>hear song on the radio at work>opening riff grabs me immediately, its beautiful>the entire song is great>haunting vocals, heavy riffs>second half is totally different, picks up the tempo and is totally badass>ask my coworker what it is>he laughs and says fade to black by metallicabeen bumping this album all day, its so addicting.
>>130601982Both Traditional and Extreme metal from the 80s and 90s are great.
diapertallica sucks
>>130601982I actually remember the first time I heard Fade to Black as well. Was in my school gym for wrestling practice, about 30 years ago.

Wait til you get into Rust in Peace brohab
>>130601982>>130602642listened to both.Keith Richards was right. metal sucks.no swing. just mindlessly playing some memorized riffs as fast as you can like a machine.that's not music.tho I did sorta like when Metallica started to append slow parts to contrast with the speed metal parts starting with the masters of puppets link in another thread.but (in general) i'll give them points for trying something different.
>>130602708>just mindlessly playing some memorized riffs as fast as you can like a machine.if that's the impression you get from fade to black, there's no helping you. You're simply retarded.
>>130602744I was speaking on the title cut, ride the lightning.I just checked out the one you said and liked it.I already knew that song tho.didn't know they did it that early in their career tho.that's basically just a classic rock song tho.I was speaking on just the basic genre of speed metal that I think Metallica focused on when they started out.but again, I generally liked their classic rock type songs when they started incorporating that in (tho i think it's a bit overrated (kinda unoriginal) because of their name and the loyal metallica fan base).I also (repeating) liked their stuff like "one" where'd they do a slow part to contrast with the speed metal part. I didn't know they started doing that earlier in their career during masters of puppets era.
>>130602708>no swing. just mindlessly playing some memorized riffs as fast as you can like a machine.>that's not music.Why are you posting grandpa opinions when you're like 25
>>130601982
>>130604136metallica is at grandpa age now, unc.
>>130601982>muh uncGrow the fuck up already
>>130604524That just makes his post even more retarded.
>>130602708Ok boomer
Really tired of all these fossils posting on this board. Music is for the young.
>>130604604>Music is for the youngboomer detected
>>130601982This is my go-to for Metallica. Their "unc status" is mostly confined to the 1990s and onward. I assure you–"non-Unc" individuals of age knew they were shit as soon as it happened.
>>130601982>uncI'm sick of seeing this word, and no I'm not a boomer.
>>130602018Truth to power
>>130602690This
Do kids still learn how to play Smoke on the Water?
>>130601982Wild that Metallica is "unc" music now. I remember when they were the guys opening for my favorite band (Raven)
>>130608935Its the sound zoomers make when they're swallowing my cock. unc unc unc unc...get it?
>>130601982This fucking album. First record I ever bought with my own money. Changed my life.
>>130608951people don't listen to much music when they get older.human lifespan is weird.
>>130601982>Fade to BlackEdgy, emotional teens in the 80s made this their anthem.We were robbed of a good power ballad on MoP, Sanitarium just didn't quite cut it.One was ok, but not really something you could identify with.Check out:Watch the Children Pray, Metal ChurchWelcome to Dying, OnslaughtSoulitude, OverkillRoom With a View, Death AngelEscape From Within, Flotsam and JetsamHere Come the Tears, Judas Priest
>>130604393Metallica? douches. zoomers? douches .
>>130601982Heard this from my early Millennial literal unc:https://youtube.com/watch?v=RBDv8poMook
>>130608951OP is using "unc" in the meme zoomer way, Metallica is actually dadrock boomershit as a 40 year old band.
>>130604557but then they would be uncs
>>130601982It was on any rock or metal station pretty regularly in the 2000s. Already considered unc rock back then. That being said i fucking loved Metallica growing up and especially this song and yes that badass riff in the second half is one of my favorites in metal. Just a classic. Whole album rips. Would still love to see them even if I know Lars being off time is gonna ruin it
>>130604604We’re all millennials who never got married or procreated.
never tried metallica beyond their debut. what’s a good starter album?
>>130613937Probably this, or honestly the black album
>>130613937Why, St. Anger of course, their most modern-sounding album:https://youtube.com/watch?v=2icJcWB447Q&t=9https://youtube.com/watch?v=FwpgFip3KAEhttps://youtu.be/z304EXYvXrohttps://youtu.be/NxSgYehng1khttps://youtube.com/watch?v=NTU6NLovI_Q
>>130610868I can't listen to it anymore after hearing the live versions

>>130602708Everything Keith did was highly overrated. It was a mystery how he and Mick were even still alive in 2006. It's an even bigger mystery how they're both still alive in 2026.
>>130613937Go to their best album; And Justice for All. Peak Metallica. It's a shame that Metallica never had a good bass mix and James turned it down more on this album because Jason wasn't Cliff. The songs could really use a louder bass track.
>>130613739He couldn’t hang.
>>130602708>Keith Richards was rightthat’s it?… THAT’s the best rage bait you can do? drink this
>>130613841I hate how absolutely true and grim this statement is. No one else has any real reason to be on this site. And almost 0% of us are going to turn things around at this point, that shit just doesn't happen when you're already pushing 40.
>>130613937If you want something more approachable and radio-friendly, then listen to the self-titled album (the one with the black cover art from 1991). It's more heavy metal and less thrash metal. If you want to sample their harsher 80s thrash metal stuff, which is generally considered to be their best work, then listen to Master of Puppets.
>>130618272>>130619945sorry, KR was an originator of the explosion in guitar rock music, so his opinion has weight, y'all's not so much.KR: "For most bands, getting the syncopation is beyond them. It’s endless thudding away, with no bounce, no lift, no syncopation".
