WELCOME TO A METALLICA SHRINE.

Metallica is an American heavy metal band that formed in 1981 in Los Angeles, California. Founded when drummer Lars Ulrich posted an advertisement in a Los Angeles newspaper, Metallica's original line-up consisted of Ulrich, rhythm guitarist and vocalist James Hetfield, lead guitarist Dave Mustaine, and bassist Ron McGovney. McGovney and Mustaine were later ejected from the band, in favor of Cliff Burton and Kirk Hammett, respectively. The ejection of Mustaine has subsequently resulted in a feud between him and Metallica. Mustaine later went on to form Megadeth. In 1986, Metallica's tour bus skidded out of control, and Burton was crushed under the bus and was killed. Jason Newsted replaced him, although he left the band in 2001 and was replaced by Robert Trujillo in 2003.

METALLICA.

Since when did Heavy Metal have a good tune? Since Metallica. Ride the Lightning, a masterpiece of thrash metal was Metallica's second album. Their third album Master of Puppets is not thrash, as such, but every track is almost as unrelenting as Ride The Lightening. It has "Sanitarium" on it - a complete and utter masterpiece!

The Black Album, slower, was standard speed Metal music, a very high quality album, relying on catchy cords more than speed. The Black Album is Metallica's most well known album and is the best Heavy Metal album ever. Even Load and Re-Load are excellent although by their own admission, they no longer create music that we call Heavy Metal. Load and Reload contain some annoying tracks, but some like "Bleeding Me" which are unforgettable. Metallica evolved from top class Thrash to produce the best heavy metal around, then on to "power metal", and they are currently moving in a strange folk truck-driver type of direction.

Kill 'em all (Debut, 1983)
I know fans of Metallica and thrash metal will disagree but I find this to be the worst album. The lyrics are poor and meaningless, the style is thrash metal (this was a founding album of the Thrash genre) at the expense of most emotion or feeling. Just a whole series of similar tracks... low clarity and no excitement. This is my opinion. I just don't see what's in the album.

I like The Four Horsemen and Motorbreath most. The album isn't unlistenable... it's very well played but I just don't like it. So there!
