Unpopular opinion, but I like Unforgiven III more than II, and possibly just as much as I. When they played III at PBA in 2019 I was pretty hyped.
Hardwired wasn't terrible. Its not classic 80s Metallica but its good for a modern rock album IMO
I remember when a buddy of mine blew his speakers to this song. So bad ass.
Kip Winger, by all accounts is the nicest guy in music, and later on caught some flack for "she's only 17" and he said he had no idea because the law in Colorado (I think) was 17 and he didn't know it was 18 like everywhere else, or something like that.
Technically Breadfan is by Budgie. I will take Creeping Death or Seek and Destroy. These guys went down hill fast after the black album.
Would love to se them with Megadeth! That would be amazing if they could ever pull it off.
Limp Bizkit should never be uttered when discussing good music. I will say them causing a riot at Woodstock while performing Break Stuff was pretty cool to watch. That was crazy.
Agreed. But that cover of Sanitaruim was impressive. They even got Little Lars on his feet. Lol.
I am sort of the same way. I never listened to any Metallica until years after they were cool. Thank God for Headbangers Ball. That is where I heard One the first time and loved it. Loved that whole show. I discovered metal was pretty cool. Years later when I was in the Marines, we would have a company or battalion run every friday morning. I was in Headquarters my last year and pogue Marines were a different breed than grunt Marines that I was used to being around. I had a shitty S-10 pickup that had giant speakers and amp installed. So naturally, every Friday morning me and my fellow grunt buddies would roll into formation with Ride The Lightning blasted to 11 like a bunch of assholes. The rest of the office Marines would just stare at us in disgust. We didn't care. It seemed our 1st Sgt didn't either because we were never told to turn it down.
Les Claypool told a funny story about when Metallica was auditioning bass players after Cliff died. He went in and was doing some weird fusion jazz stuff knowing full well he would never be selected. Turns out he was correct. Those two guys are decidedly much different in their styles. Les is a bad man though. Super cool sound. I heard him in person a couple years ago when Slayer was in town. Primus was awesome and Les was a nut. Great show.
