….Metallica?

I’m certainly no hardcore fan, but can you beat the likes of ‘One’,’Enter Sandman’ and ‘Nothing Else Matters’?

Discuss

AC/DC
GnR
Sabbath
Maiden
Queensryche
Pearl Jam

Yes (the answer, not the prog rock band)

They should have knocked it on the head after cliff died

?

yes

Led Zep
They [metalicca] have longevity but so do Iron Maiden and Cliff so that is no measure of greatness

megadeth was more my thing, even with the whiney constapated vocal talent of mr mustaine.

Yes,the Maiden..

Yes.

You didnt even use their decent songs as evidence.

Anyway, they are canny but there’s better.

Mackem – it wasn’t a definitive question, for the very reason that I’ve not researched them fully.

More of a searching question?

Ride the Lightning, best Metallica album ever 😀

I would struggle to say better than Led Zep or AC/DC but I’ve been hearing a couple of records recently that float my boat. I may use the itunes voucher my son sold me to sample this new musicical suggestion.

Nah, Metallica don’t do much for me. More from an indie background so I’d rather have Queens of the Stoneage or the Smashing Pumpkins for a rock fix.
Do like a bit of AC/DC but all a bit same-ish.

I have, of late, very much enjoyed a bit of System of a Down. I thought they were one of those bands I hate, like Korn, Limpbizkit etc. Then heard ‘Terracotta Pie’ on a biking video and was hooked!

Hi-five Nik! Reading ‘Hello me, meet the real me’ at the mo’ 8)

Motorhead.

“Ride the Lightning, best Metallica album ever”

Assuming you disqualify Master of Puppets for being unfairly good.

I suppose of the huge rock bands Metallica could be the best… They slumped really badly but seeing them again last year it was obvious they’re back in the game, so much more energy and passion to it. I try and be cynical about Metallica but when they’re good, they’re very good.

The Wildhearts are better though, when they exist.

Led Zep are a million times better. Some kind of monster was entertaining though.

AC/DC
GnR
Sabbath
Maiden
Queensryche
Pearl Jam

GnR: seriously? Slash is a good guitarist, but Axl Rose a better frontman than Hetfield? Perlease! That awful strangled caterwauling sets my teeth on edge.
And as for Queensryche and Pearl Jam, well…
AC/DC are good, but the only band anyone’s listed that are better than Metallica are Zeppelin, and as I’ve seen both live, as well as Sabbath, Purple, QOTSA, Sisters Of Mercy, Killing Joke and Anthrax, among many, I think I have a reasonable perspective.

I plagarised “disposable heroes”, with a few tweaks, for my a-level English. I got away with a B!

20 yrs on, still listen to metallica when I’m doing weights or roadbike now.

Garage days. Ride the Lightning, Master of Puppets. great stuff. got bored of them after And Justice for All.

Metallica are one of those bands I could never get into. IMO the “best” rock band was Thin Lizzy with their superior guitar riffs, harmonies and just great songs. Led Zep and ACDC are fine, but I can do without the screechy annoying singing.

I think stuff from that teenage age in your life just sticks with you and is meaningful.

Slayer

seasons in the abyss or reign in blood?. Teenage life. but I still listen to some of that rage!

Thats for all the people in Great Yarmouth.

And all for Metal – what a booooooooore

Rainbow of the Rising and Onstage era, Dio was at his best and Blackmore never played better either

Has sir not discovered the magical freebie that is Spotify for the cost-free sampling of new music?

Metallica are certainly up there. I saw them last year in Belfast and was amazed by how long they spent talking to fans and distributing gifts after the performance. I saw Saxon at Download and they produced one of the best kick ass performances of the day, if they’d stuck at it they’d be up there too. For me Blue Oyster Cult are still the best rock band ever ever ever.

No, they’re all Krap!

Rainbow? My mum liked Rainbow!
You might as well say Nazareth (who my dad liked)(actually, he also likes Metallica)(he’s 72 btw).
Anything pensioners like has got to be off the list surely 🙂
