When Ride the Lightning came out, Hetfield and Ulrich were 21.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.
Some great performances in there, for sure. Creeping Death in particular has incredible energy.Metallica’s Binge and Purge box set is a thing of beauty.
At this point there wasn’t many old-school metal bands who hadn’t changed.Justice had moments.
Then the haircuts and piercings and emo hit them.
They stopped, they quit, they were Metallica
My problem wasn't that they wanted to do something a little different, I just didn't like the product.When Ride the Lightning came out, Hetfield and Ulrich were 21.
Master of Puppets, they were 23.
Black album? They were 28.
Were you into exactly the same music, movies, style in your late 20s, as you were in your early 20s? Probably not - most of us changed a lot over that time. So did they. ?
And yeah, totally agree - they were working in a very narrow genre that they basically became the kings of....... but staying rigidly within the bounds of one specific genre which was entering its death spiral........ yeah, I don't blame them for producing something a little more commercial friendly. Speed/thrash metal is a young man's genre.

Megadeth.
I always thought that Vulgar Display of Power and (especially) Reinventing the Steel were two of the ATG metal album names.At this point there wasn’t many old-school metal bands who hadn’t changed.
And then came along Pantera with one of the greatest metal albums of all time, the Great Southern Trend Kill. It was like a nail in the coffin for all those old dinosaurs.
Metallica much more charismatic, though.Megadeth.
Better musicians, and Dave is simply a better player than Kirk.
Funny thing is that for as much as I love the genre(and it may have been influenced by being in several metal bands), a lead singer can kill the whole deal for me. I don't like Pantera as much as I could because of it.I always thought that Vulgar Display of Power and (especially) Reinventing the Steel were two of the ATG metal album names.
Cemetery Gates is right up there with my favourite metal songs, too. Particularly one random live version that I have.

Yeah I get that. For example, not metal, but a lot of people hate the Pumpkins just because of Billy Corgan's nasal voice. I fucking love it and think it fits his songs perfectly and enhances them. Others, it drives them away from the songs.Funny thing is that for as much as I love the genre(and it may have been influenced by being in several metal bands), a lead singer can kill the whole deal for me.

Vocalists can be miscast.
Marketable, all of it.Metallica much more charismatic, though.

You like Half Baked? Huh. Wouldn't have predicted that....My name is earl (TV)
half baked (movie)
Mein Kampf (book from obscure author)
I knew guys who hated Jello Biafra's voice, and it's half of what got me into DK'sYeah I get that.

Billy Corgan has the most annoying voice in the history of rock. I get physically ill when I hear it. I'm getting mad just typing this.Yeah I get that.

I still have that $5.98 EP around somewhere. Great tunes.I found Garage Days re revisited to be awesome stuff.
"Not very produced by Metallica", but it's great by
