A heavy metal band that was amazing up until 2003's "St. Anger", where the songwriting dropped off and Lars Ulrich started whining about Napster. Their music was incredible back in the 80's and the early 90's.

The greatest thrash metal band known to man, comprised of James Hetfield (singer/rythym guitarist), Lars Urlrich (drummer/founding member), Kirk
Hammett (lead guitarist/god), and Robert Trujillo (bassist). Former members include (but are not limited to) Dave Mustaine, Cliff Burton, and Jason Newsted.
Metallica has released 9 major albums
-Kill Em All
-Ride the Lightning
-Master of Puppets
-...And Justice for All
-Metallica (aka the Black Album)
-Load
-Reload
-St. Anger
-Death Magnetic
Metallica also released other projects, such as S&M, where the band recorded some of their greatest hits with the SFSO; Garage, Inc., a strictly cover disc set; and Some Kind of Monster, a documentary on the making of St. Anger.
Metallica is amazing. Don't deny it.

The Gods of metal, and the cd "MASTER OF PUPPETS" is their holy grail.
It doesn't get any better than these guys. Known for their grinding riffs, melodious interludes, and crazy guitar solos, they're the most kick ass band out there.
During the recording of the solo for the song Master of Puppets, Kirk isnt even sure what he did for one part. He pulled some sort of artificial harmonic and did something wierd on accident with the string that gave this sick sound that they liked, so they decided to keep it. Even when he screws up, it sounds sick!

The best metal band in history, they are considered one of the 4 greatest metal bands along with megadeth, slayer, and anthrax, but metallica is the best in my opinion. They have released great tracks such as, Master of Puppets, Fade to Black, One, Welcome Home(Sanitarium), Orion, and The Four Horsemen. They lost Cliff Burton in a bus accident in Sweden, the tour bus went off road and he flew out the window and was crushed by the bus. R.I.P Cliff Burton, we'll miss you and he was one of the best bassists ever.

One of the greatest thrash/speed metal bands ever to grace the earth, who have gained much criticism (some of which is understandable) over the suing of Napster for illegal downloads of their music and for the rather shite St. Anger album. Seeing as Metallica are my favourite band this is my attempt to be as unbiased as possible. Ok, I admit St. Anger was one of the worst albums ever made by a band of such quality. And maybe Load and ReLoad disappointed many Diehard Metal fans. But they were still good quality, but rather attempted to aim at a wider, more accessible market with a more rock sound. Megadeth and Metallica have shared many feuds over the last couple of decades, but there is no denying that Dave Mustaine is a far better guitarist than Kirk Hammett. On the flip side I think James is a better vocalist. If you combine the lyrics and vocals of Four Horsemen with the guitaring of Mechanix, the song would be truly amazing. It is a great shame that Dave left the band at such a promising stage because he in my opinion, would of had a major influence on the direction of Metallica. The band has been through a lot too, losing a member is not easy. Cliff was an amazing bassist and is sorely missed by many who idolised and loved him. I guess what I'm trying to say is that Metallica have become famous and people are annoyed because they are more mainstream but lets be honest even the last 3 albums have seldom been played on UK radio. I have only ever heard Enter Sandman and Nothing Else Matters played on radio..They aren't sellouts-just clever businessmen.
P.S Old school metal rules. New stuff sucks...

One of the best bands ever. Heavy influence since 1980's on metal music, popularizing the genre of trash metal. Formed by James Hetfield, Kirk Hammet, Lars Ulrich and Cliff Burton (R.I.P). Their only trouble is to keep a bassist on the band. Cliff, Jason Newsted... and Rob Trujillo.
