistake they made was letting Jason leave. He was the only one holding shit together IMO.

Newstead's album rips by the way.

Last tape I blasted by them in a boombox was Ride the Lightning. I had a Sharp G-777Z back then and it was at every party in Montgomery, Fulton and Saratoga Counties back in the day LOL
 
I may be in the minority here but I always felt the Black Album was their last good one. Of Wolf and Man is still one of my faves for pure heaviness

I did pick up Garage, Inc. as well.
 
I have St Anger, Load, Reload, Garage Inc, Death Magnetic and Some Kind of Monster on CD. All have a few decent songs, I did like Death Magnetic a bit, kind of going back to their old sound on it. Some Kind of Monster I never heard of before, I just bought it because I never saw it before, I guess it's the Soundtrack to a movie??? I still have not played it LMAO
 
Live at Grimeys was an exceptionally poor album... vocals are gawd awful.
 
I have these on vinyl.



and a bunch of other CD's.

In From The Cold is a wicked live show from about a month after Jason joined.
 
I sold off most of my Metallica records when prices were real high. I still have 2 different copies of Teutonicus Furvor (there is 6 different versions), the rare as hell Vertigo Metallipromo and a Creeping Death orig picture disc
