General What movie, album and book have you watched, listened to and read most often in your life?

[John Lee Pettimore]

Maybe we have some unexpected crossovers.

For me:

Movie: Probably Jurassic Park. If not that, then likely Office Space or The Devil Wears Prada.

Book: Either The Catcher in the Rye, or The Long Walk.

Album: Definitely Nirvana Unplugged in New York, no question about that one.



You?

[Speaker to Animals]

Movie, probably Citizen Kane.

Book, probably the LOTR trilogy.

Specific album?
Oh, that's tough. I listened to the first four Metallica records so often.

Each and every Beatles record.

Grateful Dead, Pink Floyd... that would be very difficult to pick out.

 

[Freeloading Rusty]

Book: Either The Catcher in the Rye

What’s your thoughts on Holden?

Arrogant little asshole or misunderstood victim of sexual abuse?

This was my teenage years.

Add in some GnR and we have a party.

Vintage 1970 here. I remember my childhood by movies and records releases.

Yeah, Ride the Lightning is going to be top 5 for me as well. I never got why Puppets got all the love - to me, Ride the Lightning is much stronger. Even to the extent that I like Creeping Death better than I like the song Master of Puppets.

Master of Puppets (the song) S&M version KO1 album version too, fight me.

I think a little from column A, a little from column B. He always seemed a bit autistic to me as well, even before I knew what that was.

A friend of mine's father gave me a paperback copy when I was 11, and told me "you'll like this." He was right.

I didn’t get an autistic feel but I definitely recognized the red flags of an abused child with a mistrust of adults and the system that failed him.

 

[TheFifthScallop]

Movie: Original Star Wars Trilogy, Wayne’s World, Who Framed Roger rabbit.

Book: To Kill a Mockingbird, Slaughterhouse Five

Album: Pink Floyd Animals, Talking Heads Stop Making Sense, Jefferson Airplane Surrealistic Pillow, Cake Fashion Nugget Prolonging the Magic Comfort Eagle

One of the worst little bitches in the world. Horrible book.

The albums after Justice don't exist in my world. Justice barely gets by.

 

[John Lee Pettimore]

I didn’t get an autistic feel but I definitely recognized the red flags of an abused child with a mistrust of adults and the system that failed him.

I remember as a child noticing small things here and there - he complains whenever anyone touches him, he's very rigid in his behaviour, he doesn't care about food or fashion or being cool, he displays inappropriate emotional reactions to upsetting situations (like the suicide jumper from his dorm)..... just little things here and there made sense to me as a kid.

But there's one album where you learn what to fight fire with. Remember that next time you burst into flame

Justice is good shit.

Harvester of Sorrow and Dyers Eve.

Nuff said.

Death Magnetic is a great album also.

One of the worst little bitches in the world. Horrible book.

Everywhere you go, someone else has been there first and scribbled "fuck you" on the wall. (from memory, could be all wrong)

 

[John Lee Pettimore]

Ride the Lightning has:

For Whom the Bell Tolls
Fade To Black
Trapped Under Ice
Escape
Creeping Death

Ridiculous five-song stretch.

I think hating on the black album is a bit cheesy, too. It has a bunch of great tracks on it. They can't just release the same album over and over for a decade.

Justice had moments.

Then the haircuts and piercings and emo hit them.
They stopped, they quit, they were Metallica

 

[Freeloading Rusty]

Anyone listen to that new album they just released? A bunch of different artist doing covers of their most favourite Metallica song. Meh.

 

[Freeloading Rusty]

They stopped, they quit, they were Metallica

whiplash is one of my fave Metallica songs.

Yeah Death Magnetic gets slept on for sure. I was flat out shocked that they came out with an album that good.

I was just talking about this with a friend yesterday. They shared the top of the game in their genre. And like all bands, I think they wanted to grow musically. Who wants to play the same songs and solos for decades?

I just think they didn't have anywhere to go. Speed metal was their thing.
And mine, but it's had its day.
Nu metal is meaningless to me.

 

[Hauler]

Movie: Probably Reservoir Dogs. Or El Dorado (John Wayne). Although I used to watch the hell out of Full Metal Jacket too.

Book: I read a lot, but I don't think I've read a book twice.

Album: Probably Van Halen 5150. Or Metallica's Master of Puppets.

Hardwired to self destruct also doesn’t get the respect it deserves for a bunch of old guys.
