Quote from Hetfield comparing people in Colorado with people in the Bay Area:

(Bay Area people) talk about how diverse they are...it's fine, if you're diverse like them. You know...showin' up with a deer on the bumper doesn't fly in Marin County.....(in Colorado) they're less obsessed with stopping what you're doing, and more enjoying what they're doing.

I’d love to bump into him again.
Made a burger for him and his Wife in the late ‘80s during the Monsters of Rock tour when I was working at Fuddruckers in Denver.

My word, he’s not a total tool like so many in the music industry - who woulda thunk it? (See thread about Tommy Lee)

FWIW, I quit listening to Metallica after Puppets, In Justice was such a let-down I made my way over to a Metallica reject, Megadeth. Added bonus, Dave Mustaine is now a born-again Christian!

I never gave up on Dave. He screwed himself out of Metallica for sure, but God knew what was best for him. I pray God heals his cancer.

Master of Puppets is a masterpiece (no pun intended) and yes, I see your point. But it wasn't all a waste after Cliff died - Fuel is the second greatest driving song ever (of course, YOU know that Highway Star is #1) and Garage Days was entertaining. James is a pretty cool guy from what I've read.

Here is a link to a picture of Magadeath (it's very cool) - https://m.imgur.com/gallery/AqYLPAJ

Hmm. I wonder if he swaps venison recipes with Nugent.

Does anyone realize that Godsmack sound just like Metallica?

Best “melt your face off” song that Megadeath ever made - “Holy Wars - The Punishment”. Follow that up by “Caught In A Mosh” by Anthrax and you’ll be a smoking heap.

I’d have a mix of old school Brit Metal and Thrash:

1. Angel of Death - Slayer
2. Into the Pit - Testament
3. Electric Eye - Priest
4. Damage Inc. - Metallica
5. Symphony of Destruction - Megadeath

Bonus: Aces High - Maiden

Wont touch Slayer or any other death-metal stuff. Occasional Priest but not lately.

Meh... I really don’t consider Slayer or Testament to be Death Metal. I can’t stand that crap myself. To me, those two bands are simply thrash.
