    For Whom The Bell Tolls
    I always knew Metallica fans’ taste was suspect, but for hot garbage like For Whom The Bell Tolls to make it this far, its worse than I could’ve imagined. 

    Fade To Black is probably THE best Metallica song.

    I just pointed out their best song.... Written by Bruce for The Dream Child for god sakes. I have the soundtrack.

    (and KISS' not so spectacular songs are what makes them great.)

    People voting for For Whom The Bell Tolls over Creeping Death are not to be trusted.

    I have to disagree with FWTBT being hot garbage (it’s a fantastic song), but fully agree that Fade To Black is one of the best there is!  It’s cool how music is such a subjective thing.

    I've always liked this song because of the anti- war message and the absurdity of the human sacrifice for a hill.   This,  Disposable Heroes and One are where Metallica were at their best imo.  It's also why I hated the Black album so much,  the naked jingoism of Don't Tread on Me and the obvious move to commercialism and Republicanism

    Lars and Kirk could only hold James back for so long.

    Lars is the one that started the Napster thing.  I blame him too.

    I don't even know who that is.  So I'll modify that Lars represented Metallica in the high profile anti-Napster piece.

    I don't think any of the songs on Ride rank in my top 10 for Metallica. Master and Justice were so damn good, that there's only about 1 song off each that I find less than excellent. I just got done listening to Puppets and am halfway through Justice. Side B of Master in to Side A of Justice is dynamite. The lyrics, the guitars, the drums; metal perfection!
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Q prime is their management. 

    Thought you were a fan

    :P

    but yes. I still think going against an illegal thing like napster is better than shooting bears and moving from San Fransisco because it was too left wing. 

    Jason Newstedt is the best member though.

    Newstedt was awesome.  I like him a lot.  Was into Flotsam back in my youth too.  Is Q Prime the same dickhead that struck the deal with TM to buy the premium tickets and then mark them all up on Stub Hub?

    KICK ASS!  Burton was a stud.  Newstedt was cool and chill and seemingly not a dick.  Burton was a monster.  

    I had that same Metal Up Your Ass shirt that Hetfield is wearing.  I wore it to school in 8th or 9th grade and got a day of in school suspension for it.  Plus they covered the ASS and the half the knife with tape.
