I'm to old for Metallica. I just got the CD of Mannfred Mann's Earth Band “Solar Fire.” Great stuff. “Father of Day,Father of Night” is a great old tune!

I'm with you there. Fortunately, it is also the anniversary of little Stevie Winwood leaving the Spencer Davis Group to begin his years with Traffic and Blind Faith. It is hard to believe he started playing with SDG when he was only 14.

25 years ago, I was blowing my eardrums out with this album.

I still listen to it today.

I also found the orchestral version of this album to be very good as well. It can be found on YouTube.

. And Justice For All was the last decent thing they’ve done IMHO.

I like Justice better than Puppets although Puppets is a great album. I thought Black was good and if you just think that it was like a Metallica cover band with some of their own Original hits, it's not bad.

Just like witches, at black masses.

Ozzy really knew how to turn a rhyme ; P

Lars is an IDIOT
Mustane is better than Hammett

“Hey, I’m still trying to shake off King Crimson!”

Funny you should say that! One of my most recent CD purchases was the remaster of Larks’ Tongues in Aspic.

25 years? I must be getting old...

But this album STILL packs a mighty punch after all this time.

“Lars is an IDIOT”

What is understood need not be discussed.

“Mustane is better than Hammett”

Only if you like mindless doodling with no discernable melody.

““One” is there best song”

No, that would be “The Thing That Should Not Be.”

I only like Justice songs live. For the album Lars was using those awful electric drums, whole freaking album sounds like he’s banging on cardboard boxes with pencils. They’re good songs, but that “tick-tick-tick” drumming is so wrong for metal. When they play the songs live he uses real drums (apparently having gotten over the whole electric thing) and the songs sound like proper metal.

Can’t believe Master is 25. That makes next year my high school 25th. Must be gettin old.

Man do I feel old...

You'll really feel old when you realize that 'Who's Next' and 'Led Zeppelin IV' both turn 40 this year.

I own the album, it’s a classic. But, it’s the only album of theirs that I own. Any suggestions on “must own” albums by Mettalica?

I have:

Kill ‘Em All (1983)
Ride The Lightning (1984)
Master of Puppets (1986)
...And Justice for All (1988)
Metallica AKA The Black Album (1991)

The Black album in and of itself rocks pretty hard, and if it were any other band’s debut, it would be a classic itself. As it stands its my least favorite album of the ones I have.

After that, nothing worth buying has been released by Metallica.

When “Master of Puppets” was released I was a Senior in high school and I remember it very well. Not that I liked it very much but it was something I heard too much of. It doesn't seem that long ago at all.
