metaallica sucks, kill em all was all dave mustaines music
Nothing better than trash metal!!!
One of their best!
METALLICA \M/ gods of metal
@gabhud I ama true trash fan here's aMetallica fun fact for ya Metallica released thier first album in 1983 called kill em all and the meaning of the album was F**K GLAM!!!!!!!! ! t h e y released their fifth album in 1991 called the black album the meaning of it was WE WANT MORE MONEY!!!!!!! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! F**K YOU JAMES AND KIRK you dishonor Cliff R.I.P. CLIFF may you swiftly put metal up their asses LOL every time I say rip cliff I make my self sad :(
good song\

Every part of Metallica is AMAZING and if you don't think so your not a true fan!
I guess we all owe a death, but least we not wish an early one on anyone. Though as humans we may feel like we are some sort of sacrificial lambs, wether we want to admit it or not. I think it is important, however, that our sacrifices seem to point toward what it is we are trying to make of the one life we have and not all toward our peers uses of us.
Damn I miss this s**t just what the metal gods ordered I grew up on this f**king kick a** band love em best metal band in the world no band will ever even come close to comparing !!! Lars is a drumming genius James baddest front man ever !!
Albums*
Uhh... Metallica's last few albums might not have been their best, but they didn't suck! Songs like king nothing, fuel, or st. anger are cool and those are from the newer album. Metallica will always be the most influential metal band alive. (Response to last comment.)
abelstrd
This album is their best work ever. Master of Puppets was cool. And justice was eh, then everything after that SUCKS!
Metallica !... thats all that needs to be said !
I love this solo so much XD \m/
austindutton 5

robertfoster 1 1
awesome
Flick the switch of death and fry the f**ker
,,ride your mother,,
this song is the sh-t
teodor_trapk o v
happy to see them trying to return to the original sound, but with those sell out albums between 91 and 2009 they lost me as fan.
favorite album, awesome song!
Come on now...their tunes for the most part rock!
I saw em' in 1985 Monsters of Rock tour (first real one) and they sucked so bad they got boooed off the stage in Tampa. I saw em' in Oakland 2 years ago, and they rocked soooo bad!! They were awesome! Metallica dead?? no way
went down hill when cliff died
audaciousap
YES
There are no words to express how truly awesome this song is \m/ \m/
dj_sakk
Some of the most rocking lyrics period
jwslc1996
anything after the black album sux
The only song better than this that has to do with imminent death is Hallowed Be Thy Name.
great song

this band was so good- and so far out in front of the pack---we now tend to take them for granted
He has the ocasional vocal replapse live, too bad he blew his vocals in 91 singing So What. =/

Anyways this is an another great 'tallica song!
Too bad Hetfield can't scream like this anymore... Anyway, one of their top 5, although I still thin Damage Inc. is better. "I Don't Want To DIE!!!"
Meh, you can't say music is good or bad and think you will be right, there will always be someone who thinks it is good and will follow it. Metallica has had fans for over 30 years, they are still doing strong and will always be strong. METALLICA FOREVER!!!
i love all the music critics on here! this song tears. maybe if you think there are "minor problems" you ought to be working at a multinationa l record label.
Hey people from the past.....UP HERE!!!!

Yes, in fact Metalica is complex music but just wait untill 5150.
It will blow.
psycher1 im sorry, not one of their best?
I just saw Metallica two weeks ago and they played this song! so awesome!
taraviolet91
good stuff
psycher1
Some minor issues really hold this song back. A few awkward lyrics and odd screams really prevented this from becomming one of their best. A shame.

Gotta love the live version lol. He forgets the lyrics. It's on pandora also.

Btw anybody else hate how the 'similar songs' thing epic fails with this kind of music?
greatest metallica song!!!!! sooo goood!!!!!!!
yes!!!!! greatest metallica song ever!!!!
my personal favorite metallica song of all time..real bummer that they dont play it live anymore..
jsharp62
ride the lighting oh yeah!!!!!!!! !
