Metallica is an American heavy metal band from Los Angeles, California, formed in 1981.Wikipedia

Some say they're legendary, some say they're overrated. But the question is, what do you think of Metallica?

legendary when it comes to influence, 90% of the reason they got to where they did was because of Dave Mustaine though. they are a bit overrated cuz noobs call them one of the best metal / thrash bands which they are not anywhere close to. but their impact and influence cannot be overlooked, and for all their shortcomings, their first 4 / 5 albums are still very good and classics of the thrash genre.

The first 4 albums are not just metal classics, but just classics period. After that they went down hill. Their last two albums are a total embarrassment. :lol:

I loved their first 5 albums, and Death Magnetic. They're one of my favorite bands. If it wasn't for them we wouldn't have many bands today. But yea like nimatoad said, I hate n00bs who praise Metallica way too much.

First 2 albums are amazing no doubt. The next 2 are good but not nearly what Kill Em All and Ride the Lightining were. Then they stopped caring. Death MAgnetic actually wasn't bad but Metallica is a passable band but not even close to one of the best thrash bands around

So you don't like Death Magnetic, that's weird the album is a lot better than Load, Reload, and St. Anger. They're going back to their old roots.

I hope you're kidding on that last one, Death Magnetic is pretty good and the only problem I had with it was the mastering and James voice. Many of the album reviews would agree with me.

death magnetic was fine, not amazing, but not bad at all. imo it was forgettable but nothing to make fun of, all nightmare long and the day that never comes were great, especially nighmare long and its music video.. cyanide and almost all the other songs were passable. Endgame is going to own it tho, well.. UA already was bttr.

I used to like them alot, though I've grown extremely tired of their music. I don't care much for them anymore. It honestly bores me these days.

Exactly I don't mind if he doesn't like the album but calling it an abomination is too much. And yea Endgame is going to own, I'm going to pre-order it whenever I can. The album is going to be worth having a solid copy of.

Metallica is my second favorite band. I like KEA, RTL, MoP, AJFA, and Metallica the most.

Metallica is what got me into metal.

Yeah, Death Magnetic's songs are forgettable most of the time, like Suicide & Redemption and Broken Beat.

The good thing about Metallica is that their singles or most popular old songs are great.

The problem with them though is that there's only a few good songs on the older albums and hardly any on the newer ones. They're basicly only popular because of their singles and media reception.

I like Megadeth a lot more.

So far Megadeth has been making some pretty awesome albums.

Even though it isn't in the 80's.

umm.. no? every song on their first 4 albums is GREAT, except for shortest straw, escape, and harvester of sorrow. and they arnt even bad really, they just are ok. you underestamate metallica greatly, or maybe youve only listened to their popular songs, or just hate metal or are a fan of hating on metallica. pick one.

I have their whole original discography. I don't think I would underestimate or hate a band that I have that much of their work. If you think I hate metal because I have an opinion that closely resembles that of a lot of logical metal fan just because only a small fraction of Metallica's songs are actually good, you need to get a reality check.

Also, your grammar and spelling needs some work too.
