Metallica is a legendary band that helped define the genre of thrash metal (though nowadays their sound can be considered more hard rock or garage than thrash). Their first lineup was James Hetfield (vocals and rhythm guitar), Lars Ulrich (drums), Dave Mustaine (lead guitar), and Ron McGoveney (bass). Ron was replaced with Cliff Burton and Dave was replaced with Kirk Hammett and they released their first album (Kill 'em All) in 1983. The rest of their albums include Ride the Lightning (1984), Master of Puppets (1986), ...And Justice For All (1988), Metallica (aka ''The Black Album'')(1991), Load (1996), Reload (1997), Garage Inc. (1998), S&M (1999), and St. Anger (2003). During their Master of Puppets tour, Cliff Burton died in a tragic bus accident on September 27, 1986. He was replaced with Jason Newsted, and Jason left in the late 90's and was replaced with Robert Trujillo. Metallica has gone through their share of struggles and hardships (Cliff's death, James' alchohol problems, Lars filing a lawsuit against Napster, and conflicts with each other), but they have managed to withstand the test of time and give it their all. Metallica is a great band and those who disagree need to stop making a big deal about it.

Sorry to all the Metallibashers out there, because Metallica's gonna be around for years to come.

Metallica
a band that originated in the late 80's that brought the head thumping, metal music into mainstream media and is heavily regarded as one of the greatest bands of all time. Although same may discredit thier music or how "hard" the music is, it's hard to deny the fact that Metallica has defined the the genre and how it has influenced bands to this day.

Although many bands have tried to "out do" metallica, the band still has some best selling albums in the world.

1 the thing that is written on each high school desk i've seen

2 a good band that pioneered the 80's,ruled the 90's,and in 2003 they decided to make a change-well-changes can be good....not this one:riffing the same stupid chord 7 minutes,yelling like a 13 year old homo kid who got his dick cut off in a chainsaw accident,and humping the drum kit so it sounds like a churchbell(well that can be interesting in some songs)...is not a good change...

1 MetallicA

There is no definition but "awesome!" they've sold fuck loads of albums, they still fuckin rock the stage live (ST ANGER tour ruled) and still produce good music to the day! (i'd like to clarify that i do like Megadeth aswell, there is no need for the bickering considering megadeth have released fuckin loads anyway!) James Hetfield is God! Kirk is Brilliant, Rob is Fuckin Raw! Lars is short! hahaha that little dane fuckin rules too! "Metal God" bless you Dave Mustaine aswell for releasin more metal (it means more CD's you little moanin bastards!)

Battery, One , Creeping Death, Dyers Eve, Fade to Black, Nothing Else Matters, Seek and Destroy, Master of Puppets, Sanitarium, Disposable Heroes! it goes on i might aswell list the whole list but u don't wanna read all of it you'd rather listen to Metallica!

Metallica
Probably one of theee best metal bands to ever walk this earth. also known as one of the biggest sellout bands. true, but just cause you've sold out doesnt mean you suck. Metallica is and will be forever one of thee best metal bands. Anything past the 4 first albums is kinda shitty but not all of it.

Dude, metallica is fucking awesome.

Metallica
The only band that really went through a transition and an experiment in something else (lighter metal) but succeeded anyways.
A lot of fans of Metallica are pissed that they did that but, they are coming back to the original stuff! That and the most mainstreamed they got was ENTER SANDMAN, which wasn't a half bad song. And do you think that they had in their minds that they could make that album go mainstream?

UTAH+METALLICA=SUPER ROCK OUT!!!!!!!!!!
